DR. CFL Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I think the assumption that over spending the cap by 18k had a significant effect on them winning the cap is a bit of a stretch. A little perspective might be the Yankees annual attempt to spend and win the World Series. Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 under 100k = $ for $ fine + down 1 spot for first pick 100k and over = $ for $ fine + lose first pick. that make sense to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpants Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I wouldn't care too much if we won a cup by spending slightly over the cap.... if the league wants to be serious about penalizing teams for going over then start taking away draft picks.... dollar for dollar on $18k is no big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I would prefer some meaningful slap. The idea of moving down the draft makes sense. The drop for each 10K sounds right. But it would have to be in the 1st round. There seemed to be a conscious effort, with deferred payments, to keep the overage as low as possible. There should be more of a fitting punishment. Something like how we're punished when we have to listen to their blathering. Or it that too harsh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I think the punishment for going over the cap should be that the teams play by play man for the season is Rod Black. Noeller, Floyd, Mr Dee and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Take away their draft picks for a year. Fine them $1,000,000 and stop kissing their ass by calling them Canada's team. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 its $17k... no big deal... as if you're going to take away a draft pick for $17k.... basically, they are over the cap because they had to payout grey cup bonuses - all teams should operate like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 As others have said, Riders and their fans whined for years about an unlevel playing field. Now they have repeatedly exceded the SMS. Sickening. So Floyd, why have rules? Why have laws? Basically what you're saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Noeller. At least I've seen the Bombers win a Grey Cup unlike you. I never went to Osborne Stadium as that was before my time. By the pictures I've seen, it looked like an interesting place, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR. CFL Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 The cfl pays for 54 playoff shares to be distributed to active, injured and 9 game injured. Any other shares paid to coaches, staff and pr players are at the expense of the team. Bonus clauses to the players for playoff performances are not permitted in a standard player contract.

They could, but if the league pays them, why insert them in a contract? Most contracts have bonuses in regards to games played or something with regards to stats.

Yeah, but no way that at 10 you were the fan you are now at 33 or 34. Great you have a 1990 pennant. You can't tell me that a GC victory by the Bombers wouldn't be a hugely emotional thing for you if they won now. Bigger than 1990 for you. I've been there, done that. But if I talk more about it, I'll have to bring in Nate to describe what the feeling is like when your team wins when you actually care. Noeller, just giving you the gears, man....

Keep in mind, the Bombers in 1990 not only did they win the cup, it was their 3rd in 6 years, so there was almost an expectation of not only appearing in the big game, but one of winning it as well.
