Grumpy People, Talking Football/The CFL Outsiders S03 E20

1
00:00:37,183 --> 00:00:42,545
Hey kids. Welcome back to another episode
of the CFL Outsiders.
2
00:00:42,545 --> 00:00:46,487
I remain, as always, your 100% impartial,
3
00:00:46,487 --> 00:00:51,009
completely unbiased and completely
clueless host,
4
00:00:51,009 --> 00:00:57,312
Old Man Shouting at Clouds. Joining me
this week is MJ2.
5
00:00:58,716 --> 00:01:03,370
I spent some time in a junior high school
today so my ears are still ringing.
6
00:01:04,691 --> 00:01:05,691
better you
7
00:01:05,392 --> 00:01:08,575
than me. And also with us, MJ.
8
00:01:10,148 --> 00:01:12,573
hey everyone. just like I said last year,
9
00:01:12,573 --> 00:01:15,277
I'm very grateful to be living,
10
00:01:15,277 --> 00:01:18,042
working, and watching football on Treaty
Six.
11
00:01:19,048 --> 00:01:20,048
Yes.
12
00:01:20,089 --> 00:01:22,871
And that's ~ good timing for that.
13
00:01:22,871 --> 00:01:26,984
This will be dropping on Truth and
Reconciliation Day.
14
00:01:26,984 --> 00:01:30,188
So I see that I wasn't the only one
inspired.
15
00:01:30,188 --> 00:01:32,480
We've all got sort of appropriate shirts
on.
16
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,422
I've got the Saskatchewan Indigenous logo.
17
00:01:35,422 --> 00:01:37,283
MJ's got
18
00:01:36,825 --> 00:01:37,825
Nine.
19
00:01:37,283 --> 00:01:39,155
the the elk, which is a great one,
20
00:01:39,155 --> 00:01:42,167
and MJ too has Groucho Marks,
21
00:01:41,188 --> 00:01:42,188
Keep it real.
22
00:01:42,167 --> 00:01:43,167
no.
23
00:01:42,968 --> 00:01:45,209
Louis Riel, yes. I knew that.
24
00:01:44,433 --> 00:01:46,233
Does this make you a Bombers fan?
25
00:01:46,306 --> 00:01:47,306
No.
26
00:01:47,487 --> 00:01:50,960
But I did get this at the forks in
Winnipeg on a trip there,
27
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,073
so yeah. Love Winnipeg. Yes.
28
00:01:53,479 --> 00:01:56,521
Yeah. Yes. And the forks. If anyone's out
there and hasn't
29
00:01:54,073 --> 00:01:56,195
Yeah.
30
00:01:56,603 --> 00:01:57,603
Yes.
31
00:01:56,741 --> 00:01:57,741
it's
32
00:01:56,941 --> 00:01:58,953
that's well worth taking in that complex.
33
00:01:58,953 --> 00:02:01,784
It's ~ it's great. Yes indeed.
34
00:02:01,784 --> 00:02:05,237
I forgot I sh I have a pin that I should
have been wearing too that I picked
35
00:02:05,237 --> 00:02:06,888
up last year from this. But well.
36
00:02:06,888 --> 00:02:12,852
It's around somewhere. Any ~ any plans for
37
00:02:12,852 --> 00:02:16,534
the the day off or doing anything to
celebrate with it?
38
00:02:17,284 --> 00:02:18,846
You do get the day off in Alberta,
39
00:02:17,476 --> 00:02:18,858
haven't thought that far.
40
00:02:18,846 --> 00:02:19,846
do
41
00:02:18,947 --> 00:02:19,947
you not?
42
00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:24,197
Well, not really. So so I'm working
tomorrow,
43
00:02:20,186 --> 00:02:21,893
No, not really.
44
00:02:21,804 --> 00:02:24,623
do you not? I thought it was national.
45
00:02:24,197 --> 00:02:25,197
but
46
00:02:24,788 --> 00:02:25,788
well
47
00:02:25,998 --> 00:02:28,742
I know B C here is a official stat
holiday.
48
00:02:28,742 --> 00:02:30,815
I thought that was national. Well that's
49
00:02:30,323 --> 00:02:32,083
No. ~
50
00:02:32,204 --> 00:02:35,038
my work is closed. My husband's is not.
51
00:02:35,038 --> 00:02:39,203
~ school is closed. So ~ my son and I will
do something.
52
00:02:37,695 --> 00:02:40,995
Okay. Yeah. Well
53
00:02:39,203 --> 00:02:40,414
We'll we'll figure it out.
54
00:02:41,017 --> 00:02:44,088
that's unfortunate. It's ~ we should
really be,
55
00:02:44,088 --> 00:02:47,710
I think, all acknowledging this better and
it's it's a shame it doesn't
56
00:02:47,710 --> 00:02:49,882
get like I said, I'm shocked by that.
57
00:02:49,882 --> 00:02:54,864
Anyway, maybe we should talk about
football 'cause that's not that's
58
00:02:54,864 --> 00:02:59,566
a happy story even if ~ even if we haven't
turned the corner on where
59
00:02:59,566 --> 00:03:01,987
we should be yet on truth and
reconciliation.
60
00:03:01,987 --> 00:03:05,019
Okay, so ~ few little quick
61
00:03:05,151 --> 00:03:08,773
Tidbits first of all. Tell me if I read
this wrong.
62
00:03:08,773 --> 00:03:13,856
I saw a couple of reports last week that
the CFL voted to say,
63
00:03:13,856 --> 00:03:16,928
yeah, we'd really love to have a team in
Quebec City.
64
00:03:16,928 --> 00:03:20,050
But that was about it.
65
00:03:20,050 --> 00:03:24,653
There was no real announcement about an
owner or anything happening.
66
00:03:24,653 --> 00:03:28,576
And it was, you know, if we get a stadium
we could be playing in a few years.
67
00:03:28,576 --> 00:03:30,397
But did did I read that wrong?
68
00:03:31,147 --> 00:03:32,907
Is more information out there.
69
00:03:32,907 --> 00:03:35,648
~ I'm gonna say his last name wrong,
70
00:03:35,648 --> 00:03:37,409
but I think it's William Trudel.
71
00:03:37,409 --> 00:03:43,571
Trudel? Trudel? ~ he's a real estate
investor in Quebec,
72
00:03:43,571 --> 00:03:46,422
and he's all about building, he's like,
73
00:03:46,422 --> 00:03:49,563
what's great for the city is what I want
to be involved in.
74
00:03:49,563 --> 00:03:52,374
So it sounds like he's the one behind,
75
00:03:52,374 --> 00:03:56,675
he's the franchisee owner, and would be
the one behind.
76
00:03:57,559 --> 00:04:00,209
hoping to get that team up and running.
77
00:04:01,625 --> 00:04:06,807
Yes, but I didn't see the CFL saying that
they were had voted to take
78
00:04:06,807 --> 00:04:08,809
his expansion offer It was just
79
00:04:08,674 --> 00:04:09,674
Yeah.
80
00:04:09,169 --> 00:04:12,170
i as I read it, it was just it was really
rather weird.
81
00:04:12,170 --> 00:04:14,591
It was like put something news cycle.
82
00:04:14,591 --> 00:04:15,591
Yes.
83
00:04:14,873 --> 00:04:16,115
I think that they
84
00:04:16,115 --> 00:04:21,069
underestimated the Quebec sports news cyc
cycle and reporters,
85
00:04:21,069 --> 00:04:23,542
and I think this got out before they
intended it to.
86
00:04:23,542 --> 00:04:27,766
Quebec takes their sports very seriously,
87
00:04:24,395 --> 00:04:25,793
okay. That that may be
88
00:04:24,847 --> 00:04:25,847
Yeah.
89
00:04:27,766 --> 00:04:28,766
and
90
00:04:27,986 --> 00:04:30,128
so if there was even a whisper of
something,
91
00:04:30,128 --> 00:04:31,950
you knew that it was gonna be everywhere.
92
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:33,230
Because I feel
93
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,680
Yeah.
94
00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:39,212
like they caught on to it way before and
then now that it's come about again,
95
00:04:39,212 --> 00:04:44,442
it it seems to have more detail this time
because there was ~ I forget what article
96
00:04:44,442 --> 00:04:47,472
it was ~ I was looking this up 'cause
there was an article from
97
00:04:47,472 --> 00:04:53,498
a Quebec newspaper and they were able to
get in touch with his like ~
98
00:04:54,230 --> 00:04:56,611
real estate development company and they
said,
99
00:04:56,611 --> 00:04:58,942
Yeah, this is in the works, no further
comment,
100
00:04:58,942 --> 00:05:02,053
but yeah, like we're hoping to be involved
in this expansion.
101
00:05:02,053 --> 00:05:06,615
So that kind of I guess confirmed who it
was through backdoor channels.
102
00:05:06,615 --> 00:05:10,757
but yeah, CFL officially, I don't know if
they've said anything.
103
00:05:10,132 --> 00:05:11,132
I think they're like
104
00:05:10,982 --> 00:05:16,025
the governors and the ownership voted to
approve it if he wanted to do it.
105
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:16,483
Yeah. Yes.
106
00:05:16,025 --> 00:05:17,025
~
107
00:05:17,085 --> 00:05:21,208
I saw somewhere that they needed
provincial funding for this stadium.
108
00:05:21,208 --> 00:05:24,669
And I was like, friends, maybe you should
watch a little show called
109
00:05:24,669 --> 00:05:27,031
Who Killed the Montreal Expos
110
00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:28,270
Yeah.
111
00:05:27,851 --> 00:05:33,514
and their quest to get funding from the
provincial government for their new
stadium.
112
00:05:33,514 --> 00:05:34,514
~
113
00:05:34,076 --> 00:05:35,076
Yeah.
114
00:05:34,694 --> 00:05:38,196
I know I really I very much want to be
optimistic about this,
115
00:05:38,196 --> 00:05:39,196
and it would be
116
00:05:38,676 --> 00:05:41,778
really great and Quebec is such a great
football province.
117
00:05:41,778 --> 00:05:46,650
I just ~ I I I just wanna hedge that bet a
little bit.
118
00:05:46,714 --> 00:05:47,714
Yeah, 'cause
119
00:05:47,644 --> 00:05:52,036
they were saying that I forget how many
million bajillion dollars it was,
120
00:05:52,036 --> 00:05:54,628
but they're again, I should have cited my
sources,
121
00:05:54,628 --> 00:06:00,598
but in one of the articles, it was talking
about how the old Quebec Nordiques arena
122
00:06:00,598 --> 00:06:04,751
is being demolished and so they want to
build the new stadium there,
123
00:06:04,751 --> 00:06:09,493
but again would require like three levels
of government funding.
124
00:06:09,409 --> 00:06:10,409
Yeah.
125
00:06:10,203 --> 00:06:11,994
but I mean that's happened for hockey,
126
00:06:11,994 --> 00:06:14,378
but how will that happen for
127
00:06:14,485 --> 00:06:17,048
the CFL will that bring as much money?
128
00:06:17,048 --> 00:06:20,171
Maybe. but I think that the league is
happy.
129
00:06:20,171 --> 00:06:24,825
I was looking and it's a $25 million
franchise fee to join.
130
00:06:24,825 --> 00:06:27,118
So ~ the CFL is like
131
00:06:26,278 --> 00:06:27,278
Nothing.
132
00:06:27,118 --> 00:06:30,491
yes please join. Build your stadium
133
00:06:30,876 --> 00:06:32,146
Yeah, what a great idea.
134
00:06:31,089 --> 00:06:33,752
Please, please build your stadium.
135
00:06:34,193 --> 00:06:35,655
Can you build Calgary's,
136
00:06:34,258 --> 00:06:35,258
But yeah.
137
00:06:35,796 --> 00:06:36,796
please?
138
00:06:36,855 --> 00:06:39,676
Hey, Calgary hired an architect apparently
to this no,
139
00:06:39,415 --> 00:06:43,024
No, the UFC the U that's the U of C's
arena.
140
00:06:39,676 --> 00:06:41,087
that was University of Calgary.
141
00:06:41,087 --> 00:06:44,188
UFC's, yes, sorry, my bad.
142
00:06:43,024 --> 00:06:45,459
That's that's not that that's not them.
143
00:06:44,188 --> 00:06:46,029
Yeah. No, that this
144
00:06:46,029 --> 00:06:48,810
one this one just struck me as a weird
nothing burger,
145
00:06:48,810 --> 00:06:52,491
and I don't blame the CFL because they
didn't confirm or deny anything.
146
00:06:52,491 --> 00:06:56,713
So this was obviously three down nation
and others getting their news
147
00:06:56,713 --> 00:07:00,235
in and reporting it. But but if the vote
actually took place,
148
00:07:00,235 --> 00:07:04,797
it seems strange to me to be voting on
something that's not an actual proposal
149
00:07:04,797 --> 00:07:05,797
to expand.
150
00:07:06,037 --> 00:07:09,037
It's just saying, Would we like to go
here?
151
00:07:09,229 --> 00:07:10,229
What's
152
00:07:09,561 --> 00:07:11,882
the thing the same like concept of a plan?
153
00:07:12,536 --> 00:07:13,536
Yeah, I wanna
154
00:07:12,651 --> 00:07:13,842
Yeah, exactly.
155
00:07:13,178 --> 00:07:17,330
vote on a dream. My dream is for the Ti
cats to win the Greek Cup.
156
00:07:14,963 --> 00:07:18,245
Yeah.
157
00:07:17,330 --> 00:07:18,330
I would I me
158
00:07:17,862 --> 00:07:19,245
Second seconded
159
00:07:19,866 --> 00:07:22,908
Yes, there we go. Okay.
160
00:07:22,908 --> 00:07:25,669
Moving on to other stuff. Other stuff.
161
00:07:25,669 --> 00:07:29,272
They announced the Great Cup halftime show
this week,
162
00:07:29,272 --> 00:07:31,013
which is only or was it last week?
163
00:07:31,013 --> 00:07:34,305
I don't know now. It's only like four
weeks left in the season,
164
00:07:34,305 --> 00:07:36,897
which is early compared to last year.
165
00:07:36,897 --> 00:07:38,598
Riley Green, a
166
00:07:39,706 --> 00:07:44,132
Country music performer out of the United
States of America.
167
00:07:44,132 --> 00:07:46,415
I don't know what else to say.
168
00:07:46,415 --> 00:07:48,748
Do ya listen to Riley? Are you happy with
it?
169
00:07:49,498 --> 00:07:51,649
I have lots of thoughts. I don't know.
170
00:07:50,966 --> 00:07:51,966
Go ahead.
171
00:07:51,649 --> 00:07:52,649
Well,
172
00:07:52,370 --> 00:07:56,922
I will start. I feel like I gotta do like
the the positive burger.
173
00:07:56,922 --> 00:08:00,733
I'm really happy that Sarah McLaughlin is
gonna be singing the national anthem.
174
00:07:59,820 --> 00:08:00,820
Ciao!
175
00:08:00,733 --> 00:08:04,194
I'm excited. Jim Cuddy and Greg Keeler
will be in town.
176
00:08:04,194 --> 00:08:07,141
So I mean I don't have Grey Cup tickets
yet,
177
00:08:07,141 --> 00:08:09,552
but that's a draw for me for the pregame.
178
00:08:09,552 --> 00:08:13,093
They have a CFL, the CFL has a Grey Cup
song.
179
00:08:13,093 --> 00:08:14,374
Has anyone heard this?
180
00:08:15,055 --> 00:08:16,240
No, I didn't.
181
00:08:15,334 --> 00:08:16,364
It's called Saddle
182
00:08:16,364 --> 00:08:20,626
Up by Lewis Cardinal. And it's been out
like all summer.
183
00:08:20,626 --> 00:08:22,687
So they hired someone to
184
00:08:21,465 --> 00:08:22,465
What?
185
00:08:22,687 --> 00:08:26,948
write a Grey Cup song. So all of these are
Canadian performers.
186
00:08:26,948 --> 00:08:32,080
So I was like, yeah. So I'm celebrating
the Canadian performers part
187
00:08:32,081 --> 00:08:35,442
of this ~ musical event.
188
00:08:36,192 --> 00:08:41,445
~ right, so let me ~ I didn't know who
Riley Green was and I had to Google him.
189
00:08:41,445 --> 00:08:47,290
And in Googling, I came across some things
that make me wonder what
190
00:08:47,290 --> 00:08:49,371
the Grey Cup committee was thinking.
191
00:08:49,371 --> 00:08:55,665
in 2019, Riley Green had a song called
Bury Me and Dixie removed from Spotify
192
00:08:55,665 --> 00:08:57,666
because it was deemed too racist.
193
00:08:58,207 --> 00:08:59,207
Mm.
194
00:09:00,467 --> 00:09:06,529
In 2023, in he changed his lyrics in his
song from Bud Light to Coors Light
195
00:09:06,529 --> 00:09:09,931
to boycott Bud Light having a transgender
person in their ad.
196
00:09:09,931 --> 00:09:13,032
So he was part of that. 2026,
197
00:09:13,032 --> 00:09:17,454
he's on tour with on the MAGA Kid Rock
tour this sum this year.
198
00:09:18,954 --> 00:09:24,115
What it makes me so did you did they know
about these things and decided
199
00:09:24,115 --> 00:09:28,386
to hire him anyway, or did they not do any
due diligence and hired him?
200
00:09:28,386 --> 00:09:31,417
And either way really upsets me.
201
00:09:31,417 --> 00:09:37,518
honestly, I don't know how to be an ally
and support the CFL right now.
202
00:09:37,518 --> 00:09:41,084
How do I look somebody in the eye and be
like,
203
00:09:41,084 --> 00:09:42,975
you should watch CFL football?
204
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:47,266
And this is who is our main attraction at
the Grey Cup.
205
00:09:47,266 --> 00:09:48,861
I I don't know,
206
00:09:48,442 --> 00:09:49,442
This is
207
00:09:48,861 --> 00:09:49,861
I just
208
00:09:49,552 --> 00:09:55,297
and this is where I think I I get upset
because for choosing
209
00:09:55,418 --> 00:09:58,520
the halftime acts, is that the Grey Cup
committee?
210
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,632
So that's a separate committee from the
CFL,
211
00:10:00,632 --> 00:10:06,728
but does the CFL n approve or is it like
you guys go and plan your festival
212
00:10:06,848 --> 00:10:10,631
and your people and carry on Calgary Grey
Cup committee?
213
00:10:10,631 --> 00:10:13,274
Like because I don't know, I'm with you
with
214
00:10:13,734 --> 00:10:16,056
Everything that is going on in Alberta,
215
00:10:16,056 --> 00:10:19,918
~ right now when it comes to relationships
with the US,
216
00:10:19,918 --> 00:10:22,670
I just thought this ~ like you know,
217
00:10:22,670 --> 00:10:26,222
like they knew, they knew. So maybe this
guy has a lot of hits.
218
00:10:26,222 --> 00:10:29,365
~ I think one of his songs made number one
in Canada.
219
00:10:29,365 --> 00:10:31,746
So people clearly are listening to him.
220
00:10:31,746 --> 00:10:34,768
not my music, but also I think
221
00:10:35,518 --> 00:10:39,378
There there were other choices and why
this like I I don't know.
222
00:10:39,378 --> 00:10:43,347
So I'm not I'm not excited about it at
all.
223
00:10:44,637 --> 00:10:48,720
Yeah. Well I did I didn't know anything
about him at all,
224
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,623
other than they said he was a country
music performer.
225
00:10:51,623 --> 00:10:53,125
My first thought was, you know,
226
00:10:53,125 --> 00:10:57,348
rather predictable. I would have expected
that there especially in this time when
227
00:10:58,029 --> 00:11:01,753
Americans are not generally popular with
most most Canadians,
228
00:11:01,753 --> 00:11:05,106
that they should have been able to come up
with a Canadian act.
229
00:11:05,106 --> 00:11:08,359
There's Lord knows we have lots of talent
up here.
230
00:11:08,359 --> 00:11:09,360
Now it
231
00:11:08,384 --> 00:11:09,647
Like was Orville Peck
232
00:11:09,647 --> 00:11:15,339
not available? Like like so many.
233
00:11:11,253 --> 00:11:15,410
Tate McCrae, like it's so many country
artists.
234
00:11:13,247 --> 00:11:15,058
I'm yeah.
235
00:11:15,778 --> 00:11:17,269
whether you go country or not,
236
00:11:17,269 --> 00:11:19,690
there is a lot of good Canadian talent,
237
00:11:19,690 --> 00:11:21,141
as good as anything in the world.
238
00:11:21,141 --> 00:11:25,473
Now, MJ, you tell me all this stuff about
the rest of the stuff he's supporting
239
00:11:25,473 --> 00:11:30,345
in the background of it. That's a real
fail from the the CFL.
240
00:11:30,345 --> 00:11:32,716
that is and I feel sort of like you.
241
00:11:32,716 --> 00:11:37,319
I'm I'm hanging on to my C to be quite
honest with you,
242
00:11:37,319 --> 00:11:39,980
I'm hanging on to my C FL fandom by
243
00:11:41,288 --> 00:11:43,710
And increasingly thinning hair.
244
00:11:43,710 --> 00:11:48,003
It's I I'm not gonna be one of these
people who says,
245
00:11:48,003 --> 00:11:51,986
~ I'm not gonna watch any CFL out of
protest of the rule changes.
246
00:11:51,986 --> 00:11:54,248
You know, they'll make the rule changes,
247
00:11:54,248 --> 00:11:56,310
we'll see what they are. But frankly,
248
00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:59,032
I don't know if I'm gonna be interested.
249
00:11:59,032 --> 00:12:01,854
Because through this whole process,
250
00:12:01,854 --> 00:12:05,478
every step of the way, the league has
shown no respect for the fans.
251
00:12:05,478 --> 00:12:07,029
They haven't
252
00:12:07,363 --> 00:12:09,636
consulted, they haven't asked what people
want.
253
00:12:09,636 --> 00:12:14,373
They've just said, This is what we're
doing and you're gonna like it.
254
00:12:14,373 --> 00:12:18,209
So we'll see. I don't know. We'll see if I
like it next year.
255
00:12:17,411 --> 00:12:18,411
I don't know. I
256
00:12:18,341 --> 00:12:24,074
had it out with a very popular CFL
influencer on Instagram that did not seem
257
00:12:24,074 --> 00:12:29,056
to give a crap that this guy was a mega
guy and had all this stuff.
258
00:12:29,056 --> 00:12:32,958
So maybe I'm not a CFL fan that the CFL
wants anymore.
259
00:12:32,958 --> 00:12:35,179
That's what I thought this week.
260
00:12:33,199 --> 00:12:36,877
Yeah, that could be. I mean there's
there's gonna be lots
261
00:12:33,901 --> 00:12:34,901
Thanks.
262
00:12:35,179 --> 00:12:37,000
I was like, maybe I am
263
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,181
not what you are interested in.
264
00:12:39,181 --> 00:12:41,822
And you know what? Like like you like you,
265
00:12:41,822 --> 00:12:46,444
~ I'm hanging on by thread and you can
like someone much wiser than me.
266
00:12:46,585 --> 00:12:50,021
once told me that you can choose what you
spend your time and money on.
267
00:12:50,993 --> 00:12:54,446
You can choose and so I have chosen CFL,
268
00:12:54,446 --> 00:12:58,810
but I don't how can I choose this when
this is what keeps happening?
269
00:12:57,579 --> 00:12:59,943
Yeah. Yeah.
270
00:13:00,104 --> 00:13:03,871
I I cannot disagree with you. I don't
271
00:13:03,139 --> 00:13:04,139
That's why
272
00:13:04,279 --> 00:13:05,691
I think I'm so
273
00:13:06,335 --> 00:13:10,796
Like when I was looking at the lineup of
these amazing Canadian performers that
274
00:13:10,796 --> 00:13:14,446
would draw a crowd and that's the best you
could come up with.
275
00:13:14,446 --> 00:13:19,198
Like and and how many people did that go
through before like clearly people brought
276
00:13:19,198 --> 00:13:24,139
this up. Clearly people knew what has
happened and they didn't care.
277
00:13:24,139 --> 00:13:28,641
And I'm wondering who they think is going
to show up to watch this.
278
00:13:28,641 --> 00:13:31,911
that are they going to get any new fans?
279
00:13:31,911 --> 00:13:33,182
Is that part of the goal?
280
00:13:33,908 --> 00:13:38,070
You're like you guys said, actually this
made me even less interested
281
00:13:38,070 --> 00:13:42,667
in the Grey Cup and it's in my hometown
and I don't really wanna go.
282
00:13:42,667 --> 00:13:45,298
I'd rather watch it from home and fast
forward,
283
00:13:45,298 --> 00:13:50,411
which that's not what you want fans to be
seeing about the biggest game
284
00:13:50,103 --> 00:13:51,103
No.
285
00:13:50,411 --> 00:13:51,411
of the season.
286
00:13:52,224 --> 00:13:58,236
No. No, not definitely not. but I'm I'm
calling time out on all this because
again,
287
00:13:58,236 --> 00:14:00,107
yeah, I'm with you there with all of it.
288
00:14:00,107 --> 00:14:01,948
But we're a CFL podcast at this point,
289
00:14:01,948 --> 00:14:05,960
so let's try to keep somewhat positive for
the rest of this season and
290
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,091
~ then see where the chips fall.
291
00:14:08,091 --> 00:14:11,093
I'm moving on to well, a new CFL record.
292
00:14:11,093 --> 00:14:14,555
They say you can't win a game just
293
00:14:15,129 --> 00:14:20,167
Always kicking field goals, but the Elk
and ~ Vincent Blanchard said beg to
differ.
294
00:14:20,167 --> 00:14:23,392
Nine. Nine field goals.
295
00:14:22,581 --> 00:14:23,581
Yeah.
296
00:14:23,973 --> 00:14:25,435
Two of them in overtime, mind you,
297
00:14:25,435 --> 00:14:28,320
but still nine field goals without a miss.
298
00:14:27,579 --> 00:14:28,579
In like
299
00:14:28,659 --> 00:14:31,991
it was like a gale force wind on Saturday
in Edmonton.
300
00:14:31,596 --> 00:14:32,596
Yes.
301
00:14:31,991 --> 00:14:32,991
It was gusting like
302
00:14:32,991 --> 00:14:35,753
50 kilometers an hour, and those kickers,
303
00:14:35,753 --> 00:14:38,744
like I mean Legio also kicked a lot of
field goals that game too.
304
00:14:38,744 --> 00:14:41,801
There was like 15 field goal attempts of
the you know,
305
00:14:41,801 --> 00:14:43,817
wild. Wild.
306
00:14:42,849 --> 00:14:45,086
Yeah. Yes, indeed.
307
00:14:43,628 --> 00:14:44,904
But like nine.
308
00:14:45,499 --> 00:14:46,499
Nine.
309
00:14:46,089 --> 00:14:49,091
Remember when everyone was mad at him a
couple years ago and was like,
310
00:14:46,491 --> 00:14:47,491
Yes.
311
00:14:49,091 --> 00:14:50,091
whoa,
312
00:14:49,561 --> 00:14:51,632
cut him from the team. This guy sucks.
313
00:14:51,632 --> 00:14:52,632
Like
314
00:14:52,034 --> 00:14:53,034
Yes.
315
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,320
Meanwhile, he's
316
00:14:53,051 --> 00:14:55,343
just like his new number should be nine.
317
00:14:55,343 --> 00:14:58,276
Like honestly, let's get this guy's jersey
number,
318
00:14:56,065 --> 00:14:57,539
Yeah yeah. Yeah. Yes. The
319
00:14:56,322 --> 00:14:57,322
Yeah!
320
00:14:58,276 --> 00:14:59,276
number nine.
321
00:14:59,735 --> 00:15:02,843
I love it. Perfect. He is like a hero,
322
00:15:02,843 --> 00:15:04,989
like folk hero of the elks.
323
00:15:05,267 --> 00:15:06,267
Yes.
324
00:15:05,752 --> 00:15:08,282
this was throwing the Elk back thirty,
325
00:15:08,282 --> 00:15:13,033
forty years back when they were winning
the championships with Warren Moon because
326
00:15:13,033 --> 00:15:16,841
their style of play in that whole three or
four year run that they had
327
00:15:16,841 --> 00:15:19,442
was get the ball close enough for a field
goal,
328
00:15:19,442 --> 00:15:21,493
kick it, don't give up any points.
329
00:15:21,663 --> 00:15:23,185
Get the ball close enough for a field
goal,
330
00:15:23,185 --> 00:15:27,089
kick it. I'm surprised Cutler back in the
day didn't have nine doing that,
331
00:15:27,089 --> 00:15:28,531
but anyway that's
332
00:15:27,689 --> 00:15:28,712
I know, my like thought
333
00:15:28,712 --> 00:15:32,221
of that game was like, Do you enjoy
conservative play calling and field goals?
334
00:15:31,817 --> 00:15:33,420
Yeah. ~ yeah.
335
00:15:32,221 --> 00:15:33,314
Is this the game for you?
336
00:15:34,050 --> 00:15:38,552
And in the end, nine field goals and a
touchdown.
337
00:15:38,552 --> 00:15:40,172
And a two-point
338
00:15:39,078 --> 00:15:40,078
And a touchdown.
339
00:15:40,433 --> 00:15:45,094
convert and then another two point convert
forrest in overtime was enough.
340
00:15:45,094 --> 00:15:50,216
And b bad news for Yes.
341
00:15:45,212 --> 00:15:48,762
I ~ yeah, it's it's silly. I am happy for
him.
342
00:15:48,762 --> 00:15:50,917
Yeah.
343
00:15:50,216 --> 00:15:51,216
And
344
00:15:50,986 --> 00:15:56,448
unfortunately bad news for my panelists
today that knocked the Tiger Cats
officially
345
00:15:56,275 --> 00:15:57,275
Yeah.
346
00:15:56,448 --> 00:15:57,448
out of the
347
00:15:56,778 --> 00:15:57,778
playoffs.
348
00:15:58,067 --> 00:15:59,899
I feel like it's been a time
349
00:15:59,338 --> 00:16:00,338
Sorry.
350
00:15:59,899 --> 00:16:04,634
for the kickers lately too because I mean
you've got some that aren't making it,
351
00:16:04,634 --> 00:16:06,276
but like, you know, you thought,
352
00:16:06,276 --> 00:16:10,020
~ Renee Paradis, like kicking that long
field goal.
353
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,296
Sixty-two yard field
354
00:16:10,020 --> 00:16:11,020
This is
355
00:16:10,846 --> 00:16:11,846
Yeah.
356
00:16:10,951 --> 00:16:13,154
all we'll be talking about for kickers all
357
00:16:13,154 --> 00:16:14,866
season and then Blanchard's like,
358
00:16:14,866 --> 00:16:15,866
Nope.
359
00:16:15,788 --> 00:16:16,788
Hold my beer.
360
00:16:17,944 --> 00:16:19,690
What's happening this week, guys?
361
00:16:19,708 --> 00:16:20,708
Like
362
00:16:19,985 --> 00:16:20,985
Yeah.
363
00:16:20,966 --> 00:16:22,531
Kickers all meet up. Sean White,
364
00:16:22,531 --> 00:16:23,531
what do you got?
365
00:16:23,483 --> 00:16:27,599
Yeah, what's the kicker's group thread
look like group chat look like right now?
366
00:16:23,711 --> 00:16:27,297
Yeah, exactly. ~
367
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,362
You know they have one.
368
00:16:30,034 --> 00:16:31,034
to be an internet
369
00:16:30,126 --> 00:16:31,126
Good hopes though.
370
00:16:31,006 --> 00:16:32,840
fly on wall. yeah, I'm sure they
371
00:16:32,389 --> 00:16:33,389
Yeah.
372
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,840
do.
373
00:16:34,101 --> 00:16:38,323
anyway, nice work Vincente Very nicely
done.
374
00:16:36,603 --> 00:16:38,445
Yeah, I'm really happy for him.
375
00:16:38,323 --> 00:16:40,315
Yeah. I mean the
376
00:16:38,445 --> 00:16:39,824
I'm really happy for him.
377
00:16:40,315 --> 00:16:44,537
record is incredible, but just ~ the fact
that again without a miss
378
00:16:44,537 --> 00:16:46,928
in those conditions, something else.
379
00:16:46,928 --> 00:16:52,618
also we had more fines this week that went
back two weeks
380
00:16:53,219 --> 00:16:57,672
to the brawl in BC. Betts ended up for
some reason,
381
00:16:57,672 --> 00:16:59,253
didn't get fined in the first round,
382
00:16:59,253 --> 00:17:00,253
but
383
00:16:59,883 --> 00:17:05,685
got fined twice for a tackle and for an
interaction with one of the alouettes.
384
00:17:05,685 --> 00:17:09,436
And then at the the same time for last
week,
385
00:17:09,436 --> 00:17:14,667
the Toronto game, ~ Edmonton Taylor on the
D line for unnecessary roughness,
386
00:17:14,667 --> 00:17:16,057
who'd been thrown out of that game.
387
00:17:16,057 --> 00:17:19,909
Strangely enough, Mitel, who we also all
saw on TV
388
00:17:17,950 --> 00:17:19,425
Yeah, Mitel didn't get
389
00:17:19,909 --> 00:17:23,109
give him the at least the heel of his hand
into the crotch,
390
00:17:23,109 --> 00:17:25,200
never got any discipline.
391
00:17:25,886 --> 00:17:27,463
Mmm, star receiver.
392
00:17:26,665 --> 00:17:27,665
Intentional.
393
00:17:27,463 --> 00:17:30,606
Unintentional star receiver. Mmm.
394
00:17:30,525 --> 00:17:31,525
Yeah.
395
00:17:31,379 --> 00:17:32,379
But I got
396
00:17:31,594 --> 00:17:32,594
Yeah.
397
00:17:31,959 --> 00:17:33,580
curious because I like I mean,
398
00:17:33,580 --> 00:17:38,192
I know we hear about fines and I just
assumed I don't even know what I assumed,
399
00:17:38,192 --> 00:17:41,173
~ how much that would be. So I got really
curious.
400
00:17:41,173 --> 00:17:42,734
I'm like, well, how much is a fine?
401
00:17:42,734 --> 00:17:47,166
And you don't really know because it all
comes down to what that player makes
402
00:17:47,166 --> 00:17:50,497
and it comes down to maximum is half the
value of a game check,
403
00:17:50,497 --> 00:17:52,278
which I'm sure maybe you guys already
knew.
404
00:17:52,278 --> 00:17:54,629
But I was like, that is interesting.
405
00:17:54,629 --> 00:17:56,840
So if you are suspended and fined,
406
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:57,840
like
407
00:17:58,192 --> 00:18:00,755
That's a lot of money that you're losing
out on.
408
00:18:00,528 --> 00:18:01,950
Yeah. Yeah.
409
00:18:00,755 --> 00:18:02,228
So good on the CFL
410
00:18:02,228 --> 00:18:03,228
for that.
411
00:18:03,452 --> 00:18:07,278
bets could potentially have been fined
with two of them a full game check.
412
00:18:07,278 --> 00:18:09,340
So you never know.
413
00:18:07,333 --> 00:18:08,991
Yeah. Yeah.
414
00:18:09,340 --> 00:18:10,340
Rewatching
415
00:18:09,925 --> 00:18:13,768
this tape continuously? Like why wouldn't
you do that the first time?
416
00:18:14,203 --> 00:18:15,203
I don't know.
417
00:18:15,530 --> 00:18:19,284
That doesn't make any sense. Yeah,
418
00:18:15,827 --> 00:18:18,330
Like like who made a complaint?
419
00:18:18,330 --> 00:18:21,515
Like the player, coach, safety?
420
00:18:19,284 --> 00:18:21,546
did that like did the aloettes
421
00:18:21,546 --> 00:18:23,137
lodge a complaint and be like,
422
00:18:23,137 --> 00:18:25,820
here, look, like you need to check this
again.
423
00:18:25,820 --> 00:18:29,904
Is there a time limit, a time frame when
when you could issue fines for games?
424
00:18:29,904 --> 00:18:33,808
It's a bit weird.
425
00:18:30,866 --> 00:18:32,034
Yeah, that's a bit weird.
426
00:18:31,221 --> 00:18:33,583
Yes. I
427
00:18:34,301 --> 00:18:38,834
d I do hope these are rhetorical questions
and you're not looking to me for answers.
428
00:18:38,834 --> 00:18:39,834
If if we
429
00:18:39,060 --> 00:18:40,060
Yeah.
430
00:18:39,489 --> 00:18:41,440
rewind back to my original opening,
431
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,574
I did say completely clueless because
that's how I feel this week.
432
00:18:45,574 --> 00:18:47,466
I don't understand any of this.
433
00:18:45,716 --> 00:18:47,541
I just
434
00:18:47,474 --> 00:18:48,474
Yeah.
435
00:18:47,541 --> 00:18:48,541
I wish
436
00:18:47,882 --> 00:18:51,772
there was some transparency about things
like this.
437
00:18:53,004 --> 00:18:56,441
It yeah, it would be nice to get something
other than just a statement,
438
00:18:56,441 --> 00:19:00,459
but but there it is. And hey, at least the
fines happened,
439
00:19:00,459 --> 00:19:02,583
which I think in general
440
00:19:01,792 --> 00:19:02,792
Yeah.
441
00:19:02,764 --> 00:19:04,928
they look like they were all warranted to
me.
442
00:19:03,904 --> 00:19:04,904
Maybe
443
00:19:05,007 --> 00:19:08,073
Betts' D guys will all chip in and help
him out.
444
00:19:08,073 --> 00:19:12,814
Everyone put ten bucks in,
445
00:19:08,662 --> 00:19:13,795
Yeah. Yeah, who knows? I yeah,
446
00:19:12,814 --> 00:19:13,814
come on.
447
00:19:13,795 --> 00:19:14,795
yes.
448
00:19:15,317 --> 00:19:16,783
Buy him dinner a few nights.
449
00:19:15,576 --> 00:19:16,576
Sorry, I'm gonna I
450
00:19:16,796 --> 00:19:17,796
I I I'm gonna
451
00:19:17,323 --> 00:19:18,323
Yeah.
452
00:19:17,707 --> 00:19:21,960
do I'm gonna do a one more negative thing
here.
453
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,937
Hopefully it's the last one But I gotta
point out with this whole brawl thing
454
00:19:26,037 --> 00:19:30,249
and the ~ and the lions and the background
that went on with it,
455
00:19:30,249 --> 00:19:35,392
let's remember that they were the team
which full credit to them
456
00:19:36,524 --> 00:19:40,527
They were the team that made a whole
public service campaign about don't stand
by.
457
00:19:40,527 --> 00:19:41,718
Don't
458
00:19:41,217 --> 00:19:42,217
Yeah.
459
00:19:41,718 --> 00:19:44,481
just see that stuff happening and and let
it go.
460
00:19:44,481 --> 00:19:49,115
Speak up, say something. And I've heard
not a single lion
461
00:19:49,795 --> 00:19:52,598
say anything about what happened with
Haggerty.
462
00:19:52,598 --> 00:19:55,360
So where's your speak up?
463
00:19:56,110 --> 00:19:59,162
Yeah. Attendance. Okay,
464
00:19:59,162 --> 00:20:02,938
I told you, I'm sorry, we're gonna lose
all any fans we've we've developed,
465
00:20:02,192 --> 00:20:03,192
It's been a tough week.
466
00:20:02,938 --> 00:20:03,938
we're gonna
467
00:20:03,231 --> 00:20:04,231
lose
468
00:20:03,542 --> 00:20:05,944
with this negative attitude. But I think
it's justified
469
00:20:04,295 --> 00:20:05,489
Been a tough week.
470
00:20:05,944 --> 00:20:06,944
this week. There's
471
00:20:07,023 --> 00:20:11,106
not good stuff to start with. Attendance
was average.
472
00:20:11,106 --> 00:20:14,338
Average. We averaged a shade over twenty
three.
473
00:20:14,338 --> 00:20:16,820
Twenty three thousand and eleven was the
average for the week.
474
00:20:17,547 --> 00:20:19,808
Winnipeg had thirty-two and it went down
from there.
475
00:20:19,808 --> 00:20:23,959
I was disappointed to B C only had
twenty-four with the riders in town,
476
00:20:23,959 --> 00:20:24,959
because that's
477
00:20:24,483 --> 00:20:25,483
Yeah.
478
00:20:24,909 --> 00:20:27,390
usually a draw and I would have thought
higher.
479
00:20:27,390 --> 00:20:32,342
Edmonton was twenty and they've been
building better,
480
00:20:32,342 --> 00:20:33,633
so that's a little disappointing.
481
00:20:33,633 --> 00:20:36,964
And Ottawa actually had fifteen and a half
thousand out,
482
00:20:36,964 --> 00:20:39,975
which for them is high. So maybe their
fans actually thought we can do
483
00:20:39,975 --> 00:20:43,326
it this week and they did. Yeah,
484
00:20:41,314 --> 00:20:42,314
We all did.
485
00:20:42,549 --> 00:20:43,549
We all did.
486
00:20:43,326 --> 00:20:44,467
we all did. Yes, we
487
00:20:44,467 --> 00:20:45,467
had
488
00:20:45,133 --> 00:20:47,503
We had a few comments on our picks and
whatnot.
489
00:20:47,503 --> 00:20:49,141
Awful lot of red blacks in there,
490
00:20:49,141 --> 00:20:50,141
I'm seeing.
491
00:20:49,494 --> 00:20:50,494
Okay.
492
00:20:51,057 --> 00:20:53,583
Yeah. Yes.
493
00:20:51,527 --> 00:20:53,693
It wasn't just us, like ever every
494
00:20:53,693 --> 00:20:55,026
podcast I listened to was like,
495
00:20:55,026 --> 00:20:59,979
it's the Red Blacks Week. We all were
believing.
496
00:20:56,995 --> 00:21:00,605
Yes, yes I know. And also well
497
00:20:57,761 --> 00:20:58,761
~
498
00:21:00,728 --> 00:21:05,261
your power rankings, we had we had
somebody I think you said you went
499
00:21:05,261 --> 00:21:09,735
on at one point and posted out an apology
for ~ misspelling blue bombers
500
00:21:09,735 --> 00:21:14,329
and we had someone on Reddit complaining
about that and the fact that apparently
501
00:21:14,329 --> 00:21:16,681
you got the capitals wrong in red blacks
too.
502
00:21:16,681 --> 00:21:18,202
There should have been a Yeah.
503
00:21:18,202 --> 00:21:21,565
I know,
504
00:21:18,554 --> 00:21:20,527
All caps. They don't deserve it.
505
00:21:20,527 --> 00:21:25,384
You're slowly sliding off the board
506
00:21:21,565 --> 00:21:22,586
but hey
507
00:21:25,384 --> 00:21:29,199
actually. I might put Quebec City at nine.
508
00:21:25,604 --> 00:21:28,665
Yeah. People are finding stuff to complain
about.
509
00:21:28,665 --> 00:21:29,925
Yeah.
510
00:21:29,925 --> 00:21:33,206
Yes. Yes.
511
00:21:33,206 --> 00:21:34,906
Alrighty. what else do we have?
512
00:21:34,906 --> 00:21:38,027
Okay. player transactions. There's a bunch
of them.
513
00:21:38,027 --> 00:21:40,978
Are they significant or not? I don't know.
514
00:21:40,978 --> 00:21:43,219
the stamps have brought back Sean Bain
Junior,
515
00:21:43,219 --> 00:21:46,700
who played for them two or three years ago
and then had a half
516
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:48,875
a season in Saskatchewan before getting
hurt
517
00:21:48,941 --> 00:21:49,941
and
518
00:21:50,153 --> 00:21:52,059
Came back the following season with the
Riders,
519
00:21:52,059 --> 00:21:53,383
didn't do much this last year.
520
00:21:53,383 --> 00:21:56,001
He was playing in Europe. So he's back
with
521
00:21:55,570 --> 00:21:56,570
For the
522
00:21:56,001 --> 00:21:57,001
the stamps.
523
00:21:56,734 --> 00:21:59,873
for the Paris lights. That sounds fun.
524
00:21:59,229 --> 00:22:02,406
Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
525
00:21:59,797 --> 00:22:02,304
Dean Faithful. Dean Faithful
526
00:21:59,873 --> 00:22:01,959
Yeah.
527
00:22:02,304 --> 00:22:04,331
was also playing for the Paris Lights.
528
00:22:04,131 --> 00:22:05,985
Yeah. It's a like a CFL
529
00:22:05,985 --> 00:22:07,097
reunion over there.
530
00:22:08,112 --> 00:22:11,720
Yeah, but I'm wondering is this because
Bagleton is gone?
531
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,459
are they trying to fill yeah. That's too
bad.
532
00:22:11,861 --> 00:22:17,838
I'm thinking maybe. Yeah. But ~ mind you
they have a lot of receivers on that
533
00:22:14,676 --> 00:22:15,676
Yeah.
534
00:22:17,547 --> 00:22:18,547
They have
535
00:22:17,838 --> 00:22:18,899
team and they just keep
536
00:22:18,078 --> 00:22:19,078
so many they
537
00:22:18,959 --> 00:22:21,814
didn't even throw to Alfred on the
weekend,
538
00:22:21,514 --> 00:22:25,148
No. Yeah.
539
00:22:21,814 --> 00:22:23,717
ask me how I know. Like
540
00:22:25,683 --> 00:22:26,683
Yeah.
541
00:22:26,009 --> 00:22:27,009
You
542
00:22:26,250 --> 00:22:28,412
might have been notified a few times.
543
00:22:28,412 --> 00:22:29,713
Every time they didn't.
544
00:22:28,530 --> 00:22:30,250
I was deaf I was notified.
545
00:22:31,773 --> 00:22:35,211
Yeah. So I'm just curious of all the
things that
546
00:22:33,178 --> 00:22:34,178
Okay.
547
00:22:35,211 --> 00:22:39,859
they could pick up in around trade time
that they went for another receiver.
548
00:22:39,859 --> 00:22:40,923
So yeah.
549
00:22:40,813 --> 00:22:41,813
Mm.
550
00:22:41,556 --> 00:22:44,145
Maybe someone's a little more injured than
they're letting on.
551
00:22:44,451 --> 00:22:45,451
Maybe.
552
00:22:44,761 --> 00:22:48,024
possible, but like I said, they do have a
pretty good crew.
553
00:22:48,024 --> 00:22:50,216
I don't think that's where their issue is.
554
00:22:50,216 --> 00:22:53,278
Zach got put back on the six game lists,
555
00:22:53,278 --> 00:22:55,310
so is he done for the season? We don't
know.
556
00:22:55,310 --> 00:22:56,311
He may come off of it.
557
00:22:57,347 --> 00:22:59,634
He should have just gone to Travis and
Taylor's wedding.
558
00:22:59,854 --> 00:23:01,304
~ yeah, right?
559
00:23:00,151 --> 00:23:01,192
Yep. Yeah.
560
00:23:01,633 --> 00:23:05,496
Yeah. Probably would've would have given
the Yeah,
561
00:23:01,933 --> 00:23:05,260
Like look at what's happened. Look the
look at the karma that's happened since
562
00:23:05,260 --> 00:23:07,153
you didn't not go to that wedding.
563
00:23:05,496 --> 00:23:07,331
exactly. It would've been a
564
00:23:07,331 --> 00:23:09,272
would have been a good luck term for him,
565
00:23:09,272 --> 00:23:11,925
yes. All right, what else?
566
00:23:11,129 --> 00:23:12,129
I dunno. I feel like he's
567
00:23:12,090 --> 00:23:15,354
gonna pop off that six game pretty fast if
Drew has a bad game,
568
00:23:15,354 --> 00:23:19,128
right? Like, I don't know. I don't I don't
trust my cochet.
569
00:23:17,273 --> 00:23:20,365
Yes. Or a half of a bad game or
570
00:23:19,128 --> 00:23:20,979
Yeah.
571
00:23:21,346 --> 00:23:25,510
yeah. Deontay Williams was extended by the
Lions.
572
00:23:25,510 --> 00:23:27,671
So he's traveled around a bit,
573
00:23:27,671 --> 00:23:29,483
but they're obviously happy with what he's
doing.
574
00:23:29,483 --> 00:23:32,826
Farhan Louji there last I saw this was
just a report,
575
00:23:32,826 --> 00:23:37,299
wasn't confirmed, but he was saying that
the Aloettes have brought back Dylan
Wynne.
576
00:23:37,299 --> 00:23:39,661
the red black cut Adrian Fry, who's
577
00:23:38,669 --> 00:23:39,669
Former Thai cat.
