No we don't want a nearly 80 year old man evaluating our prospects. There's a point where everyone just needs to retire and that was before the last time we hired Wylie.

Again, there is no one even close to being an oline wizard that Wylie has shown to be. His "Mushroom Academy"and "COOL clinic" testify to that.  The following that he has among the hog community is legendary.

I can't see any downside in having him in camp.

Fun fact: Bob Wylie comes from wealth. Last time around we pretty much paid him in restaurant meals so cost is not the issue. Not sure he's the right fit this time around as I don't really think we have a coaching, scheme or technique issue along the offensive line. It's in age and talent issue. 

Yeah, I believe he also got a really nice condo in those buildings at the corner of Pembina and Bison...

I'm not saying he needs to be on board for the season, just for camp, shaking out the recruits.  Finding the rough diamond and polishing him into the gem we need.  Giving the oline (and Oline coach) extra tools to succeed with.

Danny Maciocia coached Kramdi at the Univ. of Mtl and has a very high opinion of his intelligence so he'd likely be his biggest suitor, but unlikely he has the budget for another expensive Natl. DB with Marc-Antoine Dequoy also headed for free agency, he might be in line for $200k.

I'd give up Kramdi for Dequoy... if we had to.

Where is Jaworski? Guy had an awesome game in the one he played in.

He's on the Blue Bomber roster.

Can Walters please open the vault for one of Katsatonis or Duqouy?  Please?  I'd love to see either of those guys in our defensive backfield.

Fat chance this happens. Both are top $$nat s and their respective clubs won't let them walk like we do with top NAT players. We need to upgrade our OL and DL, cam Allen at safety will have to do

100% correct. That is key to marketing.

The league could have trotted out the issues of viability, credibility, sustainability etc., etc. as reasons.
Why though? Among committed CFL fans, it is widely accepted that the league is facing major challenges. 

Poor marketing of the product. It does not help that the Toronto franchise has been driven into the ground by MLSE. 15 years ago the Argos were averaging nearly 30,000 fans/game.

If MLSE sold the team and got put of Canadian football, I have zero doubt that these horrible changes to the game would have never been implemented.

Not only that, it's been proven that community ownership is the way to go.
