CFL 2024

Wonder if there is more going on then meets the eye and that’s why the sale of the team might be delayed.

The City of Edmonton is in a bad spot financially and Katz knows it. They’re desperate for more revenue and commonwealth is an expense that could be a turned into a quick lump sum.

If Katz can take advantage of that desperation to get a sweetheart deal on CW by selling the city on the idea that like he did for downtown he can generate more economic benefit for the city from the stadium area. I think it’s likely he could squeeze more out of CW then the city has whether it’s a soccer team, more concerts and events, surrounding development. More importantly he controls the asset/land, and any new owner who likely has deep pockets has to deal with him now on the teams home.

How many football games would it take the Elks to make the same amount Katz could make for an Oilers playoff game watch party at Commonwealth?

Might be time to think about finding a different kicker. Christ.

 

[Heavy Dee]

If we’re still going to be paying for its upkeep then they may as well. If Katz actually wants to buy it and incur all the costs that go with it then by all means he should do it. He wasn’t willing to do that for a brand new arena so I doubt that’s what he’s aiming for here either. I don’t think we should be paying for him to make money off another building.

So then you're clearly not in favor of the Rogers place deal because he is making nothing but money off of it.

Same old Elks. You needed to fire Bede into the sun but really it's the coaches fault for not punting.

 

[MoontoScott]

Juliene is an outstanding punter--the best the EE have had since the days of Hank Ilisec.

 

[Heavy Dee]

MBT moves the ball he doesn't put up touchdowns whatsoever.

No mobility to escape the rush.

 

[robertocarlos]

One Elk f***s up the play on every play.

Could copy and paste this for a number of “Elks” QBs over the past 10 years. Team has been chronically unable to score TDs since forever.

 

[MoontoScott]

Mitchell is a bright spot and has been the best Eskie to date this season.

 

[robertocarlos]

Nice play Smith.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Bede and Leeke have been disastrous FA signings. Can see one or both gone before Labour Day.

 

[FiftyFifty]

smelks are hopeless

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Dean Faithful and now Boris "Bidet"... Great choices CJ... I've never seen Boris look this bad.

Is Faithful still around the team? If so then it might be time to make a change.

Oh god, no

 

[Heavy Dee]

Get him out of there

 

[MoontoScott]

Oh god, no

I thought he was decent last year. Certainly no worse than our high profile free agent?

 

[FiftyFifty]

Now the time to put in Tre the rest of the way. You have nothing to lose.

Nooo.. Guy had a hard time making a
40 yarder

Doesn't he not want to play at all if he doesn't start or was that fabricated

He played two series in the first half. Don’t think it’s an issue.

MBT is a good, solid qb, but he just can’t get it done. You need to be able to score TDs.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Bede should not be playing football in any league.

Ah, I just tuned in so I wasn't sure. Suppose he should start the rest of the way at this point

79% last year. Can't kick them outside of 40 but was pretty good at shorter range. No matter, he is probably back in Scotland.
