One of my all time favourite things is when Homer and Lenny are off working on some oil rig and then eventually they're gonna go home....helicopter comes to pick them up out in the middle of nowhere....Marge is up on the chopper and yells down to Homer, and he flies up the rope ladder. Lenny just sitting there..."Awww, there's nothing up there for me....." and then Karl pokes his head out "Oh don't be so sure..." "KARL KARLSSON!!!???" and Lenny flies up the rope ladder. Hilarious EVERY time...

Hit up Costco and loaded up on Kirkland k-cups....we're all good, here!

So.....is this the Game Day Thread......or just a poorly titled pre-game thread?

Man the Stamps are just so good. Even when they're not lights out, they are good enough to just straight up kill teams. ST, D, O... Sometimes one, sometimes two, sometimes all 3, they are so good all over and I ******* hate their fans with every fibre of my being for not caring much...

And this is really the only point that matters, tbh......the Sabres have next to nothing going on and they're trying to build themselves up, so they need to treat Eichel like the Great American Hope that he believes he is. He'll get paid for sure...but won't be anywhere near McJesus, as it shouldn't be...

Interesting thought from Bauming: @DarrinBauming 32m32 minutes ago More With Dressler out, I expect T.J. Thorpe's role to continue to grow in the #Bombers O. Thru two CFL games; 15 catches on 17 targets, 129 yds.

Oh no...oh noooo....ohhhhh noooooooo.....

From Ted Wyman, who talked to MOS about Dressler:

I quote tweeted this last night....was legitimately surprised. I mean, EVERYONE.....?

they keep trying to compare Eichel to McJesus, and I'm all "Why......?"

I think Leggett is close to 100......it's Heath I'm concerned about.

the fact that MOS clothing of choice is even a conversation piece is one of the most absurd things in a long list of absurd things within our "fan" base....

If Wolidarski keeps showing well in practice (as per the Twitters earlier this week...) that can't be good for AR's prospects.....

Always thought the guy was super overrated, but that's just me. I have a natural aversion to super bible-thumping people...

While he didn't go into details (obviously), it was interesting that Bauming had tweeted earlier this week that the Bombers were doing some interesting and creative things on offense during practice this week. Wonder if that has to do with Flanders packages, maybe...

https://www.cfl.ca/2017/08/02/cfl-announces-rule-change-limit-video-review/ TORONTO — Coaches will be able to challenge only one play per game under changes to the video review system approved Tuesday night by the Canadian Football League, the CFL announced Wednesday. “We have a super game. Our elite athletes are treating us this year to incredible plays, close contests and even miracle comebacks. Scoring is up, penalties are down, and games are shorter. The last thing we want to have in place is an artificial impediment to our fans’ enjoyment of it all,” said CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie. ”Video review, unfortunately, has become just that. It was put in place to fix egregious and indisputable mistakes that could affect the outcome of a game. It’s not being used that way now. Too many challenges and reviews are interrupting the game. Coaches, understandably since they are under pressure to win, have been using it to try to gain an advantage. Fans have been very clear with me that they want a change. We are delivering that change.” The change is effective immediately. Prior to this change, each team had two challenges per game, and a third challenge was earned if a coach was successful with their first two challenges. Now they will only get one challenge for the entire game. They will still need to have a timeout to initiate a challenge. And if their challenge is not successful, they will still lose a timeout. Ambrosie ordered an evaluation of the process after his latest visits to CFL stadiums this past weekend. The resulting proposal, to restrict coaches’ challenges to one a game, was approved last evening in a series of calls with the league’s Competition Committee, team presidents and lead Governors. “We at the CFL want our players to know we want the focus on the field and on their amazing talents,” Ambrosie said. “We want fans to know we are in the business of doing all we can to provide the very best experience for them.” A national conference call with CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie and Senior Vice President of Football Glen Johnson will be held at 2:00pm ET on Wednesday.

Legendary when we were going to school....

and these are just the most likely ones!

....It's where he's from....he lives in Ottawa and has retired into a business life.

"Athleticism"

*Bilukidi retired....in Ottawa.....

Rocky's 3rd position early in his rookie year....that's tough for anyone...

....in this vein, apparently Geoff Gray is having a great camp with the Pack....good for him.

For sure they would have reached out to him, but probably didn't feel the need to overpay based on our current set up...which is fine.

I was a diehard FreeP reader... Hardcore. And now..... Just nothing. Tait was by far my favourite writer, and after he left... And Lawless.... I just really didn't have any reason to stay.
