Re: What happened to the Tailgate?

Stay tuned - this one is not over yet. Feel free to email these idiots marketing@concordpacific.com and let them know how you feel and how you will keep this in mind the next time you are deciding to do business with them. Probably wouldnt be a bad idea to cc Jim Mullin or one of the Sun or Provinc...

I went to the Canadian Football Hall Of Fame a few years ago and thought it was *groan alert* a bust. Kidding aside, I was really disappointed with our Hall. I just didn't find it that interesting. There's hardly anything to really engage the visitor and I actually found it kind of threadbare. If t...

Re: Crowd Noise

"the CFL plans to monitor the crowd noise this weekend and if it's discovered the sound crew of B.C. Place does in fact break any rules by playing canned crowd noise, than the officials will be notified from up in the booth, and a penalty will be assessed against the Lions." from a media ...

Puzzling to me as to why such items would be team issue only. I see Kent Austin wearing that nice RBK Riders hat every game but have yet to see it online anywhere. Typical CFL merchandising gurus probably wont make them available for 2 or 3 years when theyre out of style.

Re: andromedanet question

Got a question for those in the know. Tried to watch the game on CBC which is aired on http://www.andromedanet.com/tvu.html - as of last week you could click on it and watch the sports link which carried a variety of sports channels as well as CBC - however now you have to sign in with a user name ...

Re: Can a coach call a last second time out like that in the

They said that about one quarter of the Bills fans are from Ontario. Now we know where all the fans aren't during an Argos game Who said that? I think thats a gross overestimate. I would say 10% at most. Those fans that snub the Argos and drive down to watch the bills never have and probably never ...

I have an issue with Shaw cable supposedly not being able to do the blackout in just the stated area as per usual. Just one more reason to switch to satellite. Cable sucks. Yeah, that's what my buddy with satellite keeps telling me... in between cursing at the signal dropping out every time the wea...

Try this website around gametime. Theres a link to TSN there and it might be up and running by then. Tends to be hit and miss for CBC feeds but usually show FNF on there. Us fans in the US are unfairly blacked out from Friday Night Football unless you have Dish HD. This is a way around it. Good luck...

Chris Berman has showed playoff and grey cup highlights on ESPN for years. He even speaks French if the highlights involve the Als. What I have heard, which makes sense, is that a TSN feed is always running in the ESPN newsroom so the ESPN people can't help but watch the CFL games on there. Berman ...

If you were setting up a cable/satellite package in the US solely to get CFL games, what is the best way to go about this. I live in Seattle and have looked at the press release on the cfl.ca website, and it lists the coverage for some markets but not for Seattle. It looks like there is some conten...
