Someone in one of the teams had a cover that matched the team helmet colours a couple weeks back, but I can't remember which team.

I don't disagree that passing on the shoulder is stupid, it absolutely is, and it drives me crazy when I see impatient people do it in some areas around here. My response was more to your comment about whether a person who has had 5-6 beers can drive. They may think that they can and likely get away with it a lot, but at the end of the day, their judgement and reaction time are impaired whether they think so or not.

They may think that they are not impaired, but they are. Reaction time and decision making is not the same as if they hadn't had anything to drink, whether they "feel" it or not.

They said that they wanted to do that to increase scoring across the league. I would be curious to know what the average scores were before and after that change and if it had the intended effect.

That eliminates having the returner having to try to keep the ball in play on one that is close to the end line, and takes away an opportunity to score. I wouldn't change it at all.

Do not change the rules regarding the rouge, it is a great rule that is unique to the CFL and make the game more interesting. Even if the Bombers lost the game on a last second rouge, I would be saying the same thing, and I think it's ridiculous every time certain teams lose that this discussion comes up. It's part of the strategy in the game to make sure you are close enough to be able to make the kick and incentivizes the returners to run the ball out of the end zone on a miss. It is not a reward for missing a field goal, it is a reward for kicking the ball far enough, or stopping the returner from getting out of the end zone.

They didn't learn their lesson with Mike (Michael) Reilly when they gave him a ridiculous contract to lure him out of Edmonton and then couldn't afford any other pieces around him.

Pretty sure they've had that for the last number of games.

Did you really expect anything less from them?

What are the new security gates?

I think they saw something they didn't like (probably personel wise) and wanted to fix before the snap but the refs were slow to blow it down.

Does Suitor even know what he's talking about? Sask couldn't kill the clock because it was an incomplete pass so the clock was stopped.

Arguably we didn't lose to TO, the CC screwed up the non PI call on Demski which changed the game.

Replay looks like it was a clean shot to the chest.

I didn't think he was all that good last year, and he never should have won MOP. The only reason the team did as well as they did was because their defence played really well and kept them in games/won some games for them.

Link to Hamilton's depth chart because I don't have a place to upload images to and I haven't found any other source for it: https://static.cfl.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Depth-Chart-Roster-Week-12-vs.-WPG.pdf

It's Pokey as int Pokey Reddick, for some reason Lapo was saying it wrong in this and a segment on TSN, but I think Kate corrected him eventually.

The problem is that the primary alternative is SportsNet and they have a very strong disdain for the CFL. Also, as much as we complain about some of the play-by-play and colour guys on TSN, based on what SportsNet has for hockey coverage, I believe it would be much worse. I think the problem is that TSN knows that they don't have any real competition for the TV rights to the CFL, so they get away with phoning it in a bit.

He's been on the sideline the last number of games.

Hilarious how the panel is backpedalling on all of the hype for Rourke at half time.

Sadly looks like the ground forced that fumble and it'll be BC ball.

I was really hoping that his last stint in Edmonton would be the last we've seen of Chris Jones in the CFL.

Yet most of his missed throws are way over the receivers' heads.

He's got 4 kids, maybe some of them will be involved as well?

They were showing it before the call from the CC came in, so that's not likely.
