Eternal optimist

Since we're all gushing over Strevs anyways, just thought I'd mention he is one of the only QBs I've ever seen that goes out of his way to make blocks for his teammates. Other QBs do it in critical situations (such as on a WR double reverse) but he's just straight out there looking to hit someone. Best example I can think of was in the Grey Cup at 4:05 of the shortened highlights, seals off #94 perfectly. https://www.cfl.ca/2019/11/24/gc107-recap-winnipeg-33-hamilton-12/

Just stopping in to say I too was one of the doubters. Mr. Collaros, you sir will always be remembered fondly for that magical 2019 Grey Cup run, helped push us over the top at just the right time. Also, yes, I love this idea and can't wait to see Fajardo throw that post pattern.

Hey a Trudeau's facade of caring about the average Canadian taxpayer is better than no facade at all... right?

I get where you're coming from, but personally I've always had peace with the thought that the league just wouldn't be the same without the Argos...

"Annnnd it's a foot race!... " when it's not actually a foot race and the guy gets tackled at midfield.

How on earth does a man that was unable to run a successful CASINO get elected? Y'know, the place people that don't understand probability and basic math go to just watch their money disappear among smoke and flashing lights?!??!

Well, the bright side of cancelling the season is... At least I'm not in Saskatchewan. Man that place blows.

Not sure if this was posted elsewhere, William Stanback, former Als RB returns to NFL camp tryouts after tragically losing both of his parents in the span of 10 days. https://www.cfl.ca/2020/08/12/cfl-als-sending-best-wishes-former-rb-william-stanback/ My sincerest condolences, that is very tough to go through in these trying times.

I was alluding to the government relinquishing its' funds, actually.

As is typical of governments in power, Trudeau will use CFL as leverage and only let the funds flow starting in 2023, just in time for the next federal election...

So much this. My mother-in-law wasn't taking COVID seriously then I explained to her that if I unknowingly contracted it, I would probably be fine, however if I then passed it on to my 2-year old daughter, and she were to become critically ill, she would end up in the hospital. She wouldn't understand. She would die. Alone. Alone and scared. How anyone can justify anything less than utmost precaution is beyond me.

We don't have to fear COVID-19. We have to respect it, which requires adequate levels of safety measures... just saying a threat doesn't exist doesn't magically make that threat go away.

That's okay, it's not like the CFL season during the summer is one of my single, most favorite events that helps me get through even the harshest of January freezing temperatures...

They've got nothing on Lewis and Clarke though

I have so many questions on this response.... 1. When did we start Harris at LB in this scenario? 2. Is it still a check down if the pass from Nichols is intercepted by a former teammate? 3. Who are you paying in this scenario? The Argos, Nichols (bribing), the Bombers? Me?

I get your point, but this is a slippery slope to declare you'd do anything for millions of dollars.

Man, I miss the days when our biggest problem in the world was Matt Nichols not throwing for 300 yards.

Who did not see this coming? The people that are going to have such an appetite for risk to travel recklessly are the same people not to where a mask anywhere, ergo they have a higher infection rates due to their behavior. Talk about short-term thinking for long-term pain.

Obligatory angry comment about hockey injury!

We are undefeated when Keith Urban calls games, just sayin'.

Without thousands of fans paying premium prices and the concession sales, the entire business model simply falls apart. There's a reason they don't let in outside food at the games. It's their bread & butter.

Obviously we just need Margaret Trudeau to take snaps as a Running Back and we'll be golden.

One might call it a Guinness World Threcord. I'll show myself out...

I think the league is taking a bit of a wait-and-see approach, seeing how the MLB, NBA and NHL bubble plans work out, then taking the best from their tactics before actually setting anything in stone. That or they're incompetent... maybe a bit of column A.... bit of column B...

What I find particularly intriguing about a shortened season is the increased chance of a team going undefeated and Grey Cup champs. As mentioned, there would be a giant * beside it, but it'd still be kind of cool.
