Yeah, Calgary really laid the smackdown on Hamilton last night. Doesn't get easier for Hamilton as they play Edmonton this week.

There's an old saying that the CFL season actually starts after Labo(u)r Day and I think it's very applicable this season. Edmonton and Calgary will play twice in five days starting with the LDC on Sept. 4th and I think we should know a lot more after those two games.

Firing everybody in the CFL command centre would be a good start.

 

[tducey]

Yeah those Edmonton/Calgary games will be measuring sticks. I'm also interested to see if the league expands soon. Got to think they may go to 10 teams to even up the divisions. Increase presence out here with a franchise in Halifax or Moncton.

I like this new commish, he sees a problem and acts swiftly to rectify the situation.

TORONTO — Coaches will be able to challenge only one play per game under changes to the video review system approved Tuesday night by the Canadian Football League, the CFL announced Wednesday.

“We have a super game. Our elite athletes are treating us this year to incredible plays, close contests and even miracle comebacks. Scoring is up, penalties are down, and games are shorter. The last thing we want to have in place is an artificial impediment to our fans’ enjoyment of it all,” said CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie.

”Video review, unfortunately, has become just that. It was put in place to fix egregious and indisputable mistakes that could affect the outcome of a game. It’s not being used that way now. Too many challenges and reviews are interrupting the game. Coaches, understandably since they are under pressure to win, have been using it to try to gain an advantage. Fans have been very clear with me that they want a change. We are delivering that change.”

Just over 11,000 was the announced attendance at BMO Field last night - That had to be tickets sold because I don't think there were 5,000 people in the stands.

here i thought it was my fault.
recorded game, started watching when company left.
made it about 6 minutes in before shutting it off.
was only 15 - 0, but there was nothing pretty going on.

Wally even addressed their lack of focus before the game and they came out worse. That was brutal and JJ stunk

 

[tducey]

That's terrible attendance for the Argos. Biggest city in the country you would hope you'd get more fans to that to a game.
