Posted November 22, 20213 yr comment_539512 It's Semi-Final Week. Eastern Semi-Final - Montreal @ Hamilton - Sunday, November 28th, Noon (Central). Long range weather: High of 1, feels like -3. Wind 16, gusting to 24. Western Semi-Final - Calgary @ Saskatchewan - Sunday, November 28th, 3:30pm (Central) Long ranger weather: High of 1, feels like -3. Wind 16, gusting to 24. (Oddly, the same as Hamilton, even the wind) Should be an exciting weekend.
November 22, 20213 yr comment_539514 I can't see the stumps beating the riders. I expect mtl ham to be close and unspectacular.

I think it's a coin toss between the Riders and Stamps. One turnover, could change everything. Not sure what to expect with the other game. Hamilton should win it.
November 22, 20213 yr comment_539519 Can we root for the earth to open up and swallow both the Riders and Stamps?
November 22, 20213 yr comment_539521 I'm almost rooting for the Stamps so we can see which starters they leave home.

November 22, 20213 yr comment_539525 **** them and **** Dickenson. Honestly not sure which team I dislike more right now. I don't care who gets here from the "Someone Technically Has to Win Bowl". It will be satisfying to smack either around and send them home. Edited November 22, 20213 yr by Geebrr
November 22, 20213 yr comment_539526 I don't care who we face in the final....We took care of both of them last year to win it all in the end..I just hope they hammer the hell out of each other and we'll just mop up on the survivor...OOOO that sounds so mercenary but what the hey

I disagree. You field the best team you possibly can every week, especially in the playoffs. There is no tomorrow if you don't win today. The Stamps are not a strong enough team to look past the Riders and they are screwed no matter what against the Bombers. Their best hope is to field the best team they possibly can to beat the Riders, and hope for the football gods, the weather, a Bomber team not ready etc. and steal a win in the West Final.

That is kind of what he said. 7 minutes ago, rebusrankin said: What if Fajardo isn't vaxxed? That would be funny. They already took Lynch off the roster for not being. I am quite certain Faj has been vocal about being/getting vaxxed.

But what if the unvaxxed guys bring COVID into the locker room?

I'm pretty sure he made a statement that he got vaxxed because it was his responsibility as a leader and ultimately had no choice. Did not make it sound like he would have been vaccinated otherwise, but he did do it.

November 22, 20213 yr comment_539544 Fajardo is vaxxed....he complained about it. He's a hardcore bible thumper who wanted no part of it, but said in an interview that he only did it because the league made it (essentially) mandatory.

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.

It is a liability issue in case of an accident. Is not allowed.
