Yep. On the whole, I would say TSN does a better job of it and the quality is much improved, but the old CBC casts just have that vintage feel to them.

I would agree with that, he seemed to be more annoyed with the league and voting situation etc. I understand where 17to85 is coming from, I have just never bought into trash talking.

You dont talk **** at all. You respect your opponent before, during, and after the game.

I would wholeheartedly disagree with this sentiment. You love the game, play hard, but above all, you show your opponent respect and sportsmanship. Even if they are a total dbag, you maintain your composure and the integritt of the sport.

Found the full game footage of that 2005 game for you on youtube if you are interested. Also, you're a big stats guy so you probably know this... But that was Buck Peirce's first start as a CFL quarterback (at least according to the PBP guys in the vid)

Don't care who it is. Cant wait to crown their ass.

Cool story! First off - Carol is a class act and just generally a wonderful person to talk to. I've been a season ticket holder since 2011, but we always try to renew our tickets with her, if we can. My broadcasting memories are few and far between, though I will say one of my favorite Irving calls was the "Better late than never" lightning game on August 3, 2016. I was on vacation in Ontario at the time and out staying out a cabin, with the time change it was even later there! Game took forever to get going but the Bombers absolutely steamrolled the Ti-Cats. I just remember playing cards with my wife pretty late, then just laying down, listening to Irving's smooth voice as he called the game, all in a living room that looked like it came straight out of the 1970s. Dug up the old highlights if anyone is interested: https://www.cfl.ca/games/2300/hamilton-tiger-cats-vs-winnipeg-blue-bombers/

Hey guys remember that time a ball was thrown directly at Odell Willis in the GC and he just dropped it and decided to get a DUI a few months later instead.

Guys I just realized something, for the first time ever, the winner of the playoff game at IGF West on Sunday will not be the Bombers. History in the making!

How 'bout now?

Did we sign him yet?

I just cant imagine using Cheezies as a suppository.

Alright this is kinda gross but my father in law who drives lots his secret for reducing bathroom breaks is he has Cheezies as snacks because they dehydrate you lol. Seriously dude is a driving machine

I want the Riders to win because (1) They (supposedly) have less unvaccinated players which would reduce the chance of an outbreak infecting the Bombers. (2) The thought of our club profiting off Rider fans coming to IGF paying to watch their team get spanked is nothing short of poetic.

Nah, i would look at it from this perspective... He's hurt and the #2. Putting him in a nothing game risks him complicating his injury further, besides with the game being meaningless, there was little upside in starting him. I am sure if that were a playoff game McGuire could have gone if necessary.

As much as I love Streveler, it just doesn't make sense.. New OC, same recievers... Also although McGuire/Brown are by no means worldbeaters, they were serviceable if the unthinkable happens. Not only that... What kind of message would that send to Brown/McGuire if we just airlift someone in like that? Especially right before the playoffs.

Screw that have him fill in for Harris at RB lol.

Marino was also one of the two players thrown out of the Banjo Bowl this year.

I missed the game last night - someone fill me in on the important stuff... Did Wilder flex!??!?!

He could've filled in as kicker before we re-found Castillo.

LOL Montreal right now. Redblacks on pace to be just the 3rd team in CFL history to average less than a touchdown per game in offensive points.

LMAO Montreal, you serious right now?

Also I cant imagine how frustrating it would be to be in a workplace where not everyone is in favour of vaccinations. Especially in football where you may be also tackling that person in practice and getting up close and personal

Was Ali Mourtada. Thats DEFINITELY why they got rid of him.

Next time you screw up at work just remember someone was paid to put this Redblacks roster together
