Winnipeg over Toronto,
Calgary beats Montreal,
Ottawa takes Edmonton,
Hamilton claws BC.
So, you think the refs have jobbed your team before? In the Toronto @ Winnipeg game, “Karen” was the selected contestant in the $1M Safeway and Sobey’s TD to Win. The Bombers returned the opening kick-off to the endzone, she wins a $25K entertainment center. If another kick-off (not punt) is returned for a TD she gets a $1M in a $50K annuity for 20 years.
Halfway through the first quarter this happens on a kick-off return.
Here's the $1 million penalty that will haunt Karen forever. #Argos #Bombers #CFL pic.twitter.com/Djwxg0Acht

Yep, Karen got jobbed by the CFL refs. No way that was a valid illegal block penalty.
Update: Karen got taken care of. Various sponsors have stepped up to do the right thing. Safeway/Sobeys put up a years worth of groceries. Air Miles chipped in 500,000 miles. CFL is putting up a VIP trip to the Grey Cup and the Wpg Blue Bombers put up season tickets for this and next year.
Good job.
Close but no………..such luck.
Toronto over Winnipeg
Calgary over Montreal
Edmonton over Ottawa
B.C. over Hamilton
They need another team in the league so one team doesn’t get a bye. Mexico city? Bullfights at half time?
Geez Lance, you skipping your meds again?
Wut Don said.
Geez,snaggle,my predictions are only at about 50%,so to soothe my tender feelings I’m having a medicinal white Russian in honor of the President.
Ottawa could beat Edmonton if they aren’t on their best game, but the other three are a sure thing,like Hillary’s victory.;-)
As we have seen many times publicly winning money is a nightmare for people. She’s probably lucky she didn’t win the million. Either she might find a million ways to ruin her life or everyone around her would find a million ways to ruin her life.
Ahem, ahem ahem ahem.
Wpg over Toronto.
Horrendous call! If I was Karen I’d park my ass at the end of that official’s driveway and remind him every frickin’ day that he screwed me over big time!
….No I wouldn’t, but she should.
That was bogus!
That Ref has a Russian connection,I’m certain!
Screwed over by a bad CFL ref… wouldn’t be the first time. The ref that made that call is a dumb twat. Although it does feed into the crybaby mob that don’t like sports being physical… maybe they should take the physicality right out of football like they did with Hockey, or as I like to call it, safe space hockey. Hey, in these days of participation medals and dudes who think their chicks competing against girls why not recognize that the ref made the wrong call and give Karen the money anyhow.
Welcome to the cfl Karen
Aw, c’mon, that was a clip.
I’ve been called for that when I was nowhere near the ball carrier. A clip is a clip irrespective of its effect on the play.
(I’m assuming CFL mirrors USA football rules, of course. If that’s not true, well . . . never mind.)
You gota think that with the cfl’s record of apology over it’s inept officiating that Karen has a good chance at a lawsuit against them.
The cfl has offered Karen a settlement. Season tickets for the balance of the ’17
campaign. A trip to the Grey cup and season tickets for next year.
She needs to call omar’s shyster.
No way that ref was going to allow Karen to make more than the Bombers and Argo’s combined.
At least we agree on this one tonight: Calgary over Montreal,I’d say by about 14.
btw, have you ever seen so many good passes by Ricky Ray dropped in or near the end zone in one game? I hope these butterfingered WR’s realise they are NEVER going to make the NFL, not even as water boy.
Ha ha ha ha … he took a dive like a Prima-striker in the Premier League. One touch of the finger and its DIVE time ! Its a mandatory yellow in the EPL.
Pay the lady the $ million
Allah almighty! Two wrong in a row! That hasn’t happened since………..last week.
I can only surmise that the Calgary Yahoos were SO anticipating a meeting with Justin Trudeau at the stampede later this week,they were unable to concentrate on their game.
Bo Levi overthrew half his passes, Messam killed off the ground game with a stupid disqualification,and the Defence couldn’t stop the ancient Durant or the ground game.
Now,I suppose Ottawa will beat the hell outta the Eskimos and make this three in a row!
And there goes my chance at the Sylvia Brown memorial trophy. It’s enough to drive a guy to drink.
Didn’t think Mtl had a sniff, but any day the Stumps and Li Bovine Mitchell get it handed to them is a good day, ….a VERY good day!
Woot, woot!
