Edmonton still has a great offense, so if you want to see 70+ points scored in a game between two teams, watch the GREENGOLDS.

...halfway through the third quarter, 10-13.

It's Edmonton's MO to be losing badly at the half or even the third, then put up like 20+ points in the 4th.

I could see something similar in Ottawa with lobbyists, the media, and various civil servants and hill staffers. Except TD place doesn't have nearly enough booze on hand.

This will be incredible if only for the bit when they inevitably do a recap on the TSN broadcast during the game. Those dudes won't have a clue what the teleprompter will be making them say. I want to hear Matt Dunigan's thoughts (limited as they are) on Pokemon Go and I know you all do too.

*Gasp* The CFL had the audacity to do something about the Riders blatantly cheating? The poor, poor persecuted things! I'm sure they'll really miss that $26,000 in salary cap space, given that they're caught exceeding the cap every year (and that's without counting the 40-odd guys unofficially kept on the payroll).

I tried reading that until the stupidity in it hurt my brain, but he seems to be implying that the Roughriders should be allowed to do cheaty things because they have the highest attendance in the CFL, and because the penalty they did get (apparently the max allowed) was just a slap on the wrist. So who cares, right? Let them cheat however they want! Let management tamper with other teams coaches because if you're not cheating you're not trying. We're the roughriders bitch.

That was the jist of it, right?

quote:

Running back Joe McKnight, who played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders following seasons in the NFL, was shot and killed Thursday in a suburb of New Orleans.

A local law enforcement official confirmed McKnight, 28, was the victim of a homicide described as an incident involving road rage.

A 54-year-old suspect who remained on the scene was in custody.

According to local media reports, a witness described an argument at an intersection in Terrytown, La., Thursday afternoon where shots were fired.

"We are shocked to hear the news of Joe's sudden passing," Chris Jones, the Roughriders head coach and general manager, said in a statement Thursday. "We send our deepest sympathies to Joe's family, friends, and all those impacted by this tragedy."

Craig Reynolds, the club's president and CEO, added that everyone with the organization was "saddened to hear of the tragic loss."

"Losing a member of our Rider family this way is an unthinkable occurrence," Reynolds said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Joe's family, teammates and coaches."

McKnight signed with the Riders in September. He played three games and made 38 carries, gaining a total of 228 yards.

Before that, he was with the Edmonton Eskimos.

McKnight also played 41 career NFL games between 2010 and 2014 with the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets.

CFL overtime rules sure are awesome. I really like that our overtime rules are fair and balanced. :) When a CFL team loses in overtime, they don't say "man, I wish we won that 50/50 coin toss".

Just felt like posting that.
