TSN should pick up OUA/CIS football games

With the Rogers communication focused on 12 seasons of NHL and try to put TSN out of business they will leave other sports on the sidelines. The first one they have discarded is OUA football that is part of the reason one of their stations (SN360) gained a following when it was the score along with millions of different names for the station. I really do not know if they will miss that they will not be getting viewers for regular season for OUA games because they still be the station broadcasting the CIS football playoff bowl games along with CIS men and women's hockey championship games. It would be perfect for TSN especially with three brand new channels coming Sunday to pick up OUA/CIS football regular season games because they can bring in part of their CFL viewership to watch the games because these are the dudes in a year or two could be starting in the CFL. They could educate their audience that this is where players like Jon Cornish, Chris Getzlaf, and Andre Durie learned their craft. It is likely that just like Sportsnet and their 6 channels they have a number of channels showing the same thing but also just like Sportsnet does when they need to they put MLB games on West and Pacific to get must see TV on and make it useful to have all channel. It has been done very successful that one station broadcasts regular season games (the score) and the bowl games on a different station (TSN). It will also help to get viewership to TSN that they lost when they lost the national broadcast rights for the NHL and start new as almost a brand new Sports station that has to reeducate the sports audience. So TSN needs to pick up what Sportsnet feels is not necessary anymore Tom Mehegan

Elliotte Friedman in hot water

Elliotte Friedman is in very hot water over two tweets Tuesday morning about Tim Leiweke and how long Tim will be sticking around with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment and he tweeted that he would be leaving soon. So the hot water is because MLSE and Leiweke went out of their way to throw cold water on the situation by saying that he (Leiweke) is focused on upcoming seasons (Raps/Leafs), So lets get real Elliot is a extremely honest gentleman and stated in the past that he just does not through things out without knowing his stuff. Like when he reports a trade/free agent signing he makes sure that he dots his i's and crosses his t's before he reports anything on radio, tv, or tweeter. MLSE has to be one of the dishonest organizations in sports and throw the wool over their very loyal hockey fan base all the time because their fans for the most part follow the team with blind faith and eat up every word this team sends out to their fans. Leiweke is looking for a new challenge and it may be because of the disaster that NFL coming to Toronto which is not going to the City right now as it looks like the money to keep the Bills in Western New York. His wife has reported to have moved back to LA again and the rumors have been around for a while and if LA had a no movement claus with him when they allowed him to move North it looks like it is up soon. Leiweke has been a very loud barking dog but unlike the past barking dogs there is a big bite behind his bark as he has put Masai in charge of the raps while helping get Drake on board with the Raps and got someone in charge with tfc and gave them everything that need to put the team in a winning situation. Elliotte has been a very smart dude and in the end he will be proven right but until than he will be taken unnecessary lumps until MLSE finally comes clean Tom Mehegan

P.K. Subban agrees to eight year contract

It was very close to the time of the arbitrator ruling in the P.K. Subban vs the Montreal Canadiens arbitration case but the Canadiens finally came to their senses and sign P.K. Subban to a 8-year deal worth 72 million. So that takes the Norris trophy winner to the age of 32 and by that time he will be a smarter defenseman with a few more seasons still after this contract. If the Canadiens decided to go with the arbitrator ruling it would not end well for them as P.K. was extremely upset with having to sit through the arbitration that he would either take another one year deal to get to free agency or ask for a trade. The deal is a good deal as P.K. gets his money while the 5.2 billion will raise the salary cap by leaps and bounds by the end of the deal to mid to high 80's. So this will mean that the 8 million cap hit will make it possible to build around P.K. and goalie Carey (Price) to build the Canadiens into Stanley cup contender and help bring Lord Stanley back home. So everything is right with the world Tom Mehegan
