Matt Walter has always impressed me whenever he's gotten real reps spelling Cornish. He's not a guy who can own a game like Cornish, but the dropoff from Cornish to him doesn't seem enormous. I wonder who gets the first-team reps at running back between those two guys? I saw a Cornish interview during Grey Cup week last year that made me hope he'd walk away from football in the off-season. Compared to past interviews, when he sounded really astute and sharp, he was not doing well .. he was slurred and distant in that too-familiar athlete way. And now with this concussion protocol news -- man, I hope he's okay.

My wife is scientist and has worked with some very very very smart and accomplished people. Sometimes, those people believe that since they're experts in some extremely difficult (and relatively narrow) field, that makes them an expert in every field. We call this "Ben Carson syndrome" now.

Some call him the space cowboy.

Listening to the TSN radio feed at work today. Argonaut radio guys are calling Chad Owens CO2, so maybe it's not just a Rod Black thing.

C'mon, what are you even talking about? We have a whole TV show about criminals acting the fool: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cops_%28TV_series%29 It's run for twenty-eight seasons. It is older than the Bombers' Grey Cup drought, for christ's sake. So what? Does that mean we shouldn't fire / charge out-of-control cops?Of course we can't expect perfection from the cops. But what we can expect out of them is improvement -- that they'll be on the watch for the violent, lying assholes in their ranks, and guide them towards different careers.

Nice. #filmthepolice

Idle thought: it would be cool to identify the place where the Oregon killer bought his gun, and then picket that place like it was an abortion clinic.

I was shocked to see Burris was running the short yardage team last night. A 40 year old QB running plunges in a season where quarterbacks are falling weekly? The guy's invulnerable/lucky.

Whatever happened to all the people who thought Desjardins was an idiot for ditching Glenn and signing Burris?

Binged on all of Rick and Morty this weekend. Fantastic stuff.

Good luck to him. He's leaving us with a couple unforgettable highlights.

Man, when I read stuff like this and when I see Bomber ads online, I like to say a prayer for the marketing team at WBB -- it must suck to have to run promotions for a team that's auguring in so hard it's driving fans beyond anger and into apathy.

Man, you gotta be impressed at Burris' enduring durability, especially this season when it seems like Zeus is hurling thunderbolts at quarterbacks.

How far can Clarence Denmark run in a quarter second? If we're throwing a quick timing route and the ball is out a quarter-second late, that's probably an incompletion .. or, as Valderan notes, a wallpapered QB.

Got up early for the game. Turned it off at halftime, went to the garage to play drums and work on my LED ribbon lightshow.

This season ******* sucks. I hate seeing great CFL players go down like this. I don't care who they play for. Love the way Collaros plays -- very nice collection of agility and accuracy. Burris is the MOP now, I guess? Assuming he doesn't suffer a career-ender next week....but the guy has been freakishly durable throughout his career.

Picard's snaps have been lottery tickets all year. Their wandering nature is somewhat mitigated by their slowness, it gives the QB time to locate and catch them. How minor a deal is it that the QB has to take half a second to receive the wandering snap? Timing is so critical in a lot of these plays, if the snap is a slow I bet it has repercussions later in the play.

No problem with the guy being honest about his aspirations. If he draws NFL attention then that means we got some mighty fine QB play* out of him, so it's all good. *Pat Barnes notwithstanding, I guess

Yes, what we need to do is make our offense more predictable.

Geez, you guys. If I were essentially disposable and my career could end on a single play, I'd do whatever it took to maximize my value too. Good on Henoc for taking care of #1.

The Hawks are another team that looked far, far better in royal blue.

Seeing those jerseys makes me feel twelve years old again, when I first became a fan. Love 'em. What's our record in them? As far as I can remember our only wins in royal blue was the 2013 Banjo Bowl and the 2011 home opener vs. the Argos.

I just read on Twitter that the ORFU will no longer participate in the Grey Cup tournament. It's a damn shame. I think the game's gotten too commercial, what do you think?
