I've heard a bit of talk from co-workers so far, only one has been willing to follow through their talk with a wager when I offer it up, so I'm eating free tomorrow if the Bombers win tonight.

The biggest one I wondered about was actually the last play of the game, from watching the games so far it seems coaches can challenge PI in the final 3 minutes, although I'm not 100% sure on that. But if Montreal wasn't going to try for a rouge why not just throw a hail mary on that last play and then challenge for PI. If you get a PI call you kick a field goal and win, if not you still lost.

Edmonton also has 0 parking iirc.
parking definitely sucks at commonwealth. There's an LRT station near the stadium, there are quite a few park and rides and 30-40 bars/restuarants that do shuttle service, although probably close to half of that is all the boston pizza locations here (there are BP's everywhere here). Big reason I don't go to many games is the lack of parking, with what the travel time would be I go for the more comfortable seating at home, cheaper drinks and settle for 58" screen and surround sound.
The area around Commonwealth sure looks like North Winnipeg.
my brother and his gf were moving out here and asked me to look at an apartment near there, I said no, find a place south of the river if you want to be in that part of town. I wouldn't live around there, they drove by when they came out and then thanked me.

I haven't got to see a game at IGF yet since I live in Edmonton, but I've made it to one day of training camp both years at IGF. The day I was there this year I was sitting right in front of the media group. The entire time they talked about photo radar tickets, they weren't watching training camp or talking about anything relevant in any way. When Gary Lawless showed up halfway through the day I moved on because it's bad enough when I have to listen to him talk about anything on TSN.

That only works if the top 6 teams in the league are the 5 west teams and the top east team. So if you assume that there aren't any weak teams in the west then I can agree with it, but I don't buy the premise that every west team will prove to be better than the bottom 3 east teams which is why I didn't bother to include it in my original question.
For your scenario all it takes is one weak team in the west and then Calgary plays 6 weak east games and 2 weak west games for a total of 8 games against "bad" teams
Toronto then would have 6 against "bad" east teams and 2 against the "bad" west team for the identical total of 8 games against "bad" teams.

2. Toronto - they play eastern teams
I see this quite often on here, and honestly don't understand it in a 9 team format, can you or someone else explain why you think this will be relevant to overall record?
5 West teams play 2 games against each east team (8) and remainder (10) against west
4 East teams play 2 games against each west team (10) and remainder (8) against east
So a west team plays 10 against west and 8 against east
And a east team has 10 against west and 8 against east

Bryant Turner should have been in Winnipeg. There was zero reason for him to stay for 1 week. Like Troy Westwood say. You are different than a professional athlete. Almost 90% of the pro athletes actually miss the birth of their child to play in a game. Some even miss a meaningless game in MLB or NBA where as a CFL game has way more importance. Chris Walby said it best. Plan to have a child outside of football season. And that is the truth. It's like if you have a regular job that you know in the fall you will be busy. Majority of people would plan that. In fact isn't that just a basic life lesson to plan the birth of your child?
I don't have kids, want kids or even really like kids, and with that said, your ignorance is absolutely astounding.
Well that is a bit rude calling it ignorant. Do you feel the same way when everyone says the same thing? or just me? Cause I think it's safe to say everyone in professional sports feels the same way. The kid was born last week not yesterday.
If anyone else said it my reaction would have been identical, it was early enough in the thread I didn't realize you had intellectual shortcomings yet. And for the record what I found most ignorant wasn't saying he should miss the game, it was about having his kid outside of football season. There are so many situations where that just isn't practical or possible. So I felt my original phrasing if anything was nicer than you deserved.

I had a lot of trouble understanding exactly how the removal of waivers can lead to the direct sale of players. How are the two things linked?
Can someone explain it to me, possibly in terms a young child would understand?
NFL Team A says to CFL Team B we would like to sign player C, we will give you $X if you release player C. Without waivers player C is now a free agent and signs with NFL team A instead of being able to be picked up on waivers by another CFL team. At least this is what I can gather from the idea, but don't know the CFL waiver process from the old CBA since teams seemed to release guys to try the NFL before without them having to clear waivers.

Yeah, I'm really just kinda giggling about how this board gets after a win. Need to keep an even keel and remember where we were last year. Things just don't turn around that quickly. Let's hope for a competitive game vs Ottawa and continued signs of progression. If everything regresses to last year -type levels, then this place is going to melt down. #FireEveryone
To be fair that wasn't just a win. When was the last time you saw the bombers play that complete of a game and take it to another team basically start to finish. I think the reaction wouldn't be the same if we'd won 24-21. I think the reaction in this case is driven more by how they won than the fact they won.

watch the game if you pvr'd it. The throw was behind him, he slowed down because he had to try get back to the ball. If he keeps running he's nowhere near the ball. It was a ball that could have been caught, but not an easy catch because he had to slow and turn back to reach out for it being behind him.
