At its press conference Friday, the CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon said not to worry about the growing of the NFL in Toronto, where the Buffalo Bills intend to contest a Annual match in the coming years.
"I will not speculate on that, Cohon said Friday. This is the week of the Gray Cup, it's time to talk about our league, and I am confident that our base of supporters remains strong, particularly in southern Ontario. In this region we have received very high ratings listening at the classic Labor Day.
"If the ratings were listening to the decline in this region during the semi-finals and finals association, for the first time in our history, we had no team of Ontario who was involved."
Cohon has also indicated that once Ottawa back in the CFL, the league will examine more closely the imbalance between eastern and western sections in the number of teams. The rule allowing the formation of a fourth section to access the series if he has a better description than the third place team from another section could jump to that time.
Cohon has said, however, skeptical that one day a league single-section.
"He should consider it in financial terms, he said. The success of this league is based on ticket sales, and promote regional rivalries ticket sales. There would also travel costs to consider. I think it would be difficult to be accepted by the board of governors. "
The commissioner expressed optimism that the CFL withstand the current economic crisis.
"We are not immune to the weather, but we believe that the league is well positioned compared to other sports leagues because it has deep roots in the community. We remain a product accessible and inexpensive. "
The Commissioner also said that the league was on track to invest in equipment that will enable the officials to have a "command center" in Toronto, much like the NHL, where all matches will be monitored by video and where leaders will be asked to decide where some decisions of officials will be challenged.
The league will also consider ways to ensure that the quarters are better protected.
He scored 56.24 points per game average this season in the CFL, the sixth total in the annals of the circuit, "said Commissioner Mark Cohon. This is an increase of 14.5 percent compared with last year.
Cohon has also indicated that the number of penalties awarded had declined by 23 per cent, which also improved the quality of the show, according to the Commissioner.
We should not rely on the fact that the Alouettes have suffered defeat in their two games against the Stampeders in the regular season, to predict the pace of the meeting Sunday, according to Marc Trestman.
"In our first match (against Calgary), we had not found our identity as a team, the coach noted Bird. That was the case of attack, but particularly the defensive, which followed different paths this year in terms of defensive schemes.
"Then, in the second game, we lacked concentration and lost our calm, but we have grown to that level since. We have learned a lot about ourselves, like them elsewhere."
If there is still worried about the form of Anthony Calvillo 1-4 in Cup matches Gray, Marc Trestman is not part of the group.
"His past performance is not a reliable indicator of what he will do Sunday," said Trestman. It is now a man of maturity. And then, he has not won or lost, these games - there alone. No game does not define a man, although the public tends to perceive things that way. The players will be critical anyway, no matter what they do.
"Anthony is at a stage of his life where he savors every moment. It will savor the moment, and then afterwards he will move on to something else and enjoy the next time."
It has been many cases statements of Henry Burris, that there was a lack of respect towards that Stampeders because individual trophy went to a player on this team, Thursday night at the annual gala LCF. It is perhaps a way for Stamps to motivate, but Marc Trestman, the coach of the Alouettes, is not a fan of this approach.
"You will not see this on our bulletin board, said Trestman. This kind of thing is a trap, a trap t'éloigne what you must do to get ready for the match. Ultimately, these are things that mean nothing, which are only fun for amateurs. "
