Re: CFLPA strike

John Hodge called it a done deal hours ago, but Farhan says they are still counting votes. It is a YES, will they still have to scrub week 1 of the preseason?

Re: CFLPA strike

Hard to tell if any progress is being made. At least it's not a lockout yet.

Re: 2021-22 NFL Season thread

I enjoyed watching this SB--I would have been happy with either team winning. I didn't check, but I guess CIN beat the spread and narrowly missed pulling off a big upset win. Conspiracy theorists are sure to believe that the flurry of penalties on the game winning drive was the work of forces who wa...

Re: 2021-22 NFL Season thread

It's starting to look like Mahomes is a one trick pony. In his first few seasons (all the way up to the SB win) he effectively used his unpredictability. There were a few regular season games this season where KC was stomped on (along with the SB loss and today's game) where a disciplined D was abl...

Re: 2021-22 NFL Season thread

Bengals v Rams (with LA on paper the "visiting team"). It could be as unpredictable as all of the playoffs have been this season. Rams are the early favorite. It's starting to look like Mahomes is a one trick pony. In his first few seasons (all the way up to the SB win) he effectively used...

Wow, that is unexpected (both that he did and the timing of it). https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/nfl/tom-brady-retirement-nfl-buccaneers-report-1.6332580 Maybe the Mahomes era now really begins. KC has to be the SB favorite of the final 4. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/nfl/tom-brady-retirem...

Re: Lions 2022 free agents

Very encouraging interview with Burnham. Says Rourke's dedication to training and learning last season was a factor in his re-signing. Admitted he didn't expect to return if (Mike not Michael :wink: ) Reilly's retirement had not freed up cap space, and likely would have gone to HAM. Excited to be pa...

Re: Division Finals/108th Grey Cup

I can't quite go along with the analogy. A referee is making real time choices happening at speed. That can be a hard thing to get right at that moment. It is precisely for that reason that replay was introduced. Choosing to ignore a policy currently in effect because you don't agree with it is ver...

Re: 2021-22 NHL Season

Reports tonight that Canucks HC Travis Green, GM Jim Benning and several other Canucks managerial staff have been fired. Press conference expected tomorrow morning to announce replacements. Bruce Boudreau will be the new HC, with speculation as to the others. After his pathetic press conference last...

Re: Will Reilly Retire?

Reilly had a family commitment and was unavailable for yesterday’s season end interviews. Little surprising given it would be playoff preparation week had the season gone differently. He is a great interview and so candid that perhaps it was too soon to talk about 2022. And as Hambone mentioned who...

Re: Elks at BC Nov 19

I am really surprised that Michael Reilly isn't even dressing for this one. If it's due to injury that can, say, do harm to his elbow is one thing. To just not dress him and give that roster spot to the #3 is quite telling. DH :cool: I think Reilly has been playing with bruised ribs for awhile (fir...

Re: How to fix this mess?

Someone should do a detailed analysis of every move (both player and coaching personnel) made by Hervey. I doubt you will find much worth keeping. After leaving a costly trail of wasted opportunity, he was allowed to quietly slink away (not fired but leaving for "personal reasons").

Re: Lions at Tiger-Cats Nov. 5

I watched the game the next day on the pvr and didn't concentrate on Campbell's body language in the 2nd half. In the 1st half he was doing a lot of his "statue staring off into space" pose that was the posture for the WPG game. I wonder if he was even aware of the radio snafu Reilly was e...

Re: Lions at Tiger-Cats Nov. 5

* New kicker (has there ever been a player in recent memory that has enjoyed such early success only to fall completely off the rails like Camacho?). DH :cool: Boris Bede. Very good in his first season in 2015, a complete disaster in 2016 with MTL. Doing alright now with TOR. https://en.wikipedia.o...
