relentless!

Lucky grittier than I remembered. Running hard into traffic.

Zach throwing both kinds of passes tonight: dinks and dunks.

love seeing a DB make a play close to the line like that ... can't appreciate how fast they are when they're running deep covers against freak fast receivers.

Woli usually plays the end on short yardage, doesn't he?

history repeats itself; first as tragedy, then as farce.

just wanna say I'm glad to see Hatcher back on the field even if he's wearing the wrong colors, the guts and grit it must take to rehab a ruptured Achilles is humbling.

This was before West and Battle's time. Ty Jones, Frank Robinson, Aaron Brown, Delbert Fowler, and Vernon Pahl were the wreckers in this game. Lions had -50 yards of offense at the end of the first quarter, I don't think I've ever seen anything like that again. We gave him a rough ride for sure, but Roy was fine. He won the Grey Cup the next year.

go bombers go! (literally)

Calling it now ... Alexander goes on a tear in Montreal and signs for QB1 money, Collaros and Harris retire after this season, Saskatchewan overpays to get Streveler.... and when the QB carousel stops spinning, Cody Fajardo is the Bombers' Game 1 starter for 2025.

All the greens: toad, lime, and snot.

Ugh, nothing worse than a tailback who retreats from first down yardage. Chad Simpson used to drive me crazy doing that. Send Armstead back to the farmstead.

New redblack home unis look so much better with that bold white stripe.

Speaking of the Toilet Bowl, is it still IGF West or did it get renamed to PAS West?

Uh-oh ... hope I can make my connection in Toronto... gotta clear customs there.

Anyone here getting burnt by Crowdstrike? This is the most serious computer outage in history. If you're in IT and your weekend just got smashed, here's some good vibes. I'm flying back to Canada today. Luckily Air Canada doesn't use Crowdstrike -- my flight is on schedule.

If you check out the Lapo breakdown of Pokey's big game, you'll see that Zach wasn't force feeding him, he was going where his reads told him to go and that was to Pokey. He was the blitz read several times and not the first read several times.

Lapo looks at Pokey's big game First, is it Pookey like Mookie Wilson? Or is it Pokey like Pokey Reddick? First play, the run blitz kill. I was curious about this play because it looks like a bad play -- throwing a hitch screen without enough lead blocking. but now I understand why it happened. It's interesting when Lapo breaks down Zach's reads on any play because it seems like the play design and stampeder coverage resulted in Pokey being the best option on most of these plays, it wasn't that Zach set out to feed Wilson, it was just the way things developed. Love seeing Lucky Whitehead and the rest of the bench calling for tempo on the final catch.

Booch man I love reading your insights and I know we are joking here but tbh reading jokes about ambushing the forum whipping boys makes me feel a little gross.

I've heard that Micah Johnson ain't much for milking; how do you think that'll impact the Riders' DL?

look out redblacks; the Elks have some talent and are gonna have a fire under their ass in the rematch this weekend.

Jones could be an effective DC right? his triple-role GM/HC/DC position seemed doomed/foolish from the outset. Three full-time jobs. lunacy. At least the Elks were sensible enough to name a dedicated DC for 2024 (Jason Shivers) so they don't have to replace that role now on short notice.

Chris Jones is just a little more than halfway thru his contract. Pity the poor Elks fans and org.

Big game hunter. Always has to a hot hand vs the Elks. Hamilton vs. Edmonton in a couple weeks might be the best toilet bowl game in awhile in the CFL. Both teams can make plays but have zero defense.
