I watched the bomber game this afternoon from the TSN on-demand section with no issues, but that was from an MTS account.

There once was a receiver who wasn't so tall Chris Jones proclaims that he is too short to ball So he moved to east from west To the team that we all love best And of the games he's played against his old team? He's won them all!

There once was an Andrew named Harris The boatmen said "He doesn't scare us!" Andrew pounded the Ball and the argos did call "Trestman, start the bus!"

J5V, WBBFanWest and Mr Dee, all 3 of you are dogging it tonight.

Honorable mention to the goal post...

I got my in-laws MTS login to be able to watch right off the TSN sight, works pretty good. Only thing I miss is PVR stuff, pause, jump back 30 sec, etc. Anyone know anything about setting up a PC To act as a PVR for online streams?

Well, that was worthy of the giant bowl of popcorn I just ate.

There was also at least one play where the refs missed a call to our benefit. Can't remember exactly when, 3rd quarter I think, but one our pass rushers ended up absolutely clotheslining the edm QB in the head just as the pass was thrown with no call made by the refs.

Rider fans have seen a lot of games over the last 2 years where Durant was not their QB. They should know this already. Heck, Glenn was already the backup that turned starter for what, 4-5 of those games?

Hah, that's exactly how TBBC got started as well

I wonder what the conditions on that 2nd rounder are, just sign a new deal, or new deal plus games played?

If Medlock somehow doesn't win, would that be a bit of an extra slap in the face due to the fact that Banks got suspended 2 games for the substance abuse violation?

I can see how that would cause issues with the players. "If it wasn't for me giving you a chance, you'd be on the street" kind of attitude.

I don't know what item has you pegged as living in a fantasy world more, your description of the game, or the idea that they would run a greycup parade down regent......

I was thinking a little about that this morning, with what Chris Jones has done since he came into town over there (and even the circumstances leading to his departure in edmonton). If in some totally ****** up universe where the riders were the team I cheered instead of the bombers, what would my perspective be on Chris Jones, in comaprision to how I felt about Mike Kelly at the tail end of his one and done season. There are a ton of similarities, but I almost think Jones may be worse. He never fully lost the media, but man, to treat that last home game as a pre-season game, and then turn around and try to sell it as something other than a **** sandwich.....that would have been the last straw I think.

I was joking to my wife as the game started that this was the "ref abusers bowl", Maas vs. shovelface. Looks like it lived up to the billing.....

Aside from the fact that I think the Eskimos are playing better than the Lions right now, and they also have what is a weaker remaining schedule, BC and Edm are in equal spots as far as chasing down the bombers. Both need 2 wins to get past us, and both have an extra game to play. You can pencil in the loser of the bc-edm game this week as the cross-over team.

I was just running some of the numbers for a 3 way tie scenario. 1st tie-breaker: has won the greater number of games played against all member Clubs of the League, Non-factor, there won't be two ties to give teams the points needed to make a tie without an even number of wins. 2nd tie-breaker: has the higher winning percentage in all games played against all of the other tied Club(s), Right now Winnipeg would have 3/5 wins against the tied clubs. Edm is currently at 3/4, and could lockup this tie-breaker if they beat BC again. If BC wins, they would still lose this tie breaker as they would only have 1 win vs. the tied clubs. Assuming BC pulls it out and wins, that would bring Winnipeg and Edmonton even, for the 3RD TIE-BREAKER!!!: has scored the higher net aggregate of points (i.e. points scored for less points scored against) in all games played against all of the other tied Club(s), The Edmonton 40-26 win Vs Winnipeg basically seals it for them. I don't know if they would bring all 3 teams down into this tie breaker, as BC is already last of the group based on the 2nd criteria. If the BC points matter, then Edm ends up +15, Wpg -6 and BC -9, pending the outcome of this weekend. If BC wins by 22 or more, that would put WPG ahead of Edm, but could BC steal the tie breaker with the best points for-against vs. tied clubs, even though they had the worst 2nd tie breaker? If BC wins by exactly 21, Edm and Winnipeg tie at -6 and we go to 4th tie breaker, which is boring. Just points for divided by points against. Edm wins that over Wpg, as there is only one score that could force that tie breaker. TL:DR; Other poster was probably right. Edm finishes on top of pretty much any 3 way tie scenario, Wpg as the 3rd place west team, and BC to the cross over.

Was it a plan to do an upgrade during a bye week, incase something broke? Because kudos to you for that foresight. If it wasn't planned, just take the credit anyway =)

Has the team ever been near 26k season ticket holders? I thought they only broke 20k a few years in the old stadium, and I don't know how many they added in the first year of the new stadium, but to me, 26k seems pretty high.

I am hoping sask (and mtl) can pass the argos in thr standings so wpg can end up with the first overall after a greycup win.

Edam looked good his first year in mtl, then seemed to drop off. He seems serviceable now but a little invisible at times. Hopefully loffler is still trending up and wont plateau anytime soon.

And then bang his tuna girlfriend.

Way back in the day I dropped about $3k on a 50" Samsung DLP TV. Got it from visions, and got some extra warranty on it as well. Glad I did, because after 2-3 years, it ended up getting some "Stuck" pixels, which all DLPs seem to get. Guy came to fix it, says they don't make the parts he needs any more, and the whole TV would be replaced. Great, or so I thought. Holy **** was it like pulling teeth trying to get Visions to live up to their end of the warranty. They tried giving me a lesser TV. Mine was 1080, They were going to offload a 720 on me. They tried telling me that going from DLP to plasma I woudn't notice the difference, and that they are doing me a favor by letting me get a plasma in the first place. I held my ground and dug my heels in, I wasn't going to take a TV that was worse than the one I bought. Well, that had to be approved by someone in Calgary. Only the one person could do it. And they were on vacation for 3 weeks. Took another couple weeks after that for them to finally sign off on replacing my defective TV with one of equal quality. "Great!" I said. "When can you drop it off?" I asked. No no, I had to go to the store and get it. Despite that the extra warranty I bought clearly stated it was "In Home" warranty, they were unwilling to budge on actually providing that service in my home. Very frustrating. I was able to borrow a van from a friend after a few days and went and got my TV. When I got there, they asked for my old TV back as well. Fair enough, as they were replacing it with a new one. But like hell I was dropping it off. "Come pick it up" I told them, they never did. After 6 months, the stuck pixels hadn't got any worse and Visions made no effort to come get it.. My buddy offered me $500 for it, and that was that. Visions customer service can eat a bag of dicks as far as I care.
