Why is these guys still throwing $500 footballs into the crowd?

O. M. G. You're at the 5, 1st down, and you're EDM and you throw a slant at the post for an INT? And you have Rankin on your team? This is like that Seahawks Superbowl. What is going on here?

EDM OC better learn that Cody is roughly one step above garbage and the only reason they won so much is because no one could stop Rankin even though every D dedicated 3 guys to him. BC eased up on the run blitz when EDM went away from Rankin, and yet EDM didn't go back to Rankin. Instead they throw up 100 deep shots when Cody's kryptonite has always been the deep shot. And they go empty backfield to boot. It's truly dumbfounding.

Also, the heart & grit & effort & physicality by both of these teams puts us to shame. Both of these teams could have beaten us had we played either in this game. Oh ya, and the planning clearly put in by BC -- I've been begging for that level of planning and scheme tailored to a specific opponent. So, for the time being, Bene > Younger/Hall. Shameful.

a) Security will retrieve them, just like they do @PAS.

b) Or the players like blowing $500 of their own money on this?

Been doing it for 2 years now. It's not a big deal when your QB is NAT.

Lions have been doing it on and off.

From Derek Taylor:

There were 9 instances of CFL teams starting 4 Americans on the O-line last season: 6 by the Lions, 3 by the Riders. That's out of the 172 starting offensive lines.

Into this week the Lions were the only team to have done it in 2026.

Makes sense, easily trackable! Do they at least exchange them with a non-chipped football from Sergio's private stash?

Quote from: Tecno on Today at 01:02:49 AM2Q7:29 the missed/blocked convert (EDIT replaced with 🇨🇦 terminology)... the ball clearly hits the padded post, but the refs don't blow it dead immediately?

Is there some rule exception where if it's blocked it can hit the post and not be dead?

Yes there is
