Living in the same time zone as Anaheim, I happen to like the 5:00 pm starts. Actually, 4:00 pm is even better, just adds another hour to Crown Royal time.

You are a much bigger man than me, sir. I watched him live in the game the Bombers won in BC and he just didn't seem to give a crap. But maybe that's just my untrained football eye.

and then he should thank Brock Ralph for being his inspiration for the latter part of his CFL career.

Hoping that O'Shea's second year is a lot like Paul Maurice's second year.

I just went to the ticket site and it says Wednesday or Thursday.

Can anyone confirm that the first game is Thursday?

Looks like a half white-out going on. Probably appropriate given only half the actual team is playing.

Meanwhile Brendan Lemieux played in his first playoff game of the year and got an assist in the Colts win over North Bay, while here in Kelowna Josh Morrissey played his first game in six weeks tonight and got three assists as the Rockets pummelled Victoria 5-0. He's going to be a good one. http://www.kelownacapnews.com/sports/rockets/news/299435581.html

You sound like you are ready for marriage.

I can't stop watching this today...wish old Don Wittman was still alive to see the Jets flying in the playoffs once again.

It was very sweet as well to see the Douchebag Kings eliminated yesterday. That felt almost as good as it does when the Riders miss the playoffs. Almost.

surprised that he didn't say "what's hockey?"

I wonder if Pavs had a back to back to back to back to shut-out bonus clause in his contract? If so he'll probably want to play.

Fair enough. I'll second the comment that the Vancouver towel was totally original, Nielsen stood up on the bench and waved a towel as a white flag to the refs, who were totally screwing the Canucks with bad call after bad call. The fans of Vancouver responded and with King Richard Brodeur carried that team all the way to the finals. There's actually a statute outside Rogers Arena in Vancouver with Nielsen waving a towel.

Berra proved the saying last night "it ain't over till its over". Who said that again? Oh right Lenny Kravitz.

wish I could be there to celebrate, guess we'll just have to take to the streets of Kelowna instead...

Ok - sorry, but you were making some pretty unfounded accusations about a subject you don't know much about. Accusing the Bombers of using "Creative accounting" is actually a pretty serious accusation that you probably should be prepared to defend if you are going to throw it around. I would say it came from cash flow.

He did release the real numbers. Just because you don't understand them doesn't make them not real.

and this is why Kirk Penton is a writer for the Sun, and not a CPA.

That's not how accounting works. I know. Debt payments don't hit the income statement, they reduce the debt outstanding on the balance sheet. The only portion of a debt payment that hits the income statement is the interest portion of the payment, if there is any interest. Those here accusing the Bombers of "creative accounting" etc. don't know what they are talking about. They posted a $3.9 million profit. During a losing season. They put another $500K of cash into their emergency fund. All that means is that they had cash come in that covered their operating costs, paid the debt payment, and STILL had $500K left to throw into their emergency fund. All of this is GREAT NEWS and yet, why I am surprised there are people here that are pissing all over it. Just unbelievable.

Yup - worth the loss of a point, in that it's brought us a lot of points since. Still, if we had that point right now...

Flames fans wore red when the team was in white. Seemed to turn out alright. I'm not saying you're wrong, but if we start following what ******* FLAMES *fans* are doing........then I'm all the way out..... I don't think you are getting it, the Flame "fans" copied Winnipeg. Winnipeg was the innovator. The only thing that comes close for originality was the towel power of the 1982 Canucks.

Watched a game here last week - Rockets vs. Tri-Cities - playoff game. Comrie stood on his head but Tri-Cities still lost. He looked really sharp. Not bad for a rich kid.
