i pondered quite awhile as to whether to include the "white spot/dal richards/CKNW/Bow-Mac/UBC/etc." vancouver family......... i am concerned that's some sort of deplorable code for "white family". having said that, it would be hard to analyze BC Lions demographics/marketing/atte...

as per rich MLB and spending 7 months away from family, i was thinking they don't have to do it. so a very top player will make $250MM from his career, not $350MM. it shouldn't matter. but i'm not sure that's how people think

CFL contracts don't seem very long in general............ naive question but does everyone's contract shorten by a year? or is like 2020 never happened? for players who don't opt out...... i think reilly was 3 year contract. fulfilled two of the years and i think passed some deadline to partially gu...

hi, i have been posting here for up to 2 years i think....... both of reilly's seasons...... i am mid-50's.. i grew up in vancouver, and now live here again...... i have from fairly old vancouver families on both sides. i only say this because this seems to be on of the really core demographics of B...

bubble = no home field advantage. does anyone remember how loud BC Place was in 1982/1983 during the playoffs?. my ears hurt during the game. i remember hufnagel (and zorn?) at QB for winnipeg. couldn't get the snap counts coordinated at all.......... is seattle that loud? i'd need data that it's lo...

good discussions, thanks :) as per "working away from family for many months being common", that is almost always voluntary. and usually the motivation is make much more money than you could locally (oil workers, whether oil sands or foreign. i know a guy who works half the year in indones...

honestly, is there going to be a 2021 season?........ big money sports will have 2021 seasons but will they look that different from now. AND will players want to bubble for 7 months? seems unlikely

i think we are minimum 3 years from 95% normalcy.... but 2 years away from 85% normalcy

i have said this a few times. but i think the CFL should change things up some and the federal government should be a major sponsor going forward beyond covid. nothing different than the CBC or the national ballet. and for the money, CFL benefit/dollar would be astronomically higher than the CBC. cu...

as to restrictions, i think TSN's all-time teams for the canadian nhl franchises had a few restrictions 1) minimum one current player 2) needed to be one defensive forward line and shutdown defensive pairing... couldn't be all scorers. 3) not sure about this one.. but i think defensemen had to be ri...

a few thoughts, i only see 6 national starters....... was there a condition that there be canadian starters? of course, having interior OL import starters might be hard as there have been very few. the d-line is basically 4 defensive ends i think.......... canadian football is smaller so maybe that'...

was it only a $30MM interest free loan that held this back? govt should have granted it...... how much has it dumped into the CBC over the last 50 years? or even in the last year? i vaguely read that there were problems with some teams privately owned and others community... i wonder if this and man...

it blows me away the negative reaction to the Big 10 cancelling football season........... are any conferences going ahead with non-football sports? i believe the answer is "no". so this is largely about revenue, not doing the right thing for the players (you can argue nfl-bound players ne...

ironic that the community-owned teams might have been the weak link in the COVID-season chain. not sure i completely believe other than the suggestion that technically their finances become a huge problem. i'm thinking 2 or 3 of the privately owned teams might have been major issues too. if there ar...

i'm wondering if all these questions about CFL contracts and cancelled season are just a gigantic abyss... i.e. no one knows the answers right now

yes.......... inevitable... CFL never seemed to have much reasonable hope for this season taking place in any form. a bit disappointed in the government.......... i understand being against government handouts, but they certainly give out many of those to other organizations. i do think the CFL shou...