578
00:23:40,056 --> 00:23:41,353
Former Ty Cat
579
00:23:40,622 --> 00:23:41,622
Yes
580
00:23:41,177 --> 00:23:43,018
Former Tycat, former Argonaut,
581
00:23:41,555 --> 00:23:42,555
Dylan Wynne.
582
00:23:43,018 --> 00:23:44,979
former Arg
583
00:23:44,441 --> 00:23:45,441
Ha ha
584
00:23:44,979 --> 00:23:46,939
or Aloet. Was he with the Red Blacks?
585
00:23:46,939 --> 00:23:48,470
Yes, he was, because they cut him this
year,
586
00:23:47,809 --> 00:23:50,674
Yeah, yeah. He was in camp. Yeah.
587
00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:51,691
so Yeah, yeah. Yes.
588
00:23:48,844 --> 00:23:50,763
He was on our practice roster.
589
00:23:50,674 --> 00:23:51,696
Yeah.
590
00:23:52,632 --> 00:23:57,534
I ex exactly. So Dylan Wynn. All East
defensive tackle.
591
00:23:55,918 --> 00:23:59,159
Still and win. Yeah, I'm
592
00:23:57,534 --> 00:23:59,555
Not as an award or anything.
593
00:23:59,555 --> 00:24:02,256
He's just played all over the entire
Easter division.
594
00:24:00,951 --> 00:24:01,951
What?
595
00:24:02,696 --> 00:24:04,077
He may have won an award. I don't know.
596
00:24:04,077 --> 00:24:05,257
He might have been an all star.
597
00:24:05,257 --> 00:24:07,568
What else? Ottawa cut Adrian Fry,
598
00:24:07,568 --> 00:24:08,989
he started I don't know.
599
00:24:09,876 --> 00:24:12,998
four to six games this year with them in
the defensive backfield.
600
00:24:12,998 --> 00:24:19,062
And Hamilton traded Julian Hauser to the
Aloettes for a yeah,
601
00:24:16,250 --> 00:24:18,381
Mm. Wow wah wah.
602
00:24:18,817 --> 00:24:21,159
Tie cats are sellers at the deadline.
603
00:24:19,062 --> 00:24:21,754
seventh round. Yes
604
00:24:21,754 --> 00:24:28,019
they are. They ~ sent Hauser and a seventh
round pick to Montreal for a fifth
605
00:24:27,808 --> 00:24:28,808
Fifth.
606
00:24:28,019 --> 00:24:29,019
round
607
00:24:28,289 --> 00:24:31,492
pick in next year's drafted. It's almost
like giving it away.
608
00:24:31,492 --> 00:24:34,193
I don't know if it's shedding cap money or
what they're doing.
609
00:24:34,656 --> 00:24:35,656
What?
610
00:24:35,395 --> 00:24:36,395
Yeah.
611
00:24:35,924 --> 00:24:36,924
I'm wondering
612
00:24:36,385 --> 00:24:38,380
what else is going on because well I mean,
613
00:24:38,380 --> 00:24:42,350
Als are smart to pick up. For whatever
reason the Ti cats made that deal.
614
00:24:42,350 --> 00:24:43,754
good on the Alouettes.
615
00:24:42,848 --> 00:24:43,848
know his
616
00:24:43,968 --> 00:24:45,543
I know his contract coming up,
617
00:24:45,543 --> 00:24:49,440
but you don't give up a player and a draft
pick for a draft pick?
618
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,443
fifth and seventh? Come on.
619
00:24:51,523 --> 00:24:52,523
And so now
620
00:24:52,114 --> 00:24:54,646
he's got something to prove. Good luck to
you,
621
00:24:54,646 --> 00:24:56,818
Hamilton. I don't think they're playing
again,
622
00:24:55,310 --> 00:25:01,599
I hope he no, but I hope he goes on a tear
just to like yes.
623
00:24:56,818 --> 00:25:00,731
but Yeah, I hope so too.
624
00:25:00,731 --> 00:25:04,044
All the best to you,
625
00:25:01,636 --> 00:25:04,879
Yeah. Well, Montreal's d definitely
626
00:25:04,044 --> 00:25:05,044
Hauser.
627
00:25:04,858 --> 00:25:06,032
best to you, Julian.
628
00:25:04,879 --> 00:25:06,681
beefing Yes.
629
00:25:07,502 --> 00:25:11,017
The Als are definitely beefing up that D
line for a playoff
630
00:25:11,017 --> 00:25:12,017
run.
631
00:25:11,431 --> 00:25:12,431
Yeah.
632
00:25:13,306 --> 00:25:14,306
Alrighty.
633
00:25:14,523 --> 00:25:18,625
I was thinking about it with the Elk in
this last two or three weeks.
634
00:25:18,625 --> 00:25:22,486
They brought on this Shanderek Powell
who's w as a returner and a running back
635
00:25:22,486 --> 00:25:24,837
for them, who's looked fantastic,
636
00:25:24,837 --> 00:25:25,837
and then they brought
637
00:25:25,256 --> 00:25:26,256
Yeah.
638
00:25:25,647 --> 00:25:28,507
in Washington, I can't remember his first
name as a returner,
639
00:25:28,507 --> 00:25:30,878
and he looked fantastic and I started
thinking to myself,
640
00:25:30,878 --> 00:25:32,519
where do they keep finding guys this good?
641
00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:34,019
And then I realized that yeah,
642
00:25:34,019 --> 00:25:35,090
they're good, they really are.
643
00:25:35,090 --> 00:25:36,500
But they also haven't played.
644
00:25:37,246 --> 00:25:39,794
Sixteen games of football. They're gonna
645
00:25:39,104 --> 00:25:40,104
Yeah.
646
00:25:39,794 --> 00:25:44,187
be a little bit faster and bouncier than
everybody else out there for a few games.
647
00:25:44,765 --> 00:25:45,765
Also,
648
00:25:44,818 --> 00:25:45,818
Yeah.
649
00:25:45,326 --> 00:25:48,381
I mean we didn't talk much about the
Ti-cats missing the playoffs,
650
00:25:48,381 --> 00:25:52,927
but I was thinking today how Ed Hervey
keeps pulling these guys out of a hat,
651
00:25:52,927 --> 00:25:55,032
but he didn't do it in Hamilton.
652
00:25:56,003 --> 00:26:01,008
It makes me wonder what has going on in
that front office in Hamilton that they
653
00:26:01,008 --> 00:26:03,770
could not 'cause they were not good when
Ed was there.
654
00:26:03,770 --> 00:26:08,443
so ~ maybe I'm hoping they get blown out
by the red blacks back to back
655
00:26:08,443 --> 00:26:11,356
and this f forces them to clean house in
the front office.
656
00:26:11,356 --> 00:26:17,371
And maybe maybe you know, GMing by
committee is not like the what
657
00:26:17,371 --> 00:26:18,371
you thought it would be.
658
00:26:19,172 --> 00:26:21,913
There there is that. I mean I
659
00:26:21,165 --> 00:26:22,165
And then
660
00:26:21,913 --> 00:26:24,494
don't know how long they've been GMing by
committee,
661
00:26:24,494 --> 00:26:31,317
but I feel fairly safe in saying that they
probably have not won a Grey Cups while
662
00:26:31,317 --> 00:26:35,378
they've been doing it. Because unless it
goes back what are we talking now,
663
00:26:35,378 --> 00:26:38,160
thirty seven years or something
664
00:26:37,763 --> 00:26:38,763
Mm-hmm.
665
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,761
like that. When did they win it last?
666
00:26:39,761 --> 00:26:41,641
ninety
667
00:26:40,227 --> 00:26:41,227
Ninety nine.
668
00:26:41,641 --> 00:26:44,313
nine, so twenties so coming up twenty six
years,
669
00:26:44,313 --> 00:26:45,313
twenty seven years.
670
00:26:45,795 --> 00:26:48,860
I don't think they've been GMing by
committee for twenty seven years,
671
00:26:48,860 --> 00:26:52,004
but now cause or effect, I don't know.
672
00:26:52,004 --> 00:26:53,727
Correlation or causative who knows?
673
00:26:54,254 --> 00:26:57,256
Yeah. But I just think, yeah,
674
00:26:57,256 --> 00:27:01,939
like who's I don't know, Calgary got rid
of Huffnagel and I know that
675
00:27:01,939 --> 00:27:05,640
he did a really good job ~ scouting I
don't really know much about other team
676
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,572
scouts, but whoever doing it for Hamilton.
677
00:27:08,572 --> 00:27:13,045
Yeah, you just wonder it's not just like
who we see,
678
00:27:13,045 --> 00:27:16,528
who they bring with them and what they're
building and clearly
679
00:27:16,265 --> 00:27:17,265
That's
680
00:27:16,535 --> 00:27:21,028
why I wanted Denny McManus to go to
Hamilton because like look at Singer.
681
00:27:19,740 --> 00:27:25,715
Yeah. Yes. He is has such great games.
682
00:27:21,028 --> 00:27:25,972
Like we don't who are they putting onto
the field
683
00:27:25,972 --> 00:27:28,744
in Hamilton nobody. No one.
684
00:27:29,494 --> 00:27:30,494
Yeah.
685
00:27:30,347 --> 00:27:31,347
Anyway.
686
00:27:31,284 --> 00:27:34,076
Another sad and disappointing season.
687
00:27:34,076 --> 00:27:36,517
Next,
688
00:27:34,805 --> 00:27:35,805
Next year.
689
00:27:35,363 --> 00:27:36,363
Right.
690
00:27:36,517 --> 00:27:39,279
there's always next year, where they again
will have
691
00:27:38,732 --> 00:27:39,732
Yeah.
692
00:27:39,279 --> 00:27:43,081
Bo with no adequate backup that Scott
Milanovich likes.
693
00:27:43,081 --> 00:27:45,112
And when Bo gets injured, again,
694
00:27:45,112 --> 00:27:50,104
because he's older, it'll all crumble
again and we will have learned no lessons.
695
00:27:50,104 --> 00:27:53,897
you're right. My god,
696
00:27:50,184 --> 00:27:52,012
We've got Frosty the throw man.
697
00:27:52,012 --> 00:27:53,217
What are you talking about?
698
00:27:52,803 --> 00:27:54,908
There we go. ~ God, yes.
699
00:27:53,897 --> 00:27:56,738
I'm sorry. You're right! What
700
00:27:56,738 --> 00:27:57,738
was I thinking?
701
00:27:58,497 --> 00:27:59,497
~
702
00:27:58,692 --> 00:28:00,435
the Tie Cats are partnering with Porter.
703
00:28:00,435 --> 00:28:03,450
You can go on a beach vacation with the
Tie Cats in November.
704
00:28:04,071 --> 00:28:05,071
Well.
705
00:28:04,732 --> 00:28:06,775
And some of the alumni and staff and I was
like,
706
00:28:06,775 --> 00:28:11,982
will they be open to ask answering
questions about what happened this season?
707
00:28:10,121 --> 00:28:12,535
maybe CFL
708
00:28:10,140 --> 00:28:11,140
Yeah.
709
00:28:12,535 --> 00:28:15,341
outsiders go to the to go to Cabo.
710
00:28:15,919 --> 00:28:17,928
Yeah. ~
711
00:28:17,619 --> 00:28:18,619
You can play
712
00:28:18,062 --> 00:28:20,075
beach flag football with the players.
713
00:28:20,242 --> 00:28:21,242
There we
714
00:28:20,495 --> 00:28:21,495
~
715
00:28:20,669 --> 00:28:21,669
go.
716
00:28:20,785 --> 00:28:21,785
yes,
717
00:28:21,396 --> 00:28:24,750
yeah. Will Scott be there? Will he answer
questions?
718
00:28:24,750 --> 00:28:28,994
I like that, yes. ~ I tell ya what we
719
00:28:25,077 --> 00:28:28,164
Yes, will Scott be there and will he
answer questions?
720
00:28:28,994 --> 00:28:32,047
are we are in a collective mood tonight.
721
00:28:32,047 --> 00:28:33,047
This
722
00:28:32,330 --> 00:28:33,330
Yeah.
723
00:28:32,918 --> 00:28:33,918
is really s
724
00:28:32,951 --> 00:28:35,595
I feel like we are justified with w how
725
00:28:35,615 --> 00:28:37,157
our team has been playing though,
726
00:28:37,157 --> 00:28:38,198
to be fair.
727
00:28:37,685 --> 00:28:38,685
Well there's that
728
00:28:38,666 --> 00:28:43,418
too, but but lots of stuff. Th this is not
the sunshine,
729
00:28:43,418 --> 00:28:46,820
rainbows and unicorn farts podcast right
now.
730
00:28:46,820 --> 00:28:50,722
This is kind of the grumpy folks talk
football.
731
00:28:47,361 --> 00:28:49,705
I feel like it's been a heavy week.
732
00:28:49,705 --> 00:28:51,769
Yeah.
733
00:28:52,519 --> 00:28:55,804
Let's get into the games. See if we can
find anything to be grumpy about there.
734
00:28:55,804 --> 00:28:58,047
and by the way, that was not a criticism
of anybody.
735
00:28:58,047 --> 00:28:59,911
I'm as grumpy as the rest of you tonight.
736
00:28:58,938 --> 00:29:01,833
It's like, huh, hmm Noted.
737
00:28:59,911 --> 00:29:03,025
It's just it's a bad week for stuff that's
been happening.
738
00:29:03,204 --> 00:29:04,204
But even
739
00:29:04,015 --> 00:29:07,056
all of the the n like news and how people
have been writing,
740
00:29:07,056 --> 00:29:11,139
like I feel like the Quebec City thing
wasn't as big 'cause everyone's just kind
of
741
00:29:10,382 --> 00:29:12,385
Yeah. Yeah.
742
00:29:13,020 --> 00:29:14,141
it's been a weird week.
743
00:29:13,051 --> 00:29:14,220
I feel like collectively
744
00:29:14,220 --> 00:29:15,589
it's been a weird week.
745
00:29:16,969 --> 00:29:19,240
the vibe is off. Hopefully
746
00:29:18,506 --> 00:29:19,506
Yeah.
747
00:29:18,614 --> 00:29:19,614
Yeah.
748
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,578
it gets better. I mean even the games on
the weekend,
749
00:29:21,578 --> 00:29:25,721
the vibe was there was just weird stuff
happening.
750
00:29:25,721 --> 00:29:27,823
we'll start talking about that.
751
00:29:27,823 --> 00:29:31,526
Toronto goes into Winnipeg and comes out
with a thirty twenty eight win.
752
00:29:31,526 --> 00:29:36,189
And a positive thing. The first
753
00:29:36,533 --> 00:29:39,485
Penalty that was announced was announced
in an indigenous language.
754
00:29:39,485 --> 00:29:41,587
I'm guessing Cree, but I don't speak it,
755
00:29:41,587 --> 00:29:42,727
so I don't know for sure,
756
00:29:42,300 --> 00:29:43,300
So
757
00:29:42,727 --> 00:29:44,579
but given where the game was, that was it.
758
00:29:44,579 --> 00:29:49,503
And Ben Major is incredible.
759
00:29:45,094 --> 00:29:50,243
Yeah, that was in my note. Stand up guy.
760
00:29:45,147 --> 00:29:49,232
Love Ben Major. Ben Major, what a he's a
treasure.
761
00:29:49,232 --> 00:29:51,357
Yeah.
762
00:29:49,503 --> 00:29:51,464
He yes. He just
763
00:29:51,704 --> 00:29:55,997
he's a an excellent referee, excellent at
explaining what's going on,
764
00:29:55,997 --> 00:29:58,799
and yeah, just picks up the the language
stuff and everything.
765
00:29:58,799 --> 00:30:03,072
I love it. But again, this is
766
00:30:03,466 --> 00:30:05,537
Not the first time we've seen this happen.
767
00:30:05,537 --> 00:30:11,943
Brady rushed for sixteen times for a
hundred and two yards in the first half.
768
00:30:11,943 --> 00:30:13,164
In the
769
00:30:12,843 --> 00:30:13,843
Yeah.
770
00:30:13,164 --> 00:30:15,375
second half, he got thirty seven yards
rushing,
771
00:30:15,375 --> 00:30:17,527
which is better than usual, on four
carries.
772
00:30:17,527 --> 00:30:20,830
So he was still averaging almost ten yards
a carry,
773
00:30:20,830 --> 00:30:23,902
but he got four of them and they lost.
774
00:30:24,662 --> 00:30:27,484
I know you don't always win by following
traditional strategy.
775
00:30:27,484 --> 00:30:31,437
But if you're a running team, the idea is
you run in the first half enough
776
00:30:31,437 --> 00:30:33,068
to get a lead and to wear them down,
777
00:30:33,068 --> 00:30:35,690
and then you crush them with your running
in the second half.
778
00:30:35,690 --> 00:30:38,171
Whereas Condell seems to have this
strategy up,
779
00:30:38,171 --> 00:30:41,754
I'm gonna run Brady continuously for the
first quarter and a third,
780
00:30:41,754 --> 00:30:44,906
and then we'll go passing the ball,
781
00:30:44,906 --> 00:30:48,488
'cause that's better. And they blew
another big lead on it.
782
00:30:48,811 --> 00:30:51,956
They did take ~ eight penalties for ninety
two yards.
783
00:30:51,956 --> 00:30:54,580
They missed a couple of field goals,
784
00:30:54,580 --> 00:30:55,580
Toronto
785
00:30:55,010 --> 00:30:56,491
returned one for a field goal,
786
00:30:56,269 --> 00:30:59,023
Julian yeah, Janarian Grant. Yeah,
787
00:30:56,491 --> 00:30:59,344
right? Julius Grant, dictionary grant.
788
00:30:57,287 --> 00:30:58,287
Yes.
789
00:30:59,023 --> 00:31:00,023
that boring,
790
00:30:59,844 --> 00:31:03,990
boring field goal return for touchdown
that nobody wants.
791
00:31:01,423 --> 00:31:06,175
Yes. Yes. Yeah.
792
00:31:03,990 --> 00:31:06,804
So boring. Changed the channel.
793
00:31:06,175 --> 00:31:09,937
~ I know. I it drove
794
00:31:06,804 --> 00:31:08,347
Couldn't stand it. Like
795
00:31:09,201 --> 00:31:10,201
So five.
796
00:31:09,937 --> 00:31:13,369
me crazy. I was gonna talk about it in the
next game,
797
00:31:13,369 --> 00:31:15,260
but I'll I'll say it here now.
798
00:31:15,260 --> 00:31:21,433
In the Saskatchewan B C game,
Saskatchewan's first touchdown attempt
pass goes
799
00:31:21,433 --> 00:31:24,305
off the s the uprights. And
800
00:31:24,879 --> 00:31:29,083
Suter and Smith are all well at least that
won't be happening next year.
801
00:31:29,083 --> 00:31:31,665
Well maybe we shouldn't talk about it
because it'll annoy people.
802
00:31:31,665 --> 00:31:33,376
But that won't be happening next year.
803
00:31:33,376 --> 00:31:35,528
that is at least we don't have yeah,
804
00:31:35,528 --> 00:31:37,159
you know what else won't be happening next
year?
805
00:31:37,159 --> 00:31:39,261
Two things. First of all, less important,
806
00:31:39,261 --> 00:31:41,683
the part of the end zone that Harris was
throwing to,
807
00:31:41,683 --> 00:31:44,865
because he was throwing to the back five
yards of it that are gone.
808
00:31:44,865 --> 00:31:47,888
And the other thing that won't be there
next year is Julian Grant
809
00:31:47,908 --> 00:31:49,740
and other returners doing that stuff.
810
00:31:49,740 --> 00:31:51,311
So yeah.
811
00:31:50,946 --> 00:31:51,946
Yeah.
812
00:31:52,692 --> 00:31:53,773
All in all a loss.
813
00:31:52,793 --> 00:31:54,435
Dusty was commentating
814
00:31:54,534 --> 00:31:56,578
that field goal return for touchdown,
815
00:31:56,578 --> 00:31:59,541
and I would just like Dusty to commentate
things in my life.
816
00:31:59,541 --> 00:32:01,393
Like you finished
817
00:31:59,734 --> 00:32:00,734
Yes.
818
00:32:00,318 --> 00:32:01,318
Yeah.
819
00:32:01,393 --> 00:32:03,648
the dishes. Are you kidding me?
820
00:32:02,906 --> 00:32:05,522
Yes. Yeah. Yes. Are you kidding me?
821
00:32:03,598 --> 00:32:04,598
Yeah.
822
00:32:03,648 --> 00:32:07,822
Look at her, she did it! Like you got to
work on time,
823
00:32:05,522 --> 00:32:12,014
Yes. ~
824
00:32:07,822 --> 00:32:08,822
like yeah!
825
00:32:10,054 --> 00:32:11,054
Believeable!
826
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:12,524
Are you kidding me?
827
00:32:13,274 --> 00:32:14,946
Just, you know, like your personal hype,
828
00:32:14,946 --> 00:32:18,200
man. It'd be great. he announced
829
00:32:15,904 --> 00:32:18,067
It would be fabulous. I would love it.
830
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,956
today that he's gonna be doing twenty
Ottawa Senator games for TSN this coming
year.
831
00:32:22,456 --> 00:32:26,732
~ he's a good on air talent. I don't watch
or or
832
00:32:22,956 --> 00:32:26,018
so I'm really happy for him.
833
00:32:22,976 --> 00:32:25,053
Congratulations. is.
834
00:32:26,732 --> 00:32:30,789
listen to hockey, but I'm glad that the
people that do will be getting
835
00:32:30,789 --> 00:32:32,051
him 'cause he's very good.
836
00:32:32,873 --> 00:32:36,637
Yeah. Yeah. My other
837
00:32:34,331 --> 00:32:36,463
Yes. ~
838
00:32:36,637 --> 00:32:40,610
favorite part of this game, did you see
Pickett do a backflip?
839
00:32:40,610 --> 00:32:42,552
And I mean we can talk about other stuff,
840
00:32:42,552 --> 00:32:44,514
but Pickett did a backflip.
841
00:32:43,180 --> 00:32:44,180
I missed that.
842
00:32:45,656 --> 00:32:47,617
Yeah, I forget who he tackled.
843
00:32:47,617 --> 00:32:52,101
I got too excited about the backflip to to
know when it happened.
844
00:32:52,101 --> 00:32:54,864
~ but it happened in the second half of
the game.
845
00:32:55,614 --> 00:32:58,085
Okay, you've got like your team fired up.
846
00:32:58,085 --> 00:33:00,396
Like the Argos, meh first half,
847
00:33:00,396 --> 00:33:04,038
meh, but second half they dominated to the
point where you've
848
00:33:04,038 --> 00:33:08,200
got players doing backflips. I we didn't
see any Brady head slapping,
849
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,781
but we got the the picket
850
00:33:09,001 --> 00:33:10,001
But we have
851
00:33:09,781 --> 00:33:13,143
backflip and I thought, ~ the Argos are
they're on fire.
852
00:33:13,143 --> 00:33:14,964
Like they once they started
853
00:33:13,779 --> 00:33:14,779
Yeah.
854
00:33:13,843 --> 00:33:14,843
Yes.
855
00:33:15,164 --> 00:33:19,686
once they started, ~ that second half was
they were unbeatable.
856
00:33:18,921 --> 00:33:19,921
Well and
857
00:33:19,262 --> 00:33:20,262
Yes.
858
00:33:19,972 --> 00:33:25,886
Julian Grant threw a pass to Unberger on
the punt on
859
00:33:22,934 --> 00:33:24,633
Yes. The Memphis miracle.
860
00:33:25,886 --> 00:33:30,908
the punt return for like not just like a
short pass like he threw
861
00:33:30,908 --> 00:33:35,900
it across the field. Was amazing.
862
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,153
Yes. Yes. Sorry, no, Music City Miracle.
863
00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:38,012
I
864
00:33:36,153 --> 00:33:38,262
That was what it was called when Tennessee
did it.
865
00:33:38,262 --> 00:33:39,262
Yeah.
866
00:33:39,112 --> 00:33:42,363
my goodness, it I that was an amazing
play.
867
00:33:42,647 --> 00:33:43,647
Yes.
868
00:33:43,553 --> 00:33:44,553
So
869
00:33:43,683 --> 00:33:46,879
I know we keep talking about how much I
love Jason Maas but like I feel like I've
870
00:33:46,879 --> 00:33:48,672
gotta give the flowers to Mike Miller.
