congrats to the big man

He said we would continue to see him around because "there are hot dog carts everywhere these days" lol

I have a brush with Angus Reid story (feel free to invoke "cool story bro" afterwards) ... I was at Price Smart on Marine Way in South Burnaby buying a Rosemary ham and brie samich and waiting to get it grilled ... so i turn and find myself staring at the packaged prosciutto and zoning out

I hear a "hey you looking at me?" in a poorly-trying-to-sound-like-Robert-Deniro voice ... look up and its Angus Reid standing on the other side/directly behind the deli meat cooler

I say "no? *puzzled* hey ... angus reid". He had just finished a co-host hour on the radio that morning and i told him he was doing a good job and then i asked him if he knew my brother from the station ... and he said "thats funny cause i actually thought you were your brother ... thats why i said hey to you"

Yeesh, this could be problematic....

TORONTO -- The Canadian Football League is considering making pass interference subject to video review as part of a significant review of its rule book, the league revealed today.

Under a proposal to be voted on Thursday evening by the league’s Rules Committee, coaches would be allowed to challenge both called and potential defensive pass interference fouls under certain conditions.

If it passes, the CFL could become the first football league to subject pass interference to video review.

“This is more than innovative. In the world of officiating, for all sports, it’s revolutionary,” said Glen Johnson, the CFL’s Vice-President of Officiating.

“Leagues have been reluctant to subject ‘judgment calls’ to video review, and pass interference in football is the ultimate ‘judgment call”, because it involves so many subjective elements. It will be interesting to see if the Committee approves it, and whether our Board of Governors, which is our ultimate authority on rules, also ratifies it.”

Under the proposal, a team would be able use any and all of its Coaches’ Challenges to challenge a called or potential pass interference foul up to the final three minutes of a game. In the final three minutes of a game, and overtime, a team could only challenge such a call or non-call one time, and only if it still has an unused challenge and a timeout remaining.

I'm gonna miss the Braley Bowl, but I don't get why the Leos would be much more valuable than the Argos. BC Place versus BMO Field?

agreed ... its not like the Lions own BC Place although they have the sweetheart rent deal ... maybe because Argos new owners are going to have to pony up their share for BMo renovations?


/but then wasnt it a given MLSE/Bell/Rogers or some other combination would be buying the Argos ???

Just heard on the cesspool that the Lions will release Ben Archibald and Anton McKenzie...
