The alleged 21,787 fans at the last home game didn't look anywhere near that on TV. The dive in attendance for a former model franchise is deeply concerning.

The reason the Elks won out after BC offered Kenny Lawler $275,000, was they gave him $300,000. The numbers for WRs, even top ones, are getting crazy by CFL standards, especially when the Argos...

Chris Jones is bringing another veteran player who formerly played for him to the Elks: nine year veteran DB Ed Gainey, who has played for Montreal, Hamilton and most recently Saskatchewan.

Ian Murray, the chair of the Elks board of directors, that while he sees the addition of Jones and Simons as helping improve the on-field product much more has to be done to bring back fans.

Edmonton is pursuing Mike O'Shea for GM/HC according to Arash Madani.