871
00:33:48,672 --> 00:33:52,938
But like well done. yeah,
872
00:33:49,514 --> 00:33:52,236
Yeah. Or whoever their special teams
coordinator is.
873
00:33:52,236 --> 00:33:53,236
Mickey Donovan.
874
00:33:53,405 --> 00:33:55,467
Donovan. yeah, they did a nice close up of
him after.
875
00:33:55,467 --> 00:33:56,467
Yeah, that was
876
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:56,560
Nicky Donovan
877
00:33:56,321 --> 00:33:58,214
is a heck of a good special teams coach.
878
00:33:58,214 --> 00:34:00,538
Yes, he is. I'll give him that and hey,
879
00:34:00,538 --> 00:34:03,643
yeah, that's a play that deserves to be
pulled out every twenty six,
880
00:34:03,643 --> 00:34:04,694
twenty seven years.
881
00:34:05,102 --> 00:34:06,102
Yeah.
882
00:34:05,855 --> 00:34:07,762
It's probably be illegal next year then.
883
00:34:06,049 --> 00:34:07,049
Yeah.
884
00:34:07,906 --> 00:34:08,906
Yeah,
885
00:34:08,277 --> 00:34:10,098
full yeah, 'cause it's too much fun.
886
00:34:10,098 --> 00:34:12,942
Full credit to them and yeah, they didn't
get a touchdown out of it,
887
00:34:12,942 --> 00:34:15,745
but they certainly got a lot closer to the
field goal they needed.
888
00:34:15,745 --> 00:34:17,307
So that was good.
889
00:34:16,730 --> 00:34:17,730
Yeah.
890
00:34:17,607 --> 00:34:23,304
But then this this game also had Perkins
for Winnipeg go in for a one yard sneak
891
00:34:23,304 --> 00:34:25,426
and take it seventy six yards for a
touchdown,
892
00:34:24,847 --> 00:34:29,523
Yeah, that was awesome. Yeah,
893
00:34:25,426 --> 00:34:28,339
so there was some excitement.
894
00:34:29,315 --> 00:34:30,861
a lot of big plays,
895
00:34:30,872 --> 00:34:34,353
~ this has got me thinking. I I wanna talk
some other things in this game,
896
00:34:34,353 --> 00:34:37,164
but I was just thinking about how there's
kind of a changing of
897
00:34:37,164 --> 00:34:41,836
the garden play calling and the teams that
are really steamrolling are
898
00:34:41,836 --> 00:34:45,688
the ones with the big explosive plays and
they're not grinding it out
899
00:34:45,868 --> 00:34:48,109
on the short wide outs anymore.
900
00:34:48,109 --> 00:34:53,982
You have Montreal, BC and Toronto just
slinging it and they're not on
901
00:34:53,982 --> 00:34:56,923
the field like a ton of time, like like
last week the Argo said we're on the
902
00:34:57,043 --> 00:35:02,314
for 21 minutes and won that game because
they are just like all out shoot out,
903
00:35:02,314 --> 00:35:05,596
like okay corral. people are moving away
from like the five,
904
00:35:05,596 --> 00:35:09,907
eight yard passes and then push it through
and like it's now it's I've been throwing
905
00:35:09,907 --> 00:35:13,308
this 50 yards. Let's go. And
906
00:35:11,435 --> 00:35:13,268
Yeah. Yeah. And
907
00:35:13,308 --> 00:35:15,488
I actually like it. I enjoy it a lot.
908
00:35:15,488 --> 00:35:16,539
So I'm having fun.
909
00:35:17,143 --> 00:35:18,143
Yeah, well I mean
910
00:35:17,825 --> 00:35:19,561
what's not to like. However
911
00:35:19,670 --> 00:35:21,311
sorry, I've got my little puppy here now.
912
00:35:21,311 --> 00:35:24,252
saying hello. it depends on getting behind
the defense.
913
00:35:24,252 --> 00:35:28,913
Which that the whole thing about the bend
don't break defense philosophy
914
00:35:28,934 --> 00:35:32,684
the the zone look that so many people play
is that we'll let them march down
915
00:35:32,684 --> 00:35:35,105
the field, we'll let them march down the
field,
916
00:35:35,105 --> 00:35:38,156
and then when it gets close in they'll get
a field goal 'cause
917
00:35:39,010 --> 00:35:40,601
defense is too tight in the end zone.
918
00:35:40,601 --> 00:35:44,143
And that still works if you play that way.
919
00:35:44,143 --> 00:35:47,915
But what you're seeing if you watch games
th this week,
920
00:35:47,915 --> 00:35:50,006
especially the BC Saskatchewan game,
921
00:35:50,006 --> 00:35:54,188
that Toronto Edmonton game, those things
are working 'cause defenses
922
00:35:54,328 --> 00:35:58,581
are creeping up and letting people get in
behind them and letting those
923
00:35:58,581 --> 00:36:04,254
big plays happen. And if you watch the
games with those same teams where that
924
00:36:04,254 --> 00:36:05,375
doesn't happen,
925
00:36:05,904 --> 00:36:10,207
Then you find out who can if that's taken
away from them can play a regular offense.
926
00:36:10,207 --> 00:36:16,210
And I feel like Montreal can, and I feel
like BC has developed to
927
00:36:16,210 --> 00:36:19,902
the point where they can. I don't know
that Toronto can necessarily.
928
00:36:20,612 --> 00:36:22,593
Winnipeg knew that they were throwing.
929
00:36:22,593 --> 00:36:26,776
The the Kelly was their top rusher with
twelve yards for the full game.
930
00:36:26,776 --> 00:36:28,497
was better than the minus one the game
before.
931
00:36:28,354 --> 00:36:30,783
Yeah. That's true. Yeah.
932
00:36:28,497 --> 00:36:30,318
But you know that they're not running.
933
00:36:30,878 --> 00:36:32,839
So why are people getting behind you?
934
00:36:33,420 --> 00:36:35,169
Yeah, I don't get it. Yeah. It's
935
00:36:35,007 --> 00:36:36,007
And you're
936
00:36:35,317 --> 00:36:40,552
right, unlike Montreal or or Edmonton and
especially B C with like where you've
937
00:36:40,552 --> 00:36:44,195
got quarterbacks that run, but also
running backs that are able to get
through,
938
00:36:44,195 --> 00:36:50,201
that's hard to defend against if you're
that coordinator versus a team like
Hamilton
939
00:36:50,201 --> 00:36:53,193
or even Toronto where you know they're
always going to throw,
940
00:36:53,193 --> 00:36:56,417
right? Like Chad Kelly ran a few times in
this game,
941
00:36:56,417 --> 00:36:57,417
but I don't think
942
00:36:57,091 --> 00:36:58,091
He ran
943
00:36:57,613 --> 00:37:01,387
twice. Look at that.
944
00:36:58,937 --> 00:37:02,813
Yes. Yeah. But not by choice.
945
00:36:59,046 --> 00:37:00,677
well, look at that. A few times.
946
00:37:00,677 --> 00:37:02,708
A couple. He ran a couple times.
947
00:37:01,387 --> 00:37:03,435
He ran twice.
948
00:37:04,108 --> 00:37:08,910
Exactly. But yeah, but like that's easier
not easier to defend against 'cause I've
949
00:37:08,910 --> 00:37:12,701
never done it. But I think if you're
building defense around that
950
00:37:12,701 --> 00:37:14,592
you know that they're going long.
951
00:37:14,592 --> 00:37:16,813
So I don't know, yeah.
952
00:37:18,007 --> 00:37:23,030
yeah, what else happened? Winnipeg
challenged for PI on a 10-yard PI call,
953
00:37:23,030 --> 00:37:25,329
like an accidental pass interference.
954
00:37:25,329 --> 00:37:28,914
I'm like, this is so stupid. And then they
lost that challenge.
955
00:37:28,914 --> 00:37:31,316
I'm like, save it for a deep pass,
956
00:37:31,316 --> 00:37:35,499
not a ticky-tack 10-yarder. You're gonna
get 10 yards for holding.
957
00:37:35,499 --> 00:37:38,461
Like, I just didn't know what was going
on.
958
00:37:38,461 --> 00:37:39,461
the
959
00:37:39,565 --> 00:37:42,137
strangest thing. Why would you challenge
960
00:37:41,099 --> 00:37:42,099
And a yeah.
961
00:37:42,137 --> 00:37:43,137
that?
962
00:37:42,870 --> 00:37:45,191
I don't know and and again it was you
know,
963
00:37:45,191 --> 00:37:47,452
they come out they've done this in other
games,
964
00:37:47,452 --> 00:37:51,534
come out looking like they're gangbusters
and then just can't sustain
965
00:37:50,295 --> 00:37:52,456
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
966
00:37:51,534 --> 00:37:52,795
it for whatever
967
00:37:52,795 --> 00:37:56,582
reason. you mentioned Singer, them find
the de their scouts finding Singer.
968
00:37:56,582 --> 00:37:57,944
He was
969
00:37:57,340 --> 00:37:58,340
He
970
00:37:58,965 --> 00:38:01,286
basically open for the entire first half.
971
00:38:01,286 --> 00:38:05,378
Anytime they chose to throw the ball in
his direction there was nobody within
972
00:38:05,378 --> 00:38:09,700
the same camera shot almost. And then that
just stopped.
973
00:38:10,450 --> 00:38:12,832
Yeah. things that they did well.
974
00:38:12,832 --> 00:38:14,834
Chad was getting hit all night long.
975
00:38:14,933 --> 00:38:16,738
Like they roughed him up pretty good.
976
00:38:16,738 --> 00:38:21,334
one of Chad's runs, he was sliding and the
way he slid he just like fell down
977
00:38:21,174 --> 00:38:23,628
Yeah. You made a note of that.
978
00:38:21,334 --> 00:38:22,334
on his butt.
979
00:38:22,387 --> 00:38:23,515
Yes, I saw that.
980
00:38:23,628 --> 00:38:25,150
That was the most awkward
981
00:38:25,150 --> 00:38:28,377
slide I've ever seen. Yeah. Stop and then
sit down.
982
00:38:27,861 --> 00:38:30,180
Rewind fast forward, rewind, fast
983
00:38:29,895 --> 00:38:30,895
We
984
00:38:30,180 --> 00:38:31,180
for
985
00:38:30,476 --> 00:38:31,476
rewound
986
00:38:31,156 --> 00:38:37,447
it to watch it again. It was the most
awkward slide
987
00:38:34,795 --> 00:38:35,795
Oopsies.
988
00:38:35,442 --> 00:38:36,442
Yeah.
989
00:38:37,447 --> 00:38:38,598
I've ever seen.
990
00:38:39,348 --> 00:38:40,348
Yes.
991
00:38:39,369 --> 00:38:40,369
Yeah.
992
00:38:40,062 --> 00:38:41,527
The Sniper slide.
993
00:38:43,021 --> 00:38:44,021
Like he
994
00:38:43,551 --> 00:38:46,895
just decided like mid like he couldn't
decide what to do and then just
995
00:38:46,895 --> 00:38:48,968
did nothing and just like plopped down.
996
00:38:46,954 --> 00:38:50,377
Yeah. Just legs went out from under him
and collapsed.
997
00:38:48,021 --> 00:38:49,021
Drop.
998
00:38:48,968 --> 00:38:51,952
Yeah. l
999
00:38:50,377 --> 00:38:52,243
Yeah. Yes it was.
1000
00:38:52,510 --> 00:38:57,816
less less funny is Tim White dropping
another critical pass at a critical time.
1001
00:38:55,512 --> 00:38:57,853
~ yeah. Welcome. I hope when
1002
00:38:57,853 --> 00:39:00,895
the Bomber fans are enjoying the Tiger Cat
experience.
1003
00:39:00,895 --> 00:39:03,057
Yeah. Wide open
1004
00:39:01,580 --> 00:39:02,946
Yep. Yep.
1005
00:39:03,057 --> 00:39:04,558
in the middle, nobody near him,
1006
00:39:04,558 --> 00:39:06,739
ball perfectly placed when they need it.
1007
00:39:06,739 --> 00:39:08,020
Yeah.
1008
00:39:08,144 --> 00:39:09,955
But yeah, and then you're right,
1009
00:39:09,955 --> 00:39:12,965
like Winnipeg, they are like the standard
for halftime adjustments,
1010
00:39:12,965 --> 00:39:17,197
I would say, ~ in past. And then they got
shut out of the third,
1011
00:39:17,197 --> 00:39:18,808
and that was the difference in this game.
1012
00:39:17,566 --> 00:39:19,599
Yeah, completely. Yep.
1013
00:39:18,808 --> 00:39:20,838
And I don't know what's
1014
00:39:19,283 --> 00:39:20,693
Yeah. Yes, it was.
1015
00:39:20,838 --> 00:39:23,560
going on in W and they played so well,
1016
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,031
they're so up and down. They're so up and
down.
1017
00:39:25,066 --> 00:39:26,398
I know their first half,
1018
00:39:26,398 --> 00:39:32,499
I thought it was going yeah, like I did
not Yeah.
1019
00:39:29,619 --> 00:39:31,420
I know, like, Toronto's in trouble.
1020
00:39:31,420 --> 00:39:33,341
Like Drew Brown is slinging it.
1021
00:39:32,499 --> 00:39:34,152
Yeah.
1022
00:39:32,585 --> 00:39:33,764
Yeah. Yeah.
1023
00:39:33,341 --> 00:39:34,562
They are doing
1024
00:39:34,562 --> 00:39:37,824
some they're putting together Brady's on
fire.
1025
00:39:36,137 --> 00:39:38,254
He looked solid, yeah.
1026
00:39:37,824 --> 00:39:38,824
Like this
1027
00:39:38,334 --> 00:39:41,766
is like Toronto's got all they can handle
and then they just stop playing.
1028
00:39:42,143 --> 00:39:46,678
Yeah. 'Cause it was so consistent that
first half that they seemed like
1029
00:39:46,678 --> 00:39:49,852
th a steady machine and then ~ yeah.
1030
00:39:49,852 --> 00:39:54,117
Nope. Ring on the picket backflip.
1031
00:39:52,072 --> 00:39:54,913
And to to me Yeah.
1032
00:39:55,306 --> 00:39:56,306
Yeah, pick it up.
1033
00:39:55,433 --> 00:39:56,433
Yeah.
1034
00:39:56,894 --> 00:40:01,196
And and to me I you know, maybe I'm making
assumptions which is always a bad thing,
1035
00:40:01,196 --> 00:40:06,528
but what it looked like to me was that
they got a couple of good solid hits
1036
00:40:06,528 --> 00:40:11,020
on Brown and then he especially he threw
that first interception and
1037
00:40:11,020 --> 00:40:13,281
it seemed like the confidence went out of
his game.
1038
00:40:13,281 --> 00:40:17,223
Yeah, he just he looked like
1039
00:40:13,715 --> 00:40:14,802
Yeah he got rattled.
1040
00:40:15,324 --> 00:40:17,136
Yeah. Who's
1041
00:40:17,223 --> 00:40:18,333
a different player.
1042
00:40:18,918 --> 00:40:22,301
who's ~ standing behind Brown if Brown
goes down?
1043
00:40:23,003 --> 00:40:24,003
Well, they've got Perkins
1044
00:40:23,206 --> 00:40:24,206
Elgersma
1045
00:40:23,965 --> 00:40:26,450
in there and Elgersma, I don't know who
would be coming in.
1046
00:40:27,234 --> 00:40:30,645
He is rattled. That's when you need to use
Brady more.
1047
00:40:30,927 --> 00:40:31,927
Yes
1048
00:40:31,044 --> 00:40:32,425
Yes. Yeah.
1049
00:40:32,438 --> 00:40:33,438
yes.
1050
00:40:33,444 --> 00:40:34,444
Yeah.
1051
00:40:33,647 --> 00:40:34,647
Well
1052
00:40:33,887 --> 00:40:37,850
that and that's the thing is that they in
that second half,
1053
00:40:37,850 --> 00:40:42,004
that part of the reason Brady didn't get
more carries is they couldn't stay
1054
00:40:42,004 --> 00:40:43,946
on the field. But the pattern,
1055
00:40:43,946 --> 00:40:45,417
if you look back through their series,
1056
00:40:45,417 --> 00:40:48,240
it was run Brady for eight to twelve
yards.
1057
00:40:48,990 --> 00:40:50,881
Run again to get the first down if you
need to.
1058
00:40:50,881 --> 00:40:56,173
~ we better pass now. Two incompletes and
out or an interception or whatever.
1059
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:56,906
Yeah. Who know? Yeah.
1060
00:40:56,173 --> 00:40:57,173
They just
1061
00:40:57,014 --> 00:41:00,435
would not stick to the the running game
when it was working.
1062
00:41:00,435 --> 00:41:05,798
And again that's for whatever that's
Condell's style I guess with it,
1063
00:41:05,798 --> 00:41:06,798
but
1064
00:41:06,877 --> 00:41:10,715
Was Dembsky plain? Hmm.
1065
00:41:08,766 --> 00:41:09,766
Yes.
1066
00:41:09,810 --> 00:41:10,810
Yes. Although
1067
00:41:10,744 --> 00:41:12,762
I don't know that I don't remember seeing
a target.
1068
00:41:12,774 --> 00:41:14,039
He got
1069
00:41:13,051 --> 00:41:14,051
No.
1070
00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:17,232
three he went three for seven for fifteen
yards.
1071
00:41:16,184 --> 00:41:17,812
~ did he? Okay,
1072
00:41:17,812 --> 00:41:19,349
so he did get some hit targets.
1073
00:41:19,349 --> 00:41:20,349
I didn't even see that,
1074
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:23,495
I didn't even put the wide receivers on my
score sheet because he didn't even throw
1075
00:41:23,495 --> 00:41:26,008
to the wide side. He only threw through
them over the middle.
1076
00:41:25,821 --> 00:41:30,232
Yeah. Yeah. And that again, don't forget
that's that's
1077
00:41:26,008 --> 00:41:28,532
~ arm strength.
1078
00:41:30,232 --> 00:41:34,573
all Condell's offense. It dictates who's
getting the ball and where
1079
00:41:34,573 --> 00:41:37,644
and it's Tim White. You know,
1080
00:41:37,644 --> 00:41:41,645
it's I I just yeah, it's it it's
1081
00:41:40,950 --> 00:41:41,950
Too bad.
1082
00:41:41,645 --> 00:41:46,707
hard to tell. And Winnipeg's in a a weird
spot because if you look
1083
00:41:46,707 --> 00:41:49,427
at Ottawa for instance, they want to win a
game,
1084
00:41:49,427 --> 00:41:52,548
so they're playing MBT and who's we'll see
who we play play this week,
1085
00:41:52,548 --> 00:41:53,548
but
1086
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:57,717
They'll have two or three games that they
can put in their younger guy This would
1087
00:41:57,717 --> 00:42:01,720
be a fantastic time for Winnipeg to put
Elgersma in for two or three games
1088
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:05,603
and get him some seasoning. But they're
still fighting for a playoff spot.
1089
00:42:03,754 --> 00:42:07,809
Mm. Yeah, I was like, they're they're not
sellers at the deadline.
1090
00:42:05,603 --> 00:42:09,075
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,
1091
00:42:05,618 --> 00:42:06,618
So they can't.
1092
00:42:07,809 --> 00:42:08,809
They're still
1093
00:42:09,075 --> 00:42:10,075
they're
1094
00:42:09,665 --> 00:42:13,938
they're still wanting to try and get in as
h as high up as they can.
1095
00:42:13,938 --> 00:42:14,959
So they'll stick with
1096
00:42:15,293 --> 00:42:17,461
Brown or bring Zach back and
1097
00:42:18,211 --> 00:42:21,174
well, we'll see. it's gonna be
interesting.
1098
00:42:21,174 --> 00:42:27,919
basically going ahead, we've got four
games left and the the mishmash we'll
1099
00:42:27,919 --> 00:42:29,281
see what happens with the Elk.
1100
00:42:29,281 --> 00:42:32,884
They they may still still flounder,
1101
00:42:32,884 --> 00:42:34,566
but I think they end up in first,
1102
00:42:34,566 --> 00:42:36,998
so that means that the other three teams
are
1103
00:42:37,748 --> 00:42:39,930
fighting it out to see or are there four
teams.
1104
00:42:39,930 --> 00:42:42,343
I guess Calgary is still potentially in
there.
1105
00:42:42,343 --> 00:42:46,587
And if you look at it, Calgary plays all
three of B C,
1106
00:42:46,587 --> 00:42:48,589
Winnipeg and Saskatchewan.
1107
00:42:49,339 --> 00:42:52,626
That's who they need to Yeah. I mean
that's
1108
00:42:50,324 --> 00:42:53,185
Yeah. Yeah.
1109
00:42:53,205 --> 00:42:54,616
If they if they're gonna get in,
1110
00:42:54,616 --> 00:42:56,446
they're gonna have to win their way in to
do it.
1111
00:42:56,446 --> 00:42:59,148
Winnipeg plays Calgary and again,
1112
00:42:59,148 --> 00:43:03,739
you know, so those teams have a lot to say
over what's going what happens with it.
1113
00:43:03,739 --> 00:43:09,382
And unfortunately it's looking less like
the ~ game at the end of the season will
1114
00:43:09,382 --> 00:43:13,573
be for first place, but there's still an
Edmonton Saskatchewan game
1115
00:43:13,573 --> 00:43:15,034
to see what happens with it also.
1116
00:43:15,313 --> 00:43:18,114
West's gonna be an interesting last four
weeks of the season.
1117
00:43:18,864 --> 00:43:19,864
Mm-hmm.
1118
00:43:20,389 --> 00:43:22,390
Should we talk about Saskatchewan and BC?
1119
00:43:23,740 --> 00:43:24,740
Yeah.
1120
00:43:23,750 --> 00:43:24,910
We have we have
1121
00:43:24,048 --> 00:43:25,048
Yeah.
1122
00:43:24,910 --> 00:43:26,971
we have we done Ragan on Winnipeg?
1123
00:43:26,971 --> 00:43:32,053
Okay. Yeah.
1124
00:43:28,494 --> 00:43:29,546
Love you, Winnipeg.
1125
00:43:29,784 --> 00:43:32,146
Love you, Winnipeg. We love you.
1126
00:43:32,053 --> 00:43:35,064
Yes, yes indeed.
1127
00:43:32,146 --> 00:43:33,146
Love the forks.
1128
00:43:35,064 --> 00:43:36,654
Okay. And
1129
00:43:37,855 --> 00:43:42,146
this game we can we'll well there may be a
lot to talk about.
1130
00:43:42,146 --> 00:43:44,047
There may not be so much to talk about.
1131
00:43:44,047 --> 00:43:45,063
It all depends where you look at it.
1132
00:43:45,505 --> 00:43:48,067
To me it was a good it was an exciting
game.
1133
00:43:48,067 --> 00:43:51,950
It was a well played game on both sides.
1134
00:43:51,950 --> 00:43:55,182
It was fairly clean. There weren't a lot
of sacks,
1135
00:43:55,182 --> 00:43:56,343
there weren't a lot of turnovers,
1136
00:43:56,343 --> 00:43:57,594
there weren't a lot of penalties.
1137
00:43:57,594 --> 00:44:03,458
The difference in the game was that BC got
behind coverage twice.
1138
00:44:03,458 --> 00:44:09,672
And that gave them the opportunity to to
score more points,
1139
00:44:09,672 --> 00:44:10,903
which is of course how you win.
1140
00:44:10,903 --> 00:44:11,903
But
1141
00:44:11,914 --> 00:44:13,852
I thought I thought it was an excellent
game.
1142
00:44:13,852 --> 00:44:15,820
I really enjoyed it all the way through.
1143
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,902
I will admit, I've been saying all along
I'm still not sold on the BC defense.
1144
00:44:20,902 --> 00:44:24,493
When they had to shuffle their back end
the way they did this last week
1145
00:44:24,493 --> 00:44:26,223
and still came up with that performance,
1146
00:44:26,223 --> 00:44:29,425
okay. Time for me to say they're they're
winning me over.
1147
00:44:29,425 --> 00:44:33,066
And ~ they look like they can play pass
defense too.
1148
00:44:34,070 --> 00:44:36,437
They have won seven of their last eight.
1149
00:44:36,694 --> 00:44:37,694
They have.
1150
00:44:37,742 --> 00:44:40,329
So you can't say they're not a good team
anymore.
1151
00:44:41,315 --> 00:44:42,315
Well, I could.
