@PeterDyakowski CFL fans are stuck in dinosaur mode. Every other league has made changes to their playoff format. The CFL has the most negative fan base in all professional sports.

Stewart Johnston's basic premise for all that he does is that CFL fans will "get past it". What if many eventually don't? His gambling with the heritage which was entrusted to him as Commissioner is incredibly reckless. Limited upside, massive downside risk. No thank you!

@Priceyfm @PeterDyakowski Many have been calling for the elimination of divisions for years because of the so-called inferior East. I think this is a great way to address this without losing the divisions.

@PeterDyakowski Who wanted this? Who was saying that the playoffs needed to be better. I’m not against change I just can’t understand fixing something that wasn’t broken or even a concern? It just seems like a commissioner that thinks he is more important than the fans.

I have big reservations above 8/9 making the playoffs. Understand that going from 5 to 9 playoff games creates value from TV, sponsors, gate for players and teams. But I don’t love it. Expansion would help. #CFL

@RealAlexD So if the regular season is useless, how do we seed the teams? I know. WPG SSK first always. Argos always last cuz they only have 9 fans and everyone hates them. Sound good? #IsItOctoberYet?

@LWillson_82 If you call the play in round a wildcard game, then everyone will love it because that's what the NFL does. But then the numpties will hate that because "eff the NFL" and you're ruining the game. Get rid of the forward pass and let's get back to the real Canadian game.

@tml_2122 @SteveBunda91 *CFL fans: the leagues needs to do something to make more money. *Also CFL fans: No explanation. It’s an attempt to keep more eyeballs glued to screens and more people in the seats late in the season and into the playoffs. It’s a revenue play. It’s stupid

I thought the CFL did a good job with the rule changes they announced last year. This new playoff format is awful and ruins the look of the league. Why play the regular season? I need someone to give me an explanation to how this is better than the current format.

@SteveBunda91 doesnt give the players much incentive to be the best athletically at the start does it?

@AngVarv @TSNDaveNaylor Seriously, outside of Québec or Halifax, what other option in Canada is there? I don't think southern Ontario can handle another CFL team on top of the 3 we have plus the Bills.

@TSNDaveNaylor Expansion is definitely a must now. Even if it’s in the US.

@TSNDaveNaylor That said, a few more teams (12?) Would make this approach awesome.

@TSNDaveNaylor I don't hate this. Teams that squeak in and truly suck, will be lucky to make it to the elimination round. Great for the fans who would otherwise be turning to NFL or NHL. Or God forbid, USPORTS.

@TSNDaveNaylor Dave, issue is messaging. This should NOT be announced playoff format change. Rather a ‘Play-In’ round is added. Top 2 teams in each div play for bye to west/east final. Teams 3,4 in each div play for semi-final birth. BOOM; much easier to understand and no stupid 8/9 narrative

@TSNDaveNaylor Dave just cover the NFL and leave the CFL for someone who loves it. Nobody in ONTARIO loves the CFL.

Tre Ford has signed with the Tiger-Cats per reports. Ford was recently released by the Elks after spending several seasons with them as a starter and backup. What do you make of this reported pick up? #Ticats #CFL

@surreycanuck6 Disagree with your take, but it is apparent that the bulk of corporate sponsorship comes from Canada!

Friendly annual reminder: No other country cares about the World Juniors like Canada does. Thank your friends at TSN for brainwashing you into thinking this is a popular tournament outside of your living room.
