Eternal optimist

Yes, but almost all of them were called back due to special teams penalties... his 2017 punt return and kick return statistics are below. To give it some context, I've put the league-wide average for kick/punt return for the 2018 year, up to week 19 in bold after his numbers. Punt return stats: Punt returns: 67 (709 league-wide) Yards off punt returns: 775 (average of 11.6 per return), 7,207, average of 10.2 per return Longest punt return: 88 yards (102 yards) Punt return TDs: 1 (1.49% chance of a TD) (11 on 709 attempts or 1.55% chance of a TD) Kick return stats: Kick returns: 3 (573 league-wide) Yards off kick returns: 56 (average of 18.7 per return), (12,365, average of 21.6 per return) Longest kick return: 20 yards (104 yards) Kick return TDs 0 (0.00% of a TD) (3 on 573 attempts, or 0.5% chance) I think the biggest problem for Fogg is his height - even on that Chris Matthews bomb, he was still somewhat in a position to make a play, but the fact Matthews is about a foot taller on him he might as well have been in the stands watching the play.

Your words good sir! Eat them!

I hope they have to scrape Bo off the turf tonight.

Man, I don't know the guy personally, but based on his attitude Leggett wouldn't have it any other way.

You are correct sir, the final game for CAL/SSK is the tiebreaker for that season series which is tied 1-1.

Absolutely, it is no different than how without fail there are always idiots that cheer when a player from the visiting team gets hurt at IGF. Even if it is a Riders player - that is still a human being who suffered an injury in a violent sport... no place for that kind of behavior.

The league record for most non-offensive touchdowns during the regular season is 15 by the 1987 BC Lions... the Riders currently have 13 non-offensive touchdowns (9 defensive, 1 punt return and 3 kick returns) this year. Those same 1987 BC Lions also set the record for most defensive touchdowns in the regular season (11). So for a team that's close to the league record for TDs by their defense, I think the allegation that they have been lucky is very much warranted.

I think they should open it. Politically it is a tough pill for the public to swallow, but all the evidence and studies indicate it is a good idea for the growth of the city. That said, I think what will realistically happen, is Bowman will get reelected, largely due to the ineptitude of his competition. The referendum will fail, and the intersection will stay closed for the foreseeable future. I think you're missing the point here - most cities don't have walking/cycling as a major form of transportation for the simple fact that human beings are, in general, lazy.

Not only that, they seldom mention the method used to survey people. Lots of these surveys use phone calls (i.e. landlines) to survey individuals. This inherently means you're surveying an older population, which has been shown to be more conservative-leaning. So the results really aren't that surprising.

Can we just have a gentleman's agreement with Calgary next week, and force the game to a tie? It would lock up a playoff spot for us, and lock up 1st in the West for them.

How does someone not get thrown out for that hit.

Calgary still playing for 1st in the West, hopefully they can get it done and we play their scrubs next week.

I think it's appropriate, up until this week, all four teams in the West could've ended up being 10-8, whilst in the East the top team could easily end up being 9-9. The whole purpose of the playoff format is to have the six best teams qualify. Under the situation described above, that would not be the case as one of BC, EDM, SSK and WPG would miss the playoffs at 10-8. As for winning the Grey Cup - it's just like any other football game, once you get there... any given Sunday.

Look at it this way, at least the crossover rule exists? We'd be in bigger trouble if it didn't.

Yep - only difference between a playoff game is that Bombers would get in if the EDM/WPG game ended in a tie (we would be 9-8-1, and EDM would finish 8-9-1). As others have pointed out - win/tie against Calgary or a win/tie against EDM clinches a playoff spot for us... basically we need 1 point in the next two games. What I personally find disgusting is that the Western crossover team right now (BC: 9-7) has the same record as Ottawa (9-7) which is first in the east.

Well, I guess the logic would be that when time is at a premium, Mike Rielly's arm has longer range than their kicker foot. That said, I agree that's still just a stupid decision...

That's a big rouge.

And hand grenades!

Man, to think we were in the running to get Rainey from BC...

Boy did the momentum of this game turn like a tidal wave.

It's mainly because our season series with EDM is still undecided.

Nope in mathematical terms of strictly making the playoffs, we actually want Edmonton to win. Edmonton win | BC Win EDM: 9-8 (17 GP) | BC 9-7 BC: 8-8 (16 GP) | EDM: 8-9 With an Edmonton win, BC would need to win out (10-8) and we would need to lose out (9-9) for them to catch us because we hold the tiebreaker over BC. If BC wins, they would need to win one more game than Winnipeg to finish better than us. The extra loss to Edmonton doesn't hurt them as much since the EDM/WPG season series is still up in the air. Also a tie is no good for us either, since the extra point would actually be relevant if we ended up with the same wins as either team. TLDR; Winnipeg needs one more win to get in, if you're going to root for anyone tomorrow, root for Edmonton.

Lots of people don't realize it, but by legalizing cannabis they actually introduced about another 40 laws regarding usage... and yes, the government has imposed stricter fines for non-compliance with applicable taxes/permits - as they should.

It looks like age is just catching up with him, he's 34 now, already has some Grey Cup rings... what else does he have to play for? As for the actual offense, I completely agree... doesn't matter the method of impairment, getting behind the wheel of a vehicle impaired is just plain stupid.
