2021 (??) CFL Season
They could at least let us know under what conditions they're going to start camp in a month. If they need fans in the stands, then they can clearly postpone until September or probably just cancel the season. If they can get by with no or very few fans, then May should be a go. Are they waiting the CFLPA to approve the new salary structure? The gov'ts have approved a variety of return to play scenarios that have similar requirements as the CFL. That should not be an issue, unless their plan is flawed.

Random News Items
I was reading an article, which I'm going to go look for again, that discussed how the failures of developing an HIV vaccine accelerated the success of the Covid vaccines. Everything they learned trying new and different techniques have given researchers many new tools in their fight against other viruses. Investment in science does not always have the immediate and obvious desired outcomes but we learn a lot from our failures.

They won't suddenly get better. Torts is a terrible coach but those two are not getting much better.

2021 CFL Entry Draft
I haven't seen him in the top half of the draft or top 5 RB all year. Maybe, his pro day will help.

There has been no information on the start of the season. The players are reporting in month or not or ??? We don't know. We don't even know under what conditions they need to get it going.

TSN has a financial incentive for the CFL and XFL to merge. You can bet they'll continue to push the narrative that nothing can work.

Game 38 : Toronto
You can see the Stanley Cup in downtown Toronto, at the Hall of Fame. It's a neat relic from the olden days.

Toronto media has been on overdrive today trying to figure out how the Laffs match up against the other divisions now that they've eliminated the Jets and won the North.

CFL/XFL Exploring Alignment
One thing that a merger (or whatever it is) will do, will be to introduce alternate media coverage. I think TSN has been a good partner for the CFL; however, I do not think the exclusive relationship has produced the best possible situation. The competition in the US, over the NFL, has created better and better broadcasts and coverage. I don't think we've benefitted from that up here without competition. I think TSN could use some competition!

CFL/XFL Exploring Alignment
Both sides need to agree. It's an easy one for the CFL to give up, when they don't have more money to spend. Give the players these concessions and save money on the bottom line.

CFL/XFL Exploring Alignment
We just can't match the money that they can make down south. I wish we could find a way to allow them opportunities and still give them multi-year deals. But, I can't blame the players for wanting these deals. All deals are effectively one-year deals to the teams, anyhow. The players need some leverage.

US Politics
Gee, you're part of a group of whiny man-babies, who promote a "masculine" culture of violence, misogyny and racism. Fox, a wing of the GOP, is a breading ground and a beacon for sexual predators.
