They're ALREADY *******!

Citations? This should really be moved to another forum.

There is a strong element of luck/happenstance/fate involved in most championships. You can see that in the last two Cup games, where unlikely sets of circumstances led to Ottawa and Toronto getting their acts together in the last few games and then their opposition crapping out in The Big Games.

The allegations were made by the aforementioned Ezra Levant with no proof and repeated by that bastion of journalistic integrity, the Toronto Sun. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/20-questions-with-david-suzuki/article38077211/ https://davidsuzuki.org/story/false-allegations-pollute-well-public-discourse/

Yup. If all you have is the legs of your QB for offence, you're scrooged, but the Rider fans will not acknowledge this. "There are none so blind as those who will not see".

This may be the easiest path to the Grey Cup game and victory there than has been possible for years, maybe decades. The Bombers have come together in all three phases of the game and all the other teams with the possible exception of the TiCats have struggled. Now or wait another 28 years, folks.

I'm sure that Suzuki flies, but the allegation that he has three houses is pure baloney. He would have a hard time traveling to international or national conferences if he did not.

That is BS propagated by Ezra Levant (the Canadian version of Fox "News") and has been proven false years ago. Levant has been fired for spreading this crap and is no longer employable by any credible news service.

Forecast for Calgary on Sunday: +4 degrees and sunny. Go get 'em Bombers!

Fixed that for you.

A really great read. Wolitarsky comes across as humble and grateful for the chance to play a game he loves. He does look a lot like Matthew McConaghy is the movie "Reign of Fire", though.

O'Shea is being cryptic about Santos-Knox's availability. He apparently did not practice yesterday but O'Shea said he might do so today, so the "faint hope" clause is in effect.

You talk about the noise at IGF as if its a bad thing......

There is always room for improvement, but the Riders have had excellent return teams all year and the Bombers did reasonably well. I cannot see that Calgary's special teams are better.

Agreed. I cannot see the Bombers doing anything different than what got them here.

Calgary is not the team of the past few years. Their O-line and D-line are both suspect as is the rest of the team to a lesser extent. As far as the Stamps being favoured, so were the Riders last Sunday. I say the Bombers should go right at them and not be intimidated.

But what of Santos-Knox?

With the AAF set to raid the CFL, the league will have a hard time signing good import talent. This would be a bad time for expansion but if all teams are crappy, it would average out in competitiveness, I guess.

When I peeked yesterday at that thread, there were damned few congratulations and a lot of hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth.

Sorry, but he was assuming Saskatchewan "mating" rituals or lack thereof.

That was a mouthful.

Ripper, I agree with you to an extent. That was a very hard hit, but in re-watching it with the available video from TSN, it was not at all certain that it was a deliberate head shot. It may have been, but the available evidence does not confirm that. I am against "intent to injure" but football is a violent sport and sometimes it is hard to differentiate between intentional and accidental. If there is a deliberate head shot, then the offender should be tossed, fined and suspended.

Wild may be very fit and experienced but he is a good player. However Santos-Knox has been little short of great this year playing beside Mr. Grandmont. Doubtless, Jovan has learned a lot and would be missed if he does not play against Cowgary.

Ian Wild did not look all that good when he was in. He and Sayles were targeted and victimized. Here's hoping that Santos-Knox will be back for next Sunday.

You're welcome, Scorch, but expect verbal abuse and questioning your parentage, intellect, and sexual preferences starting tomorrow.
