He asked for mine but I said, Floyd was loaded, you can keep his. I turned my credit into Bomber Store gift cards and got an additional 20% back. I'm going to buy a new jersey anyhow, so may as well get some extra back.

June 19, 20205 yr comment_478221 I remain confident that there will be a 2020 season and that the league will surivive. Its too much a part of the Canadian indentity to be allowed to fold.

Its too much a part of the Canadian indentity to be allowed to fold. I'm hopeful for the 2020 season but I'm confident the league will survive. I agree the government can't allow the CFL to fold.
June 19, 20205 yr comment_478292 Tampa Bay Lighting had to close down their a Phase 2 start up due to multiple players and staff testing positive. The notion that pro sports are going to be able to operate is very suspect. Initiating any start up, and the expense associated with it only to have to shut it down maybe simply a waste of money at this point in time. This has to put up red flags.
June 22, 20205 yr comment_478460 Bombers president Miller comes to defence of CFL commissioner AmbrosieWe didn't put out a press release about that as a league but that's what was done," said Miller, a former Bombers player. "Throughout every team's organization there've been reductions in salaries, staff positions have been eliminated, budgets decreased throughout the business operation . . . all of these things are going on to get our league and teams through this and get our players back on the field."We really need (CFLPA) to grasp the seriousness of the situation facing the league and our teams. We're a gate-driven league and that's been taken right away now because of COVID and the public health concerns, which we fully understand."It's absolutely unfair to go at our commissioner and suggest we're not working hard to find a recovery plan to get back to 2020 and the future. Just absolutely inaccurate and they've been engaged through this process." https://www.collingwoodtoday.ca/national-sports/bombers-president-miller-comes-to-defence-of-cfl-commissioner-ambrosie-2446242

June 23, 20205 yr comment_478545 Houston might be able to beat last year's Ottawa team and that's about it. This Galko guy is dreaming if he thinks they were the best team outside the NFL.

June 23, 20205 yr comment_478559 I'm sure there are some good players in the XFL. But they were picking from a pool of players that were already 1. Not in the NFL and 2. Not in the CFL . So I really wouldn't be making such bold claims.

This Eric Galko guy is just trying to be a hype man for another failed football league, on the remote chance that they reboot the XFL at some point. Unlikely. I'm repeating myself, but, why do rich successful people repeatedly piss their money away thinking that they could succeed running another pro football league in the US?
June 24, 20205 yr comment_478635 Pro teams can’t even get to organized Training Camps and guys are testing positive....how do they think this ever works. Then you have football with a 1 ya LOS...guys huffing and puffing....how sensible is that?

Then you have football with a 1 ya LOS...guys huffing and puffing....how sensible is that? My thoughts too. Wish they would just rip the band aid off and officially cancel the season. Ask the Gov for funds to keep the league a float. And start planning for 2021 which will still be heavily impacted by COVID.
