And that's a delicious irony here, IMO: video replay and camera technology are subpar when it comes to CFL coverage in-game, but there's no mention of trying to upgrade any of it or make improvements - in order to avoid bush league situations like this in big games.

Ya, for the playoffs they really should double the number of cameras.  Like a lot more sideline handhelds in the EZ.  Put a cam on every camera pad in the stands (usually like half are used).  More roof cams.  More behind-the-EZ cams.

And more hi-rez super-slowmo cams for the EZ.

There's no reason we have to rely on grainy high-motion shots like Doman is showing.

I can understand not wanting to pay the added expense in-season, but we should splurge for the post-season -- only 5 games!

Yeah, I can see that. But, this article indicates that the stated amounts are just from Grey Cup week.

Hmm, ya, it would appear the GC is worth more than I thought.  $7M still seems crazy though.  I just checked 2023 SSK's GC and they say it got them $3.3M profit.  Still, much more than the $1.5-ish I thought.

So again, why do teams seem to shy away from hosting a GC?  Very few put their hat in the ring each year (usually only 2 teams?).  Don't EDM, TOR, OTT want all this free money??  Weird.

Does O'Shea have aspirations to try the GM thing? Does Clemons offer up a HC/asst. GM type of deal?

It's going to be interesting to see how this unfolds.

It all comes down to the roster the team ends up with. Argos finished out of the playoffs with Dinwiddie and he's a very good coach. Roster and injuries took him from the Grey Cup winning coach to toast per see.

There is no guarantee O'Shea if he leaves doesn't suffer the same fate.

That's why it doesn't make much sense for O'Shea to leave, he's got a safe secure job in Wpg, if it took him  3 years to improve the Argos performance he could be risking his neck.

If he moves on he will bring great success where ever he goes.  I wish him well if that's the case but gut tells me another year here is in the cards.  Lots of factors for him to consider based on what I read above.  Good insight.

If MOS does go to TO will he take his OC/DC plus Collaros? That would open up Kelly to Ottawa and maybe Brown and Crum to Winnipeg.

Mike was a good coach earlier and would step in if things aren't working on the field. Lately he just stands on the sidelines and leaves everything to his coaching which are NOT working lately

Collaros is under contract in Winnipeg. So he can't just take him. So that's a giant leap in speculation. Wait until he actually decides to leave which is not a given.

I'd take Brown and Crum in that scenario but you're suggesting 3 starting QB's get moved in some sort of trade.

Sometimes life is weird, so many cases where they find something when looking for something else.  Might have got lucky and hopefully he can recover.  Too young.

The talk about this being a bad matchup is really off base imo.  People are just biased b/c Mtl beat us with a very confident / cocky QB and of course many on here are anti Rider (which I do understand to an extent).  The best two clubs will play a great game.  I wanted BC vs Hammy but you can't have it all (would have been more bombs imo).  I'll likely just cheer for the big or awesome plays on either side.  I don't care who wins really.  I usually cheer for Sask when the Bombers are out just b/c I have travelled so much to see them for Labour day.  I am very excited to watch some more ball, yes too bad the Blue are not there but this is a very special day and I remember previous Grey Cups really fondly.  Weather will be good, field will be in mint shape likely.  Will make for best team wins.  Haven't checked the wind.  If you are complaining about the weather forecast you are forgetting where we live.  This is about as good as it gets.  Could be -20 and a foot of snow.
