This suggestion just makes sense.
I talked with a member of the CFL Players Association this week and he said the group would like to make a gigantic change to the game as we know it.
Not in the rules or anything like that but in the timing of the season.
The idea is moving the whole season up a month.
That would mean starting training camps in early May, the season in early June and staging the Grey Cup game in late October.
That would certainly, at least for the most part, eliminate the weather problems in places such as Regina and Winnipeg on Grey Cup day.
Plus, said the member, they could utilize the fact the final would be played on or near Halloween Day for purposes of adding more fun to the production.
But by moving it further away from Christmas, there could be more money to be spent and a better chance of getting fans to travel to watch the final.
