Conspiracy theories

i really wish Mr. Cohon would privately call these guys and ask them "what possess you to write this?" or "what evidence do you have and wanna come by to show me?" and really, isn't the joke about the two names really over by now? Or better yet, call these guys out publicly. Show me the proof. Mr. Blair strikes me as a pissed off birther just like Donald Trump!!

Finally, if people today don't care about the league its highly doubtful they remember when it had two teams with the same name so the joke he is making isn't even funny to them. They never cared so they don't get it. it just makes him look stupid.

You are right on the money. Both the league and CFL fans need to start sticking up for this league.

When I saw who wrote the "article" (Jeff Blair), I laughed. On the opening day of the CFL season, I was driving home from work, I was listening, as I always do, to PTS. Jeff Blair was hosting the show, (I listened anyway) which was a roundtable. He admitted that he was unaware the CFL season was kicking off that day until that very afternoon.

He should have been embarrassed when he made that acknowledgement. Jeff Blair is an idiot.

I doubt he was embarrassed. In some circles ignorance of the CFL is worn as a badge of honour (or should I say honor?).

I'd like to see someone from the league office out this sort of shit. You got something, let's see it.

Funny how he writes "And as for winning playoff games in this city? The Raptors did it last, in 2008."

Not only is that not correct as the Rock have won since then. But it also happens to be exactly the same mistake that Steve Simmons made in his article. So this idiot gets his "facts" from Simmons?

[argotom]

Yes we can add Blair to the likes of Brunt, Cox, Simmons etc.
All tools and wow surprisingly working for Rogers.

On his Radio show this morning, he was making commnets, that the major Argo announcment was that the league was allow the Argos to use 4 downs. He said the fix is in and everyone knows it. He was serious he was not make a joke. The league needs to step up and comment on his crap

[Midnight Blue]

Whenever chatting with NFL fans, and the 3-down/4-down thing comes up, I just tell them that in the CFL,

we start on "second down".

And we got bigger balls. To boot.

Cheers !

Seriously?? How does Blair know that the CFL has 3 downs?

Brunt was on yesterday and said that the 2007 Grey Cup only sold out because Saskatchewan made the game. (factually wrong) He was trying to explain that the last GC was not a successful one.

[RoRoYoBoat]

The only fix that's in is that the Toronto sports media are working together to destroy the CFL in Toronto. They are a black eye for Toronto in the rest of the country that has a deep affection for the CFL. To make an analogy they come across as a "wife beater".

What makes it worse is that the 100th. Grey Cup is being held in Toronto and they can't even respect that. I don't know if they understand how badly they make Toronto look with these types of articles.

Didn't hear that, but what was McCowan's response? IIRC, he was on the Grey Cup comittee in '07.

He was on the hour before Bob as a guest about his book 100 Grey Cups or whatever.

[matthew]

I was just going to ask that myself. So what did Bobcat say?

[294life]

'last year when Owens crapped out with the club' ? Holy moley how unprofessional is that?

[1argoholic]

I couldn't even read that steaming pile of crap.

Just sent the article link to a big CFL fan who've I've known since before his Sportsnet days, Brad Fay. Told him that if he runs into any of the above mentioned hacks to mention this. An Argo friend would like to. Oh I can't post what I said I might get banned.

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? 60% of calls have gone against Toronto. As for questioning the trade, you gotta be kidding me. This goes beyond the typical Toronto Inferiority Complex, he is a PAID SHILL!

Time to hit this guy hard.

Could not agree more and thanks for posting his contact info, unfortunately i have tried with this group to express the need to repond to these types of storys and i get nothing but excuses of why they can't.

[1argoholic]

Thanks for posting his e-mail as I just fired off a good rant to him and named dropped the other notorious CFL haters.