1152
00:44:41,547 --> 00:44:42,547
But there
1153
00:44:42,596 --> 00:44:44,637
But but I wouldn't hold I wouldn't I yes
1154
00:44:42,944 --> 00:44:43,979
No, you can't.
1155
00:44:44,637 --> 00:44:47,139
I could. I do a I say a lot of things with
no evidence,
1156
00:44:47,139 --> 00:44:48,139
but but
1157
00:44:47,358 --> 00:44:48,358
But
1158
00:44:48,019 --> 00:44:49,980
but I'd have a hard time backing it up.
1159
00:44:49,980 --> 00:44:52,532
No, I admit that the stuff that they were
doing wrong,
1160
00:44:52,532 --> 00:44:54,223
their receivers were dropping balls.
1161
00:44:54,223 --> 00:45:00,046
That's not happening anymore. They were
busting coverage and letting long plays
1162
00:45:00,046 --> 00:45:02,187
happen. I mean, every defense is gonna
give up points,
1163
00:45:02,187 --> 00:45:05,569
and giving up twenty five to thirty points
in this league is
1164
00:45:06,081 --> 00:45:08,544
Not a bad defense. That's just what the
game is.
1165
00:45:08,544 --> 00:45:13,408
They were earlier on, they were dropping
balls on the offense.
1166
00:45:13,408 --> 00:45:18,473
Nathan was making either questionable
reads or his accuracy wasn't there.
1167
00:45:18,473 --> 00:45:23,187
The special teams were were making
mistakes all over the place and
1168
00:45:23,187 --> 00:45:25,218
the defense was letting busts happen.
1169
00:45:25,218 --> 00:45:28,621
They've cleaned all that up. We haven't
seen
1170
00:45:28,138 --> 00:45:29,138
They
1171
00:45:28,621 --> 00:45:30,653
that for two or three games now.
1172
00:45:31,614 --> 00:45:35,556
they're getting great at the perfect time
of the season.
1173
00:45:34,738 --> 00:45:37,191
Yes. Yes, they are.
1174
00:45:35,556 --> 00:45:37,408
~ and it's scary
1175
00:45:35,784 --> 00:45:36,784
Absolutely.
1176
00:45:37,408 --> 00:45:41,090
for the rest of the people who are chasing
those playoff spots in
1177
00:45:41,090 --> 00:45:45,744
the West because yeah, with when you've
got a defense like that,
1178
00:45:45,744 --> 00:45:47,495
if you've got a guy like Betts,
1179
00:45:47,495 --> 00:45:51,538
yes, he just got fine, but if he can get
under someone like Alexander's skin
1180
00:45:51,538 --> 00:45:57,072
and destroy their entire offensive game
and you've got a defense to back you up,
1181
00:45:57,522 --> 00:46:00,855
tha that's good football. Like this was
this was a fun game.
1182
00:46:00,855 --> 00:46:03,638
That back and forth, there was no blowout.
1183
00:46:03,638 --> 00:46:07,903
It wasn't like the Bomber Argo game where
it seemed like the tale of two games.
1184
00:46:07,903 --> 00:46:11,106
Like this this was really fun.
1185
00:46:09,820 --> 00:46:11,160
Nathan was and it's not
1186
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,031
like the Saskatchewan wasn't defending
well,
1187
00:46:13,031 --> 00:46:15,482
like but Nathan was threat threading the
needle.
1188
00:46:15,019 --> 00:46:16,269
Yeah. He was.
1189
00:46:15,482 --> 00:46:17,963
Like threading
1190
00:46:16,233 --> 00:46:17,233
Amazing game.
1191
00:46:17,963 --> 00:46:20,024
the needle. Like that unbelievable,
1192
00:46:20,024 --> 00:46:24,226
unbelievable where those Yes, no
butterfingers anymore.
1193
00:46:20,244 --> 00:46:22,198
And his receivers were catching them.
1194
00:46:22,198 --> 00:46:23,661
That's huge.
1195
00:46:22,517 --> 00:46:25,571
Yes. Yeah. Exactly.
1196
00:46:25,571 --> 00:46:28,595
And that's where I say it was to me it was
a a clean,
1197
00:46:28,595 --> 00:46:33,542
well played game and it was fairly
balanced it wasn't wasn't poor defense.
1198
00:46:30,981 --> 00:46:33,387
Yeah. They they seem to be running temp.
1199
00:46:33,542 --> 00:46:34,542
It was
1200
00:46:33,982 --> 00:46:36,375
excellent quarterbacking was what I saw.
1201
00:46:36,198 --> 00:46:37,198
Yeah,
1202
00:46:36,448 --> 00:46:40,841
and BC seems to be running tempo more and
they excel at running tempo.
1203
00:46:40,841 --> 00:46:44,493
Like they are doing well with that and I
think it's catching up.
1204
00:46:44,493 --> 00:46:47,524
The only th I think their biggest mistake
was their time count violation
1205
00:46:47,525 --> 00:46:50,701
in at the goal line. And then they did c
trots Sean White out,
1206
00:46:50,701 --> 00:46:53,672
but that that was the only their really
big error.
1207
00:46:54,056 --> 00:46:58,549
if anything there were a couple of
coaching decisions made that that
1208
00:46:58,549 --> 00:47:01,331
may have may have ended up deciding this
game,
1209
00:47:01,331 --> 00:47:05,474
may not have. Robert Carter Junior said
I'm back with a another
1210
00:47:05,434 --> 00:47:07,866
You didn't think he was gonna play well.
1211
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,698
an amazing knockdown. ~ man.
1212
00:47:07,866 --> 00:47:11,208
You said he wasn't. Look at
1213
00:47:09,698 --> 00:47:12,249
Yeah. Yeah.
1214
00:47:12,259 --> 00:47:15,712
it's his signature move. That one hand
like
1215
00:47:14,256 --> 00:47:16,477
Yeah. Yep. And
1216
00:47:16,477 --> 00:47:18,218
what a vertical behind him, yes.
1217
00:47:18,218 --> 00:47:22,361
coaches make the decisions that they want
and and you have to live with it.
1218
00:47:22,361 --> 00:47:27,784
I thought that the riders made a bad
decision after they came back
1219
00:47:27,784 --> 00:47:30,565
and got a touchdown to get within seven
points.
1220
00:47:31,575 --> 00:47:36,109
And then instead of trying a traditional
onside or a deep kick with
1221
00:47:36,269 --> 00:47:38,231
a couple of minutes left where they could
have done either,
1222
00:47:38,231 --> 00:47:42,964
they they tried a pooch over the the
middle that still that still ended
1223
00:47:42,964 --> 00:47:48,159
up being returned to like the fifty and
never got the ball back until
1224
00:47:48,619 --> 00:47:50,541
I think three seconds left in the game.
1225
00:47:50,541 --> 00:47:55,164
So that's one who knows if they tried it
onside would they have gotten it.
1226
00:47:55,164 --> 00:47:57,526
If they'd tried it deep, would that have
given them a better chance
1227
00:47:57,526 --> 00:47:59,248
to stop the Lions? I don't know,
1228
00:47:59,248 --> 00:48:00,248
but
1229
00:48:00,248 --> 00:48:01,248
~ I did.
1230
00:48:00,304 --> 00:48:01,849
But like I said, there were a few
decisions
1231
00:48:01,849 --> 00:48:04,066
that might have changed the course of the
game like that.
1232
00:48:03,914 --> 00:48:04,914
~
1233
00:48:04,225 --> 00:48:07,871
the riders have well how lucky are they
that AJ's back?
1234
00:48:07,871 --> 00:48:10,597
He had a fantastic
1235
00:48:08,344 --> 00:48:10,115
Yeah. He was playing well.
1236
00:48:08,375 --> 00:48:09,375
Yes.
1237
00:48:10,597 --> 00:48:13,733
game for the first game back and ~
Trevor's probably really happy 'cause
1238
00:48:13,733 --> 00:48:14,733
AJ can block.
1239
00:48:14,959 --> 00:48:16,660
Yes. Yeah, it took him
1240
00:48:16,660 --> 00:48:21,914
about ~ four or five carries to get his
feet back underneath him.
1241
00:48:21,914 --> 00:48:23,915
And then he started running well.
1242
00:48:23,915 --> 00:48:26,977
Keen Schaefer Baker came back and the and
he made
1243
00:48:26,672 --> 00:48:27,672
Yeah.
1244
00:48:26,977 --> 00:48:28,218
a couple of catches, but his
1245
00:48:27,855 --> 00:48:28,855
Yeah.
1246
00:48:28,218 --> 00:48:31,860
biggest contribution was he just drew
coverage.
1247
00:48:31,860 --> 00:48:35,723
And so they got Keyshawn Johnson in on a
on a lot of stuff again.
1248
00:48:35,723 --> 00:48:36,994
and yeah, but
1249
00:48:36,294 --> 00:48:37,294
I think we
1250
00:48:36,994 --> 00:48:39,115
but for the the but for the Lions,
1251
00:48:39,115 --> 00:48:40,296
Katoy was playing a
1252
00:48:40,986 --> 00:48:45,347
A fantastic game. I mean he was everywhere
they needed him to be,
1253
00:48:45,347 --> 00:48:49,068
played extremely well. No run game for the
Lions,
1254
00:48:49,068 --> 00:48:52,499
but that's not surprising. In fact,
1255
00:48:52,499 --> 00:48:55,070
to tell you the truth, I was surprised
that Olluette got as much as
1256
00:48:55,070 --> 00:48:58,431
he did because as much as I've ragged on
the BC defense all year,
1257
00:48:58,431 --> 00:49:03,602
it's been on their back end. I've been
I've been giving flowers but bouquets
1258
00:49:03,602 --> 00:49:07,493
to the front seven all year. They are
great against the run and AJ
1259
00:49:07,493 --> 00:49:09,584
got more yardage than I thought that he
would have.
1260
00:49:10,364 --> 00:49:11,726
Well, the the riders and AJ did.
1261
00:49:11,726 --> 00:49:13,948
It wasn't all on his own. But but again,
1262
00:49:13,948 --> 00:49:18,033
yeah, while the and the riders do a good
job of shutting down the run as well.
1263
00:49:18,033 --> 00:49:20,586
They shut down Horbath and Butler
basically,
1264
00:49:20,586 --> 00:49:24,611
but it didn't matter 'cause Rourke got out
and made runs when he needed to,
1265
00:49:24,611 --> 00:49:29,467
and basically just making good decisions
with the football and
1266
00:49:30,217 --> 00:49:31,217
Yeah.
1267
00:49:30,547 --> 00:49:34,159
This was a game where you could tell that
the players were amped up,
1268
00:49:34,159 --> 00:49:36,720
but like in the best way possible.
1269
00:49:36,720 --> 00:49:38,721
Like you said, like not a ton of
penalties.
1270
00:49:38,721 --> 00:49:42,212
you've got all those receivers finishing
those routes,
1271
00:49:42,212 --> 00:49:45,084
drawing the defense, giving your
quarterback options.
1272
00:49:45,084 --> 00:49:49,511
You've got those defenses, So I think
that's why I enjoyed this game
1273
00:49:49,511 --> 00:49:53,032
so much because it seemed like everyone
was in the game.
1274
00:49:53,032 --> 00:49:55,253
They were in the moment. There was always
like,
1275
00:49:55,310 --> 00:50:00,097
disciplined football. Like i it was great
to see two really good teams
1276
00:50:00,097 --> 00:50:03,512
go head to head. i it was really
entertaining for that reason.
1277
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:04,360
Yeah.
1278
00:50:03,512 --> 00:50:04,512
Yeah.
1279
00:50:05,491 --> 00:50:06,601
Yeah, I'll give you that. Yeah,
1280
00:50:06,601 --> 00:50:10,652
it's th this is kind of what I think I was
talking about a bit last week when
1281
00:50:10,652 --> 00:50:14,313
I said the the games can sometimes be
exciting when it's not great football.
1282
00:50:14,313 --> 00:50:17,393
But it's different when you have two good
teams.
1283
00:50:17,393 --> 00:50:20,896
Feels like less of a random event,
1284
00:50:20,896 --> 00:50:24,376
you know, it seems more like the win is is
earned.
1285
00:50:24,376 --> 00:50:27,457
But speaking random events, I'm jumping
ahead to
1286
00:50:29,273 --> 00:50:35,979
Calgary at Ottawa. A sixty two yard field
goal a a week ago was all that that Ottawa
1287
00:50:35,979 --> 00:50:40,703
lost by. So the three of us and several
others were saying back home,
1288
00:50:40,703 --> 00:50:43,645
looking good. This should be the week.
1289
00:50:44,395 --> 00:50:46,547
Calgary forty five, Ottawa thirty one.
1290
00:50:46,547 --> 00:50:51,052
And Ottawa was Calgary was just a better
team.
1291
00:50:51,052 --> 00:50:52,052
Go ahead.
1292
00:50:51,636 --> 00:50:52,636
Yeah.
1293
00:50:53,337 --> 00:50:56,720
I was gonna say, like I know I got mad at
Dinwiddie for like,
1294
00:50:56,720 --> 00:51:00,952
why would you not take points in the first
quarter And he went for the field goal
1295
00:51:01,172 --> 00:51:05,634
in in the first quarter and good thing he
got those points this time around.
1296
00:51:05,634 --> 00:51:10,557
Because I think McCloud Bethel Thompson
really wasn't connecting as well
1297
00:51:10,557 --> 00:51:13,069
as that first game. So I don't know if
that's receivers,
1298
00:51:13,069 --> 00:51:15,360
him both. I don't know, but it
1299
00:51:14,869 --> 00:51:15,869
Which is funny
1300
00:51:15,521 --> 00:51:18,891
'cause he threw for four hundred and
eighteen yards and like
1301
00:51:19,927 --> 00:51:20,927
Mm-hmm.
1302
00:51:21,153 --> 00:51:23,116
How do you not win? Ottawa.
1303
00:51:22,969 --> 00:51:23,969
'Cause V
1304
00:51:24,016 --> 00:51:25,926
VA threw for four hundred and twenty two.
1305
00:51:26,326 --> 00:51:29,532
Yeah. Like Hardy had such a anyway.
1306
00:51:26,775 --> 00:51:30,291
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.
1307
00:51:29,532 --> 00:51:30,532
Yeah.
1308
00:51:29,909 --> 00:51:30,909
Hardy
1309
00:51:30,290 --> 00:51:32,644
had such a good ~ Eberhard had a
1310
00:51:31,493 --> 00:51:32,654
Hardy had a great game.
1311
00:51:32,654 --> 00:51:35,440
their offense wasn't necessarily the issue
this game.
1312
00:51:35,914 --> 00:51:39,489
No, defense couldn't do much, although
their offense didn't score as much
1313
00:51:39,489 --> 00:51:40,911
as they did a week ago either.
1314
00:51:40,911 --> 00:51:45,326
But yeah, Pimbleton did have that one
diving catch on the sidelines that
1315
00:51:45,747 --> 00:51:47,098
may or may not have been a catch,
1316
00:51:47,098 --> 00:51:48,871
but certainly couldn't be overturned by
1317
00:51:48,872 --> 00:51:49,872
Yeah.
1318
00:51:49,008 --> 00:51:50,008
What
1319
00:51:49,989 --> 00:51:53,572
yeah. Like we like how many times did they
reshow that?
1320
00:51:53,572 --> 00:51:55,414
man. Close.
1321
00:51:54,581 --> 00:51:56,783
Yeah. Yes.
1322
00:51:56,943 --> 00:52:01,387
Ottawa tried to to channel New Orleans in
their Super Bowl against Indianapolis
1323
00:52:01,387 --> 00:52:04,990
by coming out at the half and trying a
surprise onside kick.
1324
00:52:04,990 --> 00:52:07,011
But unfortunately
1325
00:52:06,267 --> 00:52:07,267
And then
1326
00:52:07,451 --> 00:52:09,473
it worked for New Orleans. For Ottawa
1327
00:52:09,473 --> 00:52:12,070
they recovered it, yes, with someone
offside.
1328
00:52:12,871 --> 00:52:15,732
And this is where your coach and
1329
00:52:13,813 --> 00:52:14,816
So Ottawa.
1330
00:52:15,793 --> 00:52:18,734
and TSN, good for you, I don't know,
1331
00:52:18,734 --> 00:52:20,655
but as soon as that play happened,
1332
00:52:20,655 --> 00:52:25,658
you see the coaches watching like the iPad
trying to figure out like how
1333
00:52:25,658 --> 00:52:28,269
did we get this wrong? Like we
1334
00:52:27,712 --> 00:52:28,712
Yeah.
1335
00:52:28,269 --> 00:52:30,560
had a plan coming out the tunnel.
1336
00:52:30,108 --> 00:52:34,451
Yeah. Yeah. And good desperation,
1337
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:34,282
And so good job, shady moment,
1338
00:52:34,282 --> 00:52:35,282
T SN.
1339
00:52:34,451 --> 00:52:35,451
but
1340
00:52:35,892 --> 00:52:38,835
Yeah. Like I said, that's how you do
desperation.
1341
00:52:38,835 --> 00:52:40,656
That could have maybe won them that game,
1342
00:52:40,656 --> 00:52:43,348
if you execute. But again, if you execute,
1343
00:52:43,348 --> 00:52:47,181
you're probably not at Owen eighteen or
one for fourteen now.
1344
00:52:47,181 --> 00:52:49,503
Yes. Match the Shreveport Pirates
1345
00:52:50,793 --> 00:52:53,232
If you win one game you'll match the
Tycats.
1346
00:52:53,612 --> 00:52:54,612
Ha ha.
1347
00:52:53,734 --> 00:52:54,734
Yeah.
1348
00:52:55,625 --> 00:52:58,056
Things goals. My goal.
1349
00:52:59,838 --> 00:53:00,838
yes.
1350
00:53:01,225 --> 00:53:02,225
Yeah.
1351
00:53:01,721 --> 00:53:03,222
there's like that meme going around,
1352
00:53:03,222 --> 00:53:04,962
like if you've seen like with who was it?
1353
00:53:04,962 --> 00:53:06,824
~ Michael Jordan, where he's like,
1354
00:53:06,824 --> 00:53:10,634
and I took that personally. And all I
could think was like that was VA.
1355
00:53:10,634 --> 00:53:12,335
He's like, but we were all like bad VA,
1356
00:53:10,927 --> 00:53:11,927
Yeah.
1357
00:53:12,335 --> 00:53:13,496
he's like,
1358
00:53:13,596 --> 00:53:16,098
and I took that personally, and
1359
00:53:15,407 --> 00:53:16,407
Yeah.
1360
00:53:16,198 --> 00:53:19,231
I'll show you what's up, and and
1361
00:53:17,528 --> 00:53:18,528
And he sure did.
1362
00:53:19,231 --> 00:53:23,274
he sure I feel like this game and last
game were like a little TSN turning point
1363
00:53:23,274 --> 00:53:24,274
for Calgary.
1364
00:53:24,507 --> 00:53:26,778
Like they played much better this game.
1365
00:53:26,778 --> 00:53:29,360
They seemed awake and engaged
1366
00:53:29,762 --> 00:53:32,903
and knew where they were and what they
wanted to do,
1367
00:53:32,903 --> 00:53:35,255
which we couldn't say that the last few
games.
1368
00:53:35,255 --> 00:53:38,347
So maybe this is maybe this is a watch out
west.
1369
00:53:38,347 --> 00:53:41,268
Maybe the the Stampeders have woken up
finally.
1370
00:53:41,604 --> 00:53:42,604
Yeah. Well I feel
1371
00:53:42,535 --> 00:53:44,267
like you roll into Ottawa thinking,
1372
00:53:44,267 --> 00:53:47,430
K we're gonna win this, let's just make
sure we go out and win this.
1373
00:53:47,430 --> 00:53:49,204
Well, ~
1374
00:53:49,178 --> 00:53:50,178
It's
1375
00:53:49,593 --> 00:53:50,874
how? How are you gonna win this?
1376
00:53:50,874 --> 00:53:55,946
And then so getting embarrassed like Yeah.
1377
00:53:52,465 --> 00:53:55,258
'Cause you remember you almost lost last
game.
1378
00:53:54,821 --> 00:53:55,935
Yeah. Yeah.
1379
00:53:56,190 --> 00:54:00,493
And so coming back in, like this is like I
don't even know how many penalties they
1380
00:54:00,493 --> 00:54:03,105
took, but I don't think they had that many
penalties this game.
1381
00:54:03,105 --> 00:54:04,376
So like a different
1382
00:54:03,734 --> 00:54:04,734
No, it
1383
00:54:04,376 --> 00:54:06,147
looking team. Like we are going
1384
00:54:05,686 --> 00:54:06,686
Yeah.
1385
00:54:06,227 --> 00:54:08,589
like it's almost like the team decided,
1386
00:54:08,589 --> 00:54:10,350
okay, yeah, we we should play.
1387
00:54:10,350 --> 00:54:13,162
You're right. Like, you guys are
1388
00:54:11,617 --> 00:54:13,127
Yeah. Yeah.
1389
00:54:13,162 --> 00:54:15,043
still high off the stampede bowl,
1390
00:54:15,043 --> 00:54:17,465
like time to time to get back to work.
1391
00:54:17,465 --> 00:54:18,735
Let's let's go.
1392
00:54:18,983 --> 00:54:20,652
Maybe they will cross over and run
1393
00:54:19,111 --> 00:54:20,602
Yeah. Yes.
1394
00:54:20,652 --> 00:54:21,652
the table.
1395
00:54:21,620 --> 00:54:22,931
Although I maybe,
1396
00:54:22,420 --> 00:54:23,420
~
1397
00:54:22,931 --> 00:54:26,023
but I still point out they were playing
Ottawa.
1398
00:54:26,023 --> 00:54:27,865
They were the better team.
1399
00:54:26,770 --> 00:54:27,770
Yeah
1400
00:54:28,615 --> 00:54:29,615
Yeah.
1401
00:54:29,598 --> 00:54:30,598
We'll find
1402
00:54:30,189 --> 00:54:32,421
out. We'll find out.
1403
00:54:32,029 --> 00:54:33,029
Yeah.
1404
00:54:32,421 --> 00:54:36,175
We don't have to to even prognosticate or
whatever.
1405
00:54:36,175 --> 00:54:38,967
We're going to find out real soon here.
1406
00:54:38,967 --> 00:54:41,850
Is Calgary a real team this year?
1407
00:54:41,850 --> 00:54:43,551
'cause like I said, Saskatchewan,
1408
00:54:43,551 --> 00:54:46,054
Winnipeg, BC. They have three games left.
1409
00:54:46,054 --> 00:54:49,787
They have a bye in there. Three games
against the teams that
1410
00:54:49,787 --> 00:54:52,060
are immediately above them in the
standings,
1411
00:54:52,060 --> 00:54:53,060
so
1412
00:54:53,100 --> 00:54:54,100
If they
1413
00:54:53,169 --> 00:54:54,169
So
1414
00:54:53,561 --> 00:54:57,627
get if they make it to the crossover spot
or higher,
1415
00:54:57,627 --> 00:55:01,663
which is possible, maybe into the western
playoffs but if they make it there
1416
00:55:01,904 --> 00:55:06,150
it will be well earned because they they
do not have an easy road.
1417
00:55:06,900 --> 00:55:07,900
Would you rather
1418
00:55:06,952 --> 00:55:07,952
Yeah.
1419
00:55:07,593 --> 00:55:11,780
be the crossover team at this point or
like the dog fight out in the West?
1420
00:55:12,285 --> 00:55:17,277
I don't know that it matters 'cause
Toronto's playing better ball.
1421
00:55:17,277 --> 00:55:22,719
they're a better team than I had thought
they were Montreal's awful hard to beat.
1422
00:55:23,379 --> 00:55:24,379
Maybe
1423
00:55:23,617 --> 00:55:28,349
the West might be so beat up after these
next four games that the East team might
1424
00:55:28,349 --> 00:55:31,861
just roll right through. I don't know
because it they're all playing each other.
1425
00:55:29,408 --> 00:55:32,641
Yeah. That that that could be Yes.
1426
00:55:32,941 --> 00:55:35,033
That's entirely possible. You know,
1427
00:55:35,033 --> 00:55:38,995
and beat up and worn down and they're all
still in the playoff hunt,
1428
00:55:38,995 --> 00:55:43,489
so they still have to play. Whereas Yeah.
1429
00:55:39,859 --> 00:55:42,402
Yeah. Yeah, you're not resting anyone.
1430
00:55:42,402 --> 00:55:43,849
Like you have to play.
