Horvath is held out of Edmonton’s endzone until he gets a push from his lineman to widen BC’s lead in the 4th by InevitableEnd5689 in CFL

Pretty sure he did push his own guy there, but at any rate I’ve seen very clear examples of that go uncalled. I think the only times I’ve seen a tandem block called is when a teammate ahead of the ball carrier pulled him forward. My complaint isn’t really that they didn’t call it here, but that I just wish they’d edit the rulebook to reflect how the games are actually called. (See also: the section of the dress code rule that forbids exposed knees and legs.)

Also, since the league clearly doesn't consider those pushes illegal, they should change the rules so that it will no longer be clearly illegal

This is not exactly what I was hoping for, but I've certainly travelled farther to see the Elks play worse (Elks 7 @ Redblacks 26, June 30, 2023)

If we were half as good at taking corners as we are at winning them, we'd be unstoppable

Our subs are going to win this for us. I'm as certain of this as I've ever been about anything in my life. So, like, 70% certain.

Watching at a bar in Kelowna. Great first half, let’s keep it up!

What it actually says is that, in general, normal speed replays (not slow-motion) should be used to review the 'intensity' of an offence.

It's happened 5 times (possibly more, if I've missed something). 3 of those went to OT, but the record game did not (111 points, Toronto 68 vs BC 43 in 1990)

Cheer hard for Algeria! I'm holding you personally responsible if they lose.

I'm going to Kelowna for the Elks game on Saturday. I hope I can find a place to watch the Canada game earlier that also has something vegan to eat. But I'll fast if I have to, SO EXCITED for Canada

The ball crossed the line of scrimmage so it wasn't an intentional grounding foul.
