Super Duper Negatron

Love this tweet by the Bombers:

Matter of preference. For me, I love when the crowd noise is turned up. Adds to the viewing experience.

Meh, I don't think it really matters. One team is also on a bye. Someone was going to play more/less games with the old rule in place.

This suggests that report was false? http://www.polygon.com/2016/7/30/12333058/canadian-football-league-madden-ea-sports-rumor No offense to Dave Winter (who I know, as a one man show, worked very hard on it), but Maximum Football wasn't that good. I wouldn't hold out too much hope for the new game...

Recent picture of Pederson:

This just in: Riders Suck

After everything that has happened the past couple of weeks, the majority of posts over on Riderfans are talking about how the CFL, not the Riders organization, looks like a joke in all of this. It is actually amazing to watch. As for Pederson, have you ever seen another member of the media refer to "we" and "us" in reference to the team they are covering?

The Riders in trouble for trying to use more players than the rules allow? Unheard of! #13thman #BestGreyCupEver

Never mind, it was Maze who wasn't playing this year.

Wait, did I just read that the Riders had another player retire today?

Reading Paul Wiecek's article today, and he made this statement: "The special teams — which had been wildly inconsistent — stepped up in a big way against Hamilton." - http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/cancel-the-priest-the-bombers-are-recovering-389204871.html Have I been asleep all season, or is that statement not even remotely true?

I don't even think it is the play calling. It is human nature to let your foot off the gas (even if only subconsciously) with such a huge lead. It happens in every sport, at every level.

Doh! Of course it is a member of the armed forces today and not the usual singer. Now I look like a dingus!

Can we skip the anthem? Our current singer is terrible. Someone needs to buy that girl a metronome.

This has literally never happened before. I think the current stadium is fine.

Having Stegall and Roberts at the same time was insane.

He's saying that everyone is giving Willy a chance to figure things out, but Nichols, who is younger, "is what he is".

Did a team fold while I was asleep?

Yeah, it's not cheap. I'm a sucker. The beer was delicious though. Just need to amortize the cost of the bottle over many, many refills.

CFLZone was great for a while there. TotalCFL is what I miss though.

Family cabin at Falcon Lake. Doesn't get much better. I camped a *ton* at Big Whiteshell with friends back in University. A lot those friends ended up with seasonal sites out there with their families.

Update: Growler purchased (actually a howler, since they are 32 oz, which actually suits my needs better). Filled it up at the Grant Park MLCC with Barn Hammer 7th Stab Red Ale. Looks delicious, and the logo on the growler looks great. Can't wait to open it tonight during the game (which I will be watching in the Whiteshell with a lake view).

Wow does Berry look good on that chart. Make the playoffs? That's a firin'! Of course he had the benefit of having, by far, the best QB during his tenure.

Also quarterback...

Remember the oline we had before Kelly !et everyone leave? Memories...