1431
00:55:43,489 --> 00:55:44,790
Yeah, whereas
1432
00:55:44,790 --> 00:55:47,912
chances are that if well, who knows
1433
00:55:48,372 --> 00:55:51,695
Where it'll go. But it is in Montreal and
they're playing Winnipeg this weekend,
1434
00:55:51,695 --> 00:55:55,078
so I think they've got a reasonable chance
that this is the game that
1435
00:55:55,098 --> 00:56:00,282
two years ago a gust of wind gave Winnipeg
the first place in the in
1436
00:56:00,282 --> 00:56:02,644
the West from it. So well you never know,
1437
00:56:02,644 --> 00:56:06,217
but they're going out there. And if
Montreal wins and they've got first place,
1438
00:56:06,217 --> 00:56:08,228
Toronto knows they've got second place.
1439
00:56:08,228 --> 00:56:11,111
Their last three games of the season,
1440
00:56:11,111 --> 00:56:14,633
they can basically mix and match and rest
people as they want.
1441
00:56:14,633 --> 00:56:17,736
Whereas in the West, everybody's gonna be
1442
00:56:19,228 --> 00:56:20,228
Yeah.
1443
00:56:19,291 --> 00:56:20,291
Yeah.
1444
00:56:19,420 --> 00:56:20,420
going
1445
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:24,623
full out because anyone could well I don't
think Calgary can get first place,
1446
00:56:24,623 --> 00:56:29,456
but they can get in the playoffs and at
least BC and Saskatchewan could still have
1447
00:56:29,456 --> 00:56:32,288
a shot at first place. Winnipeg
1448
00:56:31,707 --> 00:56:32,707
So
1449
00:56:32,968 --> 00:56:34,469
I think Winnipeg plays Edmonton,
1450
00:56:34,469 --> 00:56:35,810
so they may still have a shot at it.
1451
00:56:36,473 --> 00:56:41,249
Yeah. 'Cause gonna say like the trade
deadline is tomorrow and I know that
1452
00:56:41,249 --> 00:56:42,800
we had quite a bit of movement,
1453
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,825
but if you are one of those teams on the
West,
1454
00:56:46,825 --> 00:56:50,289
like I don't know how like what do you
pick up,
1455
00:56:50,289 --> 00:56:52,832
what do you look for? Is there anything
out there worth
1456
00:56:53,295 --> 00:56:56,727
The only teams selling are the Red Blacks
and the Ti-cats and do you want
1457
00:56:56,727 --> 00:57:00,779
any of their players? Yeah.
1458
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,492
Yeah, I want lots of players from Ottawa.
1459
00:57:00,492 --> 00:57:03,374
Sorry, Hamilton, you too, I guess.
1460
00:57:00,779 --> 00:57:03,701
You actually do. Do you want Hardy?
1461
00:57:03,374 --> 00:57:05,526
Yeah, I a hundred
1462
00:57:03,701 --> 00:57:05,002
I think you would want Hardy.
1463
00:57:05,262 --> 00:57:06,262
Hardy
1464
00:57:05,526 --> 00:57:06,596
percent want Hardy.
1465
00:57:05,623 --> 00:57:06,636
may be in he might
1466
00:57:06,636 --> 00:57:08,631
be somebody that they would trade 'cause
1467
00:57:08,954 --> 00:57:09,954
Do
1468
00:57:09,212 --> 00:57:11,920
you want Eberhart? Do you want Reggie
Stubblefield?
1469
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,082
Do you want
1470
00:57:12,145 --> 00:57:13,145
Yes.
1471
00:57:13,500 --> 00:57:14,500
I don't
1472
00:57:13,803 --> 00:57:14,803
Whitney
1473
00:57:14,174 --> 00:57:17,108
McManus? Do you want like who do like
1474
00:57:16,627 --> 00:57:17,627
Winton maybe,
1475
00:57:17,399 --> 00:57:21,282
I don't know what Eberhart and
Stubblefield's contracts are,
1476
00:57:21,282 --> 00:57:22,844
but I don't think they're up this year.
1477
00:57:22,844 --> 00:57:25,496
And those are both players I don't see
them trading,
1478
00:57:25,496 --> 00:57:28,238
'cause those are players that are still of
the future.
1479
00:57:27,710 --> 00:57:28,710
Franchise players.
1480
00:57:28,238 --> 00:57:29,238
I see
1481
00:57:28,628 --> 00:57:30,190
if they're gonna get rid of somebody,
1482
00:57:30,190 --> 00:57:34,092
it's gonna be someone more towards the
latter half of their career,
1483
00:57:34,092 --> 00:57:36,534
which is Howsare that Hamilton just
traded.
1484
00:57:36,534 --> 00:57:39,056
You know, maybe somebody on on the O line,
1485
00:57:39,056 --> 00:57:40,056
maybe ~
1486
00:57:40,989 --> 00:57:47,356
~ a dejarless or out of ~ Ottawa or maybe
maybe try and get like a Liam Dobson
1487
00:57:47,356 --> 00:57:51,850
out of out of Hamilton. But other than
that,
1488
00:57:51,850 --> 00:57:57,676
I don't see anyone on those teams that A
they're going to still trade
1489
00:57:57,676 --> 00:58:00,460
and B that's gonna necessarily fill any
needs.
1490
00:58:01,270 --> 00:58:04,588
Kenny Lawler might be asking for a trade
after this game.
1491
00:58:03,339 --> 00:58:05,844
~ man. Yeah.
1492
00:58:03,850 --> 00:58:05,945
Yeah. It's possible.
1493
00:58:07,107 --> 00:58:08,107
Yeah.
1494
00:58:07,571 --> 00:58:08,571
Yeah.
1495
00:58:08,369 --> 00:58:10,323
But one of one of the shadiest
1496
00:58:08,647 --> 00:58:09,647
Ha ha ha.
1497
00:58:10,323 --> 00:58:11,896
moments, going back to the game,
1498
00:58:11,896 --> 00:58:15,818
did you see that Jones came in and his
celebration?
1499
00:58:15,818 --> 00:58:20,992
The like I I didn't know, but it was ~
Gino Lewis celebration.
1500
00:58:16,897 --> 00:58:17,897
Yeah.
1501
00:58:20,992 --> 00:58:23,894
I'm like, ~ shade,
1502
00:58:22,258 --> 00:58:23,258
Love it.
1503
00:58:23,894 --> 00:58:26,977
well done, well played. So thanks TSN
1504
00:58:26,425 --> 00:58:27,425
Yeah.
1505
00:58:26,977 --> 00:58:30,890
commentators for letting me know about
that one because I appreciated that.
1506
00:58:31,733 --> 00:58:33,931
That is the information that we need to
know.
1507
00:58:33,931 --> 00:58:35,698
Absolutely.
1508
00:58:34,326 --> 00:58:35,326
Yes.
1509
00:58:35,836 --> 00:58:38,817
Yeah. Hey it a it does add entertainment
to it.
1510
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:39,760
It sure does.
1511
00:58:38,817 --> 00:58:39,817
But
1512
00:58:40,018 --> 00:58:43,638
yes. And before we finish off on this
Calgary game,
1513
00:58:43,638 --> 00:58:48,050
I will say as much as Calgary was the
better team through
1514
00:58:48,050 --> 00:58:49,999
it Ottawa started stumbling and bumbling,
1515
00:58:49,999 --> 00:58:54,431
they played not bad. And they did have it
down to seven points with under three
1516
00:58:54,431 --> 00:58:55,431
minutes to go.
1517
00:58:55,570 --> 00:58:56,570
Yeah.
1518
00:58:56,082 --> 00:58:59,063
And then they gave up a a long touchdown
pass to Barnes.
1519
00:58:59,063 --> 00:59:00,143
But you know it
1520
00:59:01,039 --> 00:59:03,737
It wasn't as bad as the the score makes it
look.
1521
00:59:04,708 --> 00:59:07,832
Yeah, right? ~ Well and
1522
00:59:06,433 --> 00:59:08,010
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
1523
00:59:08,554 --> 00:59:12,599
and if you are those teams on the west
about to pi play Calgary,
1524
00:59:12,599 --> 00:59:14,351
you're thinking that looks pretty good for
you,
1525
00:59:14,351 --> 00:59:17,716
but don't discount as well,
1526
00:59:15,977 --> 00:59:18,559
Yeah. yeah, don't sleep
1527
00:59:17,716 --> 00:59:18,716
right? Like if
1528
00:59:18,559 --> 00:59:20,040
on them. They've got talent there
1529
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,602
they look like they should be better than
they are in the standings,
1530
00:59:23,602 --> 00:59:27,605
but Milton says you you are what you you
1531
00:59:24,657 --> 00:59:27,406
Yeah. If they had just played McLeod
1532
00:59:27,908 --> 00:59:29,222
if they had played McLeod earlier,
1533
00:59:29,222 --> 00:59:31,479
I think they would have like three or four
games by now.
1534
00:59:31,921 --> 00:59:34,682
Yeah, quite possible. Quite possible.
1535
00:59:34,682 --> 00:59:39,804
I don't know. And I don't know if they're
gonna They've got a do they have Hamilton
1536
00:59:39,804 --> 00:59:42,155
once or twice in these last four?
1537
00:59:41,093 --> 00:59:42,988
Twice back to back.
1538
00:59:42,155 --> 00:59:43,946
Twice. So
1539
00:59:44,046 --> 00:59:47,718
So are you saying there's a chance?
1540
00:59:45,106 --> 00:59:47,787
maybe there's a chance. No, they're not
they won't be back to
1541
00:59:47,787 --> 00:59:48,787
my goodness.
1542
00:59:48,321 --> 00:59:49,321
So
1543
00:59:48,562 --> 00:59:50,057
you're saying there's a chance?
1544
00:59:50,182 --> 00:59:51,283
Yes, yes, yeah,
1545
00:59:51,283 --> 00:59:55,106
there there is. Yes, maybe. Yes,
1546
00:59:53,227 --> 00:59:56,173
What dumb and dumber? Hamilton,
1547
00:59:55,062 --> 00:59:58,930
Yeah. Well so fitting,
1548
00:59:55,106 --> 00:59:59,129
I remember that, yes. Yeah.
1549
00:59:56,173 --> 00:59:57,173
Ottawa?
1550
00:59:58,930 --> 00:59:59,930
so fitting.
1551
00:59:59,129 --> 01:00:01,171
Even more appropriate there, yes.
1552
01:00:01,451 --> 01:00:04,413
I think they play this week and then the
last week of the season,
1553
01:00:04,413 --> 01:00:08,207
not back to back. 'Cause I did notice that
next
1554
01:00:06,975 --> 01:00:07,975
no they have to play torse.
1555
01:00:08,207 --> 01:00:11,920
week Hamilton has Edmonton coming back.
1556
01:00:12,061 --> 01:00:14,025
that's right. We play Edmonton in between.
1557
01:00:14,025 --> 01:00:16,350
Just a little like refresher, I guess.
1558
01:00:16,351 --> 01:00:20,843
Okay. And speaking of that, let's talk
about the game that they did play.
1559
01:00:20,843 --> 01:00:26,334
The Hamilton 35, Edmonton 37 in double
overtime plus.
1560
01:00:26,334 --> 01:00:30,676
weird game. Weird game. We said nine field
goals.
1561
01:00:30,676 --> 01:00:32,727
Nine field goal, one touchdown,
1562
01:00:32,727 --> 01:00:35,157
two two-point conversions, if I remember
right.
1563
01:00:35,157 --> 01:00:37,588
And ~ the second one, of course,
1564
01:00:37,588 --> 01:00:41,009
with only one touchdown. The second one
was when they went to that shootout.
1565
01:00:41,915 --> 01:00:45,459
All the way through, tied right until they
got into going for two pointers.
1566
01:00:45,459 --> 01:00:48,302
Hamilton missed theirs. Edmonton took it
for the win.
1567
01:00:48,302 --> 01:00:49,573
But
1568
01:00:50,323 --> 01:00:52,556
Edmonton took nine penalties for eighty
two yards,
1569
01:00:52,556 --> 01:00:54,037
so they weren't doing well there.
1570
01:00:54,037 --> 01:00:57,740
They were not getting into the end zone
for the second game in a row.
1571
01:00:57,740 --> 01:00:59,423
I'm not sure quite what to think.
1572
01:01:00,081 --> 01:01:03,505
~ this is why we need ties, 'cause neither
team wanted to win.
1573
01:01:04,637 --> 01:01:05,637
Yeah. ~
1574
01:01:04,692 --> 01:01:05,818
Yeah, even those overtime
1575
01:01:05,818 --> 01:01:08,735
games were not impressive. They were
basically two and oats.
1576
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:08,880
No one
1577
01:01:09,222 --> 01:01:14,039
wanted to win this game. I'm glad I didn't
end up going because it was
1578
01:01:14,039 --> 01:01:19,066
so cold and windy and I'm actually glad I
didn't sit in that for double overtime
1579
01:01:19,066 --> 01:01:20,148
to watch that.
1580
01:01:20,931 --> 01:01:25,083
I was watching the game and I put it on my
P VR so I could,
1581
01:01:25,083 --> 01:01:28,886
you know, like be twenty minutes behind or
whatever and I got to the
1582
01:01:28,886 --> 01:01:32,588
end of regular time and the P VR was like,
1583
01:01:32,588 --> 01:01:34,239
Anne, would you like to delete this?
1584
01:01:34,239 --> 01:01:37,871
So I missed all of overtime. So I made it
all the way
1585
01:01:35,810 --> 01:01:38,006
no. ~ no.
1586
01:01:38,301 --> 01:01:41,523
and did not get to see all the points.
1587
01:01:41,066 --> 01:01:42,066
You missed
1588
01:01:42,020 --> 01:01:45,273
did you see Kenny Lawler on the sideline?
1589
01:01:44,282 --> 01:01:45,282
I saw
1590
01:01:45,911 --> 01:01:47,116
no, what happened?
1591
01:01:47,656 --> 01:01:50,566
didn't get that pass in the two point
shootout,
1592
01:01:50,566 --> 01:01:53,457
whatever. He was over on the sideline
yelling.
1593
01:01:53,457 --> 01:01:54,958
I think it was the receiver's coach.
1594
01:01:54,958 --> 01:02:00,679
He was screaming at him. And T SN
thoughtfully penned in tight f
1595
01:02:00,679 --> 01:02:02,460
to watch this complete meltdown.
1596
01:02:02,460 --> 01:02:03,460
And I was like, I
1597
01:02:02,482 --> 01:02:03,482
Of course.
1598
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,616
yeah, you know what? I'd be mad too.
1599
01:02:05,616 --> 01:02:10,017
Like as we said, as you know you're not
gonna win a grey cup,
1600
01:02:10,017 --> 01:02:12,308
but your family will have a nice team time
here.
1601
01:02:12,308 --> 01:02:14,869
But I he might be done. Like
1602
01:02:12,706 --> 01:02:14,730
Yeah. Yeah.
1603
01:02:14,742 --> 01:02:15,742
Well,
1604
01:02:14,932 --> 01:02:17,920
and that was my question. Did you know
that Lawler didn't have
1605
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:21,398
a reception that game? TSN. Well.
1606
01:02:19,523 --> 01:02:21,058
I did not and he was on a
1607
01:02:21,460 --> 01:02:23,908
like eighty game streak or something,
1608
01:02:23,908 --> 01:02:25,561
so that's that's
1609
01:02:23,958 --> 01:02:25,561
I know. I know.
1610
01:02:25,561 --> 01:02:26,561
I had him as
1611
01:02:26,261 --> 01:02:29,663
four for six. I was like,
1612
01:02:26,994 --> 01:02:32,463
Yeah, he did. I mean But but like for
1613
01:02:29,663 --> 01:02:31,513
what? but like but four recep yeah,
1614
01:02:31,513 --> 01:02:32,544
I know. And
1615
01:02:32,544 --> 01:02:37,025
not in critical times when he climbs the
ladder and he g he did get four.
1616
01:02:34,278 --> 01:02:35,761
okay. So he did get a reception,
1617
01:02:35,761 --> 01:02:37,956
okay. Yeah.
1618
01:02:36,192 --> 01:02:40,427
Sorry. Exaggerating. Yeah.
1619
01:02:37,025 --> 01:02:40,447
But nothing but nothing where it counted
and
1620
01:02:40,447 --> 01:02:42,427
not in overtime when they needed it.
1621
01:02:42,427 --> 01:02:46,168
And I just I don't think Frost wants to
Frost doesn't throw to him.
1622
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:52,554
But good on Hamilton defense because if
there was anything to go
1623
01:02:50,643 --> 01:02:51,808
Yeah, they actually played.
1624
01:02:52,554 --> 01:02:54,895
right this game, it was the defense,
1625
01:02:54,895 --> 01:02:56,597
which it has been for years now.
1626
01:02:56,597 --> 01:02:58,018
And so how can
1627
01:02:57,704 --> 01:02:58,704
Yeah.
1628
01:02:58,018 --> 01:03:00,099
you go from being a grey cup contender?
1629
01:03:00,099 --> 01:03:03,701
So you've built this defense and you've
built this offense and your
1630
01:03:03,721 --> 01:03:05,592
one quarterback goes down and yeah,
1631
01:03:05,592 --> 01:03:09,565
you're using your third string But to go
to the basement from being
1632
01:03:09,565 --> 01:03:12,207
a grey cup contender, like with a defense
like that,
1633
01:03:12,207 --> 01:03:14,448
is just really hard to watch sometimes.
1634
01:03:14,876 --> 01:03:19,042
Yeah. So good on the defense for showing
up.
1635
01:03:17,341 --> 01:03:19,043
Yeah. And the defense was
1636
01:03:19,043 --> 01:03:20,935
pretty they were pretty chippy and I'm
like,
1637
01:03:20,935 --> 01:03:23,327
this is how you should have played against
Ottawa.
1638
01:03:23,327 --> 01:03:25,840
I mean not Ottawa, ~ Montreal.
1639
01:03:23,913 --> 01:03:26,481
Mm-hmm. Yep.
1640
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,713
Like you should have been getting in an
Alexander's face and you didn't.
1641
01:03:25,892 --> 01:03:28,919
Yeah. In in their f yes.
1642
01:03:28,713 --> 01:03:29,713
Nobody
1643
01:03:29,474 --> 01:03:32,357
got into Alexander's face and you just let
run around.
1644
01:03:32,807 --> 01:03:36,461
And you got in Cody's face and made
everyone's life a misery and
1645
01:03:36,481 --> 01:03:40,805
you almost pulled it out. Leary Orange
dropped passes that were like hit
1646
01:03:40,805 --> 01:03:44,168
hit in the hands. Hit him in the hands,
1647
01:03:41,385 --> 01:03:47,191
Yep. Yes. And he's usually good,
1648
01:03:44,168 --> 01:03:47,592
drop. brutal.
1649
01:03:47,191 --> 01:03:48,191
yes.
1650
01:03:47,661 --> 01:03:51,725
they also let Larry Roundtree run right up
the middle for fifty five yards.
1651
01:03:51,725 --> 01:03:54,999
Basically got through the line and then
untouched.
1652
01:03:52,230 --> 01:03:55,554
Yeah, which that's like Roundtree's
1653
01:03:52,324 --> 01:03:53,324
Yeah.
1654
01:03:55,554 --> 01:03:57,636
never run so far in his Ty cat career.
1655
01:03:57,636 --> 01:03:59,958
Like probably didn't know what to do.
1656
01:03:58,177 --> 01:04:00,899
Yes. Yeah.
1657
01:03:58,756 --> 01:03:59,756
No.
1658
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:01,920
Yeah.
1659
01:04:01,319 --> 01:04:03,701
Yeah. I had no idea the field was this
long.
1660
01:04:05,194 --> 01:04:06,426
'Cause who was it that kept
1661
01:04:05,575 --> 01:04:06,575
No, I
1662
01:04:06,426 --> 01:04:09,974
getting all the penalties? Like they just
get ahead and then they get a penalty.
1663
01:04:09,449 --> 01:04:12,699
Yeah. No, that was Edmonton.
1664
01:04:09,974 --> 01:04:12,629
Was that Hamilton or was that Edmonton or
both?
1665
01:04:12,629 --> 01:04:16,457
That was Edmonton. Because
1666
01:04:12,699 --> 01:04:14,637
Edmonton was doing that. I think that's
1667
01:04:12,851 --> 01:04:15,944
That was Edmonton. They did not play well.
1668
01:04:15,944 --> 01:04:16,944
They did not
1669
01:04:16,535 --> 01:04:18,797
look like a first place team at all.
1670
01:04:18,797 --> 01:04:20,148
I just don't know if they just
1671
01:04:18,985 --> 01:04:19,985
Yeah, no.
1672
01:04:19,210 --> 01:04:20,210
So so
1673
01:04:20,148 --> 01:04:22,420
didn't bother trying this game.
1674
01:04:22,420 --> 01:04:24,801
it's been an interesting sort of series.
1675
01:04:24,801 --> 01:04:28,246
They had the couple of good games against
the Stampeders.
1676
01:04:28,246 --> 01:04:31,957
But before that they had the bye and going
into the bye they had
1677
01:04:31,957 --> 01:04:35,029
the game against Winnipeg where they
didn't play in the first half.
1678
01:04:35,524 --> 01:04:36,524
Yeah.
1679
01:04:36,119 --> 01:04:39,231
And I if I recall actually on Labor Day
they didn't start strong.
1680
01:04:39,231 --> 01:04:41,652
after those two they went into Toronto and
lose.
1681
01:04:42,672 --> 01:04:46,833
And this one they managed to win only
because
1682
01:04:44,968 --> 01:04:45,968
Tried to lose.
1683
01:04:47,054 --> 01:04:51,545
Hamilton's offense was was more inept than
what they were playing.
1684
01:04:51,545 --> 01:04:55,126
But but yeah. I mean th the the thing
that's disappointing to me about Ham well,
1685
01:04:55,126 --> 01:04:57,777
there's a lot unfortunately disappointing
about Hamilton.
1686
01:04:57,777 --> 01:04:59,818
I don't need to detail you. You're the
fans of it.
1687
01:04:59,818 --> 01:05:06,340
But really it's surprising they've won two
games since Bo went down.
1688
01:05:07,090 --> 01:05:08,120
Well one they won
1689
01:05:07,676 --> 01:05:08,676
Really.
1690
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:11,554
because Herulahu missed from like twenty
three yards.
1691
01:05:10,096 --> 01:05:13,550
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
1692
01:05:11,554 --> 01:05:15,232
And then who else would they beat?
1693
01:05:13,550 --> 01:05:15,346
And the other one they they they
1694
01:05:15,346 --> 01:05:19,797
put Trey in the second half and the riders
weren't ready to deal with that.
1695
01:05:19,797 --> 01:05:25,393
But really those are both both of those
games it was very surprising to
1696
01:05:25,393 --> 01:05:28,487
see them win and they haven't won any
others.
1697
01:05:27,646 --> 01:05:29,560
We tried
1698
01:05:28,487 --> 01:05:29,487
So yeah it's
1699
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:31,094
him out for one play this game.
1700
01:05:31,094 --> 01:05:33,570
They trotted
1701
01:05:32,999 --> 01:05:33,999
Well
1702
01:05:33,570 --> 01:05:35,273
him out there for a second. Yeah.
1703
01:05:35,154 --> 01:05:37,840
Yeah. Twice. Yeah, I know it.
1704
01:05:35,273 --> 01:05:37,859
No, it's so bad. twisty it.
1705
01:05:36,936 --> 01:05:37,936
But
1706
01:05:38,157 --> 01:05:40,299
but going back to your comment about the
elks,
1707
01:05:40,299 --> 01:05:43,882
like if we're looking at the BC Lions who
are getting things together,
1708
01:05:43,882 --> 01:05:46,704
they are clicking, they are a smooth unit.
1709
01:05:46,704 --> 01:05:50,217
Same with the riders, like they
consistently well you could argue,
1710
01:05:50,217 --> 01:05:54,390
but most of the year. And the elks started
so strong because they
1711
01:05:54,390 --> 01:05:57,212
had something to prove. Now they've proved
it.
1712
01:05:57,212 --> 01:06:01,185
and you're right. Like it's this is not
the time to let off the gas,
1713
01:06:01,185 --> 01:06:03,436
but do you have the ability
1714
01:06:03,436 --> 01:06:05,687
to keep going at the pace that you're
going,
1715
01:06:05,687 --> 01:06:07,929
especially with who you're playing.
