In reply to Sean. Well, if you're here in AOttawa, you'd be able to tell. They will make a healthy profit. What kind of CFL fan are you. You seem to wish bad things to happen to a partner in this league. So far every event at the Grey Cup this year has been packed. The domments have been nothing but overwhelmingly positive.

In case no one has noticed, the CFL brand is losing momentum, and not only in Toronto. Vancouver feels it too, and another season in Montreal like the last three will begin the spiral there too, if it hasn’t already begun. Now, I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but there is no question that money talks. In the case of the Argos or Riders in the GC, I can see both David Braley and the CFL having a clear preference. And Jake Ireland has never been anything but an Argos fan.

Is it a slam dunk? No, of course not. No one wants to imagine that sports are anything less than 100% legitimate. But it isn’t as far-fetched as some make it out to be, either.

Maybe they should’ve fixed it last year when the game was in Toronto. There was a total lack of interest in Toronto for the Grey Cup last year, empty seats and then many sold off cheap.
If the Argos win the GC it will be embarassing to see a total lack of support for a Grey Cup winning parade in TO

It doesn’t. Every team gets robbed and every team gets gifts – but only the Rider fans, and apparently the Cat fans, only remember one, but not the other.

Here is a UNIVERSAL truth: only the losers complain about the refs. Got that, losers?

In reply to Bayleymeg. Best comment. Apparently, he has a lot of friends on that spaceship.

As a diehard Ticats fan, it can often appear the CFL seems to not necessarily guarantee Argo wins, but help them. Now the Ticats blew the 14 point lead back on Sept 30th, but when 2 legitimate turnovers are taken away from your team in one game, and it benefits the Argos, it makes you wonder.

It was to help him recoup some of his losses, not to put him further in debt because they are money losing events. All you have to do is look at the financial results for teams in the year they host the GC & you will see a big spike in profits

In reply to Sean.

A lot better than seven other teams, and nearly as well as their opponent.

How did your team do in the West final.. oh wait.. I mean the West semi final.. er… the East Semi… regular season.. pre season..

Shit – how did your team do that one year four seasons ago? Pretty good? Good. Enjoy it – you have at least another year to wait until you get that feeling again.
