One of the most interesting things that was quickly skipped over was when the female attorney hired by the GOP to grill Ford touched on a note in Kavanaugh's calendar dated July 1st. That date and the notation appeared to line up with the events reported by Ford and named Judge as present. As soon as Mitchell pointed out that date and was apparently going to ask Kavanaugh about it, the Republican members of the committee called a halt and fired Mitchell. Hm.....

Inches? Centimeters?

For the winner(s), it is pretty much pure luck.

Tell that to the lottery winners.

Obviously, you have not been watching Adarius Bowman the past few games. And to nit-pick, by definition it is impossible to give more than 100%.

Not even close comparing Reilly vs Manziel. Reilly's rapport with his receivers is phenomenal.

If you are interested in exploring the concept of luck vs non-local causality, you may wish to research the work of the late Princeton Physics prof Dr. Robert Jahn. His research produced strong evidence that consciousness mediates implicate matter and events.

And what does that have to do with us slagging Collaros and Bridge? Not that Nichols is the second coming of Doug Flutie, but he is still better than Collaros, as poorly as Nichols has been this year. The Riders are in playoff contention in spite of their quarterbacking, not because of it.

I'm sure that Jones is fantasizing about next February when he can re-sign Durant. Right. Durant must be desperate to publicly kiss up to Jones in a faint hope of being invited back. On the other hand, if he was still there, he would be far and away the best quarterback there.

You are what your record says you are, and the Bombers record says they are the worst team in the west and the third-worst in the league.

I am in awe of your optimism.

Bombers have to actually win a playoff game this year or else. I am not sure if even that is justification for retaining this sad lot of coaches.

Despite the win against the hapless Larks, I cannot see the Bombers winning more than one, at most two, of the remaining games even if Harris and Demski are back in the lineup. After nearly 50 years of watching, wishing and hoping, I've seen enough to be realistically pessimistic about this year's edition. Our NI talent is very good and the whole team is better than it has shown, but the whole is less than the sum of its parts and its not all Nichols.

Agreed. Considering the pool of football players being churned out in the US with a population of 330,000,000 logic says that it ought to be much easier to find import players than fish in the Canadian draft pool.

Bombers lost because they played like crap and have done so except for a couple of games. Riders have won because they have had games handed to them, save perhaps for the Calgary game. Good teams win consistently, bad teams find ways to lose. Apart from the likelihood of the Bombers missing the playoffs yet again, it really irks me that we are probably going to see the Riders do well enough that we will have to see Jones again next year.

Agreed. Every player is going to have an off-play or off-day but Medlock has proven himself to be the best leg man in the league for years now. My only concern about him is that we need to start grooming a replacement.

You are correct, sir. I sit corrected.

Yup, and he had clear sailing all the way to the end zone. Bethel-Thompson flat-out blew the toss. thing.Good quarterbacks don't do that sort of thing.

This is like watching midget wrestling.

Wasn't when we played them.

Do not lose sight of the fact that we are the only team in the CFL to not have beaten a team with a .500 or better record. No real reason to celebrate just yet.

This is a more realistic scenario than I am comfortable thinking about.

A few thoughts from last night's game: The only thing the Bombers proved was that they are better than the Al's Nichols was not much better than Manziel, and Manziel was not good at all Bombers still cannot make half-time adjustments to the offence Thompkins can play well in thus league. Harris's brittleness has to be a growing concern. Even if the Bombers manage to make the playoffs, they will be one and done again. Nichols was better but he still ain't good.

FYI: Walby on the pregame show has opined that Nichols has to shine in the first quarter or his confidence and the confidence of the team in him will wilt. Sounds about right, even if dire.

If things do not go well for the Big Blue, you may need to set up a large-bore IV for your libations.
