Mr Dee Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) Mike Beamish #CFLPA counts 462 ballots of peers voting for peers. Only two #BCLions make all-star team: OT Jovan Olafioye, P Richie Leone. Chris Walby @DarrinBauming @JeffR57 @3DownNation Stop trying to create atmosphere in TO. Give the cup to places/cities that ❤/ promote/appreciate - CFL ??The CFL unveiled the list of officials for Sunday's big game. The name Jeff Harbin appears under Video Official. The same Jeff Harbin who has made several key mistakes recently, in leading up to the Grey Cup. There is no word whether reviews will be reviewed or not. Up until this time...there have been no challenge flags thrown on the announcement. CFL News #Argos inquired about Burris’ services before making trade with #Bombers for Drew Willy in September. - @JDunk12 #CFL Darrin Bauming "I think we've got a good thing going in Winnipeg, and I believe in what we're doing." – #Bombers kicker Justin Medlock -Medlock raved about #Bombers head coach Mike O'Shea tonight. Says O'Shea knows when to be hard on the team and when they need to be lifted. -Dave Dickenson mentions #BCLions' Wally Buono and #Bombers head coach Mike O'Shea as "being right there" with him as @CFL Coach of the Year. Mike Beamish #BCLions LB Solomon Elimimian named #CFL's outstanding defensive player, but not named to #CFLPA all-star team. Huh? Gary Lawless Shoutout to @EdTaitWFC, Rheanne and bluebombers.com as @cfl #cfl commish announces site has increased traffic by 50 per cent CFL Headlines Argos all-star Shawn Lemon signs contract extension goo.gl/fb/WkYuXr via @3DownNation Scott Billeck Bisons star Lalama named U Sports' top defender - via @winnipegnews shar.es/18oeLi via @scottbilleck @umbisons ??"The Dali Lalama of linebackers..." Cam Cole Good line by CFL commish during Q&A. Q: "Terry Jones with The Edmonton Sun, Journal, Post Media." A: "Good to see all three of you." ??This idea put forward by Gary Lawless just might be a great idea... "There have been whispers that Buono might step aside altogether. If he does elect to leave the Lions, the CFL should immediately hire him as a consultant." Game Notes This will be the first-ever post-season start for Burris vs Calgary. This game matches Calgary with a +19 Turnover Ratio (#2) against Ottawa who were -10 (#7 in the CFL). Ottawa has a current streak of 8 games in a row with a higher Time of Possession averaging 31:40 and 6 more plays. Ottawa set a team record with 6,191 passing yards in 2016 and ranked #1 in the CFL for the second year in a row. Ottawa has scored an offensive touchdown in every game this season – one of just two CFL teams to do that in 2016 (with Winnipeg). For the 10th time this season, the Stampeders did not allow a single QB Sack and had just four 2-&-Outs. Jerome Messam averaged 6.0 yards per rush in a career-best 84 yards in total. Calgary outrushed BC 166 yards to 81. Calgary survived back-to-back turnovers in the 3rd Quarter and did not allow BC a point off either giveaway. Calgary has now been in the West Division Final 8 times in the last 9 years and proceeded on to the Grey Cup 4 times. Calgary defence in 2016: The Stamps allowed an average of only 15.0 points per game over their final 6 contests (incl. the playoff win). Calgary has a current streak of 5 games in a row with a higher Time of Possession averaging 32:57 – so with Ottawa’s 8- game TOP advantage streak, one will have to give in this game. CFL History The very first Cheer Extravaganza was in 1923, but was quickly cancelled when an Ottawa cheerleader showed a naked ankle. #CFL #GreyCup ??Did you know? Derek Taylor Reminded of what a great year it was for @andrewharris33. #1 in % carries with YAC, and % of rush yds after contact #Details #CFL #Bombers ??Over Jerome Messam and J. Johnson Impressive.. Arash Madani No joke w/ Stamps, adding two American OL to the Grey Cup roster (starting one at RG). Must protect Bo. Taking smart measures to do so. #CFL Dave Taylor Expect Sask receiver @ShamawdChambers Outstanding Canadian of the 2015 Grey Cup, to hit open market as a free agent this winter. #riders ??No thanks CFL News Betting Chambers ends up either an Argo or a Ticat. #CFL #Ticats #Argos ??And don't forget to watch the U Sports final, the Vanier Cup, starting at 1pm ET. Laval and Calgary. Edited November 27, 2016 by Mr Dee MOBomberFan, johnzo, Mark F and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 And finally... Steve Morley @SteveMorley62 .