April 24, 201411 yr comment_47633 I think the assumption that over spending the cap by 18k had a significant effect on them winning the cap is a bit of a stretch. A little perspective might be the Yankees annual attempt to spend and win the World Series.
April 24, 201411 yr comment_47635 under 100k = $ for $ fine + down 1 spot for first pick 100k and over = $ for $ fine + lose first pick. Â that make sense to me
April 24, 201411 yr comment_47637 I wouldn't care too much if we won a cup by spending slightly over the cap.... if the league wants to be serious about penalizing teams for going over then start taking away draft picks.... dollar for dollar on $18k is no big deal
April 24, 201411 yr comment_47654 I would prefer some meaningful slap. The idea of moving down the draft makes sense. The drop for each 10K sounds right. But it would have to be in the 1st round. There seemed to be a conscious effort, with deferred payments, to keep the overage as low as possible. Â There should be more of a fitting punishment. Something like how we're punished when we have to listen to their blathering. Or it that too harsh?
April 24, 201411 yr comment_47658 I think the punishment for going over the cap should be that the teams play by play man for the season is Rod Black.
April 24, 201411 yr comment_47659 I think the punishment for going over the cap should be that the teams play by play man for the season is Rod Black. nah, make it something truly painful: They have to sit and listen to Iso and Nate talk about how everything WBB was great in 1965, Osborne Stadium was better than anything currently in the league, and that they wore onions on their belt...
April 24, 201411 yr comment_47691 Take away their draft picks for a year. Fine them $1,000,000 and stop kissing their ass by calling them Canada's team.
April 25, 201411 yr comment_47711 its $17k... no big deal... as if you're going to take away a draft pick for $17k.... Â basically, they are over the cap because they had to payout grey cup bonuses - all teams should operate like this

Â basically, they are over the cap because they had to payout grey cup bonuses - all teams should operate like this league pays for playoff bonuses not teams. They are over the cap because they spent too much on player salaries plain and simple.Â
April 25, 201411 yr comment_47723 As others have said, Riders and their fans whined for years about an unlevel playing field. Now they have repeatedly exceded the SMS. Sickening. Â So Floyd, why have rules? Why have laws? Basically what you're saying.
April 25, 201411 yr comment_47724 The Riders becoming the very thing they've despised for the last thirty years - the Evil Empire.Â

Â Well, Noeller. At least I've seen the Bombers win a Grey Cup unlike you. I never went to Osborne Stadium as that was before my time. By the pictures I've seen, it looked like an interesting place, though.Â

They are over the cap because they spent too much on player salaries plain and simple.  Player contracts can also have bonus clauses for the playoffs.
April 25, 201411 yr comment_47736 The cfl pays for 54 playoff shares to be distributed to active, injured and 9 game injured. Any other shares paid to coaches, staff and pr players are at the expense of the team. Bonus clauses to the players for playoff performances are not permitted in a standard player contract.

You can't tell me that a GC victory by the Bombers wouldn't be a hugely emotional thing for you if they won now. Bigger than 1990 for you. I've been there, done that. But if I talk more about it, I'll have to bring in Nate to describe what the feeling is like when your team wins when  you actually care. Noeller, just giving you the gears, man....
April 28, 201411 yr comment_47915 If or when the Blue win another Grey Cup I think the feeling will be more of a huge monkey off the back rather then jubilation.
April 28, 201411 yr comment_47919 If or when the Blue win another Grey Cup I think the feeling will be more of a huge monkey off the back rather then jubilation. Can't it be both like the late Earl Warren?

Noeller, just giving you the gears, man....  Keep in mind, the Bombers in 1990 not only did they win the cup, it was their 3rd in 6 years, so there was almost an expectation of not only appearing in the big game, but one of winning it as well.Â
