To paraphrase Doug Brown, he's with his brother. They get to talk about each loss together and bond.

Kayaking on Lake Flathead in Montana today and what do I find?  A roughriders flag on a private pier:

So I grabbed some pebbles and left them a message:

 
 

Ehlers was a top 10 draft pick.   Anything is possible, but if he showed the same talent as Ehlers, size wouldn't have mattered.

I let people change their picks for the following reasons:
I lock voting at the start of the first game of the week to make administering / tracking easier.  This way I know no one made a pick after a game started. Since voting does get locked at the start of the first game, if someone is late, I don't want to penalize them for all 4 games of the week.  If you miss a full week of picks, very hard to remain competitive.  I'd rather more people continue to play than not. Since I let people who forgot to get their picks in still vote after voting is locked, it only makes sense to let people change a pick with the same rules. If I didn't allow this, more people may wait until later in the week to make their picks, then forget, then miss completely, this again can lead to a decrease in participation.  This option is open to everybody, so I don't see how it is unfair.   Unrelated stat, but I find it interesting.  Most years there are a lot of people who play the first couple of weeks, then trail off.  This is for any number of reasons.  People forget, fall behind, get busy with summer, who knows why.  This is the first year we had 41 people in week 1, and while a. few people missed a week here or there, we still have 41 people playing this week.  Good to see.

I definitely agree. Once the existing head coaches retire or die, we should just fold the league.

You already picked BC

Please change my pick from Skn to BC. Thanks again.

Please change my pick from Ham to Mtl.  Thanks.

Hi guys, just wanted to let you all know I’ve started to post condensed CFL games that show every play in 40-50 minutes. Mainly for fans that want to watch/rewatch the game in a faster manner, but still want to see every play. 
I’m hoping to do all Bomber games this season + some other CFL games. Let me know how I can make the videos better, feedback is much appreciated. Enjoy and Go Blue!

For those looking at going to the Bomber game in Calgary:
 
 

We can't pay him what he will likely get in free agency.  Don't think this changes anythying.

Welcome home

But only if one is a sneak?

I mean there was Zach getting 0 playing time in the 2nd preseason game last year.  And it showed early that the offence was not ready.  

Then there was this quote from O’Shea himself.

Looks like I missed voting this week... I could have sworn that I had done it.
If I can still make picks for the two remaining games this week, I would go with Calgary and Hamilton.  I definitely would have picked Winnipeg and likely Montreal, but I missed the boat on those ones.

Which is why sneaks count and always will.

Ottawa is so bad
