happy turkey day everyone. got the redblacks and the als on. redblacks are driving, kinda interested to see how they look post-Lapo.

The Kerch Bridge is on fire and is partially collapsed. Holy cow.

Ukraine running multiple simultaneous breakthrough offensives ... that is some Canadian Mafia level dominance.

is the referee the only official who's looking into the backfield for holds? I'm asking because at one point Jefferson had beaten his guy and was bearing down on Fajardo but didn't get there because the beaten OL had put a double hand grab on the back of his jersey. it looked blatant enough that I didn't need a closeup to see it. but then I noticed that WJ was directly between the referee and the hapless roughrider tackle. I guess that's one way you get away with holding: keep your hands out of sight of the referee.

damn my stream is way behind you guys. see you at halftime.

BOLO now that is a quality handle

throwing into a big crowd there sprinkles.

every other game I've watched this year has had yellow flags.

ice cold Larry Bird alley-oop pass puts roadhouse over 1K. you love to see it.

yeah, seems like he's getting bonus yards after contact on most plays -- tho Leonard just caught him by the ankles.

yeah, Forde has been explaining the game really well this year.

great breakdown of Sheed's catch by Duane Forde there. that adjustment that he made to the ball ... I don't think I could do that at a walk, let alone in full stride...and good lord the eyes on Collaros to be able to see where Moncrief was vulnerable and making his throw accordingly, in just a second or two. these athletes are astonishing.

man I love that W react in a game thread. it's like high-fiving folks in the stands.

SHOWTIME!

whoah Biggie bringing the big stick!

some Good Lapo there, complex misdirection fakes out the entire D, Adams gets 20 yards...

terrible ball. even if it had been placed so Adams could make a play on it, the safety was going to kill him. big boiullette gashing the blacks.

hate hate hate seeing a receiver running horizontally after they make a catch three yards behind the first-down stick. Behar got away with it, but still... some sweet sack dancing from the rouge et noir but shocked that TSN reran it like six times given how crotchy it was. Rod and Matty .. best CFL broadcast team.

Don't blame the FBI for this. They're just following the instructions from the DemocratMasterPlan2022.pdf file they found on Hunter Biden's laptop.

interesting. I don't think I've seen him referred to as "Former President Trump" on right-wing nutjob TV. It's always "President Trump." Reality is like water, in the long run it gets inside... I'm not 100% on all of the details of why this is civil instead of criminal .. but one thing I did note about the NY lawsuit is that the AG is asking for Trump and his fleshy brood to be excluded from corporate governance or ownership in New York state forever, which is a pretty significant penalty. They're also asking for a quarter billion dollars but I think that's probably just icing.

there are so many very good choices for the ring of honor, but this is an excellent one. congrats Joe Pop!

don't see Corny as a dime store Prukop, see him more as a high-upside Goltz with fewer imaginary cufflinks. also, judge learns to need to be patient with his postgame revenge. If you're going to attack someone after the game, attack them AFTER THE GAME. I still kinda wonder if this attack was kayfabe or not. these two OGs put a lot of heat on the 2011 Grey Cup.

That fumble sack was a weird one for ZC ... Cats rushed an extra man who was completely unblocked but ZC didn't realize he had an extra blitzer to deal with until it was too late. The way I understand it, if a man comes unblocked on a passing play, it's the QB's job to locate that guy and deal with him with a move or a quick throw ... ordinarily ZC is real good at that part of the game so that sack was surprising. I remember Doug Flutie telling his teammates "just tell me who my man is" on six-pack plays.

Around 3:03 of the game highlights posted on cfl.ca. You can see Marshal giving a "throw it over here" wave at Corny for a few seconds before the snap and then Mitchell just owns him on the go route.

just picture it: Roughies score a TD Lauther misses the convert and this turkey has to work overtime.
