2726...Unless We Get Our Way We Are...

...Taking our ball and leaving.

That is what is being widely reported that the Hamilton Tiger Cats are threatening to do.

The Ottawa Sun reports that they have a genuine $17,000,000.00 offer to move to Quebec City, which, by the way, is one of the only markets in Canada that has a sufficient population to support a CFL club.

The other cities, sans CFL cities, that in my view could support a team, would be Ottawa and Windsor. Problem with both towns is the same problem that is vexing the current Hamilton ownership: stadium issues. And in Windsor the competition with the NFL and NCAA teams would make a team in that town a great risk. In Quebec City [and Ottawa] not so much.

Let's see how this plays out. Quebec City would probably be a great town for the CFL. It certainly has embraced the Rouge et Or of Laval and was a brilliant host for the Vanier Cup.
