Except Pierce was NOT healthy. The doctors said he wasn't able to go. What Pierce said was irrelevant because he could be on the turf looking like the Black Knight from Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail and still say he was healthy enough to play.

According to the Montreal media, Popp hired most, if not all, of Hawkins assistants.

What does that have to do with it. The suggestion was that Buck wasn't really hurt because he was dressed for the game. Tate and Glenn were both said to be injured yet they both dressed as well.

Not being as right wing as the Sun does not mean the FP has a liberal slant. Their editorial staff is more to the right politically and they have been endorsing the Tories (federally and provincially) at election time for years.

Like if Mitchell and Tate had gone down last game and Glenn would have had to come in?

Wrong. Wally said he had wanted Cauchy to stay and that the Lions offered him a very good contract that he turned down. And there were other teams interested in signing Cauchy.

Maybe if you promise to give up scarves they'll accept your Argos starting TB statement as your pick.

But they had a home stand that lasted a week and a half which is the reason the Argos had to play on a Tuesday night. And curling is great.

At least you won't get 2 strikes since neither Sheets or Harris scored in week 5.

You already picked Sheets for this week. The Lions/Argos game is still week 5. I should have specified week 5 in my post to Bluto.

Don't see your pick this week, Bluto.

Totally agree. And I wouldn't be surprised if they put in their request about 2 hours (or less) before their deadline on Sunday.

People seem to be forgetting the UoM's interest in IGF. And that IGF has to remain publicly owned. What debt do the Bombers have with the City? From 2014 - 2018 they can service the debt using money from the TSN contract.

Knew I should have taken Etienne.

Nice TD to Etienne. Almost thought he was going to do a victory lap of the endzone. lol

Teams are not automatically entitled to a review of a play like that because the ruling on the field was he was stopped before the goal line. And you are assuming the command centre didn't review it. The replay was pretty clear so they could have checked it and decided they didn't need to stop the game to do a longer review.

There is no back of the line. From the CFL by-laws: If we had bid our second round pick for Laurent we would have gotten him.

That wasn't 5 yards in the end zone. From the TV angle it was difficult to tell where the ball went out. I don't know how the command centre could overrule the call on the field.

That's not how it works. It's more like a silent auction. Team that puts in the best bid gets the player. If more than one team bids the same round pick then the team with the higher waiver position gets the player.

Oops. Messam isn't playing.

No mention of a wife. Why am I not surprised.

It's also pretty standard across the league.

And saying "yes" just adds more pressure.

I seem to recall Edmonton ran a pitch play during the monsoon in Hamilton which, of course, the RB dropped but was able to recover the ball and they took a big loss.
