2021 Grey Cup GDT - Bombers vs. Tiger-Cats
TSN botched the ending for sure. Watching the interception live last night I didn't even celebrate, I thought Rose may have had it touch the turf. Everybody on the field was going nuts and I was waiting for the replay... Don't know how they weren't ready for some big play (from either team) that deep into overtime.

2021 Grey Cup GDT - Bombers vs. Tiger-Cats
Complete "C"FL on display. Rouges were game-changing. Overtime thrilling. A team down 12 still had a chance to win in the fourth quarter. Sell new fans on the excitement.

2021 Grey Cup GDT - Bombers vs. Tiger-Cats
I get that we are all Bomber fans and so not completely neutral observers, but there will be no convincing me that pretty much all the TSN media folks were cheering really hard for Hamilton.

Think Osh for sure is in the conversation now. For fans like me, Osh is the greatest Bomber coach ever and it isn't even close. That's what happens when you go through such a long Cup drought.

HOOOOOOOOOOOLY GEEEEEEZE I CAN'T BELIEVE IT

Not sure a FG does anything. Should have gone for it. If you fail they're still pinned deep against the wind. Bad night all around.

Hurts worse than 2001. Buck took the week off planning apparently. Forgot about the rest of our players.

Zach determined to lose this one. Man we need a miracle play.

Collaros likely cost them the game with that point swing. Just doesn't feel like our night.

2021 Grey Cup GDT - Bombers vs. Tiger-Cats
They've got to adjust for Masoli. I don't think Evans had anything against this defense, but Masoli gives them a better chance.

2021 Grey Cup GDT - Bombers vs. Tiger-Cats
What a brutal half. Buck wasting most of our possessions trying to run Harris on first down. They look flipping awful on offense and there are no excuses for that. But man, hard not to see this going Hamilton's way now. The fans and TSN sure seem to be rooting for the Cats.

CFL Awards (Still Schenelys To Me)
I'm still baffled TSN has five channels (and "bonus" feeds available in their app), and can't put this on one of them. Kudos to all the award winners tonight. Particularly happy for Osh given the work needed to get this team to their current level.

Early chat- Ticats vs Champs Grey Cup Thread
Problem is I think I say this after every game. I have absolutely, positively no faith in the CC.

Early chat- Ticats vs Champs Grey Cup Thread
Playing Hamilton in Hamilton will certainly be a challenge, because neutral observers will default to "it's their turn this time." I expect a few big, soft calls to favour the Cats.

GDT - Western Final - Riders @ The Champs
Brutal half when we should have beat them early. Hope they wake up soon because they're lucky to be in the game with this many turnovers.

GDT - Western Final - Riders @ The Champs
Bombers sure seem determined to blow it. Need the defense to save us.

Tabbies @ Boatmen, Eastern Final
These rules make no sense and reflect poorly on the league. Every other league has crafted a policy for this seemingly successfully. Now the TiCats benefit twice from this stupidity. Not only will Toronto start their backup, but their unvaccinated starter can play simply because the game is in Ontario.

Week 15 - Non-Champ Edition
CFL product is always going to get dumped on when you see blatant bad calls like that. Refs gave this one to Sask, after Fajardo basically tried to give it away first. League should be embarrassed.

Dodo Birds at CHAMPS GDT
I know gambling is a big deal and all, but I really think TSN does a disservice to the CFL product by making it so much of their gameday coverage. I don't gamble, but I'm not even sure these segments are really all that fun or useful to gamblers. Perhaps I'm wrong.

You be the commish! - CFL changes
Absolutely move the start of the season up. More games in warmer weather. Less triple headers, play more games on Thurs-Fri-Sat instead. You'll get way more people watching (even briefly) with games split up. Most people aren't spending 9 hours on a Saturday watching a triple header. Starting game times need to make sense for both the host city and national viewing. Sorry BC, we need to find a way to start games earlier if you want anyone outside BC to see it (maybe they need more Saturday games for earlier starts). Simplify the Canadian, American and Global rules. Don't see the point of an experienced American being able to fill in for a Canadian. Minimize one year contract usage. Allow for NFL opt outs. Buying jerseys with player names has become an exceedingly difficult task, and limits casual fans from forming bonds with players.

CHAMPS at Elks GDT
Really ugly win. Cornelius was getting a lot of love for someone who did basically nothing except hit his high percentage throws. Find a kicker.

GDT - Week 10 - Elks @ The Champs
There is no way Legghio can be worse than this. No way Mourtada should be allowed on the field again.

GDT - Week 10 - Elks @ The Champs
I still can't believe we went through a bye week content with this guy at kicker.

GDT - Week 10 - Elks @ The Champs
Darvin just seems like he is floating by out there tonight. Need him to fight for some of these catches.

GDT - Week 10 - Elks @ The Champs
Great block but I think we can scrap the punter's butt point of view angle.
