No luck finding a radio feed, and all I find is some random YouTuber doing his play-by-play

Nice job Calgary punter Grace - 7 yards net on your punt without anybody touching the ball!

Will Grace shank one again?

Ti-Cats making the Stamps pay - 14 points in the first quarter!

Well this game is over

At this rate if Shiltz poops the bed in the first half and the Stamps have 3 points or less, it could be Spitshine Mahoney’s CFL debut.

That whole sentimentality thing for Dickenson they were talking about earlier?

Is just him realizing what a colossal mistake he made with BLM…

He has shanked more than his share this season. He had a couple in the LDC games too.

Been watching it in the background, but I’m thinking it’s time to paint something and watch it dry instead. What a stinker! Calgary is just terrible. They have a lot of work to do.

Both the Jets game and the Yankees game are going to bump this “game” for me. Manana.

Well it’s not watching paint dry, but at home I have several boxes to go through from years ago to throw some stuff out.

Picking through all your stuff to figure out what has to be saved, for it may truly still be valuable to save, sucks.

I was going to wait for winter, but were I home tonight and watching this game on Pirate Sports Network, I might be tempted to step away for an hour and take my drink with me and get to that grind.

Yep.

Jets are blacked out. :+1:

Dodgers have three outs to git 'er done against a 5 run (going to the 9th) Mets lead. :+1:

Yankees game starts soon. :+1:

The NFL Network replay game tonight is Denver and the Saints. :face_vomiting:

So…Yankees and hoping its as epic as last night…

I will watch the baseball game and PVR the Jets game. It is on TSN in Manitoba but I forgot blacked out everywhere else. Just like we can’t see Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal (maybe there are others?) in Manitoba.

Yup we get Edmonton and on rare occasions others. Personally - since they do the blackout thing - I don’t watch any out of market games until the playoffs…

I do agree that such policy is a bunch of hooey as well!

So what was Mitchell trying to do there to keep the Stamps in the game?

Did he telegraph that interception like CFL non-legend Ron Burgundy back in the day, or what happened?

They just want to sell the centre ice thing - not buying and screw you for stupid blackouts. It was part of the TSN hockey package. I get no hockey on TSN. Might on TSN+ but not paying for that either…

Viewership for a game like tonight would be much higher without the blackout.

Similar happenings have been at hand in the US since autumn 2020 with the NHL after they had left NBC as well as with the Premier League in that same season.

The rage upon Comcast for the latter has not worked out well for them, and for the former, well Pirate Sports Network has done rather well but the NHL did not handle the problem coming for them via cord cutting en masse until early 2023 (hardly alone here), and now like I hear in Canada, they are reaching out beyond cable to try to increase exposure.

There has to be a better way though, and one or two companies are going to figure it out, to not have to go on a hunting mission to find so many games instead of like before, when it was either on your TV or it was not (of course one could have signed up for PPV then, but most don’t have that kind of money or time).

trust me, I’m cheering for the Cats the rest of the way unless they somehow meet the Lions in the Grey Ciup :smiley:
