League should try really hard with scheduling to not have back to backs except for the LDC's and rematches. Players would have to take a pay cut though until they got the attendance numbers up. Oh well. Go play in the USFL.
June 26, 20223 yr comment_573007 Just now, Mr. Perfect said: I think that plays a part in it too. I remember in the early 2000's, the season typically started on Canada Day weekend, or the weekend before. I always felt a Canada Day start was perfect, for obvious reasons. Yep. I know previous Bomber front offices really complained about cottage crowds, but these June crowds over the years have been even smaller. Start the season around Canada Day and kids being out of school. If certain markets do better with summer Thursday nights try to get them those games, but most of those cottage issues were really the team being a painful embarrassment that people didn't want to waste their time on.
June 26, 20223 yr comment_573008 Life is so happy being a serious gambler. Play responsibly. Mike Who??????
June 26, 20223 yr Author comment_573009 Rourke can't actually be this good..... Right? I kinda wish we were playing BC next week. Smack this kid in the mouth and keep him from getting too cocky.

I remember the complaints about the cottage crowds. Always found that laughable and to be a lazy excuse to be honest. If you have a good product PLUS, good, effective marketing, fans will come. Speaking of, and maybe it's because I'm working from home and not listening to radio on the way to work like in years past, but it seems our marketing has been lacking. Yeah I know they tried the white out thing last night, but in terms of seeing or hearing a commercial on TV or the radio, I would have had no idea there was a football game last night. 1 minute ago, Super Duper Negatron said: Rourke is the real deal. Throws a pretty ball, no doubt. Good for him.

June 26, 20223 yr comment_573014 The days of even the Bombers getting 30k consistently are and I'm very sorry to say long gone, people especially the younger generation have other things to do and football does not interest them. Strange though that tv ratings are still pretty good.

June 26, 20223 yr comment_573020 Hate it when receivers ***** about PI when they don't even finish their route. Why should that be rewarded? DB is playing the ball and receiver has quit.
June 26, 20223 yr comment_573021 Quite the difference between these offensive lines. Argos getting caved in. Rourke meanwhile has perfect pockets more often than not. Argos missing Shane Ray tonight who was quite effective to start the year.
June 26, 20223 yr comment_573022 Rourke has some top notch receivers helping him out, but he is playing very well
June 26, 20223 yr comment_573023 Rourke is exactly what this league needs. Young marketable player leading an electric offence. need a few more of him.
June 26, 20223 yr comment_573024 So if he keeps it up, Rourke has to demand he get paid more than $80,000 next year, right?

I doubt they even wait till the end of the year to get him signed on a longer contract with more $$$ if he keeps this pace

It would make their roster make-up quite interesting next year. A big reason why they were able to be as aggressive as they were signing people was because of how little was allocated to the QBs.

The Lions will be in salary cap hell next year. Rourke will want a big payday. The Lions entire salary structure is based on paying their qbs $80,000 a year & having salary cap room to sign free agents this season. They'll be losing a few veteran big time players this off season in February.
June 26, 20223 yr comment_573028 Yeah they better make hay this yr cause next they are screwed cap wise I am not yet totally sold...he's played the Elks and a not too impressive Argo team....plus let coordinators see some film in bc after 4 or 5 games...then revisit this. He does throw a nice ball tho...no Fajjing there

June 26, 20223 yr comment_573031 I haven't forgotten what Andrew Harris did for us when he was here, but given his total lack of accountability for last season which played a large part in his departure, I'm hardly shedding a tear watching him struggle in Toronto.
