Watch it leak right before the Argos lose the East Final.

https://3downnation.com/2021/11/22/edmonton-cleans-house-elks-fire-presson-sunderland-elizondo/ The board of directors of the Edmonton Elks Football Club has terminated the contracts of president and CEO Chris Presson, general manager and vice president of football operations Brock Sunderland and head coach Jaime Elizondo, effective immediately. FLUSHHHHHHHH

I'm almost rooting for the Stamps so we can see which starters they leave home.

Chris Jones is gonna declare himself Emperor of the Elks for life

Glad that Bombers are not in that position anymore. So nice to have a stable team.

And to think he missed a game. Quite the sophomore season for #89!

Definitely not a surprise.

**** them and **** Dickenson. Honestly not sure which team I dislike more right now. I don't care who gets here from the "Someone Technically Has to Win Bowl". It will be satisfying to smack either around and send them home.

Kids booked!

It's tough with only being able to roster 2 QBs without impacting the rest of the lineup...

I'm cheering for Calgary because of this and well if it was the Riders versus Alien overlords, I'd cheer for the Alien Overlords and human imprisonment.

How funny would it be if Sankey wasn't vaccinated?

Pretty sure the big one was the LB were you had Gauthier and Cadwallader in at the end of the game pretty sure it was Antiga and Hanson at DE too. Along with Houston and Hallett in secondary.

The new airline travel restrictions don't take effect until after the semi's. Dickenson has already said he will field his best roster vaccinated or not. https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/domestic-travel (Jesse was quicker than I)

Nope. Not until after Nov. 30. And Dave has already said he's gonna play them all this weekend.

So many terrible, meaningless games this season. Can't wait for play-offs to get started.

Can we root for the earth to open up and swallow both the Riders and Stamps?

Mine too!!

I think our backs have shown that as a tandem they bring enough to carry the day. No disrespect to the GOAT. I want him back, but the team is loaded.

It's Semi-Final Week. Eastern Semi-Final - Montreal @ Hamilton - Sunday, November 28th, Noon (Central). Long range weather: High of 1, feels like -3. Wind 16, gusting to 24. Western Semi-Final - Calgary @ Saskatchewan - Sunday, November 28th, 3:30pm (Central) Long ranger weather: High of 1, feels like -3. Wind 16, gusting to 24. (Oddly, the same as Hamilton, even the wind) Should be an exciting weekend.

a million people spontaneously volunteering to pick him up at the airport....

This city would go nuts

You could probably give him a signing bonus.

I suspect it's all a matter of "do we have enough cap room" to pay him a pro-rated salary for a couple of weeks. I can't imagine they wouldn't, if they had money for Beggleton..I'm sure they could make it happen. Especially if McGuire has a groin injury. This all just makes way too much sense....spend the next couple weeks learning Buck's playbook, and away we go...

@Mike called it before the season.

Montreal and Riders move on. Riders will have some horseshoe magic luck calls in that game that will throw them over the top. Montreal will run the ball 25+ times and win a tight one.

Chris Jones just put his beer down

The only person sad to see this is probably Cornelius, his biggest booster is suddenly out of a job

Thank goodness, if they weren't vaccinated the death toll would likely already be higher. This is a reminder that the vaccine is not a 100% cure-all and you can still catch COVID if you are vaccinated, but the symptoms should be less severe

Hamilton wins by 6 Sask wins by 3 I would love to play Saskatchewan at home. Fajardo can't throw anything passed 5 yards and with potentially cold weather it's gonna be run game or his ass on the ground all day.

that is the most ridiculous thing ever....but my goodness did I laugh. I also think that's the very first TikTok thing I've ever seen....I feel sad now.

That's insane... it's like their just trying to get as far as possible while knowing they have no chance in the WF... a smart move would be to have moved on from those guys already and get the back ups ready to play...

I know a lot of people are hoping for another Bombers vs riders beat down... but after that sour taste of a loss to Calgary, I would really like to show those guys what our full line up looks like... they celebrated like they won the cup... plus I would never, ever cheer for the riders, so in theory, I'll be cheering for Calgary next week... I'll be at the game Dec 5... and I'll be cheering loud for the blue no matter who shows up to lose...

I was 20 years old when he started calling Bomber games. Now, I'm 66. That's amazing.

Veteran back-up = not developing our next QB. You have to pick one or the other.

Season Tickets at $79! I actually had a better deal when I got my first set in 2000, $50.

Opponent unknown, but the Bombers will host the Western Final for the first time in 49 years. Can Harris come back? I'm assuming McGuire dresses behind Collaros? Who's in/who's out? Long, long range weather (as of November 22): High -3, feels like -9. Wind 21. (as of November 24): High -11, feels like -18. Wind 26. (as of November 26): High -5, feels like -10. Wind 18, gusting 27. (as of November 29): High -9, feels like -14, Wind 14, gusting 24. (as of December 1): High -7, feels like -12, Wind 20, gusting 30. (as of December 3): High -5, feels like -12, Wind 33, gusting 50. This is interesting, the wind has picked up SIGNIFICANTLY, to the point that I don't even think the kicking game is going to matter. But, the high on Monday is -22, which tells me it's likely the temperature will get much colder prior to or during the game. The weather is definitely going to be a factor but we're still too far out to see what the full impact will be. It's going to be fun. Do what Willie says and no one gets hurt. Who's coming in from out of town?

interesting thoughts....

Let's not call 3DN contributor's "writers'". I think even that is generous.

I love this comment... and now I really want to play Calgary in that game... I'm sure the Bombers will remember this...

I believe that the league mandated that all players must travel together, they wouldn't allow exceptions for teams that would have the ability to bus some players separately.

I disagree. You field the best team you possibly can every week, especially in the playoffs. There is no tomorrow if you don't win today. The Stamps are not a strong enough team to look past the Riders and they are screwed no matter what against the Bombers. Their best hope is to field the best team they possibly can to beat the Riders, and hope for the football gods, the weather, a Bomber team not ready etc. and steal a win in the West Final.

They will have to leave them at home this week.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/janice-morley-lecomte-manitoba-mla-restaurant-vaccine-card-1.6257442 She's since said that it was an error and that she's used whatever paper she's been using multiple times at other restaurants to prove her vaccination status. She said she is fully vaccinated and has since downloaded the proper app... Something smells fishy here. MLA doesn't know about the standard procedure for checking vaccination status introduced by her own government? And she's used incorrect verification multiple times before? I believe it was simple an error like I believe Audrey Gordon had no knowledge of the Springs grad or indoor mask requirements as the health minister. Morley Lecomte was previously in the news for refusing to disclose her vaccine status as well. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/special/coronavirus/silence-on-vaccine-status-not-an-option-for-public-servants-574907732.html#long-story

Not sure where to put this, so we'll stick it here. As we gear up for a West Final in a couple weeks, here's a throwback to 1994 courtesy of Our Man Tait...