1716
01:06:07,929 --> 01:06:09,820
I mean, they're on the bye this week,
1717
01:06:09,820 --> 01:06:14,240
so I guess that's helpful. But I don't
yeah.
1718
01:06:14,267 --> 01:06:17,380
I think that they should be putting Taylor
Powell in a little bit more
1719
01:06:17,380 --> 01:06:18,872
and give Cody a bit of a break.
1720
01:06:19,163 --> 01:06:22,705
if they win one game I think they clinch
first and then they'll probably do that.
1721
01:06:22,705 --> 01:06:24,345
'Cause yeah, they've got the bye
1722
01:06:23,718 --> 01:06:24,718
Yeah.
1723
01:06:24,345 --> 01:06:25,796
this week. They go into Hamilton.
1724
01:06:25,796 --> 01:06:28,858
If they win that maybe then Powell gets s
some playing time.
1725
01:06:28,858 --> 01:06:32,960
But I if I remember right there they've
got three games left,
1726
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,622
because of the bye. So those games are
Hamilton,
1727
01:06:35,622 --> 01:06:39,453
Winnipeg, and Saskatchewan. And yeah.
1728
01:06:37,522 --> 01:06:39,728
So that's a tough I mean Hamilton,
1729
01:06:39,728 --> 01:06:44,160
but that's that's a tough way to end the
season for all of them.
1730
01:06:42,023 --> 01:06:44,725
Well, Hamilton just took them to double
overtime,
1731
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:45,965
Yeah.
1732
01:06:44,725 --> 01:06:46,235
so you never know. And
1733
01:06:46,235 --> 01:06:47,608
and and you were saying, you know,
1734
01:06:47,608 --> 01:06:52,182
about teams that are good and that that
just finish.
1735
01:06:52,182 --> 01:06:56,977
they had started taking on that
characteristic of we'll find a way to win.
1736
01:06:56,977 --> 01:07:01,641
And frankly, looking back over the last
half the season,
1737
01:07:01,641 --> 01:07:03,723
last five or six games.
1738
01:07:04,312 --> 01:07:08,035
We were talking last week about
Saskatchewan and where are they playing
at?
1739
01:07:08,035 --> 01:07:10,706
And they'd gone through the receiver
injuries and they're starting
1740
01:07:10,706 --> 01:07:12,337
to get some injured players back now.
1741
01:07:12,337 --> 01:07:17,581
But the difference that I see in them from
this time last year was
1742
01:07:17,581 --> 01:07:20,913
you could see that they were a team that
was playing with a confidence that
1743
01:07:20,913 --> 01:07:23,185
no matter what happened, they would win
the game.
1744
01:07:23,185 --> 01:07:25,606
And that's kind of what Edmonton's doing
right now.
1745
01:07:25,606 --> 01:07:30,690
Seems to be just we'll find a way to to
get a win out of this.
1746
01:07:30,690 --> 01:07:32,801
Saskatchewan's lost that.
1747
01:07:33,251 --> 01:07:38,784
somewhat this year. They when they get
behind by seven,
1748
01:07:38,784 --> 01:07:41,045
ten points, they're looking more
flustered.
1749
01:07:41,045 --> 01:07:45,497
They're looking more like I'm don't know
what to do whereas it's just we're gonna
1750
01:07:45,497 --> 01:07:47,178
just keep doing this and we'll win.
1751
01:07:47,178 --> 01:07:50,320
And that that kind of attitude on a team
goes a long,
1752
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:54,953
long way. So can Edmonton hold on to that
attitude or does it get stripped away from
1753
01:07:54,953 --> 01:07:56,403
them in the last couple of games?
1754
01:07:56,403 --> 01:08:00,866
'Cause it only takes a couple of close
losses to start making you doubt it.
1755
01:08:01,616 --> 01:08:04,075
our basement teams taking it to the wire.
1756
01:08:04,498 --> 01:08:05,498
Mm-hmm.
1757
01:08:05,404 --> 01:08:06,549
Yeah. Yeah.
1758
01:08:05,537 --> 01:08:06,564
Yeah. Yeah.
1759
01:08:06,553 --> 01:08:07,553
I think Hamilton just
1760
01:08:06,666 --> 01:08:07,666
Hamilton.
1761
01:08:07,523 --> 01:08:11,207
was playing like this was like their last
like if they had lost this game they were
1762
01:08:11,207 --> 01:08:14,920
out of the playoffs and I think they were
just like this was like the last gasp
1763
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,753
and I just I don't think you're gonna see
this intensity from them again
1764
01:08:17,753 --> 01:08:19,304
the rest of the season.
1765
01:08:18,318 --> 01:08:19,318
Yeah.
1766
01:08:18,338 --> 01:08:20,210
Yeah. But like
1767
01:08:20,691 --> 01:08:22,833
but to have that many two and outs,
1768
01:08:22,833 --> 01:08:28,118
I don't know, you can't rely on your
defense to win you games all of the time.
1769
01:08:28,118 --> 01:08:30,070
Like like that Turnowski catch,
1770
01:08:30,070 --> 01:08:34,534
amazing, well done, great. But like I
don't know.
1771
01:08:34,534 --> 01:08:36,594
How do how do you end the season well?
1772
01:08:36,594 --> 01:08:37,594
I don't know.
1773
01:08:37,597 --> 01:08:38,597
There
1774
01:08:37,837 --> 01:08:42,441
was fifteen four fifteen field goal
attempts this game between the two teams.
1775
01:08:42,441 --> 01:08:43,441
Fifteen.
1776
01:08:44,047 --> 01:08:45,047
Yeah.
1777
01:08:44,716 --> 01:08:45,783
No like
1778
01:08:45,151 --> 01:08:46,151
Edmonton
1779
01:08:46,336 --> 01:08:48,805
Edmonton take notes, go home, be better.
1780
01:08:49,208 --> 01:08:50,208
Like
1781
01:08:49,264 --> 01:08:50,264
Seriously.
1782
01:08:49,488 --> 01:08:53,101
Well but again, to Edmonton's credit,
1783
01:08:53,101 --> 01:08:57,674
as poorly as they played, they ended up in
the last three minutes
1784
01:08:57,674 --> 01:09:02,920
of regulation of that game. They've got
the ball fairly deep in their own end.
1785
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:07,324
They throw an interception to Stubblefield
in scoring range with the game tied.
1786
01:09:08,024 --> 01:09:11,505
if their defense had not won them that
next series,
1787
01:09:11,505 --> 01:09:13,906
if they'd let Hamilton go in and score a
touchdown,
1788
01:09:13,906 --> 01:09:15,466
that game was over.
1789
01:09:15,993 --> 01:09:16,993
True.
1790
01:09:16,387 --> 01:09:20,399
But they stopped them. Stopped them so
that they had to kick the field goal
1791
01:09:20,399 --> 01:09:24,240
to go up by three, stopped them in time to
give Cody fifty two seconds,
1792
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:28,352
and that was enough for him to march them
back down into field goal range.
1793
01:09:28,352 --> 01:09:32,073
So that thing about just we'll find a way
to do it.
1794
01:09:31,757 --> 01:09:32,757
We will win.
1795
01:09:32,073 --> 01:09:33,073
We'll find a way
1796
01:09:32,754 --> 01:09:33,954
to do it. Yeah.
1797
01:09:34,704 --> 01:09:35,946
Wish my team had that.
1798
01:09:36,652 --> 01:09:37,652
Mm. Well they
1799
01:09:36,996 --> 01:09:37,996
Yeah.
1800
01:09:37,373 --> 01:09:41,898
will sometime. Very few teams have that
and ~ when they do they usually
1801
01:09:38,830 --> 01:09:43,264
No. When have the Thai cats had that?
1802
01:09:41,898 --> 01:09:42,929
end up winning cups.
1803
01:09:43,781 --> 01:09:48,045
But I don't know, like you lose a leader
like
1804
01:09:44,691 --> 01:09:46,112
Probably nineteen ninety nine.
1805
01:09:46,112 --> 01:09:47,112
I don't know.
1806
01:09:46,692 --> 01:09:47,692
Yeah, I think ninety
1807
01:09:47,500 --> 01:09:48,944
nine. yeah.
1808
01:09:48,646 --> 01:09:49,646
Danny
1809
01:09:49,067 --> 01:09:50,688
McManus, please come back.
1810
01:09:50,984 --> 01:09:51,984
Yeah.
1811
01:09:51,445 --> 01:09:52,835
But Danny, we need you.
1812
01:09:52,966 --> 01:09:53,966
Yeah.
1813
01:09:54,127 --> 01:09:57,759
But I don't know, you think like a team
rallies around someone like Cody
1814
01:09:57,759 --> 01:09:59,250
or someone like VA
1815
01:09:58,406 --> 01:09:59,406
Yeah.
1816
01:09:59,250 --> 01:10:04,260
or Rourke or Kelly, right? And and who do
you have in yeah,
1817
01:10:04,260 --> 01:10:07,972
an Ottawa and Hamilton that's really you
have a lot of faith in that
1818
01:10:07,972 --> 01:10:10,753
can throw that throw when you need it.
1819
01:10:10,753 --> 01:10:16,687
that's that's hard to go out and play when
you're not a hundred percent certain that
1820
01:10:16,687 --> 01:10:19,499
the other side of your team is gonna
follow through.
1821
01:10:18,978 --> 01:10:19,978
Well
1822
01:10:19,190 --> 01:10:20,190
Yeah.
1823
01:10:19,549 --> 01:10:20,549
this is on
1824
01:10:19,780 --> 01:10:20,780
Yeah.
1825
01:10:20,219 --> 01:10:22,811
the squarely on the Tycats front office.
1826
01:10:22,811 --> 01:10:23,811
Squarely
1827
01:10:23,737 --> 01:10:27,940
on them. For signing a backup quarterback
that their head coach would not coach.
1828
01:10:27,940 --> 01:10:31,924
And letting Powell walk. What why?
1829
01:10:28,110 --> 01:10:31,821
Yeah. Yeah, so just just a
1830
01:10:32,442 --> 01:10:34,103
such a mistake there. I don't know.
1831
01:10:34,103 --> 01:10:35,803
And and the thing is, you know,
1832
01:10:35,803 --> 01:10:40,954
you mentioned teams that a quarterback can
put on their back and carry them And yes,
1833
01:10:40,954 --> 01:10:42,246
Nathan can do that to a degree.
1834
01:10:42,246 --> 01:10:43,366
I'll give him credit for that.
1835
01:10:43,366 --> 01:10:45,867
VA at times, although he's
1836
01:10:46,597 --> 01:10:52,120
it's hit and miss. He'll do that for a
game and be fantastic and then he'll drop
1837
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:55,821
off. They they pointed out in the
broadcast this week that when VA
1838
01:10:55,821 --> 01:10:57,692
has played and they've won a game this
year,
1839
01:10:57,692 --> 01:10:59,182
they've scored over forty points.
1840
01:10:59,182 --> 01:11:03,073
So if he does it, it's great. But if we're
gonna talk about a
1841
01:11:03,073 --> 01:11:05,774
a quarterback that just puts a team on its
back,
1842
01:11:05,774 --> 01:11:09,015
you gotta say Cody. It's not Edmonton.
1843
01:11:08,060 --> 01:11:10,827
Yeah. Yep. It's cody.
1844
01:11:09,015 --> 01:11:11,276
It's Edmonton and Montreal.
1845
01:11:11,854 --> 01:11:17,427
And Saskatchewan in twenty nineteen three
times he's come in and took
1846
01:11:17,427 --> 01:11:22,249
a team either to a to a division final or
the Grey Cup.
1847
01:11:22,249 --> 01:11:24,781
this is a third try. It's just
1848
01:11:25,765 --> 01:11:29,865
And then the team just lets them and then
the team just cuts Unbelievable.
1849
01:11:27,985 --> 01:11:32,904
Yeah. Yeah. He's just he's absolutely
amazing and I cannot understand
1850
01:11:29,865 --> 01:11:32,814
Yeah, love Cody.
1851
01:11:32,904 --> 01:11:34,437
how he gets so underrated.
1852
01:11:35,187 --> 01:11:37,369
And maybe because you're a Riders fan,
1853
01:11:37,369 --> 01:11:41,151
you don't think that but I feel like
Trevor Harris gets underrated as well
1854
01:11:41,191 --> 01:11:44,754
in this league. ~ no,
1855
01:11:42,752 --> 01:11:43,800
That's generous of you.
1856
01:11:44,754 --> 01:11:46,701
but I think he does, honestly.
1857
01:11:46,701 --> 01:11:47,701
Like
1858
01:11:47,134 --> 01:11:50,466
if we're talking about an offense that
will perform for a quarterback,
1859
01:11:50,466 --> 01:11:51,532
~
1860
01:11:51,547 --> 01:11:52,547
it done.
1861
01:11:52,612 --> 01:11:56,064
it does seem like this last year and a
half they've done that for him.
1862
01:11:56,064 --> 01:11:57,714
Yes, I'll I'll I'll give you that.
1863
01:11:57,714 --> 01:12:01,166
But but again it's no Cody,
1864
01:11:59,370 --> 01:12:01,023
But no Cody, he is no Cody.
1865
01:12:01,166 --> 01:12:03,156
yeah, it's a a different level.
1866
01:12:03,156 --> 01:12:08,058
that's enough of the games. With all that
mishmash and everything that happened
1867
01:12:08,808 --> 01:12:10,193
Time for your power rankings.
1868
01:12:09,255 --> 01:12:10,255
Whoa.
1869
01:12:10,943 --> 01:12:13,204
Boy, ~ there's a little bit of movement,
1870
01:12:13,204 --> 01:12:16,474
and some people can be not so mad at me or
mad at me at will.
1871
01:12:16,474 --> 01:12:19,886
number one, aloettes, number two,
1872
01:12:19,886 --> 01:12:23,077
lions, number three, Argos,
1873
01:12:23,077 --> 01:12:25,878
number four, elks, number five,
1874
01:12:25,878 --> 01:12:28,919
riders, number six, bombers,
1875
01:12:28,919 --> 01:12:32,350
and then seven eight nine remain unchanged
with the Stampeders,
1876
01:12:32,350 --> 01:12:34,241
the Tycats, and the Red Blacks.
1877
01:12:34,991 --> 01:12:35,991
Alrighty,
1878
01:12:35,022 --> 01:12:36,022
Yeah.
1879
01:12:35,692 --> 01:12:37,112
we'll see how what people say.
1880
01:12:37,112 --> 01:12:41,566
Thoughts MJ two? Yeah,
1881
01:12:38,118 --> 01:12:42,945
So I I hope the writer fans are less mad
at me that I bumped them above the
bombers.
1882
01:12:41,566 --> 01:12:43,949
they were annoyed, but Rider fans do that.
1883
01:12:44,309 --> 01:12:46,942
They th they don't they have trouble
dealing with sort of the reality
1884
01:12:46,942 --> 01:12:47,942
of the situation.
1885
01:12:48,083 --> 01:12:49,083
Yeah.
1886
01:12:48,674 --> 01:12:53,128
Any thoughts on an MJ two? You got any y
you agree with
1887
01:12:51,951 --> 01:12:53,001
I I think this is
1888
01:12:53,128 --> 01:12:54,128
her?
1889
01:12:54,004 --> 01:12:58,410
point on, like that what we were saying
earlier about the lions peaking
1890
01:12:58,410 --> 01:13:00,332
at the right time and the elks are still
good,
1891
01:13:00,332 --> 01:13:03,246
but they're so yeah, I I
1892
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:03,840
Yeah.
1893
01:13:03,246 --> 01:13:06,611
think fourth is great. Argos are on a
tear,
1894
01:13:06,611 --> 01:13:07,611
so
1895
01:13:07,289 --> 01:13:08,289
Yeah.
1896
01:13:08,169 --> 01:13:12,422
when I was thinking about this and I do
put together in my own head what
1897
01:13:12,422 --> 01:13:16,054
I think that it would be, frankly I
matched what you had with with
1898
01:13:16,054 --> 01:13:19,737
one exception and I and I think after
hearing what you've said to
1899
01:13:19,737 --> 01:13:22,419
say I've come around to your way of
thinking and that's that I had the
1900
01:13:22,419 --> 01:13:24,441
elk at three and the Argos at four.
1901
01:13:24,441 --> 01:13:29,805
Whereas you've got them flipped and
considering the way they both played,
1902
01:13:29,805 --> 01:13:32,768
I think yeah, maybe that's a better thing.
1903
01:13:31,758 --> 01:13:32,758
Yeah.
1904
01:13:33,982 --> 01:13:36,186
Well done. We'll put
1905
01:13:34,035 --> 01:13:35,097
Unfortunately.
1906
01:13:36,186 --> 01:13:37,659
it up and let the real critics
1907
01:13:37,659 --> 01:13:39,682
see what the the they say on it.
1908
01:13:40,965 --> 01:13:45,182
Well, the top three in the power rankings
are big explosive play teams
1909
01:13:45,182 --> 01:13:49,390
and it comes of no surprise they are top
three in the league in the power rankings.
1910
01:13:47,353 --> 01:13:51,125
Yeah. Yep. Yeah, it's the way the game has
developed,
1911
01:13:49,390 --> 01:13:52,235
Yeah. Yeah.
1912
01:13:51,125 --> 01:13:52,296
which is good. I like
1913
01:13:52,296 --> 01:13:54,767
that better than the dink and dunk and you
know,
1914
01:13:54,767 --> 01:13:56,228
and then try one or two
1915
01:13:55,276 --> 01:13:56,276
Absolutely.
1916
01:13:56,348 --> 01:14:00,770
deep ones a game. That's come in because
of everybody going to the bend
1917
01:14:00,770 --> 01:14:05,922
but don't break zone defense looks and
that and it's nice to see that there
1918
01:14:05,922 --> 01:14:09,174
are teams that are finding ways to to
throw against that anyway.
1919
01:14:09,174 --> 01:14:11,458
Alrighty, so we're almost at having to
pick out who's gonna
1920
01:14:11,465 --> 01:14:12,715
be the winners this week, but
1921
01:14:13,055 --> 01:14:15,857
I'll give you what we know about the
injury reports.
1922
01:14:15,857 --> 01:14:19,018
Most of these are from day one,
1923
01:14:19,018 --> 01:14:25,339
so keep in mind that there's some players
that may just be getting veterans' days,
1924
01:14:25,339 --> 01:14:27,688
but at this point for Hamilton,
1925
01:14:27,688 --> 01:14:29,989
Peters, Wheatfall, and Reid
1926
01:14:30,519 --> 01:14:35,252
were did not participate, and Mang and
Panabaker were limited.
1927
01:14:36,002 --> 01:14:39,824
There's some big names in there and
including Reid who's their left tackle.
1928
01:14:39,824 --> 01:14:42,836
And you were mentioning earlier about
Pickett doing his backflip,
1929
01:14:42,836 --> 01:14:45,458
which I didn't see, but still impressive.
1930
01:14:45,458 --> 01:14:47,769
What's really impressive, I don't know if
you've ever seen it,
1931
01:14:47,769 --> 01:14:49,401
but Trevor Reed at his whatever he is,
1932
01:14:49,401 --> 01:14:53,833
I think he's six four and about three
forty,
1933
01:14:53,833 --> 01:14:58,146
and he does backflips. So a fairly
athletic human being.
1934
01:14:58,146 --> 01:14:59,146
It's
1935
01:14:59,940 --> 01:15:02,571
You look at it and your eyes just yeah my
lyin' eyes.
1936
01:15:02,571 --> 01:15:09,353
That can't be real. Anyway, Ottawa Cormier
and Robert Robertson Jr.
1937
01:15:09,353 --> 01:15:11,004
in I think from the D line there,
1938
01:15:11,004 --> 01:15:15,615
yeah, we did not participate. Ruffin and
Blaylock from the defensive backfield were
1939
01:15:15,615 --> 01:15:17,146
limited and so was Aiden John.
1940
01:15:17,146 --> 01:15:19,476
So we'll see how that happens.
1941
01:15:19,476 --> 01:15:20,476
Calgary had
1942
01:15:20,812 --> 01:15:25,596
Everybody that was not on a six game list
was participating and ~
1943
01:15:25,876 --> 01:15:29,619
so I'm assuming Bagleton is either back or
on the list.
1944
01:15:29,619 --> 01:15:30,900
I never looked to tell you the truth,
1945
01:15:30,900 --> 01:15:35,554
but but they had two limited. They had a
Joe Ojo limited and Choquette Limited.
1946
01:15:36,304 --> 01:15:41,397
For Saskatchewan again, nobody of note was
was did not participate.
1947
01:15:41,397 --> 01:15:44,829
Lecher Jr., Marion, and Roberson were all
limited,
1948
01:15:44,829 --> 01:15:48,481
and so was Trayvon Campbell, who's coming
off the six game list.
1949
01:15:48,481 --> 01:15:51,952
So does that mean he's in this week or
next?
1950
01:15:51,952 --> 01:15:53,514
I don't know. I hope they keep him out.
1951
01:15:53,514 --> 01:15:54,704
It'd be nice to have him back,
1952
01:15:54,704 --> 01:15:56,665
but we'll see.
1953
01:15:55,992 --> 01:15:57,176
Is this the shortest
1954
01:15:57,337 --> 01:15:59,543
their injury list has been all season?
1955
01:16:00,270 --> 01:16:01,270
Well,
1956
01:16:00,513 --> 01:16:01,513
Yeah.
1957
01:16:01,451 --> 01:16:03,953
again, a lot of people on the six game
list,
1958
01:16:03,953 --> 01:16:07,787
so so it so th the injured stuff looks at
that,
1959
01:16:04,651 --> 01:16:07,525
~ okay. So that's yes, yes, yes.
1960
01:16:07,235 --> 01:16:08,498
Smoking mirrors.
1961
01:16:07,787 --> 01:16:09,258
but but but yeah, but
1962
01:16:09,258 --> 01:16:12,631
they've got two or three defensive backs
on the sixth game list
1963
01:16:12,631 --> 01:16:16,210
and they've still got receivers on the
sixth game list and yeah,
1964
01:16:14,700 --> 01:16:17,292
Okay. I spoke too hopefully.
1965
01:16:16,210 --> 01:16:17,210
so
1966
01:16:17,852 --> 01:16:21,815
Yes yeah, exactly. it's a short list only
because everybody else died.
1967
01:16:21,815 --> 01:16:22,815
no that's
1968
01:16:21,994 --> 01:16:23,238
Yeah, that's right.
1969
01:16:22,293 --> 01:16:23,293
What?
1970
01:16:24,172 --> 01:16:25,172
Big on.
1971
01:16:25,139 --> 01:16:29,801
Yeah. BC, Bell and Cherry, both from the
defensive line,
1972
01:16:29,801 --> 01:16:32,973
did not participate. Toronto,
1973
01:16:32,973 --> 01:16:36,435
only one did not participate, and that was
Kelly with a hand injury,
1974
01:16:36,435 --> 01:16:40,697
apparently. So we'll see does that carry
through to the week or what?
1975
01:16:40,697 --> 01:16:43,899
and in Winnipeg, and again Winnipeg first
day of practice,
1976
01:16:43,899 --> 01:16:47,821
so they had a l laundry list of backups
but
1977
01:16:48,211 --> 01:16:49,912
The ones of note were Dembski,
1978
01:16:49,912 --> 01:16:52,764
Broxton and Serezna were all did not
participate.
1979
01:16:52,764 --> 01:16:56,786
The way Serezna looked Yeah.
1980
01:16:52,789 --> 01:16:54,719
~ Serezna that did not.
1981
01:16:54,005 --> 01:16:56,738
Yeah. So Rezna was like limping off the
field.
1982
01:16:56,738 --> 01:16:57,742
That looked bad.
1983
01:16:56,786 --> 01:16:58,317
Yeah. Mind
1984
01:16:58,317 --> 01:17:02,039
you, don't forget that he playing for
Edmonton last year where there there
1985
01:17:02,039 --> 01:17:04,811
was that one game where it basically
looked like they carried his lower
1986
01:17:04,811 --> 01:17:09,754
leg off separate from him and then somehow
he showed up back in the game four plays
1987
01:17:09,754 --> 01:17:11,284
later. So so I don't know. But yeah,
1988
01:17:11,284 --> 01:17:14,246
not not good. And Oliveira was limited,
1989
01:17:14,246 --> 01:17:15,246
but
1990
01:17:15,204 --> 01:17:18,638
He is every week he is, 'cause he's got
that ankle injury.
