Thank-you for your service.

As for the commentators rooting for Toronto, they are in the business of selling a story, selling excitement, so they will cheer on an underdog or a comeback, not because they hate your team but because they want to keep the audience engaged and invested until the clock hits zero. Again probably not a popular take for many who have expressed their consistent disdain for the TSN broadcast. But I’m pretty confident Rod Smith and Duane Ford don’t care who wins or loses, nor do the refs unless they are betting on the outcome (and I don’t think an Argo-Bomber game is seeing such action as to make it worth the effort). But fans will fan, so to each their own. And I can only speak for myself, but I suppose I have reached the age where I realize that yelling at the TV is never going to change the call, whether that makes me less of a fan or just closer to a Zen state of enlightenment is for others to decide. Namaste. 

 

This I agree with.

Appreciate that, but with those abilities where the hell were you during the 29 year drought making us all suffer? Hack! 😁

You needed a chicken sacrifice at dawn to make that really work.

I am grateful anytime the commentators don't spend much of the 4th Q ignoring the play below and yapping on about anything and everything that pops into their heads, as if the football game isn't the sole reason we are tuned into to their broadcast.  I guess that may have been a Rod Black specialty.

If it worked this time that’s a big huzzah in my books. Maybe between your boisterous curses, Tracker’s voodoo rituals, and my silent incantations we can sway the football gods some more!

If all else fails, you be reduced to sacrificing a virgin. If you can find one.

This is what Computer Science looked like when I was in HS back in 1973 & we had to go to the U of M to complete our assignments. 

 

Ha, ha. Those were the days.

Imagine dropping your stack of cards on the way to submit your assignment.

Apparently your smartphone has way more computing power than the computer that guided the first Apollo mission to the moon.

I don't have have to imagine it. My buddy, thinking he was being funny, kicked more than a box of cards out from under my arm. Cards everywhere! Not only that, we only got 10 compiles to get it right before we had to hand in the results. I lost 2 just getting it back in order. Still got 100%.

When I started at Brandon U in the fall of '98, the only place you had internet access was in the basement of the building in the "computer lab", and you just basically used it to check email, 'cause that was mostly all any of us did at the time. I'm an old man, but I really do miss the days pre-mobile internet. I'm as obsessed with checking my phone every 5 seconds as anyone else...and I hate it. Death to mobile internet...

Not a problem for me! This is legit my current cell phone. Right now, at this moment in time, July 6 2022:

^^ awesome. i'm pretty sure I'm going to go to the newer Samsung flip phone that came out a couple years back when my current Galaxy Plus contract is up...

[Bubba Zanetti]

I love it. Ive had it damn near 10 years. Dropped a million times and keeps on ticking. No internet, just call+text. $20 a month. Very satisfying to slam shut when aggravated after a conversation. One of lifes small joys that a very small minority still get to enjoy.
