Magnus Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Gear grinder: Getting a day off from my new job (sitting in a shack buying blueberries to turn them around for a profit), but not being able to enjoy the night off and watch the late Toronto-BC game due to an early morning interview. It's for a full-time permanent position, though - something I've been wanting for 3+ years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Agreed that a job is more important than the game. End result (Lions win) was not worth me making the choice to watch it, so I'm glad I didn't stay up for it. And I agree that collecting picked berries is worse-than-awful, but the job I got interviewed for today sounds a helluva a lot better: marketing for an engineering firm.Anyway, on to Week 3!

Magnus Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Tim Horton's coffee is our equivalent to a McD's cheeseburger. Pumped-out swill (probably laced with nicotine) designed to engage the masses in something considered to be Canadiana. If you want proof, look at any Tim Horton's outlet in Sudbury in the hours before work. Lines halfway down the street. It's sad what addictions we have.But ehh...Argos game stunk. Glad I was at karaoke last night instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their donuts aren't half bad if you're there early enough in the morning, but otherwise they degrade quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosrs1 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Today, after the Alouette-Stamps game, the Roughriders were crowned Grey Cup champs. Hear me out:Saskatchewan is the Condorcet winner (meaning they would win in a knockout tournament).All teams have lost to a team that has directly or indirectly lost to Saskatchewan. Why play the rest of the regular season or have a knockout playoff if a champion based on those methods can be determined right now?Please convince me that the rest of the season is not arbitrary.Because teams that lose to teams who've already lost to a team like Saskatchewan regularly beat teams like Saskatchewan.

NorthStar74 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Soon or later the Green Riders will have their banjos busted with a loss.. time will tell if Saskatchewan will be going to the Grey Cup game in their own home in November or not????

monkeypower Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 To answer your questions.1) Saskatchewan and Winnipeg are separated because there are three teams out west and three out east with two in the middle. The two in the middle have to be split up to ensure even divisions. The border that splits East and West right now in the CFL is the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border.2) 75% percent or teams make it because of the 4-team divisions and how the playoffs need to schedule out. The top teams get byes while the 2nd and 3rd play each other unless there is a crossover. 3) Once the playoffs start, the standings don't matter. Any team that makes the playoffs can win the Grey Cup.4) I don't see what you are getting at when you ask why the Argos were able to play the Stampeders in the finals if the Stampeders played the Roughriders in week 45) Having 2 divisions of 3 teams and 1 division of 2 teams doesn't make sense. And then having 3 divisions of 2 teams plus 1 with 3 teams the year after with the addition of the REDBLACKS (RedBlacks? Redblacks?) makes even less sense.6) I also don't get what you mean by saying having an East-West line is more important then the Grey Cup.
