Would be up to the conference. Just hope in that scenario they get Regina or Sask and not UBC as the visiting team.

Biggest issue with it is amateur football right up to CIS has to work around it and lots of CFL facilities are shared. What happens when the Bisons and Bombers have to host playoff games the same weekend? Access to IGF is almost nil for amateur football below the Bisons now with the addition of the soccer team.

I’m sure the league will rule on the side of forcing the only functional Canadian QB in our lifetimes to go and make more money in the NFL, XFL or USFL.

You’re arguing about contract terms for weeks but lack a fundamental understanding of what an option is. An option doesn’t obligate the team to do anything. The contract terms only hold if the team chooses to pick up the option. If they don’t the third year of the contract doesn’t exist. So yeah, BC could be jerks to Rourke and pick up the option to force him to play for cheap next year if he doesn’t make the NFL. But how do you think that would play out for them in the long-term?

Gotta say about the Bomber gear out now...and maybe CFL overall not sure since I only look at Bomber stuff....is extremely low quality. Used to get polos with stitched logos now its just vinyl press on crap and the price is 1.5x or double. A polo is $90.

They will literally have the contract signed ready to file the same time they file to decline the option.

That's a completely different situation though. Regardless of whether a player was signing as a draft pick or a free agent they had capped the salaries of the Global players. There's no cap on Rourke's salary moving forward since he's played out the 2 years of the rookie deal.

You don't understand what the option is. It's a team option. Yes they can pick it up for the terms of the option year. The other option is to decline the next year of the contract which makes the player a free agent. Teams decline options all the time and rip up contracts to lock guys up for longer term.

If a player has their option declined they are a free agent in February. And why can’t they decline the option and sign the player to an extension?

Collaros too. When the Ticats traded for his rights to beat free agency he was clearly on the way up and ready to start. Had just led Toronto for half the season while Ricky Ray was out. Burris and Collaros both led the Ticats to Grey Cup appearances. I don't believe BLM would be an upgrade on Evans.

Players can still be dealt after the deadline they just aren’t eligible to play in playoffs.

Well he’s going into an option year so they can decline it and rip up the current deal. His first two years yes were locked in…but a team can always release a player to sign a new deal anyway.

Rule 179 Section 3 Part D The player being unconscious before he hits the turf nullifies any fumble. Gonna be hard to bind this rulebook from all the made up ****. League clearly wanted a BC win tonight. They’ll want an Argo win next week so MLSE can finally celebrate winning a “Cup.”

And they have a shitty coach. That team was hardly ready to play. Can’t even run no huddle

That last drive was unbelievable. At a certain point around 1 min forget trying to get everyone the call and just go sandlot

Top story on TSN right now as two winning teams start prepping for a Grey Cup game in a third city is about Rourke “wanting to be a Lion” next season. That’s a December story. Who the **** cares? This league should respect the teams and players that are in the game next week.

Honestly based on that stupid rule just get rid of the nuance and say you can’t touch the punter at all below the waist. Essentially can’t block a punt now just tell teams to set up their returns. The medication will help Collaros immensely next Sunday.

For sure. McCrae is a nice guy to have on the roster but unless there's a rash of injuries he'd spend this game standing on the sidelines. They've shown that they won't pull off a starting receiver for him or anyone else this season. He might get on the roster anyway if Bailey can't go. I might have kept Walker on over Clements. I'd bet we'll have Briggs/Gauthier on the field almost every down anyway.

Butler doesn't really scare me with their interior OL. Suspect they might run some funky stuff with Pipkin if the pass game starts out cold.

Crave is just an arm of Bell like CTV and TSN. Streaming instead of sports channels will be death for a lot of sports...basically all of them short of the NFL. Even the NFL is just dipping its toes in that pool. 100% of their games are still available OTA in local markets. Eg if Minnesota and Tampa are playing on TNF or MNF one of the local CBS/ABC affiliates carries the game over the air. The whole point of those sports channels is that people/commercial places just leave them on the in the background. There's significant value for advertisers there. Streaming you'll need people to seek the programming. The streaming sites aren't really great at marketing live events. Unless they come heavy with rights fees the value of advertising for sports leagues will be so poor that it won't be worth it yet.

Remembrance Day was a Tuesday that year. ESF was played on the 11th in 07.

Holm or Lawrence will be active and Kramdi is out. Too bad they are taking Walker out. I think he’s a guy we need vs pass and run in playoffs. If the DL keeps Rourke moving the secondary won’t be primary.

The special teams coach is almost always the guy who gives options, monitors clock too just in case head coach distracted by other things like penalties etc.

McCrae will likely have less reps though. If we have all the receivers back he’ll only be returning kickoffs which we won’t have much of. I’d rather have the full DL rotation for a game where pass rush could likely be a deciding factor.

I think we'll have a normal number of DB's but will keep Adams on along with Walker and Sayles. A little worried they'll keep McCrae on over a defensive player but they usually beef up the DL for playoffs.
