Well, same ****, different year. The CFL screwed itself 100 times over by going to a single game provider in 2008. The other networks basically said, Eff You. Now, they're stuck with a shitty provider who chronically underpays because they can do what they want. And a former TSN president negotiating with his old company?? What good can come from that?

Bell would be doing Johnston a huge favour by signing any deal before even a snap of Stewball has been played.  They likely want to see what the game looks like and if it's digestible, if people care and if people still watch.
