I’m going to miss him.
Probably the most outgoing and fun QB to play the game. Definitely one of the best. He never got the break he deserved in Saskatchewan or Hamilton, he did in Calgary and Ottawa and it showed.
Good luck Hank!

Continuing on their road to Grey Cup, the Riders have signed Khalif Mitchell.
On the day the new stadium is signed over to the City.

Oh…that Khalif Mitchell.
Umm, go Bombers?

Thank you, Robo-Kicker.

Let it all hang out…kinda like Hank on that last throw.

The eastern Semi-Final was one of the best play-off games I’ve seen. Here is hoping the Western Final is as good.
Hear the deciding play:

Burris to Ellingson 93 yards for a TD 34-28 #Redblacks Listen: https://t.co/DzgVAVt5CV @TSN1200

The Lions? Win the Grey Cup? I don’t think so.
My money:
Edmonton beats Calgary in the West Final
Ottawa beats Toronto in the East Final
Henry Burris wins the Grey Cup.

Whoever had Tom Higgins as the first CFL coach to be fired this year, you win.

Today is the first round of cuts in the CFL. Teams must get to 65 by end of day.
Thank you and good luck to all the athletes that give their all, but come up short.

Mtl. Alouettes clarify the Michael Sam situation and why he left training camp.
I’m sure.

Winter is over.

BREAKING: #Ticats announce video of tonight's preseason game will be streamed live on Ticats.ca. DETAILS > http://t.co/Lxb3hsA9vs

The Board of Governors have approved most of the changes the Rules Committee submitted earlier. You may recall us talking about it.
Heh, darn, no three point convert….

Pending approval by the Board of Governors, related Tsn story. (Video links) It would be rare that the BoG doesn’t approve these changes. It was the coaches and officials who are submitting them.
Highlights:

• On a punt, the 5 interior Offensive Linemen can’t advance past the line of scrimmage until the punt is caught.
• No-Yards, five yard version: to be applied from the end of the play rather than at the point of reception.
• Point After attempt: single convert moved back to the 32 yard line from the 12.
• Two Point After attempt: moved up to the three yard line from the five.
• Defensive contact allowed within five yards of the line of scrimmage.
• Contact beyond five yards will be a penalty if it impedes a player. (less ambiguity)
• Offensive Pass Interference will be reviewable.
• Coach requested measurements are disallowed.

And a bonus for pre-season; Point after attempt: if the scoring team elects to take the ball on the ten for a try they can score three points.
All in all, I really like except for the extra video review. I don’t think the booth in Toronto proved their value last year and I don’t think taking the call from the officials on the field is a good idea.
Restricting the OL’s from initial coverage on a punt is good for both sides. The receiving team has a bit more space for run backs and the OLmen won’t get as tired.
Moving the five yard no-yards penalty to the end of the play is good. It was infuriating to have a foot or back-peddling coverage cost the return team tonnes of yards.
I love the PAT proposals. Here’s hoping for many more two-point tries.
I’m so-so on the secondary/receiver contact rules. I think they’re just to help clarify intent of other rules rather than as a change.
I’m very positive on restricting coach requested measurements. They really slowed the game down. Especially after a 2nd or 3rd and inches pile-up. They stopped the game and never accomplished a thing except give everyone a breather.
I even like the three point convert! That, like the rouge, could be a huge late-game play. I hope we see it used in the preseason.

Head says Calgary takes it. Heart hopes Hamilton does.

If you’re a football fan in Saskatchewan, game day is awesome. You have not one, but two, radio stations providing multiple hours of pre and post game shows.
So, at about 3 or so…..bye, cause this, um, “horrible human being” is going to be cheering on the Green and White to try and kick some Eskie butt.
There may be beer involved.

RIP Pigskin.

Durant to undergo surgery. Likely out for the season.
Non-football fans may not understand Saskatchewan football passion, but let me assure you, this is the top story here. It will be for a while, up to and maybe including a nuclear strike.
