It'd be really nice if we could get everyone on the same page in the same season.

Must be. He got extended 6 weeks ago

Enjoyed the GOT episode.  I guess my TV is new enough that the darkness wasn't an issue for me... didn't even realize it was a problem till I saw it trending on twitter.
For people who have not seen the episode yet, I'll put some other thoughts behind the spoiler feature
 

"Deep Thoughts with Mr Dee"

Sorry guys. Not a spoiler after  the show has aired. Especially when it’s newsworthy  

@RichRymanPG   It's looking like #Packers will play Oakland in Winnipeg for preseason game No. 3. Mark Murphy said on @WildeAndTausch it looks like details will be worked out. If not, they could still end up at Lambeau Field.

I would say Simonise agrees..

Since when are we not thrilled when Winnipeg drafts a local player?  

Valour win their first game in club history. 2-1 over Pacific. 
Pretty impressed by the production quality for a small, start up league anyway..

I didn't realize how badly I wanted Mike Sellers as a Bombers assistant coach until just now....

This is one of the stupidest rule changes I’ve ever seen. It’s unfair and imbalanced for utterly no reason. It’s hard  to look at Ambrosie as anything other than an incompetent idiot after all this. He is obsessed with being an innovator but everything he does seems half-baked. 

special Llama to coincide with Folklorama's 50th. 

Games 1 and 2 going to sell-out?  Just checked ticketmaster... seems like lots available.  Eeesh. 
I've got Jets in 5... failing that... Blues in 5.  I think she's a shorter series than many are thinking. 
 

Those Valour kits are incredible.

I can't take the credit for that one. I read it in a media piece literally hours after the week 2 bail out was announced. Some dude in the States saw through the smoke really quick on that and I just regurgitated it.
