Nichols, Goltz or Reilly on one leg? Not exactly your ideal trio. I can hardly contain my excitement.

Several comparisons can be made...between today's games and a shot of novacaine...

Semi Final Sunday
With all the injuries to key players, this year's GC is up for grabs. I guess B.C. / Glenn didn't see it that way.

Completely relevant to the topic. Putin was basically saying 'I'll do what I want.'

Bomber free agents
Wild has to be resigned, especially if they don't find anyone else who can longsnap. Bad snaps really hurt the team while he was injured.

To which Putin responded "we're not in Ukraine." Yes. Which is irrelevant since its a lie. Lies are a lot of things, but they're never irrelevant.

Als @ TiCats / Riders @ Eskis - The Final Showdown
If the Riders had lost tonight, they would be 9-9. They split the season series with B.C. and they won the point differential by 9 points. Am I missing something? Would they not have finished third even if they lost today? They lost to BC by 13 and won by four. They lost the point differential not won it. I really must stop crunching stats while drinking scotch...

It wasn't a forward pass.

Had we beaten BC last time ...
If the Bombers had beaten BC there wouldn't be a crossover. Winnipeg and BC would both be 8 - 10 and out of the playoffs. There are 3 teams in the East with at least 8 wins right now.

Donovan Alexander Retires
He's taking his teaching degree at the U of M so he's nicely set for life after football. There is actually an oversupply of teaching candidates these days - many end up working in another field.

Tomorrow night should be interesting...the Pens have a lot of guys who can finish.

Jian Ghomeshi and the CBC
On the contrary, I think the skies the limit for Ghomeshi. He's a fantastic interviewer and I predict he will leave Canada and find a home stateside on satellite radio ala Howard Stern, another leper. When you work for the CBC and Chuck Adler will actually commend you - you're bloody good at what you do. History says your prediction is probably correct - which is unfortunate.

Mike O'Shea Now Has More Wins In His 1st Season Than Ritchie Did In His
IMO, the '06 team was one of our most underrated teams.

Starting 3 Canadian receivers next season?
Whatever it takes to get JFG on the field.

Daylight Savings Time Ends
That's just stupid - oops - I can't tell you that because I'm mod.

Drew Willy to start season finale
Agreed. It's like the Argos going 11 - 1 with Bishop. Or better yet, the Riders trading Joseph after winning the Grey Cup.

Sack Article
I find (after watching for an entire season) that Etch's scheme puts players in more one on one tackling situations. When linebackers and even DB's are retreating from the LOS after the ball is snapped, the player who ends up being in a tackling situation is less likely to have help. Simply because his team mates have not had enough time time to read and react to the play. A more traditional alignment affords LB's and DB's more time to read the play and react to it. As the season wore on, we started noticing more missed tackles. IMO, that was because teams became more aware of how to exploit the scheme...not because the linebackers forgot how to tackle.
