Wow what a stuff on the goal line.

This bridge will not cross. Brilliant Rod. Just brilliant.

What was funny to me was after almost every big defensive play Hurl would finally get to the scene of the tackle at the end of the play (as he was usually 20 yards away from the ball for some reason) and try to give all the Bomber D high fives and fist bumps and most of them just turned and walked away. Pretty hilarious. Not sure why he has to do that either, but I wish he would just go join the cheerleaders on the sideline.

What's with all of the Peach hate? I guess I don't know enough about DL play to have an informed opinion either way. I do know watching Hurl play that that isn't what I want my MLB doing. If I can see it, it must be pretty blatant.

I remember Chris Schultz saying how back in his day no one wanted to play against Winnipeg's D because they were so intimidating...

I was watching Bob McCown the other day and one of the guys on the show was saying that once the Jays came to town it hurt the Argos because now Torontonians think they are too good for the CFL. "Who wants to see Toronto play a team from Saskatchewan when I can watch Toronto play the New York Yankees". Different sports of course, but the guy sounded like a typical Toronto putz and exactly the kind of person that makes sure Canada stays united in its universal hatred of Toronto.

I don't know about the Brink. I've been watching it but I'm not overly sold on it.

I remember Suitor saying something about how Picard might get hit in the pocketbook after one play but I can't remember what happened.

Ryan Smith, Chad Owens and Weston Dressler say hello. I am starting to see why size doesn't really matter in the CFL at the receiver position. Speed is what kills.

Keep in mind it is a Monday game for Calgary and it stormed like hell in parts of Calgary all afternoon and there was a chance of it storming again in the evening (even though it turned out nice) so it's not surprising there was a smaller turnout. Also --- it was the first day right after the calgary stampede ended. Historically there are two types of people in calgary. Those who stay in town for stampede and those who say screw this and plan vacations around stampede. It starts about a week before stampede and goes for a good week or two after --- lots of people pack up the rv's and leave town. Monday night game in calgary is also a no brainer for lack of attendance. We did have crappy weather that can turn in a dime --- I work not far from Mcmahon and we had nasty rain all afternoon then cleared up around 4pm. Either way --- traffic has been light all week telling you a ton of people simply are out of town. Toronto has attendance? LOL. They haven't had fans attending games since ... oh... 2007 In 2012 the averaged over 23000. For a city/drawing area of over 6 million? That's pretty impressive.

Anyone notice that the Trivago guy this year looks like he actually went to a clothing store, and a barber, and also doesn't look like he's hung over?

On the contrary that eliminates the QB sprint to the corner. You can't lump Marve in with Goltz that easily. For all of Goltz's faults... he was actually pretty money in the redzone (just couldn't actually get the ball into the redzone) yeah red zone TD's and standing around in the background in commercials seems to be his thing.

I knew there was something fishy about that guy. His card was also a sponge. Works on a contingency? No! Money down.

This negotiation with the Ti-Cats was his biggest success since his lawsuit against the Never-Ending Story.

No cast on his hand, so that's a good sign. Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming No cast on BT's injured hand, which is a positive sign. He's likely out a couple weeks. #Bombers https://twitter.com/Blitz_Turner/status/621695174972829697 …

was Sears hurt almost immediately afterwards?

ahem. We are CFL fans...so we'll be loyal to our sponsors... in 2014 I had to have a triple bypass because I had eaten 4000 baconators in July alone.

We had a terrible case here in BC where John Furlong, the former CEO of the Vancouver Olympics, was wrongfully accused of sexual abuse in residential schools in the 1960's. It turns out the three accusers weren't even at the school when Furlong was there, but all of this came out much later after Furlong was dragged through a long trial. How does this stuff happen? Why? http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/john-furlong-accusations

Yeah the Entourage vibe comes from having Mark Wahlberg as the producer. Its very like the Entourage as well in that they have guest stars from the NFL (current and past players and coaches) playing versions of themselves, much like Entourage has a lot of movie stars playing themselves, and as Entourage was supposed to be a glimpse of sorts into how Hollywood works this show is supposed to be a glimpse into how the NFL operates, including contract negotiations etc. I like it, it's pretty funny, and the Rock is pretty good in his role as a newly retired NFL player trying to become a financial manager while dealing with his past concussion history and lingering pain/painkiller addiction, and also trying to retain a shred of integrity. I highly recommend it to football fans. The slam on Saskatchewan was the first CFL reference I've seen so far, but I expect a few more. What is funny is that the Rock actually played for Calgary in 1995. He attended training camp. He wasn't good enough to make the team. He played for two months in 1995 and then was cut from Calgary's P/R, according to what I have found. His dad is Canadian, wrestler Rocky Johnson, and the Rock has dual Canadian/US citizenship. I did not know that. Under current CFL rules, if he played in the CFL, the Rock would be considered a National player. The Rock in 1995 with Calgary:

The way Greaves was getting bulldozed and turn-styled last game I wouldn't be surprised if he's sitting this week.

I put this is one thread already, but it is appropriate for this one as well...

Maybe Rennie Curran has offered McCoil a partnership in his motivational speaking business. I also am frustrated with the CFL losing players to NFL practice rosters. Its a sad state of affairs to see players leave for more money to just sit and do nothing in the NFL. All you have to do is watch HBO's "Ballers" to see what US players think of the CFL, as if we didn't already know.
