Well, it'd inspire some confidence in us and make the CFL look not only like it cares but that it can be trusted, IMO. This league has basically sat on its hands for nearly a year now, save for a single ham-fisted attempt to get federal gov't assistance that ultimately failed. Nobody was surprised 2020 didn't happen but we're into mid-February 2021 and little information or progress on a 2021 season has been given. The CFL operates with too much secrecy. That's not a sound way to get support from the public.

So... I can book time off for games from work, plan my life to the best of my ability to attend as many games as possible as a season ticket holder? As a parent, I need to lineup a babysitter, as an employee, I need to make sure I have time off for the games. Even though the schedule is already out, if, for example, they plan on having any additional protocols that add time to the game, it'd be nice to know that in advance. Also, longer term it'd help build trust between the league and fans... although the 2020 cancelling was expected, if they don't keep fans informed and pull the rug out from them again, they only risk further alienating their fan base.

That they are actually committed to playing the season, and that means having some kind of concrete plan if they can't put asses in the seats. This whole hoping for the best strategy of theirs failed last year, why try it again? The CFL was having trouble getting fans out as it is, it won't get easier if they go 2 seasons without games.

First chance? Excuse me but we have already lost one CFL season. This is hardly the first chance.

I'm not sure if the addition of a defenseman is going to help what ails this team. I also have to wonder what the Jets would have to give up to get a worthwhile piece within the confines of their cap. Who's even out there worth a look right now? To me, it looks more like a system issue and some questionable deployment of personnel. The blue line pairings seem to rarely work. Their positional play in their own end is atrocious at times. Their puck movement out of their zone is inconsistent as hell. And when the forward lines decide to take a shift off and not bother defending, it exacerbates all the aforementioned issues.

So correct me if I'm wrong... the Winnipeg Goldeyes which are part of a very minor league have a COVID plan and a plan to play this season. The CFL after a full year still have zero plan despite having far less logistics to deal with (crossing the border) and a major TV partner. I don't understand why they don't have best case worst case scenario. Wouldn't it help in certain areas if they need to get some sort of help/funding if they have a plan in place for playing in a bubble. It just seems so weird that they have said jack squat.

Which is kind of ****** up... you'd think that an impeachment would have a higher standard of... regulations than regular state criminal court... But, as we saw with co-conspirators being members of the jury and the jury openly coordinating with the defense... well what ever... I wash my hands of this.

Also, everything revolves around Arbuckle and whatever thrown together OL you've surrounded him with. If that doesn't work, you're still sunk.

No sense being terrified as you can only control what you & your wife do. Life is much too short to be afraid. Just live your life on your own terms.

The post LDC start up makes a lot of sense depending on how vaccinations go and how effective they are against the variants.

I would watch 1000 losing Reinbold seasons before I watched a repeat of that shameful Burke turtle game.

Forward to the 47 minute mark. "The Grey Cup, 3.5 million dollar profit and the place the players want to go." The Bombers have successfully convinced the Riders biggest homer of all time who the real top dogs are. Pedersen can expect his inbox to be filled with messages riddled with grammatical errors from the hillbillies. The jacked up trucks and combines are driving to the studio as we speak.

Sen. Lindsey Graham Brushes Off Trump's Election Lies: 'I'm Into Winning' Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday acknowledged that former President Donald Trump spread lies about the election and could have “done more” to stop the deadly insurrectionist attack on the U.S. Capitol last month. Nonetheless, the GOP senator said he will stick by Trump’s side because he likes “winning.” Asked during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday” whether Trump bears any responsibility for the Capitol riot, Graham said “no in terms of the law.” “He bears responsibility of pushing narratives about the election that I think are not sound and not true,” said Graham, who helped peddle Trump’s baseless claims of widespread election fraud and urged him not to concede the race days after President Joe Biden declared victory. “I don’t think that he caused the riot,” Graham added. He conceded, however, that Trump’s behavior after the election was “over the top.” Either way, Graham added, Republicans can’t win back the House in 2022 without Trump, who lost the popular vote to Biden by more than 7 million votes. “To the Republican Party, if you want to win and stop the socialist agenda, we need to work with President Trump,” Graham told Fox News. “We can’t do it without him. ... I’m into winning. And if you want to get something off your chest, fine. But I’m into winning.”

Blanche is a two faced liar that no one should ever pay attention too, he is a disgrace, Cruz may be the most hated Republican Senator in his own party, but Graham is very close behind, as for Trump why would they want him to lead the party, he lost the House, was defeated in the Presidential race, and lost the Senate, he is a loser, everything he has ever done has failed, Democrats should hope that he goes the 3rd party way cause that helps them in '22 and the next general election.

Oh man LGraham has gone full MAGA.

That is one of my big problems with Ambrosie. He should keep fans & media apprised on a regular basis instead of ghosting us. He never comes out when news is bad. Only when news is good. He also knows about the 3DN story of no season (how could he not?) & hasn't come out to say it's wrong. That alone is very concerning. He hasn't talked about possible contingency plans which is crazy. Is it possible there aren't any even after losing a complete season? if so, how can that be?? Ambrosie just doesn't have the instincts to know what the right thing is to do. As in, when to put out little brushfires before they become big ones. He's become a very polarizing figure. Fans either like him or hate him which isn't good for the CFL trying to stay relevant with its now obviously shrinking fanbase. See my comments about that very thing.

With the Esks anonymous source yapping to 3DN this week, I'd love to see Ambrosie come out with a presser this week calling the whole thing bullshit and giving us an actual reason to have faith.

We need to hear soon, "Jets acquire Defenseman . . ."

Why exactly do fans need to know now?

They don't even need a best case scenario plan, just a worst case. Plan for the worst and hope for the best.

