Good play by Rasouli to save Buck's life on that sack. It could have been lights out for Buck if Rasouli doesn't slide off and take the guy coming in free. His original block got the sack, but he saved Buck from taking a big hit.
Now that I don't live in Quesnel do I need to change my handle??

I mentioned this issue in another thread before. In Commonwealth Stadium, in the sidelines, the corners are clipped so that it`s not a true rectangle. Had that receiver caught that ball, he probably would have had a TD in other stadiums.

Isn`t there CFL regulation field rules with regards to the end zone. It should be 20 yards long for a TD. But that doesn`t apply to corners. :hmm:
祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放，首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事，由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你龍年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。

Dodged a bullet. The Esks are coming on. Hope the Lions make the appropriate adjustments at the half.

The CFL fields use to be 25 yards deep until BC Place was built, they then trimmed the depth to the 20 yard endzones that we have. They are pretty good for the most part, it was really difficult during the US expansion era.

Ivor Wynne used to have cutoff corners too but I think they set it to full size a few years ago.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

We are actually playing quite well today. Buck has looked good. Hopefully he can stay healthy because Edmonton taking those cheapshots at him has me worried...

Amazing that they called it. Buck embellished it a bit methinks.
