PVRing Sept 9

All 3 games continuous on TSN3 only. They may do some switching. Where to though? Could be a tricky day. Hopefully, all the TSN3 go to completion.

How did it work out?

So far so good for me.  We got really lucky the 1st 2 games only went around 2.30, so no overlap.  So I think recording just the 1 channel for 10 hours (just in case) was all that was required.

Golf can bite me.

How did it work out?

All good. Only the last game went a hair beyond 3hrs. The other 2 were easily under. Maybe just a one off today, but I don't think that generally would have happened in past years. Good on the CFL if they've sped up their games a bit.

Did anyone else catch the Dinwiddie fbomb drop and comment about killing the game that was caught on screen, hot miced with 15 seconds left in the first half? 

Any idea who he was talking to, or about what?

Ya, booth commented (apologized) too.  Funny, because they catch fbombs on the sidelines from players all the time and I haven't heard an apology in ages.  I guess it's "bigger" when a HC does it.

Dinwiddie drops another one later, but it's much more muted in the background.

The first big fbomb he was talking to the refs.  Either talking directly to the refs, or talking to his team in general making fun of the refs.  It was about the refs taking forever and slowing the game down when TOR was on a roll.  Something about that's what's ruining our league.

Dinwiddie is getting progressively more high-strung, and acting a bit entitled IMHO.  I think having the GC and most-wins team right now is getting to him.  I prefer our much more even-keeled MOS.  Wackiness by Dinwiddie might lead to game mistakes and a big loss...

The Bomber game went quick because there were no challenges, no injuries that kept a player on the field for a long time and with the score both teams didn't use all their timeouts.

And because both WPG and SSK were killing the clock on every play from the opening whistle.  Zach was sooo close to taking a TC on many occasions.  Many snaps between 0-1s.

The surprise was SSK doing the same thing even when down by 2 then 3 then 4 TDs.  You think if you're down 2 TD then you want to go fast to catch up.  Nope, SSK wanted that game over in the 1st Q.

PVR note for tonight Fri Sep 15: the 2 games will probably have overlap as they only allocated 2.5 hrs for the 1st game before the 2nd game starts.
