...C'mon Cato, let's see some three-minute magic here.

They're playing Tom Sawyer at McMahon ... at least the PA guy in Calgary is getting it done.

If Hamilton and Montreal win this weekend, 7 of the 9 CFL teams will be at .500 or better. #parity

Good lord, that is some kinda Grey Cup hangover we're seeing.

This is the best one I've found: http://www.stream2watch.co/sports/football/calgary-stampeders-vs-montreal-alouettes-live-stream-august-01

(KYLE WALTERS, GM of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, is wandering through the desert. He is clearly in bad shape, his clothing is in tatters, he is sunburned, his lips are cracked, his eyes are swollen shut from the constant barrage of sand and the brutal sun. He is limping and his footprints are smeared with blood from his bare feet. Following Walters is JADE ETIENNE. Etienne is wearing a chain collar and Walters is holding his leash.) SUBTITLE: January 2014. (Enter ZACH COLLAROS, wearing a crisp safari suit, riding on a well-bred two-hump camel.) COLLAROS: Hello, Kyle Walters! How would you like to buy a ride out of this desert? WALTERS (coughing sand) No. I would prefer to have Drew Willy bring me out of this desert. He has a helicopter! COLLAROS: Suit yourself. KENT AUSTIN (offscreen, angry): Hey, Collaros! Over here! (Collaros rides off. Enter HENRY BURRIS, who is smiling. He is driving a land rover. It is an old land rover with not a lot of tread left on its tires, but its air conditioning still works.) BURRIS: Hey Walters, you want me to drive you out of here? WALTERS: What? I'm sorry, I was too busy pissing blood to hear what you said. BURRIS: You need a ride out? WALTERS: No. Drew Willy will be along shortly to pick me up. (enter MARCEL DESJARDINS. He floats down on a parachute made of money. Burris and Desjardins embrace and wander off together.) WALTERS (stumbling forward.) Drew Willy? Are you out there? (enter BRENDAN TAMAN being carried upon a litter by the BEST FANS IN CANADA) TAMAN: Hello Walters. WALTERS: Brendan! Thank God you're here! I want to have a talk with Drew Willy. (Walters rattles Etienne's chain). I'll give you Jade here if you let me talk to him. Jade's put on a bunch of weight! He'll be good eatin'! TAMAN: Sorry, bro, I've just traded Willy's rights to BC. (Off in the distance, we see Wally Buono climbing aboard Drew Willy's shiny new helicopter) WALTERS: (anguished) Noooooo! (Walters collapses into the sand. When he looks up, he sees BRIAN BROHM. Brohm is walking a bicycle with no back wheel. WALTERS: I suppose you'll have to do. Close on Brohm pushing Walters through the desert. Walters is on the handlebars of Brohm's bike. Above them, vultures circle.

My 2008 Macbook hasn't been supported by Apple for three years now. Because Apple aggressively obsoletes its software, I can't use anything newer than 2011ish. My 2008 hand-built desktop boots into Linux mostly and windows 7 for games. Everything runs fine on it, though of course I'm not playing Crysis or any other really modern games. Never buying an apple computer again. I like my computers to be supported for way longer than they want to support them.

I hate hate hate the pass interference challenges. It does terrible things to the game's pacing when huge plays in certain situations -- picks in the endzone, or pick-sixes -- will always be challenged.

Remember when everyone was all "hurfdurf Chris Randle is a terrible SAM put him back at the corner." I think an adjustment that gets both Randle and Adams on the field is a good idea...

Loved Willy's game ... but I cringed every time he did one of those Buck Pierce headfirst dives at the end of a run. We gotta get Pete Rose in here to teach Drew how to slide.

No doubt that Jon Byner was a funny man but Super Dave Osborne was the real star of Bizarre. Guy was a live-action muppet.

We could have a questionable police killing thread every week on MBB.

Let's table Marve vs. Brohm for now and move on to Wayne vs. Shuster. I always thought that Shuster was the funnier man. It's way harder to be the setup man than to deliver the puckish punchlines. Shuster had to play within the system, whereas Johnny Wayne got to freelance and ad-lib all the time.

If someone starts quoting Marve's stats in the chatroom

I've noticed Willy having to step forward or reach out to grab slow snaps, that can't help but throw off his timing. Wonder how many plays are disrupted by a non-crisp snap?

Is it just me or are Picard's shotgun snaps terrible? When they're on-target, they're slow. When they're fast, they miss Willy's hands.

Casey Bramlet was the worst I've ever seen. Mind you, the guy was hardly set up to succeed, he came in midseason and was thrown to the wolves by Kelly. But he looked like a toddler out there.

Good news, everyone! According to Ed Tait in the WFP, Matt Dunigan will be doing the color on today's broadcast.

Not complaining. Just wondering if the official missed it or if the head office decided not to make that call when there's an actual PI. I'm real curious to see what kind of in-season adjustments they make to the officiating.

Officials just ignored a receiver calling for a PI penalty. There was a PI penalty on the play, but I thought that calling for one was an automatic unsportsmanlike even if there was PI flagged.

Oh man, it is great to see a legit football team in Ottawa. I was a Rough Rider season ticket holder during their last two awful years, and those are some great fans there.

Can't let a team like Calgary up off the mat like that.

Ottawa secondary stepping up...

Doesnt that take them nicely to their out clause? It means that the issue is settled until expansion is completed. Wonder what kind of deal the NHL cut with Glendale to protect its expansion revenues from the Coyotes?
