CFL season cancelled

CFL season cancelled … For those that get their news out of Canada via dog sled express, the Canadian Football League cancelled its 2020 season after it failed to get financial support from the federal government. Unlike the NFL or the NHL, CFL teams don’t get rich from TV revenue and are very much dependent on gate receipts to survive. And there are no guarantees that the league will survive through to 2021, although it has been through some tough times before. Meanwhile, the Canadian college football season was cancelled weeks ago along with all fall sports.

For all of you waiting to see the Toronto Argonauts play this year I have some bad news.  Now none of it's players have to freeze their balls off for 50,000 a year.

These smaller “semi-pro” type leagues rely a lot more on gate so this was to be expected.

yeah.. CFL might not recover from this which is really to bad. There are a lot of hardcore CFL fans up here that will argue that despite the talent gap, the CFL is a better game in general. Im not on that train but there are definitely things that the CFL does better than the NFL (video replays for one..)

I have a longtime friend in Sasketchewan and have watched their team play in the Grey Cup a couple times over the internet with her. The wide receivers being able to get a running start towards the LOS before the play is one of the most obvious and striking differences. It's definitely an interesting change of pace but you can tell the talent level just isn't close to the same as NFL starters.

The talent gap is there for sure. Yet its also a different type of talent. 

Byt yet when Rickey Williams played in the CFL he was no good. Yet the following yet he went back tot he NFL and did ok.. so its just different..

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
