Oilers, Elks, that virus you heard about (2019-?), and progressive politics. Chess + math in the background. Competence + Compassion always.

The Elks have scored 22.7 (!) offensive points per game in games 6-16 with Fajardo, and allowed 22.3 (!!).

Farhan said "it will be" in response to 'this year was the last of Tre Ford'.

Because obviously, when you're committed enough to a guy to sign him for three years and spend the entire offseason saying "he needs to play", you abandon him after less than five games.

"Instead of treating sustainability as a box-ticking exercise, we must view it as a product differentiator.
If we fail, we risk isolation, dwindling competitiveness and continued over-dependence on a U.S. market that is turning its back on the future."
Opinion: Climate action must be integral to Carney’s pro-growth agenda. Does Carney agree?
Environmental sustainability can be a powerful driver of competitiveness and investment

I am thankful for my mathematical ability. I am not thankful for my encounters with mathematically inept sports teams.

Looking forward to the 'official' CFL estimate giving them an 18% chance

Nightmare scenario I noticed: CGY loses to TOR, EDM beats both BC and CGY.

And yet, if WPG goes 1-1 and not 2-0 or 0-2, Edmonton loses out in the three-way tie.

Put together an estimate for the Elks playoff chances

First of all, fuck Hamilton

The Elks would have had a 4- to 5-fold increase in odds if they had the tiebreak. Easily worth taking more risk.

Yeah no he's wrong. Especially in the perfect circumstance to show it with a minute left: go 50 yards and convert a 2-pointer -- very little chance of somehow losing -- your odds become realistic.

LaPo says the gods might be with us but in my experience it's about setting up the most painful failure possible

Even when they can't get out of their own damn way

On what POSSIBLE GROUNDS can the motherfucking replay centre insert themselves???
gofortwoelks.bsky.social
If they come down with one more pick, gord they've had chances, I think they do it

Thought they needed two to start, to have a chance. Add the wacky punt.

Where can I wager on Sergio hitting a 60 yarder on the last play for WPG to lose by 12?

LMAOOOOO why you gotta make it look like this might be the night

5 points from missed FGs. More from being idiots. I look forward to checking out sooner than later.
