@DTonOB says on Hus's podcast today that he voted Chad Kelly over Brady O for MOP............hmmmmmmmmmmmm....................

only a government as insane as Danielle Smith's Take Back Alberta/UCP would fight this.............. I'm so ******* embarrassed to live here.....

we were watching the '21 GC the other night and commenting on the difference between Brady and Harris's body types. I remember when AH33 got hit with the PED scandal, and Doug Brown laughed it off saying that Harris had a "Dad Bod", and man, when you compare Harris to Brady O, it's nuts. I don't know how Harris was able to compete with such a comparatively frail body. Brady O is thick in the lower half.... insane legs. You watch those videos he posts of him doing squats the day after a game... it's bonkers. Faj can't throw deeper than 10 yards... his wide side outs are embarrassing. Just begging to get picked off. The only thing he's got are the high percentage short throws and timing routes....

Last year opened eyes... won't happen again.

I can already picture his pouting and palms up and it's delightful....

Love Lucky's personality, but he's a poor man's Janarion Grant.

don't worry... he'll just have 'em stolen again by his kids........

Lolololololololol................

not a ton from practice today...

if we were healthy, I'd have absolutely 0 concerns about this game. But no Schoen, no Bighill, and Demski/Bailey running at like 75%, and now possibly Kyrie dinged and less than optimal.... that stuff worries me. Still think we can beat this Als team, even with a very depleted roster.

3DN take on how the awards should go/have gone (if not for divisions):

Yeah, I mis-read your earlier post... insane that people were calling Zach a Game Manager. At times he can be (playoff games) but during summer months he has absolutely decimated teams by himself. Collaros, however, definitely was a game manager. He could bust out and throw for big gains, but by and large, he was a winner who didn't have to do it himself.

Nah... Nichols was 9-1 until his injury in 2019. He was a winner, for sure. He and Glenn weren't superstars, but they were just a tier below...

edit - my reading comprehension skills are limited.

this could be interesting....

so Proulx wasn't in the Top 11 rated officials?? TORONTO — A crew made up of the season’s 11 highest-rated Canadian Football League (CFL) officials will be taking the field for the 110th Grey Cup on Sunday, November 19 at Tim Hortons Field. 110TH GREY CUP OFFICIATING CREW Referee | #74 | Tim Kroeker 17th season | 271 games | 6th Grey Cup game, 1st at the Referee Position Umpire | #24 | Troy Semenchuk 7th season | 117 games | 2nd Grey Cup game Down Judge | #27 | Andrew Wakefield 9th season |135 games |3rd Grey Cup game Line Judge | #63 | Rob Hill 18th season | 283 games | 5th Grey Cup game Side Judge | #18 | Pierre Laporte 9th season | 157 games | 2nd Grey Cup game Back Judge | #59 | Larry Butler 19th season | 306 games | 4th Grey Cup game Field Judge | #37 | Jason Maggio 21st season | 354 games | 7th Grey Cup game Backup Referee | #60 | Tom Vallesi 19th season | 322 games | 5th Grey Cup game Backup Official | #19 | Chris Shapka 9th season | 153 games | 3rd Grey Cup game Backup Official | #40 | Kevin Riopel 6th season | 61 games | 1st Grey Cup game Backup Official | #73 | Brian Chrupalo 18th season | 296 games | 6th Grey Cup game The crew will be supported by an off-field officiating staff: Vice-President, Officiating – Darren Hackwood Senior Manager, Football & Officiating Development – Laurence Pontbriand Supervisor, Officiating – Don Cousens Manager, Officiating & Replay Official – Al Bradbury Video Official – Dave Foxcroft

100% how I feel. Frenchie is by far my favourite official, but Kroeker isn't bad.

edit - already posted in another thread.

TSN's take....

random DT stat-nerd stuff.....

only the hardest hitting news....

this is great news, and there's nobody happier about it than me (when and if it all comes to pass) but it does make me really curious what JBR was told, and by whom, that made it sound like Walters was exhausted by the work involved and needed to move back to southern Ontario for his family. The quote "who would want to leave this franchise willingly??" seems to go directly in the face of the previous information. And if the so-called "Coaches Cap" isn't going up, as was confirmed yesterday, then there's no extra payday coming for Walters....... it's curious for sure. But, as I said, there's nobody happier than me about The Trinity not breaking up (tentatively...)

this feels more in the vein of Venom..... Not particularly great, but trying to piggyback MCU (not as smart as it used to be)

they showed that they can steal a game if a team isn't careful..... that, combined with the Bombers losing in a similar fashion last GC, means the Bombers aren't going to be taking Montreal lightly in this game. I know I know... Any Given Sunday and all that...... but this really shouldn't be close. Zach doesn't have to win it, just can't lose the game for us.... and the D will do the rest. This game really shouldn't be close.
