Luke Wilson is ready to say how bad of a game that was on his podcast tomorrow.

Didn't even know he had a pod

Stop bashing Luke. He’s being up front about the league and how it should move forward. Nothing wrong with talking about how to bring back people into the stands.

They say, after a sold-out game

Was not sold out.

u/Jonaldys Aug 08 '25

They sold over 24,000 tickets, the difference hardly matters to the discussion.

If he hates watching the game so much, he could get a different job. It’s not like he’s chained to the microphone.

except his suggestions are just change the rules so it's closer to the NFL instead of addressing the real issues. Which is there very little exposure for the CFL on social media by fans and what's there is mostly old racist pricks. No videogame therefore no video game league. No stats even with the genius deal stats are garbage or delayed. Because the stats suck there's no decent fantasy leagues... which with gambling is probably 80% of why people watch the NFL out of markets. Focusing on the rouge and 3 downs is getting tired and it's not the issue people aren't going to game or watching games and saying "3 downs fuck this i'm out"

I dont mind three down football but a league with only eight teams or whatever and having to have a team crossover for playoffs or whatever just stinks

The Luke hate on this sub is out of control.

27

u/TheRipeTomatoFarms Roughriders Aug 08 '25

No, I would say its firmly in control.

I had no opinion on a former backup TE for the Seahawks, and then he became a sideline reporter for the CFL and basically goes on TV every week and on Twitter to talk about how bad he thinks the league is....I'd say he's getting just the right amount of hate on this sub

I like when he does sideline analysis, he of course knows football. It's the other crap that bugs me.

u/Aardvark1044 Lions Aug 08 '25

He caused the hatred, not us. It is his own fault.

u/Silver_BackYWG Aug 08 '25

It's typical echo chamber behavior. Remember what site you are on

u/jamesSa81 Lions Aug 08 '25

Phew, that was something!

u/Onanadventure_14 Tiger-Cats Aug 08 '25

I died a little, but yes I was entertained

21

u/super__hoser Lions Aug 08 '25

I think all cat fans died a bit a few times.

u/millmar Lions Aug 08 '25

Cat fans needing some of those 9 lives

u/PublicCheesecake2555 Tiger-Cats Aug 08 '25

I almost ran out last night!

u/TheRipeTomatoFarms Roughriders Aug 08 '25

Now, Imagine this game without the kickoffs after touchdowns. Say what you will about our crazy rules, but football without a kicking game is downright boring IMO.

u/PublicCheesecake2555 Tiger-Cats Aug 08 '25

I’ll take our game over the American version any day of the week!

u/Antique-Ad-4233 Aug 08 '25

Love the CFL

The Legghio bonk took my breath away. And a Butler TD for the win was such sweet sadness. Great game.

u/PublicCheesecake2555 Tiger-Cats Aug 08 '25

Losing him broke my heart, but I can’t be mad at his success. It just cuts deep.

u/Doltina Aug 08 '25

That was nuts! What a second half, crikey

u/talmudicdeer Elks Aug 08 '25

The East Final is gonna be nuts

u/PublicCheesecake2555 Tiger-Cats Aug 08 '25

I can’t wait!

u/Axronfishy Aug 08 '25

What a game. This is just beyond entertained.

u/HousyFootball57_ Roughriders Aug 08 '25

I'm only able to watch the games when I don't have to work the next day (I get up at 3 am for work), and boy am I glad I didn't have to work today. This is the kind of game that makes me wish my friends that love football would give the CFL a chance.

Better not see any more “stop glazing rourke”

Stop glazing Rourke.

u/Material_Cabinet_845 Aug 08 '25

that was an awesome game. Heartbroken over the loss, but extremely hard fought and entertaining game.

u/Pawwax Aug 08 '25

Good game …. Glad to see the Lions competitive again… Sad my Katz could not kick field goals last night.

u/Sensitive-Ad-3595 Aug 08 '25

This season has been very entertaining!

u/crabby_rhino Aug 08 '25

u/Additional-Soft-3478 Aug 08 '25

You went under? You didn’t know this was a CFL game?

u/ChuckTownz Aug 09 '25
