Kenny is worth every penny

There is zero rational argument you could make for this.

Nice highlight package!
Seems to have played a lot of DE but drops back into coverage at times too. Don't really see him as SAM or WIL because of his speed and size, but he would be a punishing MLB or blitzing LB it seems. (maybe Biggie future replacement??)

He's a 29 year old coming off the PR to play special teams. He is a veteran depth piece, not a future anything.

It turned out I had a kid recital to go to in the afternoon, so I couldn't possibly make it to Regina in time, so I'm watching with y'all at home.

I've found over the years that if it's a Mosaic game that I want to go to but can't, we usually win in spectacular fashion (Murphy's law).

One big ask here: don't mention the result of the OTT/EDM game in this thread!  I'll finish the last 30 mins of it after the WPG game.

Injuries just deadly this year. WTH?

[TecnoGenius]

Injuries just deadly this year. WTH?

Did I miss something new?  I just switched over to this game

[TecnoGenius]

Spidercam: yay!

Obsidian jerseys: meh

Crowd: looks ok, but I was hearing 23k numbers, which isn't pretty lame for SSKvWPG!

[TecnoGenius]

SSK wants to be physical, let's show them physical

[Blueforlife]

Receivers looking good

Turns out scouts did a good job

[TecnoGenius]

That hit and elimination of Clercius made Johnson do a doubletake on that pass.

I hope our D hits them in the mouth just as hard.  It's going to be one of those games.  They asked for it!

Looks like somebody found Ard's Blue Kool-Aid still.

[55StickCar]

We need a strong start. Can't let them get a couple of early scores on us.

[TecnoGenius]

That's a good sign that Willie can run as fast as Patterson.

Suits called Yoshi: "Oshi".  LOL.  Thinking too much of MOS?

KSB has been weak all season, horribly bad for fantasy.  Strange, because pre-injury last year he was always a great fantasy pick.  SSK has virtually no capable WR, and no QB.

Yeah Kenny sucks cut him when he comes back from injury.  There is zero rational argument to say he isn't worth his salary.

I hate 1000 yard receiver, game changers, circus catcher, deep threats.  He got hurt early.  Can still have a big year.  Story isn't over yet. 

[TecnoGenius]

That was weak holding on Ko-man.  Usually not called.  Doesn't matter anyhow, but interesting to note how Proulx's Group is going to call this one.

At least they're picking up on the always-cheating SSK ST.

[55StickCar]

How do I watch the game from the U.S.