@garylawless just said on TSN, Nichols wants $450k a season and is going to free agency. Nichols response? Nichols - I am? ??Well, we knew right from the start that something was up with the Bombers QB situation. I mean, 4-5 QBs and none of them signed? SNAP Hut one - Nichols is trolling for more money Hut two - the Bombers are holding fast Hut three - the Bombers are said to be in on that Franklin fellow, and there are draft picks involved. Ah, it must be close to off-season with all this buzz about.. CALGARY LOST!! U Sports Laval 31 Calgary 26 Total offence 998 Total plays 139 Net yards rushing Laval 161 Calgary. 182 10 punts total in the game. Laval had the ball 10 seconds more. Game difference - int. 1st quarter Calgary 37 yd line 1 play later, Laval scores Around 4 minutes left - punt blocked at the Calgary 49 - Laval gets the ball on the Calgary 15 yard line 2:30 left in the game, ball on the Calgary 44. Laval stops Calgary. 1:40 left in the game, 3rd down gamble, less than a yard, Calgary stuffs Laval, take over the ball on their own 34. They move the ball all the way to the Laval 23 yard line. 3rd down gamble. 23 seconds left. The QB hits his receiver at the 14 yard line but is rocked by a tackle and Laval takes over. CFL Game Notes - Only three CFL clubs have ever reached 10 Grey Cup wins in franchise history (Toronto, Edmonton & Winnipeg), Ottawa can become the 10th team in Grey Cup history to reach double-figures with a win over Calgary. Droughts: Ottawa is tied for the longest current drought since their last Grey Cup victory - 26 seasons since 1976 (1977-1996, 2002-05, 2014-15). Winnipeg has also gone 26 seasons without a GC win (1991-2016). Hamilton is next with 17 seasons (1999). 21: Number of players that played in the 2015 Grey Cup for Ottawa that are on their 46-man declared roster for Grey Cup 2016. (54% turnover in just one year). They have 23 players on their 46-man roster with Grey Cup experience. 19: Number of players that played in the 2014 Grey Cup for Calgary that are on their 46-man declared roster for Grey Cup 2016. (59% turnover over two years). 23: No of players who have been on previous Grey Cup winning teams (Calgary 20, Ottawa 3). Calgary has had two previous perfect home seasons of 9-0 and a third this year. They were unable to win the Grey Cup in the first two. Arash Madani Per sources: While Mark Trestman has denied interest in an immediate #CFL return, he's calling old colleagues, gauging coaching landscape. Steve Simmons - Toronto Sun -Take this to the bank: This is Henry Burris’ last game in the CFL ... -Scott Milanovich has quietly told some people he wouldn’t mind being fired as coach of the Argos. Three reasons for that. One, he doesn’t love the setup with the Argos. Two, he has two years guaranteed left on his contract. CFL News Per #CFL sources: The #Argos are negotiating with all-star OL Tyler Holmes on a contract extension. Lending further credence to GM Jim Barker still being empowered to negotiate, and likely surviving....... #CFL #Argos Bob Irving If Calgary doesn't win today's 104th Grey cup they will have some serious explaining to do Enjoy the game everybody!

Now trust me, **** everything about BLM and the Stamps fanbase (almost Riderfan-esque) but let's just hope they kill the RBs quickly and then we can all move on with an exciting offseason...

I believe you will get your wish. I'm calling Stumps by 14 at least. Did you see Dunigan's interview with Burris? Dunigan basically asked him if he really believes his crap about getting no respect. Then Dunigan asked him to let it go. Burris replied about what a great athlete he was and how he wanted to be able to tell everyone to "shove it". Yep, he's an ass.

peggars Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 its win lose for me regardless of who wins. Bo is a ****** but mylan hicks mom is the true GOAT and a win would be nice for her. On the other side, hank is also a ****** but i also lived in ottawa for 5 years so have some subtle homerism in me. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
