Picks for the Grey Cup need to be in by Sunday @ 5PM. Congrats to @MOBomberFan who has now officially clinched the win for this years Pick 'Ems and the recipient of a $50 Bomber Store gift certificate. Let's go bring the cup home next week!

From the article:

The only double standard is I don't usually call people out publicly. Many people you reference have probably at one time or another have had a post edited / deleted or given a warning. A distilled definition of trolling is basically posting **** for the sole purpose of getting a reaction out of other people, and when they get that reaction, they complain about ad hominem attacks. When you do get to the point of being a more blatant troll, then you will get the same warnings mentioned above. Until then, keep doing what you are doing, or don't. Up to you. Cheers.

Funny. You started the whole confrontational tone with Sonny boy comments. Friendly public warning. Every day you post the blurry line of trolling that you present here is becoming less and less blurry.

This is a forum. For discussion. That’s twice now you ask people why they are “interjecting”. When you post, you should expect people to reply and discuss.

I have all the Pick 'Ems spreadsheets going back to 2016 (the pick 'ems before that were run on a forum extension that stopped working, so I don't have easy access to that data). So, compiled a few stats from those years: Top 3 Finalists By Year 2016 Correct Picks Correct Percentage Cam 56 65.12% WinnipegGordo 55 63.95% TBURGESS 53 61.63% 2017 Correct Picks Correct Percentage bearpants 59 68.60% the watcher 58 67.44% TBURGESS 57 66.28% 2018 Correct Picks Correct Percentage Dicky 57 66.28% TBURGESS 55 63.95% Jacquie 53 61.63% Marshall 53 61.63% Rich 53 61.63% Tony Fresco 53 61.63% wayner 53 61.63% 2019 Correct Picks Correct Percentage bigg jay 69 80.23% wayner 67 77.91% rebusrankin 64 74.42% 2021 Correct Picks Correct Percentage Fox Creek AB Rider Fan 46 66.67% Rich 45 65.22% coach17 44 63.77% 2022 Correct Picks Correct Percentage Stickem 64 74.42% the watcher 62 72.09% Booch 61 70.93% bigg jay 61 70.93% 2023 Correct Picks Correct Percentage MOBomberFan 68 81.93% TBURGESS 65 78.31% Booch 63 75.90% This also means that depending on how @MOBomberFan picks in the remaining three games this year, he could set the record for the most picks and best correct percentage of all recorded years. He currently sits at 68 picks for 81.93%. Next best is @bigg jay in 2019 with 69 correct for 80.23%. I included winning percentage as it gives an indication of consistency in correct picks and it was also a shortened season in 2021 with 69 games instead of 86.

Thanks to everyone for playing over the years!

With @MOBomberFan 3 picks ahead of @TBURGESS and 3 games left in the season, @TBURGESS would need to pick all 3 remaining games correct and hope @MOBomberFan gets all wrong to tie. Picks this week need to be in by Saturday @ 2PM Standings below:

Would be better if he also goes to the Grey Cup

This site has historical stats. Probably not in the easiest format for you to pull from though. https://stats.cfldb.ca

That makes no sense. If Brady O is MOP how could he not also be the top Canadian

This panel is brutal.

We have a parking pass for the Bombers. But either way, I doubt we'd make it in time as traffic gets so congested at IG Field the closer you get to game start.

We have that Jets game as part of our mini pack. Even with them moving the time back, still tight to make the Bomber game. Either we skip the Jets game or leave the Jets game early (and have to bring winter clothes to the game). Still deciding.

They moved to Saturday so they don't compete with the NFL

Has the loss of Rigmaiden back to BC finally caught up to our neg list?

The first 3 years the Jets were back there was a palpable organic party vibe in the arena. People were just happy to have the team back. There were the random chants that would source up from the crowd, there was electricity in the air when you were there, it was a fun place to be even without the team winning. That has slowly declined since then. The Jets now need to work to bring that back as it isn't just "happening" on its own anymore.

We moved from a group to a mini pack last year (rest of the group didn't want to renew). They are way more convenient. Seems to me groups are dying out with demand not there and mini packs weren't originally available when they came back with demand being what it was. We took the weekend pack, which is more expensive games. We are close to center ice, upper deck, and pay $1000 per seat (after tax) for 11 games .

Isn’t this true for any play by play broadcaster? 😀

I've been using a SPOT Gen3 just for piece of mind that people can find us or reach out for help in the most extreme of cases when we are on multi day hiking / canoeing trips in the backwoods. But I only need it a few month out of the year, so I only pay monthly, but they charge reconnection fees every time. Will be really interesting to see what the price point for this is and how much traffic they can handle. Will this potentially be a replacement for cell phones outside of large metropolitan areas where the infra costs for telecom providers are high compared to subscribers.
