Are the players willing to help cover losses? Stadium debt? Isn't that what a partner does?

Like the positive relationship that seems to be developing. Would love it if Goodrich eventually becomes our version of Andrew Harris.

Exactly how high are the ticket prices in Ottawa and Hamilton going to be. THE CFLPA seems to think that their new barns means they will earn revenues similar to Winnipeg but ours holds 33500 and theirs are around 24000 I believe. That means ours holds 40% more fans, so are they going to have ticket prices 40% higher?

I want the Spider-Man shirt. I'm going to hold my breath until one of you buys me one.

Actually the biggest thing I agree with is increasing the salary for the grunts. I think $50,000 going to $55,000 is a good offer. If it went from $45,000-$55,000 to an eventual $60,000 over the life of the deal that would be fine too. In terms of teams making money, Winnipeg did but we have a huge stadium debt, Riders did and they have stadium debt too or will shortly. Toronto never seems to make $. Hamilton usually loses $ and they'll owe $ too with their stadium. Calgary made money but needs a new barn. It's not the 1990s but I'd say we're not out of danger yet.

I thought the CFL's latest proposol was fair, upping the minimum to $50,000, increases to the overall SMS levels. The thing is how many teams make money: Winnipeg, Edmonton, Saskatchewan, BC, Calgary? Toronto and Hamilton don't and pretty sure the Als don't. Players need to make sure they don't kill the golden goose.

5 million might work but given that Winnipeg and Saskatchewan, two clubs that actually make $ have huge stadium debts, the players need to realize they can't be greedy. What is Bob Young decides he's sick of losing $? Braley?

Excited about this signing. Feel if he is healthy, K.Smith is a great upgrade. Hopefully he's in Clerks Mode though and not Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back mode though.

Mulumba was getting a lot of playing time due to injuries last year in GB and played fairly well it seems. I think he lasts in GB at least one more year. Getting Bilkukidi in late august/early september may happen.

I think a raise in the SMS of more than 3% and a higher minimum are valid requests. Don't like revenue sharing as it just seems like away for Ontario's teams to take the Western clubs cash. I do think the players have to realize the relatively thin margins most teams operate under.

What a big whoop dee do.

Please no.

Why is Kelly still on the roster?

A little surprised but can't say this makes me mad.

Bauman would be worth it as depth.

Sucks for us, was hoping Ottawa would take him.

So I can pay for 5 TSN's instead of the 2 right now? I can see maybe more college Football and Basketball but what else will they show?

Who would have wanted to go to Point Douglas?

That's BS. This is the kind of stuff the CRTC needs to deal with, not that Canadian Porn channels show enough Canadian content.

Any receivers who might be worth a look in the third?

Assume we use Maher, would they then roster Liram as the 20th NI just in case?

Watman is a centre. Possible that the Riders would deal him.

As others have said, Riders and their fans whined for years about an unlevel playing field. Now they have repeatedly exceded the SMS. Sickening. So Floyd, why have rules? Why have laws? Basically what you're saying.

Take away their draft picks for a year. Fine them $1,000,000 and stop kissing their ass by calling them Canada's team.

If you're Winnipeg and Lavertu goes, do you deal down and try to nab say Gossen and Gill?
