From John Hodges insider quotes "Our TV deal is so under market relative to the ratings. Combine that with new gambling initiatives and the league will be more than fine." Quite the discrepancy between that line of thinking and reports that an XFL merger is close to a done deal (with rule...

Wow Cro ! bang-on with that long post. Outstanding ! Ambrosie needs to go. And MLSE needs a tune-up or else pull their Argo franchise. I just wish some other CFL fans who would not check in here would get to read your take/perspective on this topic. Wayyyy too much $ucking-up to the idea of selling ...

So tough to nail down just 5

This is a tough one as I always liked Rutley. I appreciated his tough, bruising running style and ability to run back kicks just like Monroe Eley did for us years ago. I think we're fairly set at the RB position. We have Shaq Cooper and young Reggie Corbin from Illinois whose tape looks impressive ...

grunching... good discussion. i don't think there's any way that Hubbard or Holland ever step foot in the CFL...... i am generally in favor though of drafting marginal NFL prospects. did Rysen John stick with the Giants? i think he did, but not sure. if we go heavy on canadians on defense, and we h...

Be interestin' to see if Foucault ends up starting for the Als? They did lose starting OG Trey Rutherford to retirement recently; but there should be good competition with former starter Phil Gagnon brought back, plus former Laval all-star huge OG Sam Thomassin who they drafted. Moo-cha-cha really l...

I have three problems with "Total career tackles". Length of career can skew the numbers as can tackles from the chase position, especially from the MLB position. And if your offense is poor or does a lot of 2 and out, then your D gets on the field more, helping a LB build tackle stats. I...

Mildly worried about our depth now with both Foucault and Boyko gone (say what you about their contracts relative to their play, but that's quite a lot of experience we're losing). I imagine the starting 5 L-R will be: J-Fig, Steward, Godber, Chungh, and Mathews. We still have Knevel who can play g...

Didn't quite register on the Richter Scale like SolE. But on the bright side as a firefighter he stands to get a nice raise over being a backup CFL LB/ special teamer. What's firefighter wage out there nowdays? 80K annual range ? Vs. CFL minimum wage (? - 50K range? ) - for 6 months work basically....

Summit Series 72 - game 8 (and game one shocker ! - though not a great game for Canada - most shocking sport event i ever witnessed)

New Year's Eve - Habs vs. Red Army (Habs out-shot them by a wide margin, but the Ruskies almost won the game late)

Backup linebacker and special teamer Mitch Barnett, who didn't re-sign with the Lions, has officially retired to become a firefighter. LINEBACKER MITCH BARNETT ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT Didn't quite register on the Richter Scale like SolE. But on the bright side as a firefighter he stands to get a nice ...

Campbell (& Desjardins) brought in and handed playing time to, a whole slew of young import D-linemen the past couple of seasons in Ottawa; not many panned out good to even decent IMO - Tavai was amongst the best of them, but he is a DE. Different scouts though. We have Ryan Rigmaiden and his l...

Team are going to run 150yds a game on us, given the NTs that are left. I think you're assuming that there are zero US FA recruits at the interior of the line which I don't believe is the case. I am hearing the club is high on a couple of DTs (Kamalu, Neal) with NFL experience. Would I feel better ...

this is complete thinking out loud, but Seahawks (and Jets before that) did incredibly well blitzing Jamal Adams from safety spot (not sure if JA is strong or free safety. I'd think strong safety). I would think many more teams will look to do this, although I know that JA is a unique talent. wonde...

I wonder what the deal is with Taylor Loffler. Heplays his poisition with a very tough edge. Why hasnt the Leos brought this home town guy back does he have a chronic injury or what is it?

Injury concerns for sure; missed a lot of last season; chronic bad knees perhaps ?
