I did some digging and it turns out that the winner is determined by total points scored, regardless whether the points are through touchdowns, field goals or rouges. So yea, 18 points is 18 points.

Just watching the Grey Cup again on TSN I got to say this if they plan on winning more grey cup games they can’t rely on 6 field goals.

Live look at how @Noeller is dealing with the lack of sports:

It may be helpful to distinguish between pandemic and epidemic. A "pandemic" means that it is widespread, whereas "epidemic" means intense and localized.

Or - more deaths are caused by the flu, diabetes, and cancer - some even mention abortions. Together with clips of some quack, saying we just need high doses of vitamin C and D. This point of view is the one I find most frustrating.

So glad I have all 3 playoff games on the PVR.

This is why we're getting a jump start and "over reacting". Anything to not end up like that. I have a friend that I went to high school with that married a fella from Italy so is married with kids over there. Day 23 of quarantine. Home schooling the kids. 300 Euro fine for being caught outside of your home. It's dystopian... So crazy. What we're doing now with our own lockdowns is perfectly reasonable given how this COULD go...

"Today WHO declared the coronavirus COVID-19 a “pandemic” – when there is not the slightest trace of a pandemic. A pandemic might be the condition, when the death to infection rate reaches more than 12%. In Europe, the death rate is about 0.4%, or less. Except for Italy which is a special case, where the peak of the death rate was 6% (see below for further analysis). China, where the death rate peaked only a few weeks ago at about 3%, is back to 0.7% – and rapidly declining ..."

It is a sad commentary on humans that there is never a lack of predators willing to traffic on human fear and misery. Alex Jones (he of Infowars) and disgraced evangelist Jimmy Bakker have both been advertising "cures" for the COVID19 illness and have been warned to stop immediately or face criminal prosecution.

Watched that today as well,honestly,got a little choked up haha. You see all the fans tearing up and it just gets to you,I blamed the tears on the bedroom fan to the girlfriend,didnt wanna look weak.

In my line of work if I take over a job from someone, I stick with what they were doing until I have a good understanding of it, then I change things to suit my style or where I think there's room for improvement. Sometimes it stays similiar, sometimes everything changes. That's what I expect from Buck, he should already understand the system and what he feels works and doesn't work, so I expect him to change things to suit his style. His style as a QB was never to cowardly check down every play, I suspect that won't be his style as an OC. It really comes down to what Buck thinks will improve the offense. If he thinks more aggressive playcalling will do that, then I expect that's what we'll see. While I don't like Lapo as a coach because I don't like his playcalling, I do respect his playbook and knowledge. He designs some very nice plays. So I hope we keep a lot of the playbook, and just utilize it different in how we call the game.

Way to ruin my parade 🤣 Fine.... longest in current history

Or we would be the longest regining Grey Cup Champs in History...... 12+ straight months lol

Many have changed from 1 to 2. iv been following this for awhile just out of intrigue. People at work laughing about the media fear mongering and it’s all nothing. A week later they’re consumed with how awful this is and we have to be protected.

I was being sarcastic

I'm 3, for sure.... Down the middle is always the best way to be. 1 and 2 are difficult to deal with at the best of times, in any situation.

Google is a purveyor of fake news, obviously

Google was surprised to learn that they were creating a website to provide info on Covid-19. Despite the President's lie, they are NOT creating a website.

So a new claim going around on Twitter is that Trump rejected the WHO testing kits so that they could be privatized. Fisher is being touted as the new private company manufacturing the tests and Trump supposedly has stock in that company. Another aspect is that with private testing, an FOIA request cannot be made to disclose the number of tests performed and the number of positive results, which could then underreport the real numbers of those affected. Now I have no proof of this claim so I’d like confirm or refute it with evidence, so I invite all those who know to offer evidence for or against it. I do note one key aspect of the Trump presser yesterday was the presence of businessmen from Target, Walmart, Walgreens, and Google involved with the battle against the virus and them being invited to speak as opposed to hordes of medical scientists.

I saw some clips and he definitely gives the impression that he's sick. ******* arrogant ******* gonna infect a bunch more people because of his idiocy. You can't bullshit a pandemic away and trying to is only going to make things worse. Best course of action is be upfront about everything and give people good solid information they can use. This is a global thing. It's bigger than one piece of **** trying to get re-elected.

Well said. All I'm saying is that the flu is not to be underestimated for it's ability to kill and this bug looks to be one of the worst. I'm all for washing of hands and quarantines. I don't even want a milder flu-type bug. The thing is, it's news, and it's being hyped up pretty good with predictable results. It's not like we haven't seen this sort of thing before and it never seems to justify the hype.

CDC has stated that the mortality rate for the virus has been estimated to be 3-3.5%,

I hope you’re right, but for the moment I’ll continue to listen to the experts and follow their suggestions. There’s a lot of unknown and I agree that the last thing you want is panic. People need to keep their s*** together, but also not be naive. I’d rather Canada (and the rest of the World) overreacted and be overly cautious than under. I hope you and everyone else who believes we are worrying for nothing can say “I told you so” . I’ve got a two week trip to Florida booked at the end of April that I’ve been waiting all year for. I received an email at 5:30 this afternoon saying that the health minister and the wrha are advising that all doctors and healthcare professionals not leave the province until further notice.

At one point years ago, I was on the infection control committee in a small rural hospital and that was the stat we were given.

Nobody wants NHL in July & August. Except diehards. If they did play from end of June until almost September expect a shortened 48 game season to start in January.

man can you imagine someone like Winston Churchill saying "I don't take responsibility" after the fall of France or the sack of Singapore and Hong Kong?

A tweet for everything...

Pathetic coward.

"Former Rider" Is the 3DN headline. Never played a game.

1/3?? Based on what? Wuhan Province has 60 million people and was isolated... there were only 80,000 cases Outside of China, the mortality rate is around .5%... the initial rate was high because of smog and chain smoking led to a higher percentage of pre-existing respiratory problems... I'd be surprised if in a week or two - with more testing - that the percentage doesn't end up close to that of the flu

This is called "jumping before you are pushed". McMahon has saved face.

I think it’s awesome that you post it, you’re definitely more on the ball about looking than anyone else - just provide some context for the folks who aren’t sure.

Post away...but I agree that some context would only add to the discussion.

#Finishedbusiness

#forthew remains one of the Bombers best ever marketing campaigns. Kudos to the team that came up with it. Beats "we've got it going on" anyways.

Darvin could drop every single pass thrown his way next year and I will still forever respect him for the way he played and carried himself in a year where we won the Grey Cup.

250 deaths recorded today in Italy, over 15,000 infected
