So here’s the Future of Football commemorative T-shirt they were giving away at the #Toronto #Argonauts game today. It features at total of six Doug Flutie action poses — three as an Argonaut, three as a #Buffalo #Bills pivot. One size fits most; one to a customer.

Like a lot of Argos fans, I was shocked when this #MLSE - Bills partnership was announced a few weeks ago. There’s a long read in here somewhere; one of these days I wouldn’t mind taking a whack at it.

Today was Fan Appreciation Day at BMO Field, which was welcome after this year’s miserable game-day experience due to World Cup-related construction there. It was also Future of Football day, marking the partnership between the #Toronto #Argonauts, #MLSE, and the #Buffalo #Bills to increase youth participation in football. Former Bills quarterback Jim Kelly (yes, Chad’s uncle) and former Argos (among other places) pivot Doug Flutie appeared at field level at halftime. #CFL #PullTogether

Pelley is making a concerted effort here — understandably so — to frame these rule changes as a benefit to the players, to the fans, and to the Canadian game as a whole. The timing of the league’s announcement is, however, a little disconcerting, coming as it does less than two weeks after #MLSE announced its marketing partnership with the NFL’s Buffalo Bills; it will do little to lower the raised hackles of Double Blue diehards.
