Wakefield got suckered into reacting and got tossed. The game has become no fun to watch, so catch you all Monday.

Antwi looks like a legit CFL running back.

And if my aunt has wheels she would be a bicycle.

Obviously, Sara really ticked someone off. Williams is mortally wounded.

Starting to look like the game may come down to which quarterback survives. Nice runback by Worthy. Not Jared?

Looks like Fajardo has lost his mojo after getting rocked a few times.

Als' punt returner deserves to be given Mjolnir! Fajardo gets sacked! He is going to have to get used to a lot of that. Hissy-fit predicted.

Kinda surprised that Pierre Poilievre wasn't there for the photo-op.

Aaaand...there's the game. Ticats delf-destruct.

Elks may win despite themselves (and Chris Jones)

TiCat offence is imploding.

Game feels like it is bogging down. With all its mistakes, the first half was more entertaining.

Agreed, but where in Winnipeg can you get a good deep-dish pizza?

It would appear that Mr. Ford needs more seasoning as QB, based on his performance so far. Not getting too much help from his team, though.

Russia Arrests Flyers’ Ivan Fedotov for Being ‘Army Draft Dodger’ Philadelphia Flyers hockey player Ivan Fedotov has been arrested by Russian police and accused of evading military service. Fedotov led the Russian Olympic Committee to a silver medal at the 2022 Beijing Olympics but signed with the Flyers in May, terminating his contract with Moscow’s CSKA hockey club. Because the team is owned by the government, players are technically considered military personnel. It’s been speculated that by joining the Philadelphia Flyers NHL team, Russia can charge him with evading military service. Russian media reported that the military prosecutor’s office issued an arrest request, saying that “there are sufficient grounds to consider Fedotov an army draft dodger.” He could spend up to two years in prison if convicted for the violation. Moscow’s CSKA issued a statement, expressing confidence that “the competent authorities will sort out this situation.”

Well, it IS an entertaining game.

TiCats looking good so far. Don't know why Shiltz went in, though.

The Koch brothers contaminating the Fraser Institute is simply putting icing on the cake. The Fraser Institute has been an echo chamber for the most right-wing conservatives in Canada for decades.

Rumour has it that John Turner is still available.

And for that, we give great thanks.

Top Tory Lawmaker Resigns After ‘Drunkenly Groping 2 Men’ Another day, another disaster for Boris Johnson. Senior Conservative party lawmaker Chris Pincher resigned Thursday after allegedly getting drunk and groping two men at a private members club in London. “Last night I drank far too much,” Pincher wrote to Johnson in his resignation letter. “I’ve embarrassed myself and other people which is the last thing I want to do and for that I apologise to you and to those concerned.” Pincher relinquished his job as Tory deputy chief whip—a figure responsible for party discipline—but is astonishingly set to stay on as a lawmaker, despite howls of protest from the opposition. This is actually the second time Pincher has resigned from the whips’ office; in 2017, he stood down after being accused of making unwanted advances towards a former Olympic rower. News of Pincher’s resignation comes after the Tory chairman resigned last week in the wake of a humiliating double-election defeat for Johnson’s party. https://www.thedailybeast.com/top-tory-lawmaker-chris-pincher-resigns-after-drunkenly-groping-2-men?ref=home

Texas educators propose changing 'slavery' to 'involuntary relocation' to pacify Republicans An advisory group of Texas educators has proposed changing the word “slavery” to “involuntary relocation” after the Texas State Board of Education directed them to examine how to implement a new law, signed by Gov. Greg Abbott, banning the teaching of topics that would make students “feel discomfort.” The group, comprised of nine educators, made the proposal for second-grade social studies instruction, but “board members have asked them to reconsider the phrasing, according to the state board’s chair,” The Texas Tribune reports. State Board of Education Member Aicha Davis told the Tribune, that calling slavery “involuntary relocation” is “not going to be acceptable.” “Part of the proposed social studies curriculum standards outlines that students should ‘compare journeys to America, including voluntary Irish immigration and involuntary relocation of African people during colonial times,'” the Tribune notes. https://www.alternet.org/2022/07/texas-educators-slavery-involuntary-relocation/

That fumble recovery was right on the Money.

Hmmm....Butler did not do it this time.

The play by play guy tonight is pretty good. Works well with Matty.
