CFL (Non-Bombers) off-season news

[Tecno]

(someone tell me how the heck is kelly getting marketing money , based on his negative impact he should be paying the argos.)

PSAs on how to not harass people?

[Tecno]

Why on earth is Zach's MMM $0?  Looks like he's the only one with $0 MMM!!  Even the backups are getting more MMM than him.  WTH KW??  Even if we use it to hide $15k like some of the lesser guys, that's $15k less off the SMS.

And this contradicts previous reports on this forum Zach was $25k-$50k MMM?

Zach should easily be $50-$100k MMM and not a single person or league official would bat an eye.

Being "good" doesn't earn you marketing money. You've gotta go out and actually do stuff (even before they strengthened the language). Collaros has never been one for non football engagements. That's not to say he's not a nice guy who doesn't put smiles on faces, it's just that he doesn't typically seek out the kinds of things that marketing money requires. Put simply, he focuses on football during the season and isn't around afterwards.

Nothing more to it than that.

Lol.  I've got a bridge to sell, too!

And Zach does an autograph signing day or 2 each season.  Each one could easily count for $10k.

Like anyone is lining up to get a Maier or Crum autograph to justify their $10's of k's??

Show me the accounting ledger and proof-of-time-spent for Rourke's $150k.  Then I'll think about believing in the Magic Marketing Money.

Add'l:
It's like meal expenses for a small business.  You keep all your receipts, etc, but what it comes down to is was the yearly total "reasonable" for your class/size of business.  We could easily spend the "reasonable" amount on MMM, show proof of showing up to a couple of things, and no one at the league would bat an eye.  $50k wouldn't even show up on anyone's radar.

...I don't know why you ask questions if you don't actually want the answer.

I don't know why you refuse to read and think about actual debate points, and you never try to refute any, resorting to sweeping hand-waving.  It's like arguing with my wife.

Feb 17, 2026, Zach Collaros did an autograph session at PAS.  Every other team would say that's worth $10k MMM.  We didn't.  Why not?  Let's apply reasonable use of the MMM like very other team and QB and put more money back in our SMS pocket to spend on improving the team.
