And Derek Taylor had rated Hamilton 1st in the way too early 2020 power rankings. (And the Bombers 8th)

Did You Know...

Derek Taylor had an accident and suffered a brain injury and coupled with drinking that funky water in Regina- He has become a prolific seducer of sheep and other mid-sized quadrapeds.

    Justin Medlock has made 58 consecutive field goals from inside the 40 yard line. Based on my research, it appears as though Paul McCallum holds the CFL record with 59 consecutive field goals in

DT needs to get out of that piss hole if he wants to continue his career in an upward positive direction..staying there he will become a useless green butt kisser with no credibility and basically just a rider propaganda puppet...sad kinda

Being a severely biased homer is written into their contracts. No joke. Two people in the past 3 years have been fired by the Riders for making critical comments about the club. Carm and even the ultra-homer Rod Pederson both fell on their swords for mildly criticizing the club. Just unbelievable really that they don't allow the voice of their franchises to have a shred of integrity or dignity in their job execution.

Taylor is basically told Riders best, Bombers worst...no matter what the reality is. Rod Pederson had a pretty frank discussion about this after being fired by the Riders. For the first several years he had to have weekly meetings with the Rider organization where he would be told what his talking points were and what he would say. Sounds like Russia almost.

    I personally think there were more, but what do I know. I’m only a fan of the GREY CUP CHAMPIONS.

    Did You Know...

    QB Bo Levi Mitchell has undergone a procedure to remove a cyst from his shoulder. - Calgary
     

    Now if he could remove that Bo cyst from out butts, that would be something. - Every other team..

    Wouldn't that be something if the shoulder troubles persist for Mitchell & Arbuckle develops into a good qb?

    Did you know......

    Tennessee Titans are halfway to becoming only the 3rd #6 seed to win the Super Bowl, and only the 2nd to beat the #1,2,3 seeds in their own conference and #1 seed in the other conference. The other team? Pittsburgh Steelers (2005).

    Pittsburgh in 2005 beat Cincinnati (#3), Indianapolis (#1), Denver (#2) and Seattle (#1), beating teams with 51 combined wins.

    Tennessee beat New England (#3) and Baltimore (#1) and face Kansas City (#2) and either San Francisco (#1) or Green Bay (#2) if they get past KC. If they run the table they will have beaten teams with 51 combined wins regardless of whether they play SF or GB. Tennessee (9-7) is the only team who could beat higher seeded rivals who all had better records than them (their opponents were/are all 12-4 or better - Pittsburgh and Cincinnati each were 11-5 in 2005).

    Only other team to beat teams with 51 combined wins are the New York Giants in 2007 as the #5 seed, beating Tampa Bay (#4), Dallas (#1), Green Bay (#2) and the undefeated New England Patriots (#1). The Giants at 10-6 had a better record than 9-7 Tampa despite being a lower seed (Tampa won their division).

    The only other #6 seed to win is Green Bay in 2010, beating Philly(#3), Atlanta (#1), Chicago (#2), and Pittsburgh (#2), teams with 46 total wins. Philly and Green Bay both were 10-6.

    What does this have to do with the CFL? Well, the Bombers this past year became only the 6th #3 seed to win the Grey Cup since the current playoff format was adopted in 1974, and became only the 3rd team to beat the #1, 2, and 3 seeds in the league on the way to the title. Sask. in 1989 and BC in 2000 were the other 2. BC's opponents won 34 games combined, and Saskatchewan's won 38. The other 2 CFL teams who beat opponents with a combined 40 wins (the league record) were Edmonton in 1993 and BC in 1994, and both of them had the benefit of a home game (BC's home game is an asterisk because it was the "neutral site" Grey Cup which was in BC that year).

    All this to say it is arguable that the Bombers Grey Cup run this year may have been the toughest and most impressive ever in the current format. Will the Titans match this improbable feat?
