Morrow (Sask RB)

Amy chance we’d get Pastrnak straight up for him? And would we want that trade?

Maybe it’s just the city. Winnipeg is on more no-trade clauses than any other NHL team, according to every player poll they’ve ever cranked out.

One other interesting stat: Record as a starter. Harris 36-37-2, Fajardo 23-8.

Keep the emotion in check. Let the emotion come from the witnesses testifying. Of a lawyer starts screaming about the case and how horrible it is, they will lose credibility in the eyes of the court. But if a witness gives wrenching testimony it will hit harder. Hearing the civilian poll worker “Lady Ruby” talk about being targeted by the President and how it has upended her life is much more powerful than Adam Schiff going off on a rant. I read the entire transcript of Trump’s call to Brad Raffenspurger, the Georgia Secretary of State. So much pathetic begging and useless logic he relies on (“I won by a lot, just look at the size of my rallies, no way I could have lost”). And when he is called out for following unverified social media he says “no it’s Trump media” like he thinks that means no bias. Astounding how much effort they put into the lie and the pressuring with zero evidence to back them up. And a tiny point but a hilariously cringe-worthy moment in the call: Trump is talking to and presumably trying to butter up one of Raffenspurger’s lawyers who is in on the call and disagreeing with Trump’s assertions of fraud. His name was Ryan Germany. Trump says “I heard [you] were very difficult, but I’m sure you’re a good lawyer. I like your last name”. Wow. Show me you’re a Nazi without saying you’re a Nazi.

CFL: Congratulations to Glen Suitor on his Hall of Fame Induction. MBB:

When it comes to media reports and speculation, I believe half of what they say half the time.

See above posts re: injury. No definitive update yet on his status.

Best Conan O’Brien joke ever!

Not sure what his status is today, but he got hurt early in the Hamilton game and did not return. Just an FYI.

Don’t need to imagine, saw what happened when a black man knelt during an anthem. Multiply x 1 million.

Was just responding to the question “why would TSN assume we want to watch interviews when no other network does them”. Was just pointing to an example of how the NFL does a whole game of it and it draws a lot of eyeballs and is seen as a fun innovation. As for your advice, you could follow it yourself with all the Suitor hate. Mute the TV, synchronize the OB broadcast from the radio or streaming to the video. You have choices as well.

And vice versa.

Jock Climie would call them “the worst 2-0 team out there right now”. But this team is going to be judged on what it does in November, not now. As long as they bank wins and position themselves well for the playoffs, there is enough experience and talent to improve on stuff so no real concern yet. Remember last year’s start where we beat Hamilton but our secondary looked shaky, beat Toronto but their run game dominated us, we lost somewhat convincingly in Toronto, and but for an offside allowing a do-over on the winning field goal, and a just missed last second FG attempt from the usually reliable Paredes would have lost at home to Calgary. Then some cream puff games against Edmonton. It wasn’t until BC that we looked like the monster that the team became. So unless the “Grey Cup hangover” complacency last for another 4 weeks and we start losing games due to carelessness and don’t bounce back in anger, I see it as just a blip. I’ll check in again if I feel a trend is developing. Being a two-time defending champion does allow for some calm perspective and peace of mind during the turbulence that other teams can’t afford.

At the risk of being called contrarian (which let’s face it some will do any time I comment, so let’s just go ahead) the most popular or at least most talked about innovation in NFL broadcasts is having the Manning brothers sit in their rec rooms a country apart jawing about things and having guests on during the broadcast, with the actual play by play a distant second in terms of focus, and the game itself in a small box in the corner. And college football does that “5 different telecasts” lunacy for the championship with the game-long sideline reports, advanced stats booth, in studio commentary and pretty much anything other than a “normal” broadcast. So it’s not like the CFL is doing something other broadcasts aren’t doing in their own way. Now do I like it? Absolutely not. And certainly it doesn’t seem like most die hard purists do either, judging by the message board responses. But it’s about attracting new eyeballs with new gimmicks. They are not at risk of losing the folks at MBB with this new approach (people enjoy screaming about their hatred of Suitor in multiple posts more than just muting him and synching the radio broadcast, it’s like a drinking game), so they won’t worry about angry comments so long as those comments keep coming. I think it is being poorly executed and a bad concept, but it seems to be the way of the future in most leagues, not solely the CFL, and my demographic is the way of the past. So right or wrong, I think that’s why TSN assumes some (not us, but a target demo they want) want to see a new wrinkle.

Suitor agrees.

Funny, Suitor was the one who said the call should go both ways. I guess when he says something pro-Bomber it doesn’t count, right?

On which play? The end zone pass?

So you’re saying we’ve solved our kicker issues. Phew.

Question - if a team takes or draws a penalty during a one or two-point convert attempt and the play is a do-over with penalty yardage applied, can the converting team change their choice of convert from one point to two point or vice versa?

So while the feed went down after the Ottawa INT. 2 and out for Ottawa, Augustine gets in and rips off a 23 yard run, RedBlack INT called back in a penalty, and Collaros sacked again. So not much action missed.

There’s always the radio if you want. 😁 To be honest, you’re not missing much so far game-wise.

That sounds like a nice set-up. That makes sense to me. I was just confused by the original statement because it came across as “I bought this really nice jersey but I’m afraid to ever wear it because it might get dirty, so I’m never going to”. If they said it was on display or the intent of the purchase was to display it all along it would make sense to me.

Ok. Whatever one’s preference is. I have my replica ones displayed in my work office, the customized fan ring I got I wear all the time. Polish it up if it gets dull. Again, to each their own, I just know I didn’t drop a lot of cash on a clothing item to keep it hidden away, and if I wasn’t going to seal it in a glass frame and was worried about staining it, I’d have second thoughts about getting it in the first place.
