Rest assured the activity is furious at CFL headquarters, but we haven’t had an update in awhile. In my circles, CFL stakeholders are burning up the phone lines planning a gigantic fundraiser – think of a CFL Live Aid around the globe – but not much can be planned without some concrete news on the 2020 season. What’s encouraging is that many current and past players are eager to pitch in.Whether the CFL gets government assistance to cover their massive losses remains anyone’s guess. CFL types I’ve talked to seem to think it’s a slam dunk but it’s a very slippery slope for the Trudeau government. Every other league I’ve talked to, including baseball, soccer, lacrosse, basketball and hockey, is observing the situation like a hawk and will be next in line for a handout if the CFL gets theirs. Given the Liberals propensity for all things being “fair” they could prop up everybody … or nobody.The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announced a $3.5-million profit in 2019 while the Saskatchewan Roughriders announced a $200,000+ loss. What that tells me is that the Blue Bombers have got it going on. Could they become the CFL’s marquee franchise? They’re on their way.http://rodpedersen.com/weekend-random-thoughts-for-universal-collision-centre/ Where is the spit take emojii when you need it?
June 7, 20205 yr comment_477097 Gord Miller doesn't come across arrogant when he calls CFL games. Him and Matty have good chemistry and are my favorite duo to watch regardless of whatever teams are playing. I also don't really care about Miller having a face for radio and don't understand the importance of having an attractive PBP guy to call CFL games?

June 7, 20205 yr comment_477149 I just feel like we have bigger things to worry about than who’s gonna he calling the games if we actually have a season.

Wouldn't it be the entry level PBP needing to give them a chance? Of course... but you think a national CFL broadcast is entry level??... entry level is a radio broadcast for an MJHL team... CFL is about 5 levels above entry level...
June 8, 20205 yr comment_477216 This is a NHL rumor but could have pretty big implications on the CFL. No idea if there is any legitamacy to this reports but it talks about how the NHL is considering permanantly starting the season later to avoid having to compete against the NBA. https://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/rumor-nhl-looking-at-making-permanent-changes-to-the-regular-season?ref=sidebar This is something that could really benefit the CFL down the stretch and into the playoffs and the Grey Cup her in Canada.

That his Sportsnet contract isn't a multi year six figure salary paid annually? No I’m saying he left TSN because of possible lack of job security. Hypothetically if his TSN deal was paid on a per game basis who knows what number of games he would have had , with the possibility of none.

Hockey Feed.com...is the absolute worst for throwing junk out there. I can’t imagine the NHL is worried about the NBA.

June 9, 20205 yr comment_477373 The dark old days before TSN carried every game. I think many of us remember having to listen to games on the radio. I remember having to walk home 35 miles, all uphill, in the snow, barefooted and as I sat by the fire listening to CJOB and a Bomber game.
