Title: Closest games in a week ever.
Post by: theaardvark on August 10, 2025, 07:46:19 PM
Was that stat ridiculous? 

Every game was decided with less than a minute to go.  2 with zero on the clock, the other two with a total of 56 seconds on teh clock.

All four games won with a total time on the clock of 56 seconds.

I love what Dustin said, "Good luck week 11".

Probably the best week of games ever.

And I went 1 for 4 in pick'ems.  If the games were 59 minutes long, I'm 3 for 4.

Such a great week of Canadian ball.  Sure hope a few new fans were watching.  Most exciting league on the planet imo (especially live).

As Milt would say, no moral victories!  ;)  ;)  ;)

I honestly said the same thing on Saturday - people should be watching the Ottawa-Toronto game, it was exciting.  Bomber game not so much, but I am a homer

The "No lead is safe" motto was out in spades this weekend.

This was CFL football's chance to make some new fans in the US, not sure how many games got out on ESPN, or if the US Sports feeds picked up on any of it, during or after, but our talking heads should be on ESPN talking about how this week in the CFL was the closest every set of games in history.

The fact there were NFL preseason games on kinda steals the thunder...
