that game sat night was cray cray as the kids say ... we had peeps over for a bbq and i went inside and looked at the score and they were losing mid 3rd and thought hah shitty ... came back in with 40 seconds left in the game and suddenly they put 40 on the riders ... asked myself ... am i drunk? and i was drunk ... but the score ended up being legit

Durant's injury history has to concern Saskatchewan, how much longer will they trust him to be their #1 under centre?

I think at this point, they have little choice but to run with DD at this point and hope he can stay healthy. I think the more concerning thing at this point is the Riders defense, they had to know BC was going to run the ball to try to kill the clock late in the 4th quarter and they couldn't stop the run.

the lions o line has been amazing at opening holes this season ... heard a crazy stat that lions rushers were averaging 3.5 yards before contact

Are the Als on the verge of unraveling? How could this be, Michael Farber called Jim Popp the best GM in the league, shorely he will be able to right the ship.

Watching the Eskimos blow a 25 point lead at home on Saturday night was quite enjoyable. Also enjoyed Reilly having a hissy fit on the sidelines chewing out his O-line as he got rocked.
