Earlier in the season I was critical of TSN for cutting away from a Bombers game to start the next one and a couple people heeled on me for not PVR'ing TSN3.  So I set TSN 3 to record Bombers games after that.  Had a busy afternoon and was thrilled to learn the "Bombers channel" actually joined the game in progress in the 3rd quarter.  Fortunately, a buddy texted me shortly before 4 to ask if I was watching and I able to set a new recording.

Moral of the story is, record every TSN channel because lord only knows what and when they'll show.

Thats my contribution to this thread. 😉

 

Go Bombers!

Truth. I had it set for tsn3 and only noticed at the last minute that I needed to record tsn1

it's really not that obscure.  The world's most interesting man ad campaign was pretty popular.  I actually assumed that you were quoting from it.

Complete coincidence - we didn’t have a TV when I was growing up.

This ad campaign wasn't that long ago.

They stopped watching as soon as the Riders got eliminated. Most of them know nothing about the CFL outside of what happens on their team.

even then it's probably 50/50 that they actually know much about their own team anyway.

I agree with both of you.....I just couldn't help laughing this morning after reading some more of their stuff..... they are actually worried the bombers could pull this off.  The reasoning they come up with is really out there somewhere.....lol

No skin off my butt I wanted Nichols gone last last year. 

Any chance we can let this thread die?

Thanks.

Any chance you can block all the Rider trolls that have shown up this evening? They're pretty easy to find.
