    The new CFL sites STINK! The Argo site is useless.

    Right off the bat they have the first guy listed a 5'1" 204 lb rb. The guy would be a huge bowling ball.

    When it was launched they said that they'd have to iron out some of the kinks. I kinda hoped they'd accomplished that by the time free agency started.

    There have always been errors on the site, and it is a work in progress now more than ever. To quote an e-mail I received yesterday after asking when the depth charts would return:

    "Hey Craig

    The site is still in the early stages of a soft launch, but we’re hoping to add this feature as soon as possible.

    Thanks,
    Gareth"

    You'd think that as part of the relaunch of the Argos in this market that they'd want a professional (completed) website up and running as soon as possible.

    IIRC there was an article awhile ago stating that all League stats should be completely up and running by this Month. Honestly maybe the League and teams should have waited for completed websites before launching them.

    No question in my books this bum has been the most useless commissioner the CFL has ever had. It's one thing to not have any clue about CFL and any idea for its future but this just takes another turn for the worst when he supposed to be the so called expert on media/t.v. Tsn just came off the worst year in my books in over a decade covering CFL football and now he can't even do anything right from its official web site. I just wish this guy takes his stupid hustler shirts and his stupid CFL logo ideas and his stupid CFL web site and gets away from this league ASAP!

    Ya, but when the opposition expects some 5-1 midget and get a 6-1 tank ... they'll crap their pants.

    Other than about four hundred other times, I don't think I've seen a post like this from you.

    Keep up the great posts Rocket as I love them. Gotta speak your mind and tell it like you see it. Go look at the merch the CFL put out. It's a real winner, thanks Porridge!

    Especially when they are lost in the sports market right now. This doesn't help.
    I'm so sick of NBA crap already. You'd think this was game 7 of the NBA finals with the Raptors playing at home. It's an all star game. Yes it happens to be cold in TO for the first day or two all winter. Yes TO is nice and Americans like it. Holy Crap it makes me puke already. I don't care about Jordan shoes!!! This NBA culture is over the top CRAP!!!

    From what I've seen from this commissioners regime, I have no interest in checking out the websites because I don't think I'll see anything new...the new design looks boring, and I can't stand the streamlined look...you see one team's website, you've seen them all...probably really crappy. Really feel sorry for Roughrider fans who had one of the more colorful sites in all of sports. If that one has become streamlined, I'm sure it can't be nowhere as good.

    If I hear another cookie cut CEO power-babble on about "branding" and "synergy" I think I shall punch myself in the paradigm. Maybe we can begin to leave some space for 'character and individuality.' Scary stuff for the IT/Social Media PR cyborgs who are bound and determined to turn the rest of the World into a vapid, McDonald's wasteland

    I hate corporate-speak as much as anyone but, unfortunately, we won't find a commissioner who won't use it.

    Mike Lysko, but the BOG's had to listen to that responsible owner who always paid his bills in Sherwood Schwartz for a reason to oust him.

    I beleive he runs the Athletics dept at the University of Western Ontario, so he hasn't done badly since that BOG's decision. It must have been a notch on his belt to get fired by the CFL BOG's, particularly under the recommendation of Schwartz' who ran a CFL team as badly as the Gleiberman's and Horn Chen, while leaving a plethora of unpaid bills upon his departure.

    Hasn't Orridge extended the league's corporate sponsorship base by a good margin?
