Last post by TBURGESS - Today at 07:15:42 PMQuote from: blue_or_die on Today at 06:40:47 PMArbitrary? The commissioner and owners have been incredibly forthright in their careful research, planning and execution of these efforts. They've clearly communicated with their paying fanbase how these modifications will grow interest and revenues and make the league financially sustainable for decades to come. The people in charge know way more about football that you or me and so we shall put our unrelenting trust in them. Can you even name a time where they've made silly mistakes, dumbfounded initiatives or shown a lackadaisical approach to running the league?BS
It's time we all just calm down and be happy that the grown ups are running the league now and we are in good hands. Non-issue, handled internally.

Last post by blue_or_die - Today at 06:40:47 PMQuote from: blue_gold_84 on Today at 02:00:54 PMThat's not the job of a commissioner. The same way it's not his job to ram through arbitrary changes without consultation of the players - at the very least.

Last post by bomber beetle - Today at 06:30:40 PMThe process was fast-tracked, but it seems that not consulting the players (and the fans, obviously) is a valid choice that was made.
Lauther stated the CFLPA wasn't consulted about the changes but also noted this wasn't something the CFL had to bring to them.
"I think maybe a lot of guys think (consultation) would have been nice as 25 per cent revenue partners to know a little bit more but at the end of the day, they don't have to," Lauther said. "They made the decision to make the changes they wanted and for us, especially as a vice-president, we are worried about player safety and growing revenue and if this does that, there's not much we can complain about," Lauther said.

Last post by blue_gold_84 - Today at 05:54:39 PMThe interior of the D-line needs more beef; it's been too small recently. If the Bombers could find another Nevis and/or Richardson type, that would improve things, IMO.

Last post by Blue In BC - Today at 05:43:41 PMQuote from: DM83 on Today at 05:00:04 AMHolm is the only keeper. All others are replaceable. Most have potential to qualify as potential red blacks.nit sure if the collection would actually make another CFL. The special teams guys would make most other teams rosters, as good players but questionable as starters.
Most Teams have foot soldiers like this group. We need some guys who can start and make plays /excell.
The entire O line remains a liability
We need to pay the O linemen
We need better DBs.. other than those two groups we should. Do Ok.
Our problem on defence is the DL. Our DB's might be over paid but they are the least of our problems.

Last post by theaardvark - Today at 05:35:17 PMWith the current adversarial climate, can you see a Canadian NFL franchise? Would NFL fans protest when a Canadian team visited? Would Canadian fans boo visiting teams / anthems?
Not saying this is a deal breaker for MLSE, but still, for the NFL, do they want/need the hassel, especially when there are plenty of US spots they can go? Or how about Dubai or Riyadh? London? Berlin? Moscow? Soeul? Tokyo?
And the problem with giving Toronto a team is then Buffalo would want one.

Last post by Throw Long Bannatyne - Today at 05:13:13 PMQuote from: Tecno on Today at 02:17:00 AMKenny has the best hands, the best circus. Bar none. But he doesn't have the mega production or consistent game-winning capability. Think back to Burnham in BC. Now that dude would single-handedly win you games, as long as the rest of the team wasn't crap (and sometimes he'd do it regardless).
My point is, a guy like Burnham is better to have. And he should have been worth $$ more (inflation adjusted). But he wasn't -- he was never paid as high as Kenny. As such Kenny is clearly way overpaid. There really is no Burnham level guy in the CFL right now.
I always thought circus catches were overrated as the receiver usually ends up on the ground or on his head after catching a near un-catchable pass. I'll take a well timed throw that leads the receiver plus an additional 20+ YAC yds. every time, which is what Schoen used to deliver almost every game.
