  1. The Scullers haven't been 5-0 in my lifetime. On paper this ought to be a comprehensive win, but the Tabbies won't want to lay down at home. Particularly in a year where Hamilton is hosting the Grey Cup. Coach Stein has to keep them believing. I'm trying to think of how they'll come at our defence other than try and try again to run. Maybe they do what the Als did and use about 35+ screens? It'll be chippy, dirty and covered in penalty flags. 10.5 spread. I take the Argonauts and give up the points. EDIT: Fun Fact - The last time the Argonauts were 5-0 to start was the year that McMahon Stadium Opened!
  2. 7:30 at the Donut Box tonight (6:30pm Central... sorry) The Toronto Argonauts (4-0) @ The Hamilton Tiger Cats (2-3) Streaks: Argos 4W, TiCats 2W Last Meeting: Week 2, 32-14 Argo win at BMO Significant: Hamilton will be starting QB3 Taylor Powell (BLM and Matthew Shiltz are injured)... TiCats allowed nearly 500 net yards against the Elks last week... Chad Kelly achieved this season's highest PFF rating for any player in the win over the Al's last week (despite throwing one truly awful pick)... the last time the Argos were 3-0 was 1991 (GC Win), last time 4-0 was 1983 (GC Win) last time 5-0 1960 (10-4 lost Eastern Final) EDIT: TiCats Suck
  3. I expect a review on the Elk Burger (section 112 & 134)

    Hey-O! My initial $50 in week 1 hasn't quite gotten there yet. 😉 As the pile increases, the bets will also.

    Those 4 (Winnipeg, Toronto, BC & Calgary) pay 11.93 in a Proline parlay. Worth a tenner.

    Guilty as charged.

    In general, or about football in particular? His bit about culture and art was an interesting take.

    It's only ad hominem if you consider being called "weird" an attack.
  9. This was fun. Thanks, fellas.
  10. It's a crisis... but it's the CFL and rebuilds can be done in a year. Elks need to have a cold, heartless, top-down look at how to hit ctrl-alt-del on this mess. (And if they were in the East, they might've even got a partial rebuild from August castoffs and still had a shot at the final playoff spot... No hope of that with them looking nailed-on for 5th)

    The streak has to end sooner or later. Boy howdy I'd love it to be against the Tabbies.
  12. And isn't there a new rule in the NFL that adds an extra QB? That makes it easier to have a journeyman QB around and not always feel pressured to have an heir apparent receiving on-the-job-training. Might benefit MBT's chances?

    But I'd really like them to finally win this week...

    Anyone else got the feeling that this is the week for the L'ks?
  15. The Mouse doesn't have CBS on his ships.
  16. I am in the Caribbean somewhere between Cozumel and Grand Cayman. My ship has 2 ESPN channels, so I should have the game, right? Nope. A "classic" NBA game on one, Pro PickleBall on the other. Go you Boatmen go.
  17. I could be mistaken, but I don't think he was their issue tonight.
  18. Sloppy game. We'll take the win, but the good ship Argo needs to batten down the hatches.
  19. That always as sure a touchdown as you could have. Peters made up for his PI call on the prior play.
  20. There was a period of time in the first half that I thought that we we in for a game here. We should save some of these points for BC next week... We'll need them.

    Don't look at me. I had the Bombers to win and Cover.
  22. If it had to happen (and a few among you had pointed out that it may have been in the mail), at least it was in week 3, you're 2-1,and this may serve as a reality check and a focus for the players, coaches and management. Bombers may yet be the best team in the West. But that doesn't mean that the other teams should just accept that they'll top the Division and go to the GC again. And the Leos have served notice. The result of August 3's rematch in BC should be instructive. Circle it on your calendar.
  23. 6.5 point spread in the Bombers' favour... I'd take the Over

    Taking MBB's picks gets me 10.41 odds on Proline+ today, I really hope you all are right on this one. My gut says Hamilton and Calgary will win. Changing those two lowers the ticket to a meagre 5.31.

    Montreal @ Hamilton is a toughie. Alouettes seem better off an right now, but not by much and they may have had a productive bye week. I can't see Hamilton slipping to 0-3 in front of their home crowd (although I am lighting a candle for that to happen).
