Anselmi is an alumnus of Ryerson University and University of Saskatchewan. Not sure what qualifications an investment banker would have to be commissioner of the CFL.
January 21, 201510 yr comment_104186 I was expecting to see David Braley (owner of BC Lions), David Braley (former Canadian Senator) and David Braley (owner of the Toronto Argos).
January 21, 201510 yr comment_104188 Anselmi is interesting. You'd think he'd have some influence is solving the Argos mess.

I see where this is going.
January 21, 201510 yr comment_104191 I was expecting to see David Braley (owner of BC Lions), David Braley (former Canadian Senator) and David Braley (owner of the Toronto Argos) At one time I think he did actually want to be Commish while still owning the Ti Cats.

Anselmi is an alumnus of Ryerson University and University of Saskatchewan. Not sure what qualifications an investment banker would have to be commissioner of the CFL. Investment bankers are regarded as dealmakers at a very high stakes level. I could see how that could benefit a CFL commissioner, who often has to bring two (or more) sides together to make a deal; be it labour, media, or stadiums, etc.
January 21, 201510 yr comment_104206 And we all know how successful the flagship franchise, the Maple Leafs have been under his watch.

I see where this is going. I imagine being connected to MLSE is a job requirement. What with the earth revolving around the toronto maple leaves.
January 21, 201510 yr comment_104213 Like it or not, or agree or not. This is a high profile job that needs someone that is seriously connected in the large markets. Don't kid yourself that big buck TSN deal is seriously predicated on the large TV markets.
January 28, 201510 yr comment_105062 I was expecting to see David Braley (owner of BC Lions), David Braley (former Canadian Senator) and David Braley (owner of the Toronto Argos). You never put your name up for the job when you can put a puppet in charge instead.
January 28, 201510 yr comment_105074 The fact that nobody with a CFL history is interested in the job is a pretty good indication of how the job is viewed. A thankless job with no opportunity for the commissioner to control the dialogue or get anything done.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105077 Curious about the last post?have you seen the list of applicants?
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105078 Curious about the last post?have you seen the list of applicants?Read the Lawless tweet a few posts up.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105085 Curious about the last post?have you seen the list of applicants?Read the Lawless tweet a few posts up. Lawless just listed the finalists, not a full list of applicants. JBR said nobody with CFL experience was interested but who's to say there wasn't and they just didn't make the final cut?
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105088 So in other words no Mark Cohons? No Cohons, or No cajones... There is a difference.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105089 Just as long as it isn't a guy like Donald Grump... err... Crump.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105222 Coho had no CFL experience and by all account he was a smiling face shaking glands and kissing babies
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105232 Coho had no CFL experience and by all account he was a smiling face shaking glands and kissing babiesPlus he had the best tan I've ever seen on a commissioner.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105236 Coho had no CFL experience and by all account he was a smiling face shaking glands and kissing babiesPlus he had the best tan I've ever seen on a commissioner. When the competition is Tom "highly flammable if exposed to sunlight" Wright...

January 29, 201510 yr comment_105240 Coho had no CFL experience and by all account he was a smiling face shaking glands and kissing babies Shaking glands? Which glands? Mammary glands? That sly dog. Envy will get you nowhere.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105281 Cohon was the best Commissioner since forever. He will be a hard act to follow, especially the George Hamilton III-mahogany type tan. awesome.
