Santos Knox picks off Glenn's first pass......
Medlock misses 48 yd FG attempt...
Carter with bad decision to run it out of end zone....
Good Fogg punt return has Blue set up deep....
Nichols still telegraphing some throws......
...but then looks off, and hits Denmark in middle of end zone...
DE Jeffcoat back to early season form....
Glenn finds wide open Cartier, who completes 85 yd pass and run TD....
Better push inside on DL.....Glenn sacked couple of times, already...
Fogg back to field punt, on one side....while Leggett suddenly appears on the other...
Rider punt  coverage pulled to wrong side....Moe beats one man....
.....and is off to the races 95 yds for punt return TD.   Some MOS trickery.
Medlock bombs punt over Carter's head for 85 yd single.....
Glenn has Roosevelt open past Heath, up the middle......
...Walker pinballs right off of the receiver.....who takes it the distance.....
The long pass plays given up on D.....continues.  15-13 Bombers.
Crapinga tries surprise short kickoff.....but Blue recover..
Nichols putting mustard on the passes, today.....
Matt then throws to corner of end zone......
Nothing wrong in the state of Denmark.   Denny has his 2nd TD.
Glenn completes 5 passes.....the last to Bagg, down to the 1.
Lafrance punches it in.......22-20 Bombers
In last minute....Adams falls down, untouched in end zone.....
.....and draws phantom "accidental" penalty......
No idea why Jones does not challenge that one.
29-20 Bombers at the end of a wacky first half....
A. Harris not a factor, at all.....so far...
Bomber D on pace to give up over 500 yds passing.....
Medlock pounds long kickoff single......
Rider ST unit, not having a good day....
Mr. Leggett outfights Holley for 50/50 ball......
....then breaks Roosevelt's tackle.....and takes it all the way.....
38-20......comfortable lead....but with our D, one never knows....
Glenn goes down......and comes up holding his throwing hand...
In goes Bridge.....who promptly hits a......you guessed it....
......yet another wide open receiver (Holley) for 6.
Bridge runs in 2 pt convert......38-28.....not cooled out, just yet...
JFG and Harris get first downs, into Rider territory....
Bombers hurry out of the huddle.....and Nichols puts it up...
....to a wide open (repetitive, I know) Lankford in the end zone....
Bridge looking a bit less of a comer, at this point....
Mike Miller does not take no for answer on special teams....
Bombers start to eat up clock , with Harris.....
Flanders catch/run to the 3....negated by penalty.
Medlock makes it 48-28.   Comfortable, at this point....
Nichols scrambles.....no slide....and keeps going for 40....
...until ball is punched out of his hands, for the turnover....
However, Randle picks off Bridge in next series.....
Harris pounds away, as the Blue kill the clock.
Nichols 3 TD/0 picks.....Blue special teams very good....
Blown coverages and 250 yds in YAC.....not what you want on D.
But Bombers now 8-3.   Riders pushed back to pretender status....
Another huge win, at IGF...
Another huge gin for DOD.....

Yesterday was the first time I ever heard the term accidental pass interference. I've heard the term "incidental" but not accidental. 

You heard Rod Black say it too many times.

Everybody makes fun of Proulx's accent.  

The worst ever was a Bomber game in Calgary where the Stamps kept sending in an offensive lineman as an extra receiver, and the rule at the time was that you had to declare yourself eligible and the refs had to announce it to the crowd, to avoid the trick play catching the other team off guard. Proulx said about six times "Calgary number sixty-tree is declared as illegible for dis play". It got so bad Bob Irving said "Poor Andre Proulx. They really need to change this rule so the refs don't announce it. This is getting hard to listen to".

I watched that play over and over again.  No where can I see the Rider player touch Adams.  Adams trips himself.

Wrong.. right before his mis-step, defender clips his calf, knocking his stride off.  its pretty obvious, dunno how you missed it.

Once, back in the day, Ricardo Montalban was on a late night show with some cowboy singer.

The cowboy singer made a crack about his accent.  (which is a dumb thing to do: Ricardo sounds great in any language)

"When you hear someone speak with with an accent, it means they speak more than one language," said Montalban.  "How many languages do you speak?"

I can speak about 1.2 languages, so I don't make cracks about accents anymore.

The world of Comedy is full of all kinds ofword/ language jokes, including accent jokes, Jackie Mason, one of the funniest guys, part of his shtick, was his bizarre New York, Jewish accent/

"some people think I talk funny". That was part of what made him funny, his wierd accent. same Russell Peters.

ditto, Irish accents, and words, scottish accents/words,  comedian Don Burnstick from Wpg., cockney slang, (Catherine Tate, her east london character)

Thurston Howell, the pompous rich guy, with the fake upper crust New England accent.

The  North Dakot, norwegian accent, in Fargo. The Sarah Palin imitation, that a lot of people thought was so funny, with it's thick accent.

 "the claw" in get smart.

Ricardo Montalban, probably didn't spent much time trying to be funny,...

Good for hiim for being multilingual, but Maybe he was taken off guard when he said that.

couldn't hep  masef.... sorry this got a little fur aweye from Foo baw. (Texan accent)

Aaah. Good old Ricardo Montalban (Mendelbaum) and his "Corinthian Leather" voice over commercials for Chrysler.

Off track, but Corinthian leather was a marketing construct, like Häagen-Dazs.

They each sound foreign and sophisticated, but both are works of fiction.

But not Chrysler's. The Chryslers of that era were all junk- bloated chrome-infested barges.

Montalban was great. I remember him playing so many characters with that accent.

The Fords and the GM products weren't much better.  We used to head West every July from Winnipeg in a 1975 Buick Lesabre.  The engine would get to Calgary half an hour before the rest of us did.
