Round1: Game 4 @Colorado
Leadership is an issue with this team. On the ice & in the dressing room. We don't have it. The other team that's a mess are the Leafs. Arguing on the bench. Lol.

Round1: Game 4 @Colorado
Why is he an excuse? The guy is a good assistant coach. I think he deserves a chance, I think Bowness is done. His wife isn't well. Clearly, he's run out of steam as a coach. I'm thre same age as he is. Who needs that **** at our age?

Bowness is 69. He'll go & Arniel's the new Head Coach.

There've been some pretty good free agents available the past 2 years but Walters won't pay. Thinks there are priorities elsewhere. I never understood that line of thinking. I'd give up one all star receiver for one all star nose tackle.

Round1: Game 4 @Colorado
I could watch this game but have chosen not to. Glad I'm not judging by the angry posts here. We lost this series all the way back when fans in Winnipeg were chanting, "Pull the goalie" in game 1. Just arrogance thinking we had the series in the bag & the first game wasn't even finished yet. I think it fired up the Avs.

CFL PA What to negotiate for next?
I think in 10 to 15 years the CFL will be no more. There appears to be no growth possibilities. Especially with the Commissioner we have now. When it's 2024 & he biggest growth was the merger of the WIFU & IRFU to form the 9 team CFL in 1958 then things don't look great. Every other pro league have grown exponentially since. We may be the last generation of fans who care.

Then why would the Kraken put their games on Amazon? same with the NHL for Monday Night Hockey?

So, to Mark Hofer & JCon, dumb question, why isn't the CFL bringing in more revenues from streaming?

So then, what's stopping the CFL from even trying?

Hope so.

CFL PA What to negotiate for next?
Help me out here, the Seattle Kraken are going to streaming their games next season. First NHL team to do that. Why can't the CFL try to get on a sports streaming network like DAZN or Amazon?? I assume if they did, people all over the world could watch CFL games if they subscribe. Why can't they stream internationally while having games on TSN in Canada? Just asking as I don't know how this works. If it's TSN who are the rightsholder, then **** them. maybe the CFL has to negotiate two tv deals. One for TSN & the other for international streaming. To me, that's where any future revenue growth would be.

The TV Thread
The writer's & actors strikes really screwed some great shows. Like Blue Bloods, Yellowstone & now OC. Granted with Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone, Kevin Costner acted liked a diva. Now, the actor who played Rip (Cole Hauser) in the series dropped his lawsuit he had filed against Sheridan this past week. Not over money or acting contracts. But coffee. Hauser & Sheridan own competing coffee companies & it had to do with who would supply the actors & production company with coffee. How crazy is that?

The TV Thread
Well, ain't tht a kick in the head! That absolutely freaking sucks. OC's the best series of the Law & Order genres. And down to 10 episodes from 22.

I just hope NBC renews Law & Order; Organized Crime. NCIS Hawaii? Go woke & go broke. I can do without the lesbian love affair on a police procedural.

CFL PA What to negotiate for next?
When Big Blue started talking about giving players expansion money, I just shook my head. There is NO expansion money!! Maybe putting a team in Halifax might give the CFL a slightly bigger tv deal but I wouldn't be surprised if a 10th team made no difference. There's a chance that the next deal with TSN may not be worth as much.

Next merch purchase

Looks like Provincial Hwy 396 in the middle of a cold, snowy January night from Ponton to Thompson. Travelled that road many, many times.

Surprised Bandy retired. He only got the stating center gig when the greatest football player in the world retired after the 2022 season.

Sometimes you just overthink. Like here with this. For example, why would teams dress extra Canadians just for home games? They'd never play so why even pay them??? We dress 45 players now so dressing more makes no sense. Expansion money? For what new team, exactly? Where would you expand? Halifax? C'mon, if that city wanted a team there'd have beeen a team there with a proper stadium yeras ago. Quebec City or London, Ontario? Remains to be seen. poersonally, I doubt it. And how much will an expansion team fetch? Five to ten million? What's that divided over 9 teams? That's $555,000 to $1.1 million per team. Hey, nice little one time windfall but it'll just be swallowed up in losses by 8 of the 9 teams now. If we're expanding to create extra money then that's laughable as it'll make little difference financially in the long run. You seem to have this penchant for trying to start these super serious discussions. Like we'll suddenly solve the league's problems at once. The CFL is what it is. Just enjoy it.

So he'll never get into the CFHOF. Lemon will be 65 & crying to get in & it won't help as no one will care. His choice to be stupid & ruin his chances.

The Winnipeg Thread
Winnipeg made it onto the Pat McAfee Show today. He didn't know where the city was but couldn't get over how crazy the Jets fans were.
