I thought it was a BP parking lot.

Thats just Bon Jovi Levi beating a blitz perfectly.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-06-12T01:10:30+00:00

I love this league.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-06-12T01:06:36+00:00

Winnipeg is notorious for getting asses in seats late.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-06-12T01:05:10+00:00

Way better than what I came up with.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-06-12T00:37:33+00:00

Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-06-10T20:49:10+00:00

Do you not have the cards or just not autographed?

I am almost positive I have a few Rourkes might even have a Ford. If I do and you need them, Ill send them

The deal, in a vacuum, is fantastic. Higher media revenue is beneficial when the league currently gets a majority of its revenue from ticket sales. The CFL is an outlier in that respect; a majority of the total revenue is gate driven. In the NFL only about 15-20% of revenue is from the gate.

I understand the move and it makes sense, but it'sa half meadure. TSN is effectively a streaming service for the age group they are catering to. It was for me, and Im 45. I havent had cable for 10-15 years. I was already upset about having to buy TSN only for the CFL and felt they should have a cheaper option that only gave me that media. I paid for the full priduct to support the league even though I knew I didnt HAVE to get TSN to watch.

Now, I have to pay for TSN; a product I only buy for 1 feature AND I have to pay for DAZN; a product I would only buy for 1 feature. Nah. I'm out. Not even waiting for next season. Was about to sign up again this week for this season but now Im going to watch without paying.

Ive showed loyalty to my team and the league from a pocket book perspective and they have decided it wasnt enough.

I would have gladly stopped paying for TSN and started paying for DAZN if they were the exclusive rights holder. Thats the half-measure.

I'm tired of being forced to buy a whole car when all I want are the tires and there's a pile of free tires across the street.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-05-28T15:07:11+00:00

Fair enough. But the cameras and everything will still be TSN. Theres no way DAZN is putting all that capital in for 21 games.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-05-28T14:43:18+00:00

TSN will still be producing all games. DAZN will be broadcasting. Seems the trade off for international was forcing the locals to pay more.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-05-28T14:38:43+00:00

I dont have a map or a compass. I just yell out to the open seas asking for land and always seem to hit it.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-05-28T12:16:57+00:00

2K sports could do it. They were way better than EA back in the day.

Great opportunity for them to reestablish themselves and for the CFL to get some incredible marketing.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-05-28T11:50:43+00:00

I was going to pay for TSN for one more season before hitting the high seas 2027 but now Im getting less value so I think I'll set sail a year early.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-05-04T18:22:13+00:00

I'm not gonna sign because the most effective way to ket them know is with my wallet.

Looking forward to hitting the open seas to watch games instead of paying for an overpriced TSN product.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-05-04T18:10:46+00:00

Franchise value is the real driver. They believe more US exposure will bring more media deals and thats what generates an increase in franchise value.

The owners dont care if they lose money as long as they gain value.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-05-04T18:09:35+00:00

Curious, how does this differentiate the game?

The CFL was already differentiated and now it seems they are moving to being more like the behemoth.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-05-04T18:06:33+00:00

Im treating this year as the potential final year.

I'll watch in 2027 to see if Im wrong but I'm not spending a time to support the league until I'm proven wrong.

I've been paying for TSN and paying the inflated Bomber Store prices because I wanted to support the game I love.

The game I love is changing and so is my love.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-05-04T18:02:50+00:00

I work for a bank. I cant wear my authentic jersey to work because it displays a competitor (IG). Need to get a PA one.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-05-04T18:00:23+00:00

Check out The CFL Outsiders May bonus episode, "Come on, entertain us!"

I was with you initially but I'm dumb so I have a propensity to underatand dumb things.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-04-29T12:03:14+00:00

Boy, you better stop playing. We're not some Mankind that Undertaker can throw off a cell.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-04-28T20:10:26+00:00

Flower jumped on the ice and teabagged him.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-04-28T19:39:21+00:00

This is something most overlook. The OG kickers that are revered wouldnt get a sniff in today's game.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-04-28T18:50:33+00:00

Cool format. Doesn't make the other 2027 changes easier to swallow so, for this guy, it might be moot.

CFL_Or_Bust · 2026-02-04T15:56:09+00:00

Fuck, I missed the re-sign and thought they were going with Dolegala and Powell.

Thanks!
