[phaneuf_train]

What does it take for it to not be blacked out? A sell out or something?

[JBR]

Not blacked out in HD. The stupid thing is that I've tried to turn on the Lions home games the last couple of weeks to find it blacked out in HD, but available in SD.

Obviously, they determine the HD blackout status based on the Lions.

In the CFL, it is the team's choice.

I believe that for the last couple of seasons, each team has been required to lift the local blackout on a minimum of 2 games per season. The Stamps always lift Labour Day and usually the Riders game because those games always sell out.

At one time, the Stamps' rule was that if they had sold at least 35,000 tickets by the Wednesday of the week before the game, they would lift the blackout.

Best game as a Stamp by Burris..incredible effort and making clutch plays two in OT alone, and one to get the game to OT in the first place.

If Warrener can't go on the ice, put him on the field, they need a leader, and one ever since they lost Grace. That was as embarassing as the 1999-00 Flames defense, and wouldn't be surprised if Creehan gets the boot.
