Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on November 10, 2025, 04:34:47 PMWhy do you say this? 2 good teams playing well, both won hard fought games in the semis, should be a great game from a football perspective.

As a fan attending the game, these are the two teams I want to see the least out of all teams that made the play-offs.

Rod Smith and Suitor are doing the game.

They do every Cup, don't they?

My best advice? Instead of changing the field dimensions, stop spending and entire quarter of the championship game having Suitor fan boy over the half time performer and trying to get them to call a play.

Pretty sure Suitor won't be fawning over this halftime act! Didn't even know who they were.

Isn't he the guy who played Tommy Lee in the movie The Dirt?

Just realized Jason Maas and Trevor Harris intersected on the 2019 Elks which coincided with Jason being fired even though they won the ESF as a crossover.

It's a small league... And I think they were the only xover team in 10 years to actually win something (anything!) in the East?

Joe Pascucci mentioned the following event on Bonfire Sports podcast last night, about Winnipegers travelling to Fargo ND to watch the 1954 Grey Cup live because it wasn't yet broadcast across Canada.

Injury experts, help me out: Can you tough it through a hammy? Can you just ignore the pain or shoot up with killers and still run? Can you run, just not fast? Does it affect passing (body twisting / planting etc)? Can it "get worse" as the game goes on?

Just trying to gauge what is likely to happen to Alexander.

maybe you can freeze it - i had a 3rd grade tear in my hammy from racing my teenage son on our front street at 10pm one sunday night...no stretching was done

the only thing that helped was wrapping it really tight. i am by no means an athlete in prime condition like DA. it will affect not just running but throwing as well. he will have the best of care / treatment but i dont think he lasts the game.

when guys tear a hammy they typically leave the game and dont return. his may not be torn but i dont know of this was a regular season game that he would be playing.

Not a question of pain, there is muscle damage. No way to go all out. They are suggesting he will be a pocket passer only and he can control it that way. I have my doubts. He will have to run eventually and that risks further damage. Sask should be sending the house every passing down, MAKE him run.

I'll be checking out as many events as I can today. Wouldn't mind knowing which ones other people enjoy the most.

I have played with pulled hamstring (not QB but O line) and you can play by applying Heat balm to the hamstring area (keeps it warm) and then taping it tightly to give it support. It also depends to the extent the pull is, from how Alexander was moving around, it looks like a minor re-agrivation to his hamstring.
