Exactly, and there have been doctors and nurses out there refusing the vaccine for various reasons and those are the ones the anti-vax, anti-mask crowd point to and say "See even these medical professionals don't trust the vaccine"... Some doctors come out of Med school with a 4.0+ GPA, others around 3.0 or possibly less (not sure what the fail mark is), but at the end of the day, they are all called doctor once they're done.

An opinion piece written mostly by people with a Ph.D. in History... not sure they actually know what they are talking about in this case. The fact that vaccinations, masking and lockdowns have worked to reduce case spread throughout the world proves this to be wrong. What's going on down in Florida does as well.

I get that Duke made a lot of catches when he was up here, but I felt like most of them should have been penalized. Every time he went up for a 50/50 ball, he pushed off the defender to get space and make the catch. I'm not a pro scout or anything, so I don't know much, but that's what I remember about Duke's time in the CFL.

The biggest issue that I saw with the receivers, especially Lawler which was a surprise, was that whenever they had the wide open, easy catches, they were peaking to see where they were going to run just as the ball was arriving and ended up dropping it. Saw Lawler do it 3 or 4 times, Bailey once or twice, and I think a few other guys here and there throughout the game. Those were the difference between 1st down and 2 and out. There were enough of them that they could never get any drives going and give the D a rest.

I'm gonna go with Kenny Lawler this week.

I watched a replay of that one very closely (1:40 on the video below), and while I saw 2 guys jump, they were set back when they started, so they may not have actually crossed into the neutral zone before the snap of the ball. From the angle shown, the guy at the bottom of the line (40) was very close. An argument could be made that it was a 50/50 call by the ref, but I think he did end up offside, so yeah, missed call.

I'm hoping that it gets administered in schools. This would be the fastest way to get to all the kids quickly (once it's approved). My 9 year old is much like your 7, continuously asking when she can get her shot.

I think one thing that lots of people forget is that there is a cost to taking cash as well, it just isn't as visible as the 1% or 2% that you pay to the credit card companies. You need to pay someone to make sure there is enough of a float at each register, and then you need to pay people to count the cash and reconcile that against the sales receipts. On top of that, someone to deal with depositing the cash, and then doing it all over again for the next game/event. I don't know if it equates to 1% per transaction, but there is definitely a cost to taking cash.

I've gotta not pick Oliveira next week so he can score.

I'm going with Brady Oliveira again this week.

While I agree with you, allowing those to go uncalled allows players to get away with cheap shots away from the play that could cause problems in the longer term.

Yeah, there was that guy, there were 2 on the East side upper deck near me, and Bubba posted a picture of what I presume to be him and 3 friends all decked out in their fur coats.

I said the same thing to my dad at the game, "Two plays in a row to Banks, if he gets one more he's going to go whining to the coach". On the flip side, I think there were at one point 3 or 4 in a row or maybe even something like 5 out of 6 plays in a row that went to Brady O. and he stayed in there ready for more.

Which one? I saw at least 7 of them.

Yeah, I think the issue is exactly as someone else said where they were going down the line and not just waiting in one spot. I got scanned by one guy, and then asked by 2 more if I had been checked yet. If they stay in one spot, nobody gets missed, but I think they were trying to make sure it didn't slow down the lines at all. I'm hopeful that even if they did miss some people, that they were vaccinated because everybody should have known that it was a requirement to get it.

I saw a helicopter at one point too, so I figured that's what they were using for those outside the stadium shots. Good stuff either way.

Yeah, I saw one hovering above the West side, in the first half. Likely the same one you saw, and I had the same thought.

That was disappointing. I would have liked to see more masks being worn, especially on the concourses.

I have to re-watch the game, but it seemed to me on the kickoff for the 3rd quarter, Hansen made a similar tackle on the kick returner as the one in the Grey Cup last year. Did anyone else see that?

No issues on the East side upper deck. Looking at the concourse on the West side though, I can imagine the lines were a nightmare.

No drones, they have the sky cam on the cable system like the NFL has, and like they usually do for the Grey Cup game. Hopefully they have it for all games now.

A little late for this reply, but no, they didn't boo the free part, they Blue the free part... "God keep our land, glorious and BLUE!!!"

My kid will be wearing a mask in school whether it is required or not... at least until she is fully vaccinated.

I'm at Gate 2 as well.
