One last thing: If BC beats Saskatchewan by exactly 3 points this week, they will still need to beat Calgary by 13 points or more (and avoid a 3-way tie scenario involving Winnipeg) to pass Saskatchewan for 2nd place.

1. Ottawa needs one win to clinch top spot, or one Hamilton loss. In their head-to-head game, a tie will also clinch top spot for Ottawa. 2. Hamilton needs a win against Ottawa, AND a win and Ottawa loss or tie in the final week's games, or a tie and an Ottawa loss in the final week's games, to claim top spot. 2. Calgary needs one tie in their last 2 games to clinch top spot in the West. They can finish no lower than second. 3. Saskatchewan needs a win and 2 Calgary losses to clinch top spot. They need a win, a tie, or a loss by less than 3 points in their game against BC, or a BC loss or tie in their game against Calgary in the final week, to clinch 2nd place. In the event of a 3 way tie with Winnipeg and BC at season's end (they lose to BC, and Winnipeg and BC win all of their other games), they will finish 2nd. They can finish no lower than 3rd. 4. Winnipeg needs a tie in their last 2 games to clinch a playoff spot and eliminate Edmonton. They need any combination of wins and BC losses totalling 2 to clinch 3rd place (not considering any tied game scenarios), provided there is no 3 way tie involving Saskatchewan at season's end. They can finish no better than 3rd. 5. BC needs a win over Saskatchewan by 4 or more points and a win in their other game to finish 2nd, provided there is no 3 way tie with Winnipeg at season's end (in that event, they will finish 3rd). Not considering tied games or the 3 way tie scenario, they will need any combination of wins or Winnipeg losses totalling 3 to clinch 3rd. they can finish no lower than 4th. 6. Edmonton needs a win and 2 Winnipeg losses to make the playoffs. They can finish no better than 4th, regardless of any 3 way tie scenarios.

If the Bombers beat Calgary, the only way they cannot clinch a playoff spot is if we end up with the 4-teams tied at 10-8 scenario. With Edmonton and BC playing this weekend, either Edmonton will be 8-9 or BC will be 8-8 (assuming no tie), so a 10th Bomber win would ensure them either a better record than Edmonton or at worst the same record as BC (and we win the tiebreaker with BC based on winning the season series in point differential). Even if they tie, the Bombers would still have a better record than Edmonton provided we beat Calgary (at worst 10-8 vs 9-8-1). In fact, a BC win over Edmonton clinches them a playoff spot this weekend, but not us. And if BC beats Edmonton and we have a 3-way tie at season's end, BC and Edmonton would get in based on head-to-head-to-head (this would require us to lose both of our last 2 games). If Edmonton wins and there is a 3-way (no snickering), then Edmonton and Winnipeg would get in. So all we really need to do is beat Calgary and avoid the Riders sliding back into a 4 way tie for 2nd.

Anyone but the Leafs. Even if they got swept, all we'd hear from the broadcasts was how amazing Matthews is, how Toronto is the next great thing. Literally, could you see the Jets actually being presented the Stanley Cup and the commentators are saying at that very moment. "what a valiant effort by Toronto, they will be a force for years to come"?

Can Trump issue a directive limiting the scope of the FBI investigation? And if not, is Trump then interfering with this FBI probe, and subsequently can he be charged with obstruction of justice? Wouldn't it be something if THIS was the FBI probe that took him down, and not Russia?

Why, would he turn into Bill Cosby?

BC was.

For free verse, absolutely!

Good catch.

Nice clean game, did not force plays, put together a big time consuming, point scoring drive when we needed it in the 4th quarter, and delivered on the kill shot on 2nd and long to ice the game. Played with focus and fire. Thanks for settling things down with the team and this bi-polar fan base, good job (and you throw a spiral a million times better than Johnny "Quack quack" Football). Go get 'em next week!

Haiku: just three lines. Syllables: five, seven, five. Are we all clear now?

What a jumbled mess Can we not count syllables? Worst. Haiku. Ever.

Congrats on the win MOBomberFan Well played!

Advantage MOB

Reynolds is on at the 2:49:00 mark, but watch a likely very high Kirsty Alley at 2:45:00 for some context to his speech.

Well, last chance here, so for the first time all season, got to go with Andrew Harris.

Who did everyone pick last week?

Of course there is an excuse. It’s “The GOP has the numbers and can manipulate the system to get their guy in”. It’s the same excuse for denying/stonewalling Obama’s pick for a year under the pretence of “can’t allow a pick in an election year, should be a ballot issue”. Oh, you wanted a GOOD excuse..... If Ruth Bader Ginsburg passes away (can’t Imagine her retiring with Trump in power, even if she is 84), it is quite astounding to think that 33% of the highest court in the country for the next 30-40 years could be shaped by Donald Trump. And a sad indictment of both the US court and political systems that a supposedly non-political body is seen as acting in such a partisan manner depending on who sits on it.

What a stunning rebuke of the current Presidency delivered by John McCain’s daughter Meghan during his eulogy. Never thought I’d see a funeral used as a place for character assassination against a sitting Commander-in-Chief. Guess McCain didn’t care for the “my heroes don’t get shot down and captured “ jab during the campaign. The times we live in.

They should make a tape of Randle's attempt on the Jorden TD on "how not to tackle". Body checking belongs in hockey, try wrapping up with your arms. That was beyond awful.

Aww, did I hurt your feelings? Play better.

Funny, no one criticizing Calgary for their failing short yardage passing scheme.

Win the turnover battle and the time of possession.
