This last half of the season has been so bizarrely unpredictable that I wouldn't bet the farm on any particular scenario.

Esks and Riders both look like steaming messes right now. Riders have a good defence (or they used to before their injuries) and the Esks used to have a good offence. Neither look to have a chance against either RBs or TiCats. A pox on both their houses.

FWIW from 3Downnation: "The Lions’ victory also gave the Bombers’ post-season hopes a massive boost: Winnipeg can now secure a post-season berth with at home against Calgary next week. They also hold the tie-breaker with B.C. on point differential and will finish ahead of them in the standings if they finish with the same record. Winnipeg can also finish second in the West if Saskatchewan loses their two remaining games and the Bombers win out. The big game on Saturday is the Calgary-Saskatchewan tilt. A win by the Stampeders and they win the West while a Saskatchewan victory keeps them in the hunt for the division title (while also ending Winnipeg’s hopes of hosting a playoff game. While B.C. can still finish second even with a Rider win, a Calgary victory helps their cause as well. Essentially, both Winnipeg and B.C. fans should be cheering for Calgary (if they weren’t already.)"

Because there are laws against over-serving bar patrons, but problem drinkers can find ways around that.

Watched the game this morning on PVR. When Lulay is healthy and on his game, he has to be considered one of the top two or at worst, three QBs in the league. Wally just out-coached Maas, particularly in the second when it counted, so he hasn't lost all his marbles to old-timers' disease yet. Maas doesn't have much job security left. Bombers may not have been able to sign Posey for one reason or another, but Lordy, he would have good in blue and gold. Sutton was a great pickup for the Lions.

The reality is that problem drinkers' sense of reality tells then that they are either good enough to drive or that they will never get caught, and the odds are with them. Only a small percentage ever get caught. Many of the drunk drivers who lose their licenses just continue to drive.

I expected an entertaining game and was not disappointed. Harrises were clutch players when they had to be.

Well, if life gives you melons, you may be dyslexic.

Still, he was in much better shape than his countrymen.

But could Brissett cut the mustard?

And now we won't have to wait for a Colorado high any more.

I suspect the M.A.D.D. people would have a different opinion.

The difference is that drunks don't need to go to all those meetings.

You didn't hire an alcoholic, you hired a drunk. Big difference.

FYI: the actress who played his secretary was sent to the crowbar Hilton for drug offences.

This is a criminal offence as well as a summary offence, and in many instances, a criminal conviction will cause job loss or suspension.

AKA: drank himself into a coma and tried to drive.

It just means that more of us Canucks now give a hoot.

Which, in your view, exonerates Hughes?

Probably the only way to stand living in Regina is to be half shitfaced.

If memory serves, he was very good. If recovered 100% or close, he would be worth a higher draft pick. Jake the Snake ain't gonna be around forever.

True, but the Riders will have a lot of holes to fill. Bladek sustained a pretty serious injury, and two other Canuck O-linemen are aging. Plus, their overall NI talent may be one of the two thinnest in the league.

I would hate to have this forum deteriorate to the point where it resembles the content and function of Riderfans. Buddhists maintain that whether you love or hate something, you are just as bound to it. Discuss among yourselves.

Is that good enough for a regime in its fifth year?
