I don’t know what I’m talking about, but the

That Elizabeth Blackburn was 1/10 people the Bengals sent to Mobile means she’s not only being groomed to take over ownership, she’s on an accelerated course.

Qwan'tez Stiggers - East-West Shrine Bowl Thread:
Started at right corner, played 23 defensive snaps, was targeted on the first pass, notched a PBU, and no QB ever looked his way again. 18 snaps were in the 1st quarter, one was in the 3rd quarter, and four were in the 4th. 1/5

One of the best QB’s in the

Boomer was one of my childhood heroes, but I can’t side with him here. He simply doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The CFL isn’t the beer league football he imagines it to be. It’s not the NFL either, but the talent gap between the two leagues is thin. Well done, Hodge.

This is great for U SPORTS. I also love that the TV panel immediately praised the pick and followed it up with highlights that not only featured Giovanni Manu’s talent, but also showcased the excitement of Canadian football.
Canadian OL Giovanni Manu becomes the first player selected in the NFL Draft straight from U Sports since DL David Onyemata in 2016.
Manu becomes the first player straight from the University of British Columbia to be selected in the NFL Draft.

It sounds like a line or slogan, but Toronto Argonauts tickets actually are "the best deal in town". There aren't a lot of affordable things in Toronto, but the value you get at an Argos game is unparalleled - from tickets to food to atmosphere to entertainment.

I’ve talked a lot about how great the Argos culture is this season. The players enjoy being around each other and they have a lot of fun. The key, however, is when it’s time to work, they all work HARD. It speaks to the leadership in the locker room.

So, we won the semi-pro national championship yesterday defeating a great team from Alberta. Our defence was outstanding. In the dying minutes, we recovered an onside punt and scored the game-winning TD on a dime from our backup QB. Every member of the team earned this.

6. Draft only DL/CB in rounds 3-7.
7. Go to war with a strong offense and a defense that can’t stop the run.
8. Go 10-6

The idea that something is wrong with the Blue Bombers, or that their run is over is silly. They went 14-4 and for the second year in a row were one weird play from winning the Grey Cup despite having a number of key injuries. The coaching and play-calling are just fine.

I’m curious if in your “tremendous amount of time exploring and investigating” you spoke with any of the victims. I’d like to think so, since it would be hard to conduct a “comprehensive evaluation process” while only getting one perspective on this “complex” situation.

I was cheering for the Leafs and I believe the puck went in the net prior to the stoppage. However, after seeing all the angles, I would have stayed with the call on the ice as well. I still have not seen footage of the entire puck over the line prior to the play being stopped.
