One of the former Linemen in question is running the league now

But he is Commissioner. My point is guys that sign big contracts with teams because they're always drafted first over others don't really care about league minimums or tenuos positions on teams.

My favorite stop during my tours of SW Saskatchewan was "Yellow Grass Sask" and yes what grass i saw was yellow!

That's what you get when you don't have indoor plumbing. Especially hard on the female population there.

South side of the prairies can be just awful in summer and in winter. But once youve worked welding in a sea can, operating a burn oven or in most shops every thing out side is meh.

coal has been flirting with a real come back over seas, if not more then flirting. Farmland in canada isnt nearly what it is down in the states but it the gross numbers do inflate the view a bit.

Canadian Farm income is a higher percentage of GDP and it is higher per capita.

cant compare percentages of income with a country where one state has more people then all of our country. the subsidies make farming in the US drastically more profitable.

Wrong thread for this discussion - but you are not quite correct. 

... crickets ...

Games for this week ... 

I'm going to say TiCats get the revenge on SSK 23-10.  Bridge is under fire at THF.

Could be a good shootout brewing in Ottawa Friday night.  Redbacks take it 37-27.

Then after we have our fun filled action in BMI ... The dumpster fire takes full force in MTL at CGY.  Kavis Reed goes trotting out Matthews again.  I could see this becoming a repeat of that 59-1 beatdown that got put on Hamilton last year.  It's too bad the Als fans have already stopped caring or they could get Reed fired and Willy and Matthews tossed off the team.  Sorry, but I really believe it is the front office and Andrew Wettenhall calling the shots on this team with Mike Sherman being nothing more than a figurehead.

Yes, I say the Riders lose BIG in kitty cat land on Thursday...

...and with a Rider loss I will finally start to feel a little better after that debacle we witnessed on Saturday night.

With the way your defense is playing, I'd be more worried about your game with Toronto.

yeah but you cant win many football games scoring only 1 touchdown a game....it will catch up to you pretty fast

We could make a great team between our two rosters

Right now, this league looks like Calgary....and a host of others.

We will see how good they look with Arbuckle at the helm. Sounds like BLM will not be playing

Anyone can just toss it up to those receivers. And their Defence is going to run wild on Matthews. I'm expecting this game to be over midway through the 2nd Q.

Yeah- you guys can have the Sask O, Sask ST and Wpg D- we'll take the rest.
