Completely off topic here... but I was at a friend's wedding a few weeks ago... the bride is originally from Tampa, now lives in MB (long story)... so some of her friends from Tampa were at the wedding... I was talking to one girl at some point in the night and I only thing I remember from the conversation is she told me she had a friend that played in the CFL.... when she said James Wilder, I knew she was legit b/c who else would know the 3rd string (at the time) RB for the Argos... turns out he might be a good one...

FYI I usually wait til last minute-ish... so don't expect a pick from me til Friday...

I actually think the Riders looked worse in their win against Ham than they did in their loss against us... Ham was just so bad there was no denying them the loss that night... it was borderline inspirational!

I went to game four of the first round and the announced crowd was, I believe, around 3600... I just guessed it had been higher in the finals... but it appears I may have been wrong... But by American Association standards... I wonder where the Goldeyes rank in attendance...

I can't imagine the league postpones for 3 or 4 days just to try and get seats sold... I bet Winnipeg sells out game 5 no matter when it is...

I really liked the NDP MLA running in my area... he was young, smart, committed and very personal when I had a chance to meet him... that being said I didn't actually vote (I actually had a busy day and just forgot, haha!) ... but now, I couldn't possibly support this party no matter how much I like the local MLA...

Hoping to catch game 5 tonight but the weather looks ominous, at best... and I won't be available tomorrow should it get postponed...

I don't really care if some fans want to call this an easy win... all I care about is how the team prepares for this game... and everything we've seen from the group the last couple years leads me to believe they will not be complacent against any opponent...

to clarify... I think that you contribute here as far more than a just "joker"... but you're also one to provide a humdinger every now and then... which I appreciate...

I watched a lot of the second half of this game... my analysis was basically that the Riders won because the cats did basically everything possible to lose... neither team was good, the cats were much worse...

I'm just hoping that week 20 match-up with Calgary means something for both teams... hopefully it'll be a showdown for first... but Calgary is going to need to drop a few and we can only afford to lose 1 more (maybe 2) for that to happen...

fair enough... but you have been around long enough to know who the "jokers" are (no offense @mbrg) and who is making a legitimate argument... that was very clearly a joke...

probably... but I find it hard to believe a gadget or trick play would be scripted... that should only be called in certain circumstances... in the Edm game, it should not have been called... But let's discuss that play more b/c I don't actually think it has ever come up here!

Well the joke about Joe Mack was he could only find player that were too good - Matthews, Mulumba, Bilikudi - or players that were not good enough - almost every other player he brought in...

Awesome video... I loved Heath getting in Carter's face all game, especially when he was "escorting" the pouting baby off the field... clearly Heath won that battle on the field and in his head...

OK.... I'm going with Derel Walker

hahaha... you'll never guess who I had in mind... back to the drawing board...

A Kavis Reed run team with no consequences?... I refuse to believe it!

If Nik Lewis writes a book... I'll read it!

I think you might be confusing a joke with an argument...

Isn't it nice that we're finally on the list of teams that doesn't have QB questions going into the off-season!

Oh well... Goldies weren't gonna sweep anyways... let's take game 2 tonight and come home with the split... gonna be tough for the visitors to win 2 of 3 in our park...

I went to the Goldeyes game Sunday afternoon...it was a fun game... kind of a crazy but thrilling end to the game... I'll describe how it went down in a little more detail for those interested, started at top of nine: Top 9: Goldeyes up 8-6... closing pitcher in the game... comes in a throws 2 heaters across the plate to go ahead 2-0 in the count and things are looking good... then pitch three, crack, gone... 8-7 Goldeyes... a few more hits and an error later and the salts have added 2 more and suddenly the fish are down 9-8 going into the bottom of nine... Bottom 9: First batter singles to get it started... second batter also a single to put runners at 1 and 2... third batter lays a nice bunt down the 3rd base line for the sacrifice to advance the runners to 2 and 3, one out.... next batter is intentionally walked to load the bases with one out... next batter - 4 straight balls... tying run walks across the plate... final batter of the day watches the first pitch, ball... then another... then another... finally the Saltdogs pull their pitcher for a different guy... what a situation to walk into: bottom of the ninth, tie game, bases loaded, one out, and down in the count 3 balls to zero strikes... his first pitch goes right into the dirt and the 3,500 people at Shaw Park go crazy as the Goldeyes win on a the classic walk-off walk... Was a fun game to be at... hoping to catch one of the games in the finals but it will likely have to be game 5 since I'll be out of town this weekend...

Just to clarify, I'm at 2 strikes and KBF is at 3? Also we will place all picks in this thread, not a new one each week, right? Just want to make sure I'm clear on the final rules here.

can you clarify this comment... you don't think the Bombers should be looking at him or you know/have heard they and other CFL teams are not interested at the moment?...
