I have added a few links to the two Friday games. ***** Sask 29....Ottawa 16 The Riders controlled the game.  Ottawa is sinking. https://www.cfl.ca/2024/09/28/recap-saskatchewan-29-ottawa-16/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/09/28/riders-claim-second-straight-victory-with-win-over-redblacks/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/roughriders-down-redblacks-to-vault-over-lions-in-cfl-s-west-division-1.2180590 https://www.cfl.ca/2024/09/28/3-stats-that-defined-saskatchewans-week-17-win-over-ottawa/ ***** Toronto 37....Montreal 31 With the Ottawa loss, the Als clinched first place.  There ought to be a word for when a team's position in the final standings is locked, so that a win or a loss has no effect.  Maybe "meaningless game" is it.  Every year, when a win means something for one team, and it is a meaningless game for the other, you don't know how serious the one team's attempt to win is. In this case, it was a great game with a number of lead changes.  The Argos won it by kicking two field goals in the final 2:20.  The Argos have been playing since 1873, and Hajrullahu set a team record by kicking 8 field goals.  This ties the league record. All of the teams are below .500 on the road except the Als.  This was the Als' first road loss since early September of last year. https://www.cfl.ca/2024/09/28/recap-toronto-37-montreal-31/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/09/28/argonauts-best-alouettes-at-home-in-back-and-forth-affair/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/liriim-hajrullahu-kicks-record-tying-eight-fgs-to-lead-toronto-argonauts-past-montreal-alouettes-1.2180685 https://www.cfl.ca/2024/09/28/3-stats-that-defined-torontos-week-17-win-over-montreal/ ***** The tickets to this year's CFL Awards in Vancouver have sold out three days after going on sale. https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/pr-2024-grey-cup-festival-ticket-sales-off-to-roaring-start-as-cfl-awards-sells-out/ ***** Now let's take a look at the standings. https://www.cfl.ca/2024standings We know that Montreal and Winnipeg have mathematically clinched a spot in the playoffs. An 8-10 record is good enough to make the playoffs.  By that standard, Ottawa and Toronto have also made it.  Edmonton's back is against the wall.  Calgary's situation isn't much better.  Sask, BC and Hamilton have three more games.  Sask and BC need one more win, and Hamilton needs two more. Notwithstanding their records, Ottawa, Calgary and BC seem to be the weakest teams currently. ***** I found last week's Plays of the Week.  

Up for Pre-Order on Amazon.  Release date Nov. 29 (my birthday - great birthday present!).

Ayler Records (no introduction needed, I guess) is offering its full digital discography (that's 165 albums you will never find time to listen to) for €265.50 (+ bullshit taxes as appropriate) at bandcamp. A lot of goodies. Go to any Ayler release and scroll down to the offer: https://ayler-records.bandcamp.com/album/mmxxiv-ad .    

That track is on Tidal, too. Looking forward to this!

I tried to figure out how to frame the jacket for the 2 disc Ellington Black, Brown and Beige but because it's a fold out, I couldn't figure out how. I guess I could cut it up and display all 4 sides.  (The actual 78 records got broken when I moved to Santa Barbara.)
