Please , if there is a god , don’t let andre proulx anywhere near the Riders / Bombers game. And lets hope that silent Ambosie actually does something about the completely horrible Command Center. Here’s a suggestion…get rid of it.
It’s been an interesting season so far. Last year anyone could get 70%+ of their predictions right - not this year. Anything can happen in any game and teams are winning when they should lose and vice versa. Note that Nye and O’Leary have different predictions for each game. As Nye is 33-15 and O’Leary 22-26, I’ll go with Nye, but no guarantees this year.
Yes, it’s a troublesome year for predictions. I noted
That Nye (33 &15) & Steinberg (22 & 26) have the same picks this week…I too will go with Nye as he is more correct more often
But wait…the game isn’t over…the Comedy Center just noticed that there
was a possible infraction way over in the other side of the field,sixty yards from
the action. ( what could it be…was someone a half inch offside? Did someone
say a naughty word that will require a 15 yard penalty…did a ref imagine that
it happened? Stay tuned…the Comedy Center should have a decision within the
hour. )
Technology cannot be avoided in sports. But how to get it validate or verify who is right and accuracy of it?
We used to live in the conventional system. In my opinion the field referees SHOULD have the final say. Technology can HELP them not DECIDE.
In any sports, the umpires or the referees should have the final say, with or without the help of technology.
Otherwise we will have the mess like what we have in CFL.
Reply to Sams…The team that I support…the Roughriders…sure did seem to
get a lot of calls against them in the 4th quarter of recent games where they
played down east ( in montreal , ottawa , and toronto ). Not that I’m singling out
the Riders…I believe that all western teams that play in the east are subject to
EBHR. And of course that is…eastern bias by HOMER refs. It exists. It is a real
thing. The very worst proponent of this is andre proulx…but in fact all of the
zebras give a little 4th quarter…boost…to the eastern HOME team. Re-watch
film of the 4th quarter ( and OTs ) of recent games for proof. Mysterious 10 or 15
yard misconducts called against the western club…penalties on EVERY kicking
play? Pretty easy to swing a close game the way you want it to go if you are a
seasoned long-term cheat like proulx. I’ve read clips by football commentators
and fans alike bragging up how wonderful the East division is doing this year…
but it rings kinda hollow when you delve a bit deeper.
Don’t expect any fairness from Ambrosie…or his Comedy Center minions. You’d
be better off waiting for the second coming. That’s my rant , thank you very
much for listening.
Reply to …WeGotNoCup Non-Star…Deepest sympathy to your poor
long suffering family. Suppose they have learned infinite patience over the years.
Keep waving your arms and shouting…maybe someone will take pity and
throw you an anchor. Go wipe your nose. And stop drooling.
Don’t be nailing so fast. Home teams hold a distinct advantage on Labour Day Weekend. Strangely it seems the weaker the team appears the more you gotta look out…
I have no idea about your info. Not sure you think that this is only for this year or previous years too. CFL is a club. They have all 9 teams are members. There is a rating on umpires in this league. Each team can address their issue during post season. If you have the right evidence you can talk about this in the media/social media in public. If your evidence are right, it is not disposable and all western fans comes behind you for sure.
I watch each game in CFL (live/recorded). I can help you if you need any assistance on this.
