gruncing...... honestly, $30mm seems like chump change for what is going on these days...... cfl is one of the few things that really links regions across canada. government has helped all kinds of cultural institutions, many of whom employ americans... certainly, mike reilly and a few other QB's ma...

good discussion, thank you everyone :) here's a question with probably an obvious answer: if i'm a baseball player. signed a huge contract years ago. don't play up to that level whatsoever. thinking albert pujols...... i have one year left on contract at $28MM........ if baseball cancels season, is ...

here's a crazy idea......... why not market cfl teams as immigrant investments?............. living here in vancouver, i see some businesses run by persians and chinese and wonder if there's any expectation of making money. like a fairly large home furnishing store that couldn't make change for a $1...

i do think the league needs a maximum salary for players... they may have one and i don't know it. if they do, it's too high. much easier to go to government with a bunch of americans making $150k than a few making $700k i don't think fed government should have that much trouble with a 50/50 player/...

i do think the CFL provides one of the few things that links people from across the country (once halifax CFL team starts). so i think the government should subsidize it in the future............ if the government can subsidize the CBC for so many years, i think it can do likewise for the CFL. might...

i see the discussion about needing to open up more but cautiously... i agree... we have all kinds of driving deaths per year but we still have highways..... governments make money off smoking for gosh sakes. i understand smoking is voluntary but still i think this is telling in the covid matter. ex-...

i would bet that if you asked the average inuit or native indian that they don't care negatively about this. in fact the ones i know i think would be positive (and this includes people very very negative on residential school past) i believe the washington post did such a survey with those results.....

all leagues are going to have issues for quite awhile. longer than people think athletes are sqwuaking, rightfully i might add, about having to stay in bubbles for extended periods of time. i fail to see what will different in 2021 seasons. i'd even say 2023 season. vaccinating billions of people wi...

grunching here. what is the monthly burn rate for teams right now?...... seemed like CFL was asking federal government for a huge amount of money relative to what i would have thought hard cash expenses represent. why should CFL gm's, player personnel directors etc. be getting paid right now? there ...

grunching here. CFL is definitely in a tough spot. what are CFL teams run-rate loss with no season?............ has any of this been articulated? those government help numbers mentioned 6 weeks ago seemed really really high for something that won't have games (and presumably won't be paying out $4-5...

the league needs to fix toronto, BC and montreal.......

wondering if MLSE might want some sort of beach-head in BC, montreal......

will the league be more canadian after a government bailout?

thanks for all the excellent comments :) i agree with one of the final comments about extremely successful people. i've known some billionaires and some guys who made > $10MM per year before they were 40. i also find that these people hustle like crazy........ why can't they have 100% market share i...

thanks for the great responses :) 3 and 3 on offense and then a deep safety would be awesome if we can do it. i'm thinking every team in the league almost every year is 3 oline, 2+ wr........ interior d'line is an area where some teams have started going national. i know of hamilton. think there are...

thx for the correct on the oline re: 2 nat starters. a bit torn on herdman as a starter at MLB, 1) on one hand, i don't consider MLB a key position in a 3-down passing league 2) our LB's seemed to be a mess last year until we went away from so many canadian starters. i also remember herdman recordin...

my one whitecap memory. willie johnston (sp?) taking a swig of beer before corner kick and then we scored off corner kick. also, peter lorimar scoring from the opening kick against malmo sweden.
