Good luck with that one.

The 1 think I would like to see is for the guaranteed contract on vets to be pushed up to 4 games rather than 9. If a vet makes it out of camp, he has earned that right.

I don't think it will happen TBH.

This is why I always say unless there is big upfront signing bonus money, a CFL player that signs more than a 1 year contract (with the exception being the mandatory 2 year entry deal) is nuts.

Problem is, as Paul mentioned above, the majority of American players are not on the same page as the Canadian players. The majority of the American players are still of the belief that they need to...

Personally, I think many on here have overvalued what CFL rights are worth in the US. For starters, ESPN pays next to nothing for the current rights, and I highly doubt that a bidding war will emerge...

I think you are confusing the NFL network price for the NFL ticket price. They are not related. NFL network is actually a free part of digital cable subscriptions in the US, and really has not been a...

I have serious doubts about that. I think the money is not even at the 10M amount I used as an example. My guess is Ambrosie is taking a gamble that NFLN will be happy with the viewership and perhaps...

Sure, if you say so. I say it will result in overall decrease in ticket sales. Less press = less awareness. And even if the US TV deal brought in 10M per year, which I have doubts on, that is not...

Exactly. It's not even entirely about ratings. The league needs all the media attention it can get at key points in the year. TSN and every other media platform are all over the Stanley Cup playoffs,...

I'm with you on this 100%. IMO, it would be a colossal failure to move it up 4-6 weeks.

I really don't think it matters. Canadian sports networks are all over the playoffs regardless of who is participating. The lack of exposure alone will result in less butts in the seats at that time....

Again, the 3 weeks they would be head to head during the Stanley Cup playoffs, IMO would cost them more in ticket sales, than the 2 weeks in November. I've already done a comparison to playoff...

If they do it, they'll do it for a year, realize the reduced press at the start of the season and in the playoffs hurts the league more than playing cold weather playoff games do, and admit it was a...

And this I have no problem with. I've stated that the league should make the final weekend of October the end of the regular season and market the first 3 weekends in November as Grey Cup month....

Another reason to buy Argos season tickets. A playoff ticket is included in the package.

If the NHL playoffs ended in May like they used to, I would be OK with a June 1 start, but as I've said, it could be suicidal going up against NHL playoffs and Memorial cup at the start of the...

100%

Actually, more likely due to people coming back from Summer vacations. Another reason that attendance in the CFL is traditionally higher in the fall. I get that you and your family don't like sitting...

Those same teams you speak of aren't selling out regular season games either. I truly believe it will have a negative effect on regular season attendance and TV ratings. IMO, it's better to sacrifice...

Attendance at Argos playoff game kind of defeats that theory, especially when considering they had only about 4,000 season tickets.

I would say that length of CFL games is down. Very rare to have a 3 hour game these days.

100% agreed Paul. Imagine if both the Leafs and Raptors went deep into the playoffs in the same year, and the Argos had a home game at the same time. Me, You and maybe a couple thousand of us...