God bless you. That movie is criminally underrated these days.

Yeah... I think Winston Churchill's famous quote rings very true here: He who fails to plan, is planning to fail.

Jets were awful defensively all day,deserved to lose. If we were playing a good team would not of been close. This team's positional play is scary to watch...

Well we know Republicans put party over country but this will backfire on them long term I think. Onto the criminal trials for Trump. His lawyers won't be able to pull the same **** they did here.

Do what you're doing now. Looks like so far so good on your part. Social distance. wear a mask & wash your hands often. I drive a school bus so I know how you feel. I have a face shield, wear a triple layered surgical mask & always carry hand sanitizer in my car, pocket & work bag on the bus. I haven't worn any of these so called cool masks with team or company logos on them, I'd rather feel more safe in a surgical mask than cool in a single layer mask. All we can do.

**** ya those jerseys are hideous.

Holy cow are you guys ready to jump on Ambrosie at the first chance with no solid backing evidence. First, this is a 3DownNation post, and from everything I have read (and everything I have heard from the vast majority of posters here) their credibility is as solid as Qanon lately. Second, this “anonymous source” isn’t quoting anything official or citing an executive position and is basically stating a personal opinion of what they and they themselves think might be feasible. Their supposed cred comes from being “familiar” with the executive level of the league, whatever that means. That list could include any host of journalists who know who the league executives are but has no say in actual league operations. Third, that opinion seems based solely on the state of the Edmonton no-names, as regurgitated to an Edmonton reporter. Since they don’t have a full coaching staff, this source claims that, rather than being behind the 8-ball when all the other 8 franchises are operating as if the season is a go, in fact Edmonton is the “canary in the coal mine” who are not replacing staff because only they see the danger of no season and are cost cutting. As if their lack of staff has everything to do with this hidden agenda to not play, as opposed to Scott Milanovich bailing on his contract when the NFL came a-calling. It is trying to paint the “whatever name the fans vote for, it will be stupid”’s as ahead of the curve rather than behind it, and creates a false narrative of their disorganization as indicative of some inside knowledge over the league shutting down. Fourth, the opinion is not that the league will not proceed, but that in their mind it would be better to wait another year to guarantee full stadiums, a completely new CFLPA contract, and everybody vaccinated. Nothing in that sentiment is wrong. Having all that in place would allow much more stability than the band-aid plan that might come to pass (and which is how every other league is operating right now, before anyone jumps on this as a sign of CFL weakness - all leagues are drowning right now, the CFL just doesn’t have the deep pockets the big 4 do). What the report fails to touch on is what the harm in not playing would be. The article seems to suggest that the fans would be upset but other than that there would be no downside, when the reality is that shuttering another year would do economic harm beyond hurt fan feelings. So this article has a heavy bias towards “not playing is better” and spins it into “may not be feasible this year”, and the crowd here then spins it into “now the league is back-tracking” based on nothing other than a pre-determined dislike of Ambrosie, like it’s completely his fault a bat spread a virus in China. So the season may go, it may not, but this article offers zero evidence either way. And Ambrosie is not blameless for many things in the CFL, but let’s not manufacture outrage based on purely speculative opinion pieces with no credible intel.

We should have got a point out of it. But you know Ottawa was due for a break. They got it today. I blame it on those aviator Jerseys.

I want us to catch & surpass Edmonton for 2nd place in all time Grey Cup wins. I think we're two behind to tie. That will make the Melon Head Rider fans heads explode. Maybe he was.

I think it’s more than this. It’s all rotten to the core the whole lot, Republican, Democrat whatever. This insurrection on the US Capitol Hill exposed this rotten in more detail but that’s it. Business as usual for all involved nothing to see here let me get back to my twitter feed to tell you how angry I am but fold like a cheap tent if anything runs counter to my self serving interests. To quote @JCon, Pathetic.

Manitoba TP 5% (up 0.2). Winnipeg TP 3.8% (down 0.2).

Pencer was going to be the next best thing. Elite level headcase. Wasn't his uncle a Hell's Angel?

Their 2012 draft picks are equally awful if not for their last pick and longest serving Bomber fatboi Thomas Tyson Pencer, Johnny Aprille, Christo Bilukidi, Rene Stephan

Even worse than that, he took Rory Kohlert in the final round of the draft (a pending free agent with a handshake deal to return to Winnipeg) then went infront of the press and explained there was no-one else worth picking and he wouldn't have selected anyone from the Blue if he didn't have to. So he insulted us and Rory by saying he'd rather have had nothing at all than a chance to negotiate with a reliable N receiver. 2013 was my Nam. I have PTSD flashbacks every time I see someone straighten their tie

Gawd, I hope someone doesn't start a "Where's Andy Mulamba" thread again.

I don't want to think about that.

^NSFW

Absolutely.

Remember debating which was worse Reinbold in 97 or 98 or 2013 with Burke? Glad we are past those days.

So many absolute gong shows. The horrible '05 defense, after Rod Rust left the DC position (shudder). The irony - that was actually one of KG5's better years, and Milt was still Milt.

Bullshit. Get it done. "Take the year to plan for 2022 and get it right so you can have a focused format for years to come" Why not just make it an even 2025 then? They've had plenty of time to plan. That's what the last 10 months have been for

Fogg got torched. He made the occasional big play and made some good returns but on a full-time basis? no way.

Toronto Argonauts crowds have be practicing social distancing for years on end so they should have no problems when the season starts

this is one of the reason why the league need to publicize the salaries.

Toronto Arrogant-nauts

Should get, "Winnipeg is the CFLs Flagship Franchise Team - Rod Peterson" T-shirts for Labour Day lol

Check hell. It might be frozen over.
