    aalgernon got a reaction from Mark F in 3 stars plus hh down town Dru brown   
    I think the hit should pretty clearly have been called RTP. The defender had plenty of time to stop, or try to maneuver around Collaros.
    I'm actually finding it a little strange how people are framing the matter of "intent" or "maliciousness", Stegall and Dunnigan included. As far as I can tell, Ealy chose to land on Collaros unnecessarily. The suggests that he did intend to hurt him, making the hit, in fact, malicious. It wasn't the most egregious hit I've ever seen, but I don't think calling it dirty is unfair.
    Hope he gets a suspension.

    What games have we lost because of roster management? I agree with your premise that opinions shouldn't be automatically **** on, but I see no proof that your's is correct yet. At the one third point of the season, yes Toronto appears to be a better team...although we haven't played them yet and I see nothing to suggest roster management has cost us a game? 
    I'm not defending the roster management at all, as it could be better. However, my eyeballs have seen other reasons for our two losses. One of them, and I'm surprised you haven't mentioned this todaso, being some of our vets not playing well.

    I'm not stressed or worried about the team at all. And McGuire looked like garbage today.

    Neat, thanks for the info. Would be more appealing with a FireTV or Android app though. 
     
    Thanks also. This does seem like the most straightforward option.
     
    I appreciate all the responses. If I'm being honest, I may stick to secondary sources for streams for the time being.

    You bet Sask to cover the 6 point spread and the under, didn’t you?   
    No roster tricks, Reilly was dressed and on the field, which meant he could go in at any time.

    You know, travelling long distances to visit someone one cares about isn't as rare a thing as you might think, but it's a lot more common when you have the means, that I'll grant you.  By the way, I'm not suggesting that Dressler isn't a good guy for doing this, I'm quite sure he is.  I just find it sad when we celebrate simple humanity.  It doesn't seem all that long ago that it was more of a given than an event.

    aalgernon got a reaction from Goalie in CFL Schedule Change a Bad Idea   
    Do people  really watch the NHL in June? Sure, if the Jets were in the Stanley Cup it'd be nuts, but who cares if the Lightning are playing the Golden Knights or whatever. Suppose the CFL season moves back three weeks, and the Grey Cup is the first weekend in November. Doesn't that mean there's only one potential week of overlap, which, in all likelihood, translates into one, maybe two CFL games? I can't see that being such a big issue.
    That said, I'm pretty impartial one way or the other. If the Grey Cup is in Winnipeg in November, I'll go, and not care too much about the weather. It is disappointing how the attendance drops with the temperature, however, and if there were a way to mitigate that a bit, I'd be for it.

    I honestly don’t see a down side in moving the schedule. Cold games keeps fans away, and the conflict with baseball early in the season can’t be worse than conflict with hockey late in the season.
    The notion that November football is a ‘distraction’ from the cold weather prior to the holiday season is poetic, I guess, but it’s never crossed my mind.

    The jury is still out on Thorpe. He looked okay in his limited playing time but was hardly a dominant receiver.

    I don't know, on the West Side it was 20 degrees and sunny the whole game. The big screen TVs they put in everywhere were awesome and the personal attendants were quick with whatever libations were needed. Never a line for anything. 
    I guess the only conclusion is that East Side sucks. But don't take it from, just ask anyone else on the West Side.

    A 12-6 record is legit - we won a lot of tough games. We are as good as our regular season record suggests. Doesn't mean we don't need to be better in the playoffs, though.

    God, I hope you're right. Your combination of username and this post at least make me feel somewhat optimistic.
    Re: fake punt; definitely the turning point. Not saying that play alone was the reason we lost, but it was certainly the beginning of the end. It just wasn't the right time or place for it, around our 40 yard line. Way more potential risk than potential reward. Wait at least until we're on their side of the field.