1991
01:17:17,262 --> 01:17:19,648
Yeah. Yeah.
1992
01:17:17,369 --> 01:17:18,551
He needs a break.
1993
01:17:18,638 --> 01:17:19,649
He need
1994
01:17:20,090 --> 01:17:22,933
He is getting breaks ~ they just stopped
playing him.
1995
01:17:21,996 --> 01:17:25,357
Yeah. Yes, yeah. In the second half of the
games,
1996
01:17:22,933 --> 01:17:23,995
Second half.
1997
01:17:25,357 --> 01:17:29,047
yes, yes. And Montreal Theis is back on
the list,
1998
01:17:29,047 --> 01:17:32,088
so obviously still just coming off the
sixth game,
1999
01:17:32,088 --> 01:17:33,568
but he was a did not participate.
2000
01:17:33,568 --> 01:17:36,149
I don't know if that means he'll be back
for the playoffs or not.
2001
01:17:36,149 --> 01:17:40,759
And then they're limited were Callendar
and Noel from the O line and
2002
01:17:40,759 --> 01:17:44,000
Awe as at linebacker. So
2003
01:17:44,692 --> 01:17:47,987
Game predictions, Hamilton at Ottawa.
2004
01:17:48,728 --> 01:17:50,824
You're in the top left corner there,
2005
01:17:50,824 --> 01:17:52,711
MJ two, you get the go foist.
2006
01:17:53,592 --> 01:17:55,633
~ I'm going with Ottawa this week.
2007
01:17:55,633 --> 01:18:00,801
I have a lot of hope. that their offense
is strong enough to take on
2008
01:18:00,801 --> 01:18:04,044
the Ty Cat defense, because that's how
they're gonna win this game.
2009
01:18:04,044 --> 01:18:06,587
And yeah, go Ottawa.
2010
01:18:07,337 --> 01:18:12,629
Alrighty. I will go second and take the
the alternate opinion.
2011
01:18:12,629 --> 01:18:14,450
After picking Ottawa for two weeks,
2012
01:18:14,450 --> 01:18:16,171
I'm not gonna do it a third time.
2013
01:18:16,171 --> 01:18:19,812
Sorry. I'll pick you again after you win a
game.
2014
01:18:19,812 --> 01:18:25,875
Hamilton's not playing well, but their
defense
2015
01:18:25,875 --> 01:18:30,597
is still playing good and I think that
they find a way
2016
01:18:30,597 --> 01:18:34,308
to probably probably pick off the ball a
few times.
2017
01:18:34,438 --> 01:18:36,200
Mind you, Hauser's not there anymore,
2018
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:40,774
but we'll see. I still think they get some
pressure on ~ MBT,
2019
01:18:40,774 --> 01:18:44,657
get him a little bit rattled up and don't
see Ottawa winning it.
2020
01:18:44,657 --> 01:18:46,258
So I'm gonna pick Hamilton. MJ,
2021
01:18:46,258 --> 01:18:49,201
you're the tiebreaker for the the podcast
pick.
2022
01:18:50,171 --> 01:18:54,044
Right, so Julian Hauser is gone in the
defense.
2023
01:18:54,044 --> 01:18:56,206
It that's a huge hole for them.
2024
01:18:56,206 --> 01:19:00,409
Are they gonna play like they played
against the Elks or are they going
2025
01:19:00,409 --> 01:19:05,603
to play like they've been playing the last
like month or two on defense
2026
01:19:05,603 --> 01:19:10,457
and just terrible? you know what the Red
Blacks are pretty good little ball hawks.
2027
01:19:11,227 --> 01:19:14,923
And Frost sure does love to throw
interceptions.
2028
01:19:15,894 --> 01:19:19,450
If if if I th I'm gonna when it comes down
to it,
2029
01:19:19,450 --> 01:19:21,623
I'm gonna pick MBT over Frost.
2030
01:19:21,623 --> 01:19:22,685
So I'm gonna
2031
01:19:21,939 --> 01:19:22,939
Okay.
2032
01:19:22,685 --> 01:19:23,685
say Ottawa.
2033
01:19:24,799 --> 01:19:25,940
validating my
2034
01:19:24,982 --> 01:19:25,982
Come on, Ottawa.
2035
01:19:25,940 --> 01:19:29,454
point that this is just grumpy people
talking football here.
2036
01:19:29,454 --> 01:19:34,589
The two Hamilton fans are are are bailing.
2037
01:19:34,336 --> 01:19:35,336
I hope Aiden
2038
01:19:35,117 --> 01:19:39,775
Eberhardt does his Aiden Eberhart heart
right to the Ty Cat fans in the end zone.
2039
01:19:39,782 --> 01:19:40,782
Yeah.
2040
01:19:40,256 --> 01:19:42,159
Nothing would make me happier right now.
2041
01:19:41,759 --> 01:19:43,076
I mean I'll do it right along.
2042
01:19:42,159 --> 01:19:44,072
Yeah,
2043
01:19:42,570 --> 01:19:43,928
Yes. Yeah.
2044
01:19:44,072 --> 01:19:45,464
we'll all be cheering for you.
2045
01:19:45,906 --> 01:19:49,175
Okay then. Calgary at Saskatchewan.
2046
01:19:49,175 --> 01:19:53,246
The game's in Saskatchewan. I think
Calgary looks like should be a better team
than
2047
01:19:53,246 --> 01:19:56,378
they have been. They did beat Ottawa twice
in a row.
2048
01:19:56,378 --> 01:20:00,791
Saskatchewan don't know what's happening
with their defense.
2049
01:20:00,791 --> 01:20:03,162
Will they get Eduard back for this week?
2050
01:20:03,162 --> 01:20:05,724
'Cause that would th that was part of what
hurt them.
2051
01:20:06,174 --> 01:20:09,487
Somewhat in this game. Will they still
have Bell in there as the rookie
2052
01:20:09,487 --> 01:20:11,359
as the cornerback? But even if they do,
2053
01:20:11,359 --> 01:20:17,324
I think they'll get enough pressure on VA
and I and that Calgary defensive line
2054
01:20:17,324 --> 01:20:18,566
should be playing much better,
2055
01:20:18,566 --> 01:20:20,878
but they're not getting the kind of
pressures I would expect.
2056
01:20:20,878 --> 01:20:24,210
So I'm going Saskatchewan. And we'll go
reverse order this time around it.
2057
01:20:24,210 --> 01:20:25,210
So MJ,
2058
01:20:24,771 --> 01:20:29,103
Right, I am not a hundred percent
convinced that Saskatchewan can
2059
01:20:29,103 --> 01:20:31,354
put a complete game together right now.
2060
01:20:31,354 --> 01:20:37,257
Calgary, I mean it's ditto, but I think
that the fire of the last
2061
01:20:37,257 --> 01:20:40,599
two games is burning bright, and whether
they burn out and crash
2062
01:20:40,819 --> 01:20:44,621
or they keep flying, I think that it's
still burning bright enough that
2063
01:20:44,621 --> 01:20:45,901
I'm gonna take them for this game.
2064
01:20:46,355 --> 01:20:47,355
Alrighty.
2065
01:20:47,618 --> 01:20:50,405
And MJ two, tiebreaker on this one too.
2066
01:20:51,332 --> 01:20:57,187
man. ~ I've I've been to a few CFL
stadiums and one of them has been Mosaic
2067
01:20:57,367 --> 01:20:59,809
and it is impossible to hear there.
2068
01:20:59,809 --> 01:21:03,832
So there is a real home advantage for
Saskatchewan.
2069
01:21:03,832 --> 01:21:07,645
I don't know, I think Calgary keeps
shooting themselves in the foot with their
2070
01:21:07,645 --> 01:21:10,957
penalties. And if you are in Saskatchewan,
2071
01:21:10,957 --> 01:21:13,339
there's a greater chance of that happening
and
2072
01:21:13,983 --> 01:21:14,983
That's a good point.
2073
01:21:15,161 --> 01:21:16,161
I don't know,
2074
01:21:15,852 --> 01:21:18,058
I wanna jump on the Calgary bandwagon,
2075
01:21:18,058 --> 01:21:20,696
but I think I'm gonna take the riders for
this one.
2076
01:21:20,696 --> 01:21:23,183
And a surprise to myself.
2077
01:21:21,787 --> 01:21:24,970
Ready. ~
2078
01:21:24,235 --> 01:21:25,235
Ha
2079
01:21:24,395 --> 01:21:25,395
ha ha.
2080
01:21:24,970 --> 01:21:26,851
Isn't it amazing how that happens?
2081
01:21:26,851 --> 01:21:28,112
I do this all the time.
2082
01:21:26,851 --> 01:21:27,851
Yes.
2083
01:21:28,272 --> 01:21:32,296
I go in thinking I've made a decision and
then as I talk through it,
2084
01:21:32,296 --> 01:21:33,337
nope, I was wrong.
2085
01:21:34,274 --> 01:21:35,274
You made a good
2086
01:21:34,906 --> 01:21:37,423
point about the penalties and the crowd
noise.
2087
01:21:37,438 --> 01:21:38,489
Yeah. Yeah,
2088
01:21:38,489 --> 01:21:41,560
that's to me that will be a big factor
with it.
2089
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:45,342
But well there's ~ just
2090
01:21:44,352 --> 01:21:45,352
But we'll see.
2091
01:21:45,633 --> 01:21:46,633
We'll see.
2092
01:21:45,862 --> 01:21:46,862
I
2093
01:21:46,844 --> 01:21:52,277
completely clueless here. I'm hoping and
would really love to see the riders win,
2094
01:21:52,277 --> 01:21:58,690
but I just after after my problems that I
had this last weekend,
2095
01:21:57,923 --> 01:21:58,923
froze.
2096
01:21:58,216 --> 01:21:59,689
~ you froze.
2097
01:21:58,690 --> 01:21:59,711
I mean I
2098
01:21:59,711 --> 01:22:02,152
was two and two in my picks and
2099
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:06,325
one of them by a two point conversion
2100
01:22:07,216 --> 01:22:08,216
Yeah.
2101
01:22:08,348 --> 01:22:11,993
at the end of overtime, so I have no idea
what I'm saying.
2102
01:22:11,993 --> 01:22:14,757
BC goes to Toronto.
2103
01:22:12,408 --> 01:22:13,791
It's that time of the season.
2104
01:22:15,199 --> 01:22:16,861
MJ, you get to go first here.
2105
01:22:17,913 --> 01:22:20,144
this is the game of the weekend.
2106
01:22:20,144 --> 01:22:25,177
This will this will shake out who's like
top of the pile here.
2107
01:22:25,177 --> 01:22:27,798
these two teams play very similarly,
2108
01:22:27,798 --> 01:22:33,962
but I think that BC can use their run game
more effectively when needed.
2109
01:22:33,962 --> 01:22:36,743
And their kicker is more reliable.
2110
01:22:37,634 --> 01:22:38,634
Yes.
2111
01:22:38,533 --> 01:22:41,014
What's going on? for two in your field
goals,
2112
01:22:41,014 --> 01:22:43,014
sir. Come on, get it together.
2113
01:22:43,014 --> 01:22:46,124
Yeah. Well, I don't know. What's going on
with Chad Kelly's hand?
2114
01:22:46,124 --> 01:22:47,124
That's interesting.
2115
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:49,360
Arbuckle
2116
01:22:50,015 --> 01:22:52,376
Yeah, they have Arbuckle so it doesn't
matter,
2117
01:22:52,376 --> 01:22:55,757
they I think. I this will be a good test
for the Lions defense to see
2118
01:22:55,757 --> 01:22:58,218
how good they are at dropping back into
coverage.
2119
01:22:58,218 --> 01:23:01,738
~ but I am gonna take the Lions because
that's who I'm cheering for
2120
01:23:01,738 --> 01:23:03,179
now because my team's out.
2121
01:23:03,519 --> 01:23:05,755
Okay then. MJ two
2122
01:23:06,861 --> 01:23:11,621
this one was a bit tricky but ~ based on
the last game.
2123
01:23:11,621 --> 01:23:16,355
Like the Argos are good, but did they put
together a full game?
2124
01:23:16,355 --> 01:23:22,447
Where I honestly think that B C is just
being so consistent right
2125
01:23:22,447 --> 01:23:26,209
now with how they're playing and I wanna
see Betts versus Kelly.
2126
01:23:26,209 --> 01:23:30,186
I hope Kelly isn't injured, but like I'm B
C B C
2127
01:23:28,664 --> 01:23:29,664
Yes.
2128
01:23:30,186 --> 01:23:31,227
like there's no way.
2129
01:23:31,493 --> 01:23:34,822
~ I forgot about that. I can't wait.
2130
01:23:33,639 --> 01:23:36,377
Yeah, I'm looking forward to this game.
2131
01:23:33,736 --> 01:23:34,736
Yeah.
2132
01:23:34,822 --> 01:23:35,822
I can't wait.
2133
01:23:36,904 --> 01:23:39,205
Take the entertainment where you can find
it.
2134
01:23:39,086 --> 01:23:40,086
Okay.
2135
01:23:39,205 --> 01:23:42,167
Yes. Yes.
2136
01:23:39,249 --> 01:23:41,133
~ this is gonna be so great.
2137
01:23:42,167 --> 01:23:48,450
So that leaves me. And I've been
underestimating BC for the last six
2138
01:23:48,450 --> 01:23:50,761
of the last seven games. Cause I don't
know.
2139
01:23:50,761 --> 01:23:52,262
I think I picked them on a few of those,
2140
01:23:52,262 --> 01:23:57,615
but I just I haven't seen them being as
good as everyone says they are.
2141
01:23:57,615 --> 01:24:00,697
After this last week, I think they are
extremely good.
2142
01:24:00,697 --> 01:24:02,878
And this one I'm struggling with a lot
because
2143
01:24:03,518 --> 01:24:05,509
I hadn't thought Toronto's that good
either,
2144
01:24:05,509 --> 01:24:09,380
but they keep winning games and they keep
looking better and better
2145
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:12,802
and they're at home, which really makes a
difference for that.
2146
01:24:12,802 --> 01:24:16,424
I don't know if it's not so much that I'm
worried about BC traveling across
2147
01:24:16,424 --> 01:24:20,506
the country. Toronto just seems to play
really well at home.
2148
01:24:20,506 --> 01:24:27,117
So and I as much as I try to be as
impartial as I can and not
2149
01:24:27,392 --> 01:24:29,843
Let my wants go and and hopes go into
this.
2150
01:24:29,843 --> 01:24:35,755
There is the the monkey brain that
supports the riders back here going,
2151
01:24:35,755 --> 01:24:38,507
well, BC losing would be a real good thing
right now.
2152
01:24:38,507 --> 01:24:40,748
So so this might be wishful thinking,
2153
01:24:40,748 --> 01:24:42,558
who knows? But yeah, I'll take Toronto.
2154
01:24:42,558 --> 01:24:46,139
~ I can see them maybe coming up and doing
it.
2155
01:24:46,139 --> 01:24:52,101
And then Winnipeg at Montreal to end up
the Saturday,
2156
01:24:52,101 --> 01:24:53,412
and I will say here.
2157
01:24:54,284 --> 01:24:56,156
I don't doubt Winnipeg will play well.
2158
01:24:56,156 --> 01:24:59,579
They may even come out and and look like
they're gonna win again.
2159
01:24:59,579 --> 01:25:02,642
But I don't see them holding it for a full
game.
2160
01:25:02,642 --> 01:25:08,468
Mind you, Montreal hasn't looked as solid
as they have in the in the last few games.
2161
01:25:08,468 --> 01:25:14,134
in Montreal with a chance to clinch first
place and with I'm assuming Brown in for
2162
01:25:14,884 --> 01:25:20,020
For Winnipeg and having to play the Knoll
Thorpe defense where yes,
2163
01:25:20,020 --> 01:25:24,284
he's not a a rookie, but he's not the most
experienced guy out there either.
2164
01:25:24,284 --> 01:25:25,826
I'm gonna give this one to the Als
2165
01:25:26,576 --> 01:25:29,114
I'll let the through you who jumps in
quickest says next.
2166
01:25:29,987 --> 01:25:33,282
the count of three? One, two, three,
2167
01:25:32,026 --> 01:25:35,518
You just did it for your cue. I
2168
01:25:33,282 --> 01:25:34,282
Als
2169
01:25:35,518 --> 01:25:36,672
see. Okay. ~
2170
01:25:37,977 --> 01:25:42,004
how do you think Brown's gonna handle the
crowd noise in in Montreal?
2171
01:25:42,021 --> 01:25:44,402
They are not gonna put together a full
game.
2172
01:25:44,402 --> 01:25:48,984
I mean the alouettes don't but then they
turn the gas on and like roast you.
2173
01:25:48,984 --> 01:25:52,486
and you know what Alexander's calf has had
a chance to have a little rest.
2174
01:25:52,486 --> 01:25:54,367
So yeah, alouettes
2175
01:25:55,200 --> 01:26:00,142
Okay then. And we're not in the playoffs,
2176
01:26:00,142 --> 01:26:05,484
but we are, 'cause there's one playoff
game we should probably mention this this
2177
01:26:05,484 --> 01:26:08,035
week, even though we said back five,
2178
01:26:08,035 --> 01:26:10,486
six weeks ago we're not gonna talk fantasy
anymore.
2179
01:26:10,486 --> 01:26:17,407
MJ and I are in the the C FL podcast
network league
2180
01:26:17,407 --> 01:26:18,808
for fantasy. I
2181
01:26:18,239 --> 01:26:19,239
Am I?
2182
01:26:19,068 --> 01:26:21,049
yes, I don't know have you have you
2183
01:26:21,568 --> 01:26:23,816
yeah, they didn't update the spreadsheet
you've got.
2184
01:26:23,816 --> 01:26:24,961
I should have sent that to you.
2185
01:26:24,961 --> 01:26:26,377
Yes, you are fifth.
2186
01:26:27,127 --> 01:26:28,127
Me.
2187
01:26:27,747 --> 01:26:28,747
So
2188
01:26:27,968 --> 01:26:29,852
you are in the playoffs this week.
2189
01:26:29,852 --> 01:26:32,589
Guess who's number four up against ya?
2190
01:26:33,339 --> 01:26:36,405
You? Well,
2191
01:26:33,419 --> 01:26:36,477
well done you guys. Great work.
2192
01:26:35,887 --> 01:26:36,887
Yeah.
2193
01:26:36,405 --> 01:26:37,498
~
2194
01:26:37,639 --> 01:26:38,880
Well, that's good for me then.
2195
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:40,161
Yay. I think Nathan
2196
01:26:39,121 --> 01:26:40,121
Yeah. Yes.
2197
01:26:40,161 --> 01:26:41,963
Rourke helped me out this past week.
2198
01:26:42,142 --> 01:26:43,142
he did.
2199
01:26:42,792 --> 01:26:48,923
I took Kelly and I was the only one of the
top seven scorers that didn't have Nathan
2200
01:26:48,923 --> 01:26:51,654
Rourke as my quarterback. But yeah,
2201
01:26:51,654 --> 01:26:55,086
it'll be ~ you and I in the in in
2202
01:26:54,587 --> 01:26:55,587
Fun.
2203
01:26:55,086 --> 01:26:58,943
the first showdown round, ~ the
quarterfinals I guess.
2204
01:26:57,616 --> 01:26:58,658
Okay, well
2205
01:26:58,943 --> 01:26:59,943
Mm hmm.
2206
01:27:00,143 --> 01:27:02,189
I hope I play better than the Tie Cats.
2207
01:27:02,409 --> 01:27:03,409
Yeah, hey,
2208
01:27:02,889 --> 01:27:04,551
well, you're in fifth. You're in the
playoffs.
2209
01:27:04,551 --> 01:27:06,902
So you're definitely ahead of the Ty Cats
right now.
2210
01:27:06,902 --> 01:27:09,273
And and we'll see how all of this turns
out.
2211
01:27:09,273 --> 01:27:13,526
But yeah, no, it's I gotta say you had a
you've had a very good ~ year.
2212
01:27:13,526 --> 01:27:16,438
You ended up at ~ ten
2213
01:27:15,069 --> 01:27:16,069
thank you.
2214
01:27:16,438 --> 01:27:21,412
and seven and your point scores were in
the top five or six for the
2215
01:27:21,752 --> 01:27:23,193
out of the sixteen on the league.
2216
01:27:23,193 --> 01:27:25,255
it was not a fluke that you're in the
playoffs.
2217
01:27:25,255 --> 01:27:26,255
You were
2218
01:27:26,730 --> 01:27:31,244
You did better than ~ than a lot of the
league and and definitely well earned.
2219
01:27:31,244 --> 01:27:34,867
So I'm glad you had fun with it.
2220
01:27:32,828 --> 01:27:35,964
Thank you. I did.
2221
01:27:36,936 --> 01:27:38,839
I think that's all I've got to talk about.
2222
01:27:38,839 --> 01:27:42,085
How about we'll start with MJ this time.
2223
01:27:42,085 --> 01:27:43,658
Any closing thoughts and
2224
01:27:45,091 --> 01:27:48,879
~ yes, happy baseball playoffs to all who
celebrate.

01:27:49,269 --> 01:27:52,228

2227
01:27:52,228 --> 01:27:53,228
Is that right?
2228
01:27:53,270 --> 01:27:54,973

sorry.
2231
01:27:56,906 --> 01:27:57,906
Seems rude.
2232
01:27:58,460 --> 01:27:59,783
it was just an offhand comment.
2233
01:27:59,783 --> 01:28:04,403
I saw a headline, something about Jay's
miss the playoffs or something.
2234
01:28:04,349 --> 01:28:05,349
Yes.
2235
01:28:04,789 --> 01:28:07,951
That's a whole different podcast where I
could talk about that for two hours.
2236
01:28:08,179 --> 01:28:09,179
Okay.
2237
01:28:08,762 --> 01:28:11,184
I am cheering for the White Sox and the
Padres,
2238
01:28:11,184 --> 01:28:12,905

Ready, thank you. And MJ two.
2243
01:28:28,757 --> 01:28:34,080
Yeah, I hope you all survived the full
moon energy that was happening this week.
2244
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:38,523
And yeah, if you wanna check out my
Instagram,
2245
01:28:38,523 --> 01:28:44,136
I am at MJ's Plaid Heart where I am
posting all about well football
2246
01:28:44,136 --> 01:28:48,348
but also soccer and yeah, my soccer team,
2247
01:28:48,348 --> 01:28:52,981
my now CFL team and my baseball team are
out of the playoffs.
2248
01:28:52,981 --> 01:28:54,111
So I'm just here for fun.
2249
01:28:55,278 --> 01:29:00,161
And now that you've ~ joined the early two
thousands and got a social media account,
2250
01:29:00,161 --> 01:29:01,901
I've even added it to the show notes.
2251
01:29:01,901 --> 01:29:03,823
So
2252
01:29:03,270 --> 01:29:04,270
Yeah.
2253
01:29:03,823 --> 01:29:04,823

2254
01:29:04,823 --> 01:29:08,045
just go there and you can find out how to
get a hold of MJ too.
2255
01:29:08,045 --> 01:29:14,189
Anyway, yeah a bit of a snarky snarly
podcast from us this week,
2256
01:29:14,189 --> 01:29:17,933
but I think ~ all in all we also
celebrated a lot of the good stuff
2257
01:29:17,934 --> 01:29:19,274
And we're definitely
2258
01:29:19,275 --> 01:29:23,398
Coming into an interesting four four weeks
of the season for anybody
2259
01:29:23,398 --> 01:29:29,642
who watches the Western CFL. The East is
gonna be probably playing out the strings,
2260
01:29:29,642 --> 01:29:32,844
I think, 'cause by this Saturday when when
is the Montreal game?
2261
01:29:32,844 --> 01:29:37,431
Yeah, Saturday. I suspect by Saturday
evening we'll know what the standings
2262
01:29:37,431 --> 01:29:39,102
in the in the East are gonna be,
2263
01:29:39,102 --> 01:29:40,923
other than the the crossover team.
2264
01:29:41,928 --> 01:29:43,719
Anyway, I'm babbling, patifagating.
2265
01:29:43,719 --> 01:29:48,491
Just shut up, old man. Say, for MJ2 and
MJ.
2266
01:29:48,491 --> 01:29:52,063
For until next week, this is old man
saying,
2267
01:29:52,063 --> 01:29:55,124
Get the hell off my lawn.
