Vanishing Million Bucks

$50,000 for 20 years would be pretty sweet, but for one little glitch, the ref threw done the flag and never picked it up again.

I can barely watch the CFL anymore for bogus calls.

I agree, what a let down for the person who won and then getting it called back. They're ruining the game with these constant appeals and challenges.

I made a post earlier but it never appeared so quick summary of it

CFL total joke

Pro league with soccer lines on field?

Officials on par with rodeo clowns the way they look and act.

Embarrassing to watch the tv cameras on the sidelines in the players area and the Miked up thing is awful.

Agreed, too many calls, slows the game. Anytime there is a big exciting play, u just cannot enjoy it anymore, as most likely there is a flag on the play. If the cfl dont fix this fast, viewership will coninue to drop.

We now interrupt this penalty for a few minutes of our game.

In the past it was only the "blind" Refs call...done. And you knew damn well someone is going to be unhappy because it's always against one of two sides.... so game delays from challenges won't change that outcome.

Today you can squarely blame the delays on technology..... instant replays from multiple angles, forward and backwards, over and over again. With team staff poring over video on devices before the deadline to "throw the challenge flag" lapses. It definitely interrupts the flow of the game, for everyone, imagine the players, momentum of a steam rolling offense interrupted and a battered defense regrouping. One hour of play time stretched to two and a half to three hours. Which maybe isn't the worst thing... Video replay does create some suspense and debate.
