The USFL and XFL are merging for the upcoming year, and apparently the XFL lost $60M last year. I think both of those leagues were ZIRP phenomena, and I'd guess that the combined league fails in the next 12 months.
The CFL has always gone through up and down, and I think there is some optimism from this year. There are some decent young-ish QBs in Edmonton, Toronto (I thought even their backup looked good the other day against Winnipeg), and Ottawa; TV viewership is apparently up, etc.
I think with savvy leadership the CFL can still be relevant.
As for the Stamps, DD has been running pretty much the exact same offence for years now, which I think is part of the problem. I think they should boot DD to the GM role, hire a new coach, and sign Chris Streveler for next year.
The Stamps also need a new stadium at some point - though not sure how that will ever come to fruition. Nobody wants to watch a game in a 63 year old stadium.
