Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: CFL financial status
Last post by Balticfox - November 18, 2025, 10:53:57 PM
I've also heard that circa 2012 the developers of the John Madden video game created a version for the CFL but it was never released. The introduction of a CFL video game would be a great way to groom future fans because (like it or not) kids are all about video games these days.

I keep wondering whether the paucity of CFL items/promotions might be partially due to the CFL asking too much in licensing fees. Rather than treating such promotions as a profit center, the CFL should be treating these as part and parcel of their marketing efforts to develop future generations of fans.

I think he got somewhere between U.S.$250,000 and U.S.$500,000 for the part that he sold.

Fantastic write up, you have an excellent memory!
I collected when I was a kid and would hang out at Tony O's in Windsor Park a couple of times a week. The owner even let me watch the store when he had to take off for a bit, but I can't even remember his name!
Do you know how much Angelo sold part of his collection for?

Labelling Harris a traitor because he took on a coaching role with the Bombers' main rival just smacks of pettiness.

Maybe the Bombers should've offered him that RB coach role. Heck, he'd probably make a better OC than the current one on staff.

Quote from: Horseman on November 18, 2025, 08:12:32 PMHe is not a traitor for going to play for the Argos, he IS a traitor for going to Sask, no true Bomber would ever go to Sask, that is why he is and always will be considered a traitor to me. Can't change my mind. Oh and Yoshi falls into that as well.
Grow up man. Players go and play for those who will give them the money they want to be paid for their services. Given the hopeless state of our O line, we couldn't use yoshi s services, leadership and much needed mean streak—of course we could!! So he s not a traitor... we re just cheap and stupid. You can't expect players to stay here and give up big dough in the prime of their money earning years.

Still love Harris and yoshi, wish they could both be here but they aren't. They are far from dead to me

Quote from: dd on November 18, 2025, 05:51:59 PMThat's pretty harsh. It's so unfortunate that things didnt work out between him and the BB, but you got to move on. He isn't a traitor, he went to someplace where he could continue playing, you would have done the same thing.

I wouldn't say he was a traitor, rather, he's a survivor and a winner and his rings prove that.

He is not a traitor for going to play for the Argos, he IS a traitor for going to Sask, no true Bomber would ever go to Sask, that is why he is and always will be considered a traitor to me. Can't change my mind. Oh and Yoshi falls into that as well.

Quote from: Foxhound on November 17, 2025, 11:19:31 PMHow much did the Blue Bombers offer Andrew Harris for a coaching position?

???

Probably nothing as HE stated he was going to coach the Surrey Rams, but we will never know for sure.

NOPE, traitor, you can support a traitor if YOU want to but he is dead to me now.
