Three points. TSN has a TV contract and if the league does not provide games they will fork over dollars. Second, most players work in the off season....

[DJR]

No offence taken, simply discussion. Not a fan of brinksmanship. In fact I am all about laying my cards on the table....

[DJR]

Exactly. What we see is mostly tactics of course. It is simply my opinion that the league has stepped across a line they should not. BTW there are...

[DJR]

So we just become a rookie league for a while? That should draw some fans?



Edit: Meaning of "suspend"
...

[DJR]

A strike is not affordable, period. So it seems to me that the league should not suspend talks and say they have "other priorities." That...

[DJR]

Spending money to get a competitive advantage over other teams in the league is simply spending money. It does not in any way help the league survive....

[DJR]

While it is true that unions often go too far this one is on the owners. Coach salaries and number of staff have both been rising, until of course the...

Dear CFL,

Your decision to with hold players' bonuses, then to suspend negotiations is causing much angst. Please get back to table and...

[DJR]

The opening shot was holding off all bonuses. That is the gutter....

[DJR]

CFLPA got totally owned in the last negotiations. It has been my opinion all along that this will not happen again. Hard to see a long stoppage but once...

Same quality. As for the concern, well in a world of no antibiotics, no hormones, gluten free, grain free, vegan, organic, anti vax, "franken food",...

RB's losses have been mainly on the offensive side of the ball. Why? Other than the timing this just does not seem like a big loss.

[DJR]

Yeah back to Canola. As previously stated fungus/disease and insects in grain have been issues for a very long time. Also some markets are closed to...

The whole zombie thing holds no entertainment value for me at all. Hope it passes soon....

[DJR]

So what is the deal with all the zombie movies. I watched a movie about the last man on Mars, zombie movie. Sci Fi horror is almost always zombie. Etc,...

[DJR]

Hmm, blackleg. That is unfortunate as there is little question it is present. Some growing it every second year likely made the situation much worse....
