You look a bit peaked. I'd call in sick as you don't look well.

He was shell shocked. Did you see his facial expression on the play he was sacked & lost his helmet? He was done. How many times did we see that expression with Drew Willy?

That happened to my father in the 1960's. A cop noticed him driving erratically but never pulled him over. They followed him home & he narrowly missed our fence pulling into the driveway. Cops gets out & tells my father if he had hit the fence he'd have been charged with drunk driving. He never gave him a ticket even though he was inebriated. Just one more day in the life of my late father. I loved him so much but he was so lucky with his driving over the years. Never had an accident or a ticket. But what heartbreak our family suffered with him because of his alcoholism. My mother was the strongest person I have known. She kept her marriage & our family together through all that chaos. It also is hard to cope when you're a 10 year old & you realize the man you admire the most in life is an alcoholic & is different from all the dads your friends have. Just makes me sad thinking about it.

The other thing is Reilly is supposed to be tough & he is. But he doesn't like getting hit & he'll rush his throws or make bad decisions if he's constantly being hit.,

The deep ball only worked a couple of times last night. No sympathy for those poor Esks as that was their bread & bvutter for years with Reilly. Take that away & he's just an average qb. He can't lead his team downfield on 10 or 12 play drives very often. On one deep ball it looked like it was blown coverage or the BC dbs forgot how to cover downfield. Like watching 11 year olds covering a deep ball. No clue.

Well, it's been years of ineptitude there. I'm not surprised.

That's all he does. Chuck it deep. He always got away with a lot but circumstances are catching up with him.

Close only counts in horseshoes.

It does make a difference.

Even Krekor knew he'd have to make a name change.

Give Ottawa fans credit. They're making a lot of noise. Just a great atmosphere.

Beast mode fumble.

Well, a CFL record. In the NFL they don't use a kicking tee. The ball is kicked right off the grouns.

I would feel the same way if it was a Bomber who did it. I grew up with an alcoholic father. I saw stuff that most people haven't. Absolutely no sympathy from me for anyone who drinks & drives. Puts others at risk.

You mean gathering evidence the way OJ did? There had to evidence at all the golf courses Simpson used to frequent back in the 90's.

Who is that?

Maybe the Rider Prez stepped in. Anyway, one game is better than none. Our league is pretty effed up at times.

Only one point. To have something to complain about.

He was tough. Always shrugged it off in like 15 seconds. They don't make Private Eyes like that anymore.

Frank Rigney 1957

One of my father's favourite shows. I remember as a kid watching Mannix with him. He loved Cannon, Gunsmoke & Bonanza.

I used to have a lot of respect for Hughes. Classy Stamps player but if it was all about the sack numbers in Calgary it seems that's all he's totally about now. He disappears for entire games now if he doesn't pressure the qb & when it comes to stopping the run. And now, this. Lost a ton of respect for him. Even his quote today about having support & people rallying behind him to help him get through this. Dude, just doesn't get it. This ain't about anyone helping him cope. It's about being stupid & putting other people lives in danger. I'm sure a couple of sacks will put things right.

What is it with players that play in Saskatchewan & lose their minds?

I guess Assiniboia Downs replaced Polo Park? Can you imagine how far out of town Headingley would have been in 1957?
