  games slow showing up on watch.tsn.ca?

I don't have cable and rely on watching the games online at
watch.tsn.ca. Usually the games show up there the morning after, but
this week none of the games have shown up so far. The most recent game
listed in the "CFL games on-demand" is from July 4. Has there been a
policy change with putting games up right away or something?

Cheers,
Mike

With the OL playing as it is, and a healthy Cahoon and Watkins

Will be a parity season in CFL this year, but whoever counts the Als
out from Grey Cup are nuts

They're decimating defenses right now

Gonna tell me they're not worried about the Bills in Toronto ?

Not a bad ad actually, as these things go.

I think the business numbers tell the whole story, and tell us nothing
at all at same time about the cultural debate at hand :

CFL: 8, NFL: 32

Games per season
CFL: 18, NFL: 16

Avg. player salary
CFL: CDN $60,000, NFL: US $1.4 million

Avg. player height
CFL: 6' 1", NFL: 6' 1.5"

Avg. player weight
CFL: 228 lbs, NFL: 245 lbs

T.V. contract value
CFL: Reputed to be $16 million CDN annually with TSN
NFL: Reputed to be US $ 3.7 billion annually with NBC, CBS, FOX, ESPN,
and the NFL Network

Advertising revenue
CFL Grey Cup: CDN $110,000 for a 30-second spot

  CBC-less CFL

I'm sure TSN will do a good job broadcasting all 72 regular season
games live, and RDS covers all 18 Montreal games, but just won't be
the same without the MotherCorp

I'm not a big fan of change....I like tradition

Ah well, time moves inexorably onwards

  Calvillo looks good

Printers not so much, and the Alouettes' offensive line makes
mincemeat of the Ti-Cats.

23-3 should have been a bigger blowout than that

Go Als ! I had my doubts about naming Calvillo starting QB this year,
but....

Duncan O'Malley broke his toe walking around the hotel room at night.

Current placekicker will take over. Westwood not invitied back.

But you know he will be.
