  1. Reilly gets hit a lot. Don't know how he takes it. did not expect 3 points at the half lol helmet ball
  2. dont see the screen pass much anymore.... the one where they let the d lineman through
  3. what a hopeless attempt at tackling by to 25. bumped the edmonton receiver, then fell down. maybe tonight Mass will put on a bit of a show.
  4. there's an argo forum. says argos have started a different middle linebacker every game so far. boy Franklin looks good.
  5. Iceland has just been elected to take a seat on the UN Human Rights Council at the UN headquarters in New York. Last month the United States annoounced its withdrawal from the council. Iceland received 172 votes. A minimum of 97 votes are required. Iceland will have a seat until December 31st 2019. A total of 99.4 % of votes went to Iceland and France received one vote. Iceland will occupy the seat vacated by the US for the remainder of the current term which expires at the end of next year.
  6. BC defence looked substandard last game. My concern is that their O ran for about 40 yards on two plays, to start the game. Then stupidly stopped running. Hope that doesn't become a problem. TSN has a good injury history for lulay. Hasn't played much last few years.
  7. I think Buckley should be a nose and throat specialist.
  8. It might be thatl people in different positions in the US are doing whatever they can to fend off Trump's attacks on democracy. This might be an attempt to prevent Trump from making some sort of agreement with Putin. To me, it seems to just make it more likely that he'll reach some agreement. Disturbing that so many millions approve of this man. Wish I could go back to following admirable people, like the cave rescuers.
  9. I hope the world system can stand up to the continuos assault from Trump, Putin and the Republican party. Never been anything like this that In my lifetime.
  10. Calgary is a remarkable sports team. There is not much controversy around the team. They move smoothly through various changes, adapt, and continue to win. I guess they have not handled the backup qb that well, but who knows about that really. Arbuckle threw a nice TD pass. Other than injury to Bo, nothing much to stop them this season. We need to get some kind of cool hat for Nichols.
  11. hope the panel noticed the late hit. have not mentioned it yet.
  12. Bombers probably have the best quarterback/backup in the league. Looks like Davis throws sidearm.
  13. really dirty play. and now bo leaves the field. awful
  14. Ottawa has one of the best Running backs and won't use him.
  15. how close to line are Defensive backs for these teams? looks like they are closer than the Hall system. not sure how you can cover the 38 yarder to Jordan. nice playy
  16. Rookie QB for three of the games. two Bombers D lineman in the top four of qb pressures. Bighill now doing what he's good at. and maybe rounding into full Bighill form. (I admit, I did not realize how much Bighill could do, till I saw the game the other day) Masoli probably played one of the best games of his career against the Bombers. He couldn't miss. It's too early to say the D is no good. Not saying Hall is the greatest D assistant in the CFL. I just don't believe O'Shea doesn't know what to do with this defence. It makes no sense.
  17. Didn't get second, or last one. Showed Leo Lewis at the start. Good quiz, thanks, that was fun.
  18. Derek Taylor Poop is second in league with 10 qb pressures, and Jeffcoat is 4, with 8.
  19. If Jennings plays, the Bombers should win, if Lulay plays, not sure. (if he can make it through the whole game) Not sure beating B.C. led by Jennings, and Montreal, mean that much as far as the defence goes. I suspect that the defence can still be beaten by any of the league's good quarterbacks.
  20. This really is an amazing story. There's the remarkable strength of character and courage shown by all of the people involved, and the level of skill of the people who found the boys, and then devised and are carrying out the plan to get them out. All led by two apparently quiet, non attention seeking, British civilian amateur cave rescue divers, one a retired fireman, one an IT guy, and also I think an Australian MD/cave rescue diver. I understand that It was the two Brits that initially went in, and found the boys and the coach. One 47, and the other 56 years old. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/07/09/meet-seven-british-divers-playing-leading-roles-thai-cave-rescue/ At one point they have to take off their tank, and go through an opening 38 centimetres across. they lead the boys out, one diver ahead of the boy, and one behind, all roped to each other, and to a line fixed to the cave wall. the boys do not wear a tank, the lead diver carries a second tank, which is connected to the boy's full face mask. brilliant, cause the tanks are heavy. and move. It's an almost incredible demonstration of fortitude, and skill. I also appreciate the Thai officials complete lack of grandstanding.... one short press conference a day, by one person. no questions. I learned that there are cave diving rescue societies, which of course these men are leading members of. And that they call diving in a cave where it is partly submerged, and partly not, sump diving. If you're following it, they do not have oxygen in their tanks, they have air.
  21. Playing against Jennings was good for the Bomber D. I don't think Jennings would make the Bombers. Ulrich wrote - Jennings, now 3-15 against the Bombers, Eskimos and Calgary i
  22. I think Nichols is star 1. 2. Bighill .... 3. Harris happy honker Paul LaPolice.
  23. held the eskimos to one touchdown. good game. nice to see his old teammates really like him.
