But Jones muttered; "What does that have to do with it? I'll be the center of attention for at least three weeks."
We had some lousy GM's but at least we were not paying them his kind of coins.

Like the Riders after next year? 

If that means $250k base with $200k bonus for winning grey cup and passing for 5000 yards... sounds great.

Jones the "recruiting genius" with his head buried deep in the Bombers garbage pail.

I was thinking on that play alone... Dave Dickensen out-coached himself... the situation is 2nd and goal, needing 2 yards to win the game... and you take BLM and Messam out of the game in favour of your goal-line package??... I don't care  if the entire world knows it's coming, I think Messam would've pounded that in for a TD... reminiscent of the Seahawks in 2015...

I still can't stand Burris. He's just a smug arrogant prick. 
Starts limping after the game is over. It was the biggest loaf of crap ever

The greatest team that never was...
Who knew? Take away  BLM's crutch man - Marquay McDaniel and BLM is average.
Henry took on the giant Bo, and felled him with a rock..
No, Mitchell isn't the greatest of all time, nor our time.
Ultimately, the RedBlacks, Marcel Desjardins, Rick Campbell, and the rest of the staff deserve all the credit they can garner.
And yes, that was a very good Grey Cup game.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Bo Levi Mitchell and Co. for becoming the first 15-win team in CFL history to get to the Grey Cup and choke. They are in the process of finding out who they are right now.

@DarrinBauming @JeffR57 @3DownNation  Stop trying to create atmosphere in TO. Give the cup to places/cities that ❤/ promote/appreciate - CFL
?‍?The CFL unveiled the list of officials for Sunday's big game. The name Jeff Harbin appears under Video Official. The same Jeff Harbin who has made several key mistakes recently, in leading up to the Grey Cup. There is no word whether reviews will be reviewed or not. 
Up until this time...there have been no challenge flags thrown on the announcement.

"I think we've got a good thing going in Winnipeg, and I believe in what we're doing." – #Bombers kicker Justin Medlock
-Medlock raved about #Bombers head coach Mike O'Shea tonight. Says O'Shea knows when to be hard on the team and when they need to be lifted.
-Dave Dickenson mentions #BCLions' Wally Buono and #Bombers head coach Mike O'Shea as "being right there" with him as @CFL Coach of the Year.

#BCLions LB Solomon Elimimian named #CFL's outstanding defensive player, but not named to #CFLPA all-star team. Huh?

Good line by CFL commish during Q&A.
Q: "Terry Jones with The Edmonton Sun, Journal, Post Media." 
A: "Good to see all three of you."
?‍?This idea put forward by Gary Lawless just might be a great idea...
"There have been whispers that Buono might step aside altogether. If he does elect to leave the Lions, the CFL should immediately hire him as a consultant."
Game Notes
This will be the first-ever post-season start for Burris vs Calgary.
This game matches Calgary with a +19 Turnover Ratio (#2) against Ottawa who were -10 (#7 in the CFL).
Ottawa has a current streak of 8 games in a row with a higher Time of Possession averaging 31:40 and 6 more plays.
Ottawa set a team record with 6,191 passing yards in 2016 and ranked #1 in the CFL for the second year in a row.
Ottawa has scored an offensive touchdown in every game this season – one of just two CFL teams to do that in 2016 (with Winnipeg).
For the 10th time this season, the Stampeders did not allow a single QB Sack and had just four 2-&-Outs.
Jerome Messam averaged 6.0 yards per rush in a career-best 84 yards in total. Calgary outrushed BC 166 yards to 81.
Calgary survived back-to-back turnovers in the 3rd Quarter and did not allow BC a point off either giveaway.
Calgary has now been in the West Division Final 8 times in the last 9 years and proceeded on to the Grey Cup 4 times.
Calgary defence in 2016: The Stamps allowed an average of only 15.0 points per game over their final 6 contests (incl. the playoff win).
Calgary has a current streak of 5 games in a row with a higher Time of Possession averaging 32:57 – so with Ottawa’s 8- game TOP advantage streak, one will have to give in this game.

Reminded of what a great year it was for @andrewharris33. #1 in % carries with YAC, and % of rush yds after contact

Impressive..
Arash Madani
No joke w/ Stamps, adding two American OL to the Grey Cup roster (starting one at RG). Must protect Bo. Taking smart measures to do so. #CFL
Dave Taylor
Expect Sask receiver @ShamawdChambers Outstanding Canadian of the 2015 Grey Cup, to hit open market as a free agent this winter. #riders
?‍?No thanks

Betting Chambers ends up either an Argo or a Ticat. #CFL #Ticats #Argos
?‍?And don't forget to watch the U Sports final, the Vanier Cup, starting at 1pm ET. Laval and Calgary.

It worked. They love the Commish again. Just a problem though, how do you get 1000 combines in a sportplex?

No, most of them wearing a barrel with suspenders already leaves little to the imagination.

Man that dentist has put on weight! 

All Osh needs to do is go 14-4 next year and then he'll get the recognition.  I agree though this year would have helped his contract talks, somewhat.  I think by now we all know what he brings to the table, and it was great watching him finally come into his own this year.  That was a steep learning curve.

Of course you have patience, you're a frickin' ghost!

I love seeing JFG in there. Always thought he was more talented and clutch than Kohlert.

Ah Great! a guy who goes from 12-6 to 8-9-1 gets nominated for coach of the year instead of a guy who went from 5-13 to 11-7. Isn't this supposed to be the best coach in the league? Who cares where they come from?
I was going to say it should be done by the fans but who know who would be stuffing the ballot boxes.

Notables
- security was on "high alert"...all public observing practice were being watched more intensely than I noticed in previous practices to ensure cameras were only recording or taking still photography when allowed;
- security advised that practice on the 11th is closed to the public and media
- padless practice
- Wild practising with 1st team
- Chungh practising with 1st team
- Denmark practising with 1st team
- Bass practising with 1st team
- Gudino practising with 1st team in Kohlert's spot
- Cole practising with 1st team
- Shologan practising with 1st team
- Neufeld practising with 1st team as 6th OLineman ahead of Couture
- Fogg present but not practising, (track suit but no walking boot)
- M. Harris present but not practising (track suit)
- Knox, Burnett and McDuffie all taking ST's reps..they're potentially DI's (other than Medlock)
- McDuffie and Legget sharing punt reps

Here's how they lined up

FYI: this is what I observed between 11:30 and 12:30

The fact that 2nd best team plays 3rd best team (lions vs bombers) while the 4th best team goes on the road to face the 6th best (Edm vs Ham)  while the 5th best team gets a bye... 
 
Yeah... 1 division. 

Congrats to Andrew Harris, Travis Bond, Mo Leggett, Justin Medlock, TJ Heath and Taylor Loffler!

From the Bombers website:
Congratulations to Andrew Harris.

Depends on how we do in the playoffs. GC teams pick 8th and 9th regardless of regular season position.
 

So ... 9th then?
