Mr Commissioner…better call off the meetings with the Halifax group and drop the idea of a CFL franchise forever.Why?
Because “Jim” (whoever he is) has assured us all already that it will NEVER happen. Gee…thanks Jim for straightening out those Halifax goobers.

In reply to Jim. Jim....how can you be so negative????Thank goodness some forward thinking people from Halifax think differently.Time for Oland's and the Irvings to step up and build a stadium.

Maybe Mr. Irving might want to get involved with team – he could probably use a tax deduction.
The negativity is astounding – it may be a dream – but dreams do come true and this would be a wonderful thing for the CFL.
I believe there is a lot of really good Canadian ball players out there that get overlooked simply because they are Canadian (quarterbacks eh!!).

It would be very wise to get the 10th team into Halifax as soon as possible. The Maritimes are an untapped sports market and it would definitely drive up viewership and interest nationwide. The regional name would be wise to keep to have regional interest, and yes, the name of the team should be The Atlantic Schooners. Forget about the negativity shown on this blog and others…Suppport the CFL and make it major league!

To Jim pull your head out of your ____ CFL Football is a working man game with working man ticket prices. In Sask I drive 8 hrs one way to watch my riders. Win or lose we travel to every city in the league. Jim ask Mike Babcock why small city people back the CFL because they work for a living.

In reply to Rick. Jim is a disappointed Toronto NFL fan. Even they are realizing the NFL will never arrive and are very bitter!!!

In reply to Jim. Why are the Argos struggling with attendance. Because of the NFL franchise. Oh wait, the NFL hasn't granted a franchise to the "sure thing". Just hilarious. Toronto waits and waits for something that will never arrive. The sweet sweet irony.

What is wrong with you?
Apart from Horsie, I have never seen such negativity.
Just be happy they are trying.
It has been a long haul for the Schooners group.
Let’s hop it works.
