Alright.... Other than a brief trip to IdC to see my niece play ringette, I am not leaving the city this weekend. **** the south is such a mess. Northern reserves not a lot better, but I feel for much different reasons.

Your favourite and mine, Jamie Nye....... https://www.cfl.ca/2021/12/02/weekly-predictor-betting-tiger-cats/ Saskatchewan at Winnipeg Sunday, 4:00 p.m. ET What kind of team will we see come out as they’ve lost two-straight coming into the playoffs? Although, in fairness to the Bombers, they rested a few key contributors along the way. I wanted to find recent examples of teams this dominate and so I went back to the 2014 Calgary Stampeders, who clinched first on October 18th and played five weeks later in the Western Final. They absolutely CRUSHED Edmonton in that game. The one thing I fear if I’m the Bombers is if the Roughriders can punch them in the mouth early after an emotional overtime thrill ride against the Stampeders. The last half of that football game was the Cody Fajardo show as he ran and threw his way into the Western Final, leading the Roughriders back on a key fourth quarter drive to take the lead before Calgary tied it up. I’d like to note Fajardo also threw a game-winning pass in overtime that if Kian Schaffer-Baker holds on to becomes a monster moment in both guy’s careers. Now, you also have a Riders defence that have been absolutely lights out in the second half of the season, with pass rushers that are right up there with Willie Jefferson and Jackson Jeffcoat. In fact, A.C. Leonard and Jonathan Woodard had more sacks than the Bombers All-Star trio. Those All-Star nods did make the Riders feel disrespected so if they want to prove they deserved the All-Stars themselves, they better outperform the Bombers duo. Now, here’s the difference in the game: offensive line and defensive line on both sides. There is no question the Bombers’ offensive line is better than Saskatchewan’s, while it may be a draw on the defensive side of the ball. The Riders didn’t allow a sack last week after Cody Fajardo took the most sacks in the regular season and if the Riders can keep Cody clean again this week, I’m guessing they’re off to Hamilton. I loved how committed and successful they were with William Powell on the ground early against Calgary to slow down the Bombers but now Winnipeg will see it coming. I’m picking the Riders to go up early, but not by enough to hold off the Bombers in the second half. PICK: WINNIPEG

https://3downnation.com/2021/12/01/insider-talk-head-coach-candidates-ottawas-gm-search-cfls-best-canadian-player/ A few interesting things... If I were hiring a head coach my list of candidates would be (Calgary special teams coordinator and assistant head coach) Mark Kilam, (Ottawa special teams coordinator) Bob Dyce, (Hamilton defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach) Mark Washington, (Winnipeg offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach) Buck Pierce, and (Calgary offensive coordinator and offensive line coach) Pat DelMonaco.

You know who brings the most to the run game?

I was thinking he looks like a Bomber from the 80s....

Yeah, it's the cuts and stuff, right? Cutting/pivoting left or right....seems to me that's the most trying thing on a knee.

Kinda figured it'll be a "see how he feels after a day of 1's reps..." things. Gotta see how the body reacts to it. Here's hoping he's healthy enough to go...

hey - Andrew Harris is back - we've all moved on.....

well....ain't that some ****....

My initial point was that I understand why a hockey player feels underpaid when they see what baseball players are making. Nothing more, nothing less.

*rationale But the point stands that these guys deserve every penny they get.

You can't compare their salaries to an average person. They do things that less than 1% of people can do, and their career can end at any moment with a blown out knee or a concussion. I don't have any hard feelings about pro athletes making what they make. I just wish I was born with a fraction of that ability.

nah, but I do get what he's saying. Baseball players....who face WAY less risk of injury.....making 30-40 million PER YEAR (!!!) while hockey players, who take a beating, night in and night out, get paid a 10th of that. I don't mind football and hockey players talking about being under-paid, because of their risk of injury. Baseball and basketball players can get ******...

I'm so glad this backfired....

Which Riders player was it that was found passed out in his vehicle in the ditch a couple years ago...?

My cousin and his wife foster these types of dogs and help find homes for them. Really tough situation for some otherwise great pups.

Just a random Sask person on Twitter but posting for the lolz..

that's true....but wasn't the case in this particular instance. Just a super crazy chick.

My two years of being a STH, we got to hang out behind the south endzone and watch pre-game warm ups......

Nah, I just WISH my wife's parents weren't in the picture.......

I read the whole Twitter thread, and they said "a current full dose regimen or after booster, if not current".....
