Re: Riders vs. Lions, October 4th - Attendance/Seating

...look at the sections that have been sold out (with singles only remaining) in the upper deck...it's the $25 family zone and now the $30 tailgating zone. If the Lions offered up the new sections opened up in the upper deck for $25-30 including all fees, more seats would be sold. Daryldix you and ...

Re: The New TV Contract...

I often think the work TSN has done with the CFL broadcasts is underrated. I am of the opinion the CFL on TSN is a major reason the CFL has been on a popular upswing the last 6 years. Honestly the league could not have asked for a better broadcasting partner. The rise in popularity of the CFL on TSN...

Re: How would you rate Mark Cohon?

Best commissioner since Jake Gaudaur. And that is saying something as the last few commissioners prior to Cohon had done a good job.
I give MC an A rating.

GC100 TV Numbers

The good news is that 5.8-million viewers on TSN-RDS tuned in to watch the 100th edition. The bad news is that 5.8 million viewers on TSN-RDS tuned in to watch the 100th edition. But seriously folks that is an ass-kicking number, up 28% from the 99th Grey Cup. It is a record for English viewership i...

Re: Reilly or McPherson: Best Candidate for Starting QB?

I wouldn't touch MacPherson with a 110 yard field. There is something wrong with the guy (at least in terms of ambition) For him to voluntarily remain behind AC for so long shows he really has no interest or desire in a number 1 job. Which means he really has no interest or desire to keep a number 1...

Re: Argos 35 - Stampeders 22 Grey Cup Post Game Comments

Hufnagel may want to be wary of what he wishes for. I still think that Glenn will want more money after his season, that may also be a way for Huf to purge himself of Glenn and ride Tate in 2013. If Glenn pushes the idea of a new contract, he may get a shot at another starter position within the CF...

Re: Argos 35 - Stampeders 22 Grey Cup Post Game Comments

What a craptacular football game. On an entertainment scale I give it a 3/10. Not a good showing for the 100th edition by any stretch. Dickenson really got taken to school in this one, not that his shaky QB helped matters. Credit to the Argos who came to play and are fully deserving of the champions...

Re: The Old 4 Discussion

I think Wally is going to have the off season talk with both Bruce and Simon as he looks to upgrade the slots with faster and younger. I suspect Bruce will be released but Simon, in the respect he deserves, will be given a softer landing with a reduced pay, reduced playing time option. I don't know ...

Re: Monday morning quarterback - some tough questions....

Rather than dwell on what the Lions did wrong I am going to discuss what the Stampeders did right. I think from the start of the game they were dialed in mentally and really worked off the underdog nothing to lose attitude. They were on a 5 game winning streak and had the confidence from that along ...

Re: 2012 WDF Attendance

Here is an example where the affordability of a Lions game gets out of hand for most. Suppose you want to take a family of 4 to regular season game. And you want to show your kids some good seats so you sit between the 20 yard lines, top deck. You're looking at $85 per seat Factor in the $8 stadium ...

Re: Leos/Stamps WDF Keys to the Game

Nick Moore is dressing ahead of Ernest and Courtney and while I would have given the start to E.Jackson I have no problem with Moore. He was excellent in the Montreal home game - all props no drops - and he could def be a difference maker in this one. Another Lion who could be key in the WF is Mike ...

Re: Leos/Stamps WDF Keys to the Game

4. PRESSURE KILLS Big games are not won by the timid and the ultra-conservative. In a tight game, its the courageous and the aggressor who usually wins. Agree agree! This is why I think the Stamps chances took a major hit when Tate went down. Drew has that walking on the edge mentality and the conf...

Re: 2012 WDF Attendance

...it should ring alarm bells if this is all the team can do (30k reg season, low 40s for WDFs) when it has everything else going for it. What makes the WDF a poor indicator of fan interest is the out of whack pricing structure. There are only so many people willing to attend an event relevant to t...

Re: new uniforms in 2012?

To answer Steve's question - Reebok and the CFL signed a 5 year deal in 2008 so if you assume that included the 2008 season there is one year left on the deal - the upcoming 2012 season. Who knows if the CFL is going to stay with Reebok or go with Nike after that. But I am sure that Reebok would lik...
