I don't recall that more scoring was a stated objective.
The only projection was that there would be more touchdowns and less field goals.
Touchdowns are more exciting than field goals...that was the stated objective that I do recall.

Looks like the Als used some of the 2025 SMS increase left with $100K singing bonus.  I don't know what Philpot earned in 2025 but in that sense it may be a similar SMS hit for 2026. 

He extended a year in 2025 from his original ELC. Just guessing but maybe he was at $175K for his 4th year? Either way, he's a top receiver regardless of nationality.

It's a bit of a risk, Philpot has missed significant time due to injury, participating in only 34 of 54 games over the last 3 seasons.

I think he means "weak live".
He's a straight up hater.
Nothing gets the crowd going faster than busting out the acoustic guitar for Off He Goes 

I didn't attend GC109 in person but I thought Green Day crushed their half-time show; it looked pretty from what I saw on TV.

I've only seen Green Day live once (20+ years ago) but it was an unreal performance.

Not completely true. For example the NFL moved the goalposts to the back of the end-zone so we can use their experience to show what our will be. Did it help with scoring? Did it open up the middle of the field?

I noticed that Fetts was replaced by AI9 of the #1 PP late in the game last night. I am wondering if that's because of hit Fetts took, or just going back to what worked early in the season.

Wowsers, $275,000 with a $100k signing bonus, that upsets the apple cart as most GM's were working to keep elite receiver pay around $225k. Hopefully this doesn't increase Demski's price beyond the $225k he currently earns, the team has been paying him a premium for many years and he' isn't getting any younger.

CFL award-winner Trey Vaval to work out for New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns: sources

I think there's a good chance they lose Vaval for a couple of years, of all the positions the returner has the cleanest shot of convincing NFL management he's worth a contract with his individual performance on the field alone, a good return average cuts through all the politics and favouritism that dogs every other position.

Unfortunate for the Bombers but I hope he succeeds in his NFL dream. We can't blame him for that hope. Big payday and playing in his home country.

Canada's DeBoer: Olympic ice expected to be smaller than NHL standard

Some pretty scathing info in this article. Pretty embarrassing for the IOC but that's nothing new with such a corrupt and inept organization.

I heard a report that this building is not finished and there is no plan B. If true that is crazy stuff.
