@TSNScianitti: After a conference call #CFLPA has verbally agreed to terms on a tentative deal for a new CBA w the #CFL, pending ratification by players

 

 

I think it says a lot about our locker room that while Foley, Mo Price and the rest of them are babbling away on Twitter about not being able to afford their groceries, our team is doing things like giving away tickets and apparel to fans.

Its starts at the top. Think its a real indication of the effect that MOS has had inside the looker room. He preaches professionalism and it looks like they are buying in.

Yes, I'm not sure that last year's coach really knew what Twitter is/was.

There was a disconnect there....kinda like the difference between a rotary phone and digital.

 

Burke used a phone you wound up... Loved Burke as a DC but what a disaster as a head coach.

 

 

Matt Scianetti (sp??) just tweeted that sources tell him the cba will be rattified.

 

Can you quote the tweet?

- Option year taken out for non rookies.

- CBA will reopen if league makes additional $27 million in league wide revenue. An interesting provision that the League has though, if the Riders make up more than 20% of the $27 million, the CBA can not be reopen to negotiate.

What's the over/under on insulting Tim Burke this season?

Burke was watching re runs of the Waltons. Saw Ike Godsey use the phone. He went, "Oh, that's how you do it?"

Ratification to take place Thursday according to a source requesting anonymity.
