It is. Our Mayor loves culture & art. Hates pro sports. Nenshi is a tool. The only time he shows up at sporting events is if he can wear his Stetson & be the centre of attention. Frigging media *****. He doesn't know the difference between a hockey puck & a golf ball.

The new arena wasn't part of the Olympic proposal & budget. A refurbed Saddledome was. There were very few new facilities proposed. They were willing to share downhill skiing with Whisler even though taxpayers in Calgary would have to pay for new facilities there. The bid died because Calgarians wanted a new arena, they were shocked that 4 billion dollars built no new facilities & there was no way in Hell we'd be willing to fund facilities in Whisler & not Alberta. It was a cheap bid. Also, the feds were not going to cover any cost overruns. It would be Calgary taxpayers responsibility. So, the bid proposal was massively defeated.

We built it. We paid that much. More people will attend games at a new football stadium than ever go to a new library downtown. But our mayor is a typical politician vowing to never spend a penny to support a professional team but will commit billions to a build to a new library. BTW, the City isn't funding a new arena for the Flames. They are funding an "Event Centre" that will host rock, pop & country concerts. The politicians are loathe to call it an arena & the new home of the Flames.

I agree but it is what it is. Our Mayor would rather spend $1.5 billion on a new library then $300 million on a new stadium.

We know it, living here in Calgary. The fans here hate the place. Civic politicians refuse to help fund a new stadium. Flames & the City were in negotiations for something like 3 years before they agreed to a new arena on the Stampede Grounds a block away from the Saddledome. The ill fated Calgary Next proposal was introduced in August of 2016.

Stamps D confused with the Ti Cats passing attack. BLM looks like crap. Looks like a decent crowd.

Well, the way Braley is going at it, he'll want $20 million for that sad sack franchise that he ground to dust. Now Ambrosie is involved, the all talk & no action Commissioner. If its anything like the Montreal ownership situation both teams will still be for sale this time next year with Ambrosie claiming he has to do his due diligence but he's confident the teams will be sold within the next week.

Suitor... It was Bryan Burnham's turn for his Man love. He never even got to 100 yards receiving. Our commentators are Mickey Mouse.

really.

No, I'm a fan stating an opinion. I'm not a shill for the CFL. Therefore, you go work for them & tell us how great the Lions are.

Dickenson loves BLM. There's no way he'd be willing to trade him.

That makes more sense.

Wow, they beat the freaking RedBlacks. A team that actually plays with no qbs. No mood to feel content? Continue to build on their improvements? What a joke.

Bring in some free agents. They don't have to be CFL players. They can't just sit & do nothing. Well, actually they do. Desjardins screwed up. The guys he has now can't win. They're dreadful.

really.

The owners like the French version of the name... Rouge et Noir. Yeah, I know.

What about Tom Brady?

He was "past time" three years ago.

Down 28-3 & 13:00 left in 4th qtr. Jennings playing terribly & Campbell won't make a qb change because Davis will probably play worse. Ottawa has no hope with those 2.

And Desjardins just sits on his fat ass doing nothing.

Hard to believe that Ottawa is now the worst team in the CFL. They need to bring in a bunch of new qbs. What's the point of standing pat with the two crap qbs they have now? Both Jennings & Davis can't win games.

Nobody cares about these teams. Even their fan(s).

Nothing at qb thanks to Marcel Desjardins who has now come full circle as a GM. He ground the Ti Cats to dust during his time as GM & now he did the same in Ottawa thinking he could win with Jennings & Davis by being cheap.
