hell, why does anyone store paper documents these days? scan 'em, put 'em on an encrypted flash drive, burn the originals, scatter the ashes.

bending but not breaking

are the RTP rules different if the QB is rolling outside the tackles?

collapsed the pocket real nice there.

yeah, def not time to panic yet. it is kinda sad to see the GOAT shilling for a betting outfit.

just tuning in. those hockey jerseys aren't too bad but good god the combo with the blue pants is ugly. football pants should be a different color than a football jersey.

hmmm, Lee's Summit. Checks out.

Nik Lewis and Wes Cates tossing MBB some red meat here. https://3downnation.com/2022/08/08/his-skill-set-is-very-limited-former-cfl-all-stars-wes-cates-nik-lewis-agree-riders-qb-cody-fajardo-is-not-elite/

did anyone catch the real crucial block that Woli threw on the Bailey TD? Montreal blitzed their halfback and he was headed at Collaros untouched at full sprint -- Woli, who is on the other side of the formation, books it across the line to get there just in time to steer the HB away. If ZC is one-on-one with the blitzing halfback that's probably not a touchdown. meanwhile ZC is completely undistracted by all this. He does a little matador step away, emerges untouched from the potential pileup, and spies Bailey for 7. Just a real great team play. I can't believe how good at football the Bombers are.

well, not to be too negative about it, but Harris hasn't been great this year with the exception of the Rider game, where he picked up more than a third of his season rushing yardage. (heh. loved seeing 33 trucking against Regina like in days of yore.) so if you're looking at BO and Harris and you see they're producing comparably, all that means is that neither team has gotten consistent RB1 production this year. hopefully Brady's recent upward trend continues.

Is that the same Rebel Media as the Canadian one?

whoah

Too late. Four more state-level abortion votes are already scheduled in November, and Michigan will be five once their Secretary of State verifies and approves the petition. https://ballotpedia.org/2022_abortion-related_ballot_measures The states are: California (pro-choice initiative, not a constitutional amendment) Vermont (constitutional amendment affirming right to "personal reproductive autonomy") Kentucky ("no right to abortion in our constitution" amendment, very similar to Kansas) Montana (a "born-alive" law that I don't understand the impact of) and Michigan (consitutional amendment affirming right to "reproductive freedom")

Michael Bishop is at least two tiers higher on the all-time cfl qb ladder. You think the 2009 Bombers would've won any games with Davis starting?

wonder if Carter is going to get cut at halftime..

the thing that caught my ear about Lapo was when TSN quoted him as saying he's not being able to get deep in his playbook during games because his O can't stay on the field. man, why do you burn practice time on a deep playbook if you can't even get out of the shallow end? all that said I hope that Lapo turns up back on TSN. I learned stuff about football from his segments, I think he's a great explainer, real crisp and concise.

crap, you hate to see it. hope he's okay.

Tuning into Cats @ Argos. Steamy day down in the big smoke. Duane Forde scores a surprise zinger with "this is the turducken of sacks." Hamilton has a two-QB-on-the-field set as well. wide side hitch screen to Schiltz, who runs for a first down.

yeah, I noticed that, saw two guys in the huddle checking wristbands at the same time and was like 'wha?'

edit: the news is not all good. Texas has a cap on punitive damages, so it is uncertain how much Jones will be liable for. here's some more! you may have heard that on Thursday the Alex Jones jury hit him with $4.1M in damages. I wasn't super impressed with that, that's like a fine, a cost of doing business if you're a sleazebag dipshit. but today the jury awarded a further $45M in damages to the Sandy Hook parents. For whatever reason, the Texas damages jury returns their results in a little two-day festival. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/alex-jones-sandy-hook-case-decision-1392581/

sure looked like face guarding, but the ball wasn't catchable really, it wasn't on target at all.

I don't think the Calgary D is playing especially tight at this point. They're just keeping everything in front of them ... they know just like we do that the second read on every Lapo play is the checkdown man.

I grabbed a few seconds of horn and crowd noise audio from the game highlights. here's a freq distribution for that slice. like you said, sharp peaks ... you can really see how nasty that horn is, it's 10-18db louder than the crowd depending on the frequency. That's a LOT of dBs. TSN must have had a mic pointed directly at horn people. I dorked around with notch filters and parametric eq's but couldn't make anything fine enough to preserve the crowd noise while taming the horn. I wonder if a sound engineer could fix this in the course of a broadcast or if she would shrug and tell her boss they need to fix the problem at its source, by changing up the stadium mics or taking the horns away.

now starting to remind me of another bomber team, the 2013 Tim Burke no-hopers.

the 2022 blacks remind me of the 2010 bombers so much. Promising pieces, some entertaining games, some fine individual performances, but zero ability to close.
