you really think that becoming a minority in the USA is "losing everything?"

oh, I definitely don't think the sentiment is a false one ... plenty of good people on both sides, as the man says ... but fake photos put things into question.

Snopes says this photo is a fake. The trump movement is plenty ugly in reality, when you spread fake stuff about it, you legitimize all its fakenews whining.

It's a pretty tough catch on a slick field, moving full speed one way and the ball lands behind your back hip. Rod Black called it a drop but I don't think so.

where do you even come up with this stuff? the first play, the pass to Dressler, is a great call with 1:10 to go in a tie game with the ball on your 30. If that play works, Dressler get hit in stride with no Eskimo within 5 yards. Easy jog for 10-15 and likely out of bounds too, putting us on the 40 with more than a minute left and needing just a rouge to win. But Streveler missed the throw, maybe because he had to throw around #94. and look at the second play. his eyes are on the short side of the field until the pocket collapses, and everyone on that side was going long enough to exit the TV screen. His first read looks pretty much like a midrange or downfield shot there. But he gets flushed and chased to the wide side (again by #94) and then his only choice is to take the sack or that desperation toss to Demski. For me, the real story of our second-to-last drive is not "wah we have a timid OC who's holding back our gunslinger QB" (and seriously I have no idea how you get that idea from these two plays) but instead why couldn't our line keep #94 out of the kitchen long enough for Streveller to make a play?

Hey man, take whatever time you need in the tub, you always got a spot on the club.

ah, yeah, I can see Collins breaking stride and reaching back in slo-mo.

That wide-side out around 0:20, was that a great throw or a great catch by Collins? Looks like Gale just tucked it in there perfectly past the DB, but it's tough to tell from the angle.

(edit: never mind)

Gale has a start and a win on his resume, so he's got a tiny edge over Ross there ... though you could say the same of the Fever (actually, several starts and wins for him) Weird thing about Gale is how many teams have moved on from him, in a league starved for backup QBs.

2018-06-16 Montreal at BC Willy flinging bombs! Larks soaring over pumpkins! Unsustainable. Willy's checkdown throws turn Alouette comeback time into garbage time.

Think the TiCats are in tough here ... but then I thought the Argos D would eat Collaros alive...

2018-06-15 Toronto at Saskatchewan Dink, dunk, wounded duck End of the line for Frito? Or preseason rust?

Is James Franklin even the next James Franklin? Dude is not successful or proven or anything, he could be the next Trevor Harris, he could be the next Don McPherson, no one knows yet.

speaking of the TSN broadcast, some day I want to make a supercut of that road warrior fan with the little #85 stickers on his shoulder pads, the TSN cameras find him game after game...

Lankford accumulates a few more MBB likes...

he's no Johnny Football tho.

I do agree that the Rider rage here gets a little out of hand sometimes, but you can't say that Glenn isn't a proven QB. Granted, he's a proven .500 QB, but the Riders were about .500, so it all checks out. Looking forward to this year -- the rule of the CFL is that the team with the better QB and the better Canadians wins, and both those areas are huge question marks for the Roughies. Maybe it all turns out ok, maybe Collaros gets time to do his work and maybe Messam keeps Messaming for another year and LaBatte plays like it's 2007 and Edem bounces back and they can scheme successfully around Hurl .. but that's a lot of maybes. (looking at their roster today, it does look like they have a practice roster OL ... an import named Takoby Cofield ... someone mentioned they didn't have one)

bad line, bad Canadians. NBD. Linked article is just trolling -- but I do like that Justin Dunk term "Strevelation"

Especially since a lot of the passes in Lapo's offense will only travel five or so yards downfield.

stoked for tomorrow! I know very little about scouting QBs, but a thing I noticed in this video is that he's got kinda bouncy-castle footwork going on in the pocket. Is that a big deal for a QB?
