REDBLACKS? more like the SNAKEBITS.

hell of a hit by the TiCat safety. Turned out he saved the TD. Clutch.

battle of the QB3s. TiCats scheming well against a raw CFL QB who maybe hasn't developed his D-reading skills yet ... hide the 12th man way downfield. holy cow the cfl.ca play-by-play page is terrible. doesn't even show down and distance.

For a lot of his career Calvillo had a wicked good OL to go with his fast delivery. The dude was low mileage for someone his age ... compare the amount of punishment he took to what someone like Ricky Ray took. Man Ricky Ray took a licking and kept on ticking. You look at QBs like Khari or Matt Nichols or even Drew Willy who faded so quick after getting beat up and then you look at Ray who was never anything less than effective even behind shitty OLs ... RR15 underrated for toughness...

have no love for Mitch McConnell's politics -- his cynical manipulation of the Supreme Court and his cowardice at impeaching Trump over 1/6 means that Trump is going to ratfuck every federal election while he still lives. but, empathy for a human who seems to be suffering cognitive decline.

the Mayor McCheese happy meal comes with a bonus Begel Burger tonight. dude is beasting and feasting. (bagel burgers are delicious, for real)

Maier is taking care of the ball so far tonight, tho -- not throwing a lot of picks like he usually does.

we got a cfl barnburner emerging here!

Real basic question here: in previous seasons there'd be two guys listed on the depth chart who would get a game cheque but who would be left off the game roster. Does that still happen in 2023?

Classic CFL finish looming. Riders secondary gettin leaky.

ooof, Evans. he was locked onto that corner route that got picked. lucky he got bailed out by the command centre. Als would be better off with Dominique Davis, I think.

Crum didn't look right after that endzone hit.

Speaking of firsts, I don't think I've ever seen roughing the passer called on a sneak. Piggy is high-reward, high risk. Missing routine sneaks and fumbling.

This Ottawa team is playing like Swaggerville. Turnover after turnover.

not well enough, apparently, since I mixed him up with Pacman Jones. you know the Rouge et Noir are an Ottawa team because they sure are capitalizing. Crum getting the ball out fast, slowing down that Alouette rush.

The old Ottawa emergency QB vs. the new Ottawa emergency QB. whenever anyone says Lemonator I think of the fake pee that Pacman Jones used to beat drug screenings.

is that a catch? didn't drop the ball until he was down by contact...

aaand we're back.

plus it's a road game for the Elks -- they don't have that home field disadvantage to overcome.

I just watched the Duck Duck Goose game on Youtube.

Hey people who know about football: what is mirroring?

what, no love for Chris Jones? I know Dickenson ain't shooting the lights out right now but at least he wins a home game now and then...

thanks GCn20! I did not know that.

I got a question. Here's a freeze-frame from the Demski TD. How is our inside guy on the short side not offside? The ball hasn't moved yet. When I saw it live I was sure the TD was coming back. the Elk left-side DE was flagged on the play for offside, and yeah that guy moved early, but it looks like we got away with one ... unless I don't understand how offsides is called against waggling receivers.

I was in BC for the big playoff collapse in 2016, the Medlock 61 yard fg attempt one where we blew a 25-6 halftime lead. as the kick landed 5 yards short, some drunk BC fans actually apologized to me with genuine sadness because I guess I looked that devastated. I have seen the bombers lose sooooo many close games in BC....
