Not to derail this game thread... And I know I'm in the minority, but I really never understood Jay and Dan. I just don't get the forced awkward comedy. As was mentioned earlier the old school professional broadcasting style of the original crew is more what I like, and when they do something funny it's rare and hilarious. Anyone remember the panel watching a clip of big Joe Montford attempting to chase down a fumbled ball and Dunigan yelling at the monitor "C'mon Joe! Get it Joe!!" ?? It was our of nowhere and hilarious.

Not everyone is James Duthie and that's okay....but they try and force everyone into that role. (And I don't necessarily always find Duthie funny, but you get my point) The best, IMO, will always be Randorf. Didn't try too hard...

I don't care for her, but I also want representation... Need more women and visible minorities in those positions. But man it's be nice if they had a lady that was actually GOOD at it, for sure...

That ball shoulda been picked or at least knocked down. Either way should never have been caught.

Osh is ultra conservative. Will always take the field position. It's curious how rarely we see trick plays of any kind.

Biggest whiner since Burris...

17to85 and I were talking earlier today about having to cheer for Faj. Blech. But I am not cheering for the Faj.... Just got BC to continue to **** themselves week in and week out.

In Regina? Yes! I just got the email about that.... Lemme find the deets for you ... Crave Kitchen and Wine Bar from 7-8:30!

In light of Bubba Buffett passing, I was gonna mention... For anyone who likes music reads, I'm a big fan of the unofficial biography "A Good Life All The Way", which is a SUPER DEEP dive into his family history, his start in Key West, and the development of Yacht Rock.

This. His shoulder is toast...

Devastated......... I became somewhat of a Parrot Head in the last few years and came to worship everything he built as a businessman, and several of the songs he wrote that were genius. RIP, Bubba...... there will NEVER be an equal.

The Third, Esquire.

excellent - that is exactly what I wanted to hear. I'm super twitchy about that sort of thing now. Love that FX is giving them a platform to tell their own stories. About Goddamned time.

this is an absolutely terrifying DL for every opposing OC in the league... frightening. Until Osh actually makes the move of keeping Jackson over Haba, there's just no sense in getting upset about it. Pre-emptive rage is just a waste of time and energy. You can have your tantrum (and I'm not saying it won't be warranted!!) when and if it actually happens.

finally watched a trailer for S1... I didn't know exactly what this show was, despite having heard lots about it. I was intrigued by the trailer... it almost reminds me of Letterkenny if they focused on the indigenous characters and the so-called "skids". Seems interesting. I'll give it a run for sure, but I'm curious what my indig music friends think of this. I'm always curious if something like this is accurate or if it's a white-washed version of something. Hopefully it's a fully indig production from concept to creation...

I get what you guys are saying about Bailey's ceiling, and I don't necessarily disagree, but I think you're maybe overestimating the depth of some of the teams out there. There's more than a few teams that are shitty enough where Bailey would easily be their #2 guy and pay him accordingly (hell the Riders were going to do just that, and he snubbed them because he's Blue and Gold and **** the Riders)

re: Bailey.... yes he took less to be here. Said he had a hard time imagining himself playing anywhere else. There was also a quote around that time where he said that playing for the Bombers this year would help increase his value next offseason. He would have a better chance of putting up "money" stats this year that would really help him get paid next year. So he's at least thinking about being a star (or at least having a much higher profile) somewhere else... and I certainly don't blame him. I'd love to have him as a Bomber forever, but if he wants to go get paid elsewhere, that's his right for sure.

he had a follow up tweet saying that he's really glad the CFL never went the way of being an official development league for the NFL, and I thought to myself "That's the most pro-CFL thing Dave Naylor has ever said..."

I swear most of the people who "hate" Proulx, do so because of his accent.

this is fun and worth your read....

if we find a way to get both Haba and Hansen into the DL rotation this week, watch the **** out....
