[TSN Panel (Randorf leaving TSN)]

I would be okay with Elliotte Friedman.

[Pool tracker pick the winners.]

Ya'll better pick me, cuz I'm the winner. 

[Bombers negotiate Transit game day discount]

The transit deal was all but done several weeks ago, with both the Bombers and City declaring it a better solution. Then the Bombers board rejects the nomination of Sam Katz' buddy Jeff Rabb to a seat on the BOD. Now suddenly, "after careful consideration", the city decides to reject the transit deal. Big surprise.

 

It was a done deal between the bombers and transit, the city still had to okay it. Which, even in the first article from April 30th, Miller said "If councillors don't want to pass it, then they don't have to pass it."

[Caption this ...]

"I was in Winnipeg, and they fixed my teeth up with this new thing called a "Dentist"!"

[The BEER thread]

As per my post last year, I like white beers.

 

Tried a new one from the LC this weekend, Shock Top. 

 

White beer with a lemon flavor added. I also got a raspberry one that I might get into today.

 

The first few sips were terrible, it tasted like furniture polish, the lemon taste was just gross. But after the first few sips, the lemon taste really mellowed out, so I'm assuming it must have separated a bit and had a bunch sitting on top.

 

It was really, really good then. I would get it again for sure (if I can, I got the last one of each flavor of the shelf, and from what I hear other LC stores can't keep them on the shelf either), just will pour it into a glass instead of drinking from the can. 

[Stadium Parking Passes]

I usually bike it, or bike part way and lock my bike up at a rapid transit stop and bus the rest of the way. 

[Charles Roberts to be inducted into HOF this year]

going in along side Cahoon, Uzooma Okeke, Maurice (Moe) Racine, Wally Buono as a builder, Amateur builder Larry Haylor and Amateur player Neil Lumsden.

[Bills Owner Ralph Wilson Has Died]

MLSE can't buy an NFL team... it would have to be Ted Rogers himself. Corporations can't own NFL teams.

 

Maybe Ted can work out a deal with Ralph in person now.....

[Bombers add 2 imports]

I was hoping for something a lot funnier.......

[RedBlacks Mascot]

The name was far too long for a mascot anyways. Big Joe or Grand Jos will work way better for them.

[I want to talk about something that really grinds my gears]

 

 

I keep meaning to try Unburger, but it was closed for renovations or repairs of some kind the last two times I checked it out.

 

"Renovations"

[Wow! Such Quarterback! So Signing!]

Roughriders sign import QB Doege (apparently it's actually pronounced Day-Gee, but for the purpose of my title being a joke, we'll forget about that) and receiver Swain

[Jeffrey Bannon's house nearly completely destroyed last night]

I think a better phrasing of what iso ment would have been something along the lines of "it's unsettling that something like this could happen to anyone at anytime with no warning signs"

[What I miss from the Good Ole Days]

I miss not having one team on a bye every week......

[2014 CFL Schedule released]

Hope everyone likes Thursday night games.............

[Grade the Bombers on Day 1 of Free Agency]

If you include Randle, how can you not include Willy?

[Diamond Ferri cut by Saskatchewan]

If we can get Swayze at the right price, I'd be okay with it. But if we could get him for a steal, if Walters could just walk all over him in negotiations, he would be like a Jesus to me.

[CFL Stuff..]

illegal contact on a receiver is what is called when there is interference before the ball is thrown.

 

pass interference is what is called when the ball has already left the QBs hands.

 

If a DB interferes with a receiver and the ball is already en route to another spot on the field, unless it was something egregious, keep your flags in your pockets. 

 

If a DB takes a jam play too far, pulls and tugs, etc. at a receiver before the ball is thrown, which may cause the QB to take another read, maybe even hold onto the ball and get sacked, etc, throw the flag, 10 yard penalty. replay the down.

[BMO field possibly being upgraded]

more speculation that MLSE wants to buy the Argos

[BMO field possibly being upgraded]

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/24-7/winter-classic-could-be-coming-to-toronto/

 

not specifically for supporting CFL at first, but no doubt this could be the key to get the Argos out of the terrible Rogers centre. 

[Which would you rather have?]

Pickles or briefs?

 

 I use my briefs to store my pickle.

Yikes, nasty hit by sears.

Looks like the coach Burke is a big fan of the Gif

The New York Times profiled Tim Burke, the man responsible for creating the majority of sports gifs that get passed around on the internet. He works 16 hours a day sitting at his workstation staring at 10 monitors, all playing sports.

 

I like how they had this gif linked in that article
