SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
I'm thankful that even if the Jays end up losing Bautista and Encarnacion to free agency, I'll forever have their video highlights to enjoy.
I'm thankful that the Leafs drafted Autson Matthews, William Nylander, and Mitch Marner. There is hope, and that's all we Toronto fans want from our NHL team right now.
I'm thankful for Michael Bradley scoring that second TFC goal to cut the score to 3-2 against the Impact in Montreal in the first leg. It suddenly gives Toronto a real chance of moving on to the MLS final (as a 1-0 win in the second leg wins it on away goals).
I'm thankful that DeMar DeRozan resigned with the Raptors, because I can't imagine where they'd be without his 30ppg right now.
But then again, I'm Canadian so I was thankful about this a month ago...

NFL rules question: Dallas is down 2 at their own 30 with 20 seconds left and no timeouts. They throw to Lance Dunbar in the middle of the field. He runs down the middle for 30 yards, then tosses a lateral intentionally over the head of a teammate out of bounds.
Does this stop the clock with Dallas at the opponents' 40?

I believe that would be delay of game, and since it's in the last 2:00, would include a 10 second run-off on the clock...but I'm not 100% on that, so if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me...

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all! Today, I am thankful for the Cubs World Series win and the Hurricanes finally starting to get their ish together; especially the kids on defense and Cam Ward. Well, those things and my wife and kid.
