Biggest question coming out of Sundays win
I'd prefer they tighten things up and at least get the easy calls right, but if they're going to be that bad I think you're right.

Bye Bob (Irving Retirement)
https://globalnews.ca/pages/audio-vault-cjob/ Funny you ask because I was just about to look it up myself for the same reason.

3 start another pretender crowned and Grey Cup bound
I'd like to recognize Collaros for his effort in tracking down the guy who picked up the ball on Wolly's fumble. Full marks for not giving up and getting the guy out of bounds even though he had blocker or two with him.

GDT - Western Final - Riders @ The Champs
Fair point, there may have been a couple of slips, but I still stand by the comment that BC Place was worse this year for that. All things considered, the field was in really good shape for this game and wasn't as much of a factor as it could have been.

GDT - Western Final - Riders @ The Champs
Duke was doing that back when he was with Edmonton as well... it's how he gets open to make the catches that he makes, but for some reason they always allow it for him. When he was coming back to the CFL, that was my #1 reason for not wanting him on our team. In one of the post game interviews on the radio, one of the defenders said he was near Osh when the ref was talking about it and overheard them say that the review looked at everything and that there was no OPI.

GDT - Western Final - Riders @ The Champs
Hear a Fajardo interview before the game where he said something about how they were a team and how nobody points fingers when things go wrong... wasn't he the guy moaning about the fact that his receivers couldn't come down with the "50/50" throws?

GDT - Western Final - Riders @ The Champs
The field was fine... didn't see anyone slipping or anything all game. Saw more slipping and sliding at BC Place this season in multiple games.

Odds and Sods - Riders vs Bombers - Western Conference Final
The issue was that I was at the game... I would have needed to delay live action to sync up with the radio

Odds and Sods - Riders vs Bombers - Western Conference Final
I tried listening to CJOB on my phone at the game, but it was too far behind the action that it just didn't make sense. Listened to the pre and post game shows though.

2021 (??) CFL Season
If it's the guy from the Arkells who they had in the booth the other day, I don't mind it. He is a fan of the game and understands it. He knew when to stop talking and is knowledgeable enough that if the guys in the booth do ask him to do a play call, he could probably pull it off.

Suckskatchewan @ Champs PGT
I think if there were a limited number for each game, that would be a safer way for them to do it. That being said, if you would otherwise only have 26,000 in the seat, and now you get an extra 2,000 kids, that doesn't really cost the team anything, and they make money on concessions, so unless there would otherwise be a sellout, I think it's a win-win for the team.

Doesn't the 6 game expires after WF? If so, they may be keeping him for the Grey Cup.

Wow, my sister had a Polka Dot Door game back in the 80s... I never knew that it was anything more than that.

Can't agree with you more... West Side SUCKS!!!!!

GDT - Week 16 - The Champs @ The Stamps
In the case of the rules, Quarterback is being used as the designated 2 spots on the roster list, not in the number of people who can play the position. As someone else pointed out, if QB1 and QB2 were to be injured in a game, someone else (like a receiver) would have to step in to take the snaps. List the 3rd QB under any position you want, they use up one of the American (and likely DI) spots on the roster.

Semi-Finals - Sunday, November 28th
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.

The Winnipeg Thread
Oh, I'm aware that it's gone through many ownership changes. The difference this time is that she's a vocal nut job and that stink is now associated with the Fun Mountain name. The new owners would definitely want to distance themselves from that. Agreed though that it isn't the same draw that it used to be and that the land is the most valuable part of that... needs the right person to come in with some ideas to reimagine the place as something that will bring people in.

The Winnipeg Thread
Whoever buys it better change the name before doing anything else, otherwise they'll still be associated with her.

2021 (??) CFL Season
That was my question, are we at 100%, or is there still a hold out? If there is a holdout, theories on who it is 😀

Covid-19
That'll be interesting for NHL, MLB and NBA teams coming to play in Canada as well... changes roster management quite a bit.

2021 (??) CFL Season
I feel like the fact that Jeffcoat's sister was able to come up and attend a game (implying that she's vaccinated), then he would be as well. Grant would make some sense based on him not playing last week or this week.

2021 (??) CFL Season
I'm curious to know if we've hit 100% yet, or if there's still those 1 or 2 hold outs, and if we'll find out who he/they are?

Covid-19
Because they are allowing you to book for influenza and pneumonia vaccines all at the same time. They aren't filtering it in the booking system.

Covid-19
I guess those of us who were trying to get ahead of it were doing so in vain: https://www.chrisd.ca/2021/11/19/manitoba-covid-19-vaccine-children-approval/ Specifically: Officials say some people have tried to pre-book appointments next week in anticipation of the vaccine being available. Those who have done so will be turned away at the clinic and their appointments are considered invalid. The province says there will be a separate booking option for children aged five to 11.
