damn, I wish Moe Leggett could have had some of the glory of 2019. If I'd bought a jersey in 2014-2018 it would've been his. he was such a huge part of the 2016 turnaround season. https://www.cfl.ca/games/2338/bc-lions-vs-winnipeg-blue-bombers one of my favorite games ever, so much great action & drama, and the good guys win because Moe Leggett is clutch.

my final word on this story: the wingers' hot take is to blame the abortion biz for massively outspending the anti-abortion side. which is their way of saying:

media now calling the Kansas referendum for the No side. Kansans have voted to protect a woman's right to control her own body.

big post-Roe referendum in Kansas tonight, as abortion "returns to the states" With just under half the votes counted, the Kansas anti-abortion constitutional amendment is being rejected 64-36. If this result holds then abortion will remain legal and (afaik) unrestricted in Kansas. The background is complicated. The Kansas Supreme Court ruled recently that their state's constitution prevented legislators from passing abortion restrictions. With Roe gone and abortion now a matter for the states, anti-abortion people placed a constitutional amendment on today's Kansas ballot that would override the Kansas Supreme Court and explicitly state that no matter what else the Kansas constitution says, it does not contain a right to an abortion.

Good news for Roughrider fans: it's nothing but adversity from here on out.

wasn't there some animosity there about Harris' role? like maybe Wally didn't see him as an undisputed RB1? seem to recall something like that.

I think I've got that one. No nameplate, silkscreened numbers, made of a weird polyester that still has a little bit of off gassing smell? I've lost a bunch of weight recently and I'm getting an away bomber jersey to celebrate hitting 200lbs. Trying to figure out who, but ZC8 is definitely in the mix. My wife is a big fan of any bomber who does animal welfare work so she wants me to get an Oliveira or maybe a Cvetty. I'm thinking BATTLE 34 or T. JONES 35 is gonna be it tho it's a tiny bit weird to get a super vintage name on a modern jersey.

my next jersey is going to be the white home model we wear at IGF West.

for real, when I saw that play I thought of Robert Marve. late in the season vs Calgary, whacky play, QB running around like a roadrunner then making a magical throw, home crowd loses its mind, a fun thing to watch but probably just yet another flash in the pan from yet another emergency Bomber QB. made me also think about that nutty Goltz to Denmark throw from a few years previously. Troy Kopp before him. Those guys popped up, made a bit of magic, then dried up and blew away. but then ZC kept doing it, and he kept getting better and better and better... Marve has a bunch of DV on his resume since retiring from football. glad he didn't pan out.

this is me eating the most delicious slice of humble pie I've ever eaten. thanks to 204 for the late laugh reaction that highlighted my earlier, dumber self.

wow, the Lions' OL is a light year better than they were last year. they gave butler some real nice holes to run thru tonight and gave up only two sacks ... Riders were the leading sackers going into the game.

Chungh hustling on the missed FG cover. love seeing a big OL vs. a little guy on kick coverage.

the 50/50 ball not working for the Riders ... so they throw the 10/90 ball.

Campbell, why you got your prize young QB out there running on 3rd-and-inches?

say what you want about Duke, but he just saved a pick on that uggggggly throw to the endzone.

man that guy is 26-13 in the past three seasons. if what you say about his roster and culture is true, he shouldn't be winning 2/3 of his games. Someone deserves the credit for all the winning they've been doing over there. The riders have a good team and a good coach, just not good enough to beat us at any point. if you take Winnipeg games out of the equation, the Riders' record goes from very good to stellar. We are basically their kryptonite.

new season, new uniform, same headline: Harris runs wild against Regina.

whoah, panel has the knives out for Dinwiddie. say what you want about TSN, their panel doesn't polish turds.

Nick Moore, Adarius Bowman, Chris Matthews, Ryan "glitch catch" Smth ...Before Ellingson, Dressler was the only FA who wasn't bit by the Bomber veteran import receiver curse...

You should definitely not be cocky. That 6-0 record is gaudy but CFL history is littered with great regular seasons that went bust. Right now we are one-dimensional on O .... no one can stop Collaros. If someone figures out how to do that, or the weather kicks in, or god forbid (i'm not even going to say it, it would be so devastating) we are hooped.

Turnover, automatically reviewed

wow. agony and ecstasy.

SLING NASTY!

that cross body throw back into the middle of the field, that's another time when it's looked like Collaros had thrown a real bad pass ... but instead it's a perfect strike.
