Amazing post.
The reply you got from that journalist - wow - very powerful information.
So CFL ratings are twice as high as NFL ratings even though the calculate the NFL numbers from two different networks. I had noticed Sportsnet simulcasting but actually haven't watched any NFL games...
Simulcasts work like this: the Canadian network overrides the American feed and gets to put its own commercials and logo, and get viewers counted who watched either network. Sportsnet has started...
Looking after your business interests isn't a "conspiracy." The own the Leafs, Raptors, Jays and FC. They know the 100th Grey Cup is going to be a huge event and poses a big threat to the sporting...
It's the same deal for every team that has a contract with Ticketmaster. They insist on having a monopoly.
We know who pays these guys' salaries. With the Grey Cup threatening to give a huge boost in fans to the Argos, these guys are in desperation mode, trying to discredit the Argos in any way to please...
Argos hosted the 2007 Grey Cup yet they lost the 2007 East Final, so it clearly wasn't fixed. Why doesn't Jeff Blair comment on that?
Let's prove him right.

The NBA has fixed playoff games as recently as 2002 (See Kings v. Lakers Game 6).
Yet I do not hear the Toronto media accusing the NBA of fixing games despite questionable officiating.
The...
It may be true the Grey Cup wouldn't have sold out if the Riders didn't make it, but the same could have been said for Montreal, Hamilton, Calgary, Edmonton, BC, Toronto if they got to the game...so...
How much would it cost to hire an established mainstream media shill to do some positive CFL reporting? Perhaps this is what the CFL should have invested their $2million in Southern Ontario. No...
Fair point about BC, but I'd still go with Fraser or Butler over Alexander.
The media whores have put the Argos in a no-win situation.
Lose the Grey Cup and they will once again fade into the black hole of lack of Toronto CFL coverage.
Win the Grey Cup and they will...
When teams that lose year after year and fleece their customers are the only ones getting any love from the Rogers/Bell sports media monopoly, I would hope this would raise some eyebrows among the...
These selections are all based on reputation and hype. The real All-Stars are the ones that get selected by the CFLPA, the players who know what is actually going on.
I too agree that the Jovon...
Agreed.
It's a great decision for the league.
If marketed properly, you will have people take a few minutes out of their normal Sunday night TV-watching to flip over to TSN for the halftime...
There is a not-so-fine line here between "opinions" vs. an organized campaign of slander and disinformation. Just because they use different outlets to spread their BS does not make it any less...
The phrase is overused to the point that it has lost its meaning...but in this case I wholeheartedly agree that these people are just peddling "conspiracy theories."
The Rogers-based propaganda has...
What do Jeff Blair, Damien Cox and Stephen Brunt all have in common? They are all on Rogers payroll.
In what way does Steve Simmons differ? He works for Sun Media and Bell.
The behaviour of...
The Globe asked Blair to write about the Argos and the best he could come up with was a lame hit-piece with the words "shill" written all over it. Articles like these are only meant to reduce the...
I've been following the Ticketmaster seat selector the past few days and many tickets are indeed being sold.
A handful of sections are practically full. Endzone 100 level is almost entirely sold...
Jeff Blair is a paid Rogers shill masquerading as a reporter. These people will do ANYTHING to question the credibility of the CFL in Toronto. Has there been any evidence of ref bias this year? ...
My point is that we are all the same - so why worry about which races are attending games and which ones aren't.
Let's worry about getting more bums in the seats and stop worrying about what...
How can a stadium that is literally on the edge of habitable land considered central? beats me.
One could argue that the current location is the least central location imaginable. Considering most of the surrounding area is Lake.
Even a stadium in Burlington could get customers from a 360...
