Start of CFL regular season arrives at perfect time to take spotlight off of off-field issues
The 2024 campaign kicks off Thursday night in Winnipeg with the Blue Bombers hosting the Montreal Alouettes in a Grey Cup rematch.
Then the CFL Players’ Association launched an appeal against the CFL for denying it access to the full report that led to Kelly’s suspension. The Argos, Kelly’s camp and the former coach’s legal representatives all received an executive summary, not copies of the full 87-page report. “I think the main focus is just to stay in the present moment,” said Alouettes linebacker Darnell Sankey. “We really don’t know much, we just know he’s here now and we’re happy to have him the only thing we can do is just focus on the present.”Lemon’s situation took an interesting turn last week when the B.C. Lions signed American defensive lineman Demetrious Taylor. He spent most of 2022 on the Detroit Lions practice roster, dressing for one game before being released in May 2023.
And teams in the league’s top three markets – B.C., Toronto and Montreal – all experienced positive returns. The Argos’ game day revenue increased 41.1 per cent while the Alouettes were up 13.5 per cent and Lions had a 12.3 per cent boost. “We’re not really concerning ourselves with the challenge of going back-to-back because there’s going to be a lot of new faces in this that aren’t going to go on back-to-back,” Montreal head coach Jason Maas said. “Our end goal will never be not stated as a Grey Cup, that’s a ninth Grey Cup for this franchise is what we’re all looking for.
