GA Russell Posted August 7, 2017 Author Report Posted August 7, 2017 Jim, I haven't been to Canada in twenty years. Â Back then the prices were more reasonable than American stadiums'. If by "fare" you mean the food, beer and hot dogs were the biggest sellers that I recall. Â I don't recall local delicacies sold like at the Orioles' games. ***** In case not everyone clicks on every link, I want to point out that Travis Lulay set a league record, passing for 436 yards having come off the bench.

GA Russell Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) I want to congratulate Dana for that huge upset win tonight! Â Also, I watched the 1960 NFL Championship Game in which Chuck Bednarik played both offense and defense, and I think that tonight's game was the first I've seen since then when that was done (by Duron Carter). Â I remember the 1990 game in which Rod Hill intercepted five, and Ed Gainey's four (plus the fumble recovery) made the game special as well. Edited August 15, 2017 by GA Russell Quote

GA Russell Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) You will recall that the idea of the coach's challenge was to have the opportunity to overturn obviously bad calls.  This year the coaches got into the habit of challenging close pass interference calls.  The challenges were bogging down the games and were not being upheld.  So two weeks ago Randy Ambrosie changed the rule.  Now each coach gets one challenge per game.  In the two weeks prior to the rule change there were a total of 28 challenges.  In the two weeks since there have been only 7.http://3downnation.com/2017/07/29/cfl-commissioner-says-hes-open-changing-replay-mid-season/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/02/cfl-makes-change-coaches-challenge-video-review/#comments http://3downnation.com/2017/08/02/cfl-makes-change-coaches-challenge-video-review/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/02/davis-great-decision-ambrosie-reduce-coaches-challenges/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/02/ambrosie-wants-players-not-replay-to-decide-games/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/02/reduced-challenge-fishing-endorsed-lions-coach/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/03/brawls-ambrosie-changes-replay-bo-knows-injuries/#comments ***** Looking for the Ticats' first win, Kent Austin brought in June Jones to be the assistant head coach, and to improve the offense.  He then let Jeff Reinbold go as defensive coordinator, and replaced him with Phillip Lolley.http://3downnation.com/2017/08/02/ticats-hire-nfl-ncaa-veteran-june-jones-assistant-head-coach/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/02/video-ticats-kent-austin-hiring-june-jones/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/02/june-jones-help-ticats-not-take-austins-job/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/07/jeff-reinebold-ticats-dc-future-club-unclear/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/08/former-ticats-dc-jeff-reinebold-says-hes-headed-home/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/08/ticats-make-lollley-dc-official-notes-practice/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/08/video-head-coach-kent-austin-june-jones-new-dc-phillip-lolley/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/09/ticats-changes-riders-ridin-low-johnny-manziel-tv-ratings/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/10/jeff-reinebold-unlikely-stay-ticats-slams-disloyality/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/14/former-ticats-dc-jeff-reinebold-comes-kent-austins-defence/#comments ***** Speaking of the Ticats, they had a huge brawl at practice one day.http://3downnation.com/2017/08/01/ticats-big-scrap-practice/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/01/video-ticats-coach-kent-austin-practice-fight/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/08/01/fight-ticats-practice-means/#comments ***** Santino Filoso reviews the new new Canadian football video game.http://3downnation.com/2017/07/27/review-new-canadian-football-video-game-potential-plenty-shortcomings/#comments ***** Ottawa analysis after six gameshttp://3downnation.com/2017/07/28/nine-things-weve-learned-redblacks-six-games/#comments ***** The Eskimos have brought back Cuachy Muamba.http://3downnation.com/2017/07/30/eskimos-bring-back-canadian-db-cauchy-muamba/#comments ***** The Argos released Matt Black.http://3downnation.com/2017/08/01/argonauts-release-veteran-canadian-matt-black/#comments ***** The Redblacks signed Quincy McDuffie.http://3downnation.com/2017/08/01/redblacks-sign-former-bombers-receiverreturner-quincy-mcduffie/#comments ***** There is a Chris Jones impersonator who is supposed to be good.  What do you think?http://3downnation.com/2017/07/03/chris-jones-impersonator-absolutely-nails/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/07/08/chris-jones-impersonator-predicts-kg-interception-riders-win/#commentshttp://3downnation.com/2017/07/09/chris-jones-impersonator-win-going-get-lit/#comments   Edited August 17, 2017 by GA Russell Quote
