GA Russell's Power Rankings Montreal - Very strong each week. Toronto - 2d string QB Cameron Dukes has looked like a starter. BC - I'm not a believer, but who else could I rank here? Sask - They've done everything needed to beat weaker clubs. I like Harris. Calgary - Maier has been looking better this year. Ottawa - Too early to decide if Brown is the real deal. Edmonton - They've scored plenty against the league's best teams, but their D needs to prove they can shut down the inferior teams. Winnipeg - Streveler is taking the quarterback sneaks, and the o-line has not made them easy. Hamilton - I've got a bad feeling. Maybe Mitchell should have retired following the 2018 Grey Cup. ***** GA Russell's Week 4 picks Edmonton over BC (upset) Toronto over Montreal (upset) Winnipeg over Calgary (Neither team inspires confidence.) Ottawa over Hamilton (I'll be picking the Ticats to lose every week until they win one.) Edited June 27 by GA Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1995, Baltimore won the Grey Cup. Wags on Twitter enjoy pointing out that an American city has won the Grey Cup more recently than a Canadian city has won the Stanley Cup. By the way, every one of the nine CFL cities has won the Grey Cup more recently than any Canadian city has won the Stanley Cup. So you would expect that everyone in Canada is rooting for Edmonton, right? Well, no. The Panthers are the Miami team. It so happens that a great many Canadians spend their winters in that area. So, many Canadians will be rooting for them rather than the Oilers. Like the World Series, the Stanley Cup Finals is a best-of-seven series. Florida won the first three games, and Edmonton won the next three. Like the World Series, a team winning the first three games is not particularly remarkable, but for the other team to come back and win the next three is extraordinary. So on Monday the teams played the winner-take-all seventh game, and Florida won. So we can continue to say that an American city has won the Grey Cup more recently than a Canadian city has won the Stanley Cup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted June 28 Author Report Share Posted June 28 On 2/7/2023 at 6:08 PM, GA Russell said: An American couple are driving through Canada, and stop at a gas station to fill up. As the man goes into the station to pay, his wife calls out to him, “Ask them where we are!” So the husband walks in, pays and asks, “By the way, where are we?” The attendant answers, “Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.” The man goes back to his car, and the wife says, “Where are we?” “He doesn't speak English." And now here we are 16 months later, and this joke is included in the July issue of Reader's Digest, on page 45! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary (decent, no more) Sask (Without Harris, maybe they should be last.) Ottawa (They've won twice.) Winnipeg (Injuries can be explained. What's the problem with the O-line?)

GA Russell's Week 5 picks Toronto over Sask (We'll see if Patterson has potential.) Winnipeg over Ottawa (The Bombers are at home.) Montreal over Calgary (Against the Als, anything good the Stampeders do will be a small surprise.) BC over Hamilton (It's easy to see the Ticats losing their next eight games.)

GA Russell Posted July 6 Author Report Share Posted July 6 Winnipeg 25....Ottawa 16 Another good game between two evenly matched bad clubs. The Bombers woke up when they needed to, and marched down the field at the end of the game to prevent the Redblacks from winning. Remember the first week when Castillo missed two field goals, and said that the balls were faulty because of their attached computer chips? So they let the kickers use balls without the chips. Castillo hasn't missed since. He kicked six field goals last night. So the Bombers finally win! https://www.cfl.ca/2024/07/06/recap-winnipeg-25-ottawa-16/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/07/05/blue-bombers-power-to-first-win-over-redblacks/ https://3downnation.com/2024/07/06/blue-bombers-go-old-school-to-beat-redblacks-earn-first-win-of-season-11-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2024/07/06/redblacks-get-kissd-in-loss-to-the-bombers-ten-other-thoughts/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-scores-today-winnipeg-blue-bombers-25-ottawa-redblacks-16-bombers-secure-home-victory/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/bombers-redblacks-game-1.7255930 https://www.cfl.ca/2024/07/06/3-stats-that-defined-winnipegs-week-5-win-over-ottawa/ ***** BC - Hamilton previews https://3downnation.com/2024/07/06/its-never-one-thing-ticats-scott-milanovich-wont-pin-latest-loss-coordinator-firing-on-ill-timed-squib-kick/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/07/06/feline-showdown-ticats-host-lions-on-sunday-night/ ***** Calgary - Montreal preview https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-schedule-july-6-2024-calgary-stampeders-vs-montreal-alouettes-tv-channels-odds/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted July 12 Author Report Share Posted July 12 (edited) I wonder if Twitter/X has changed its code in some way that prevents the tweets from appearing here as they used to. ***** I like the work of the guys at CFL News Hub, but I wish they didn't wait till the last moment on Thursday to post their picks. ***** Toronto 37....Montreal 18 Surprise! First of all, Fajardo hurt his hamstring late in the first quarter, so the Argos might have won anyway. But Dukes and the offense were able to move the ball the entire game. It wasn't the absence of Fajardo that allowed the Argos to score 37 points. Kadeem Carey and the ground game had a good night. Maybe other teams will run the ball more against the Als. https://www.cfl.ca/2024/07/11/recap-toronto-37-montreal-18/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/07/11/argonauts-open-week-6-with-win-in-montreal/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/argonauts-hand-alouettes-first-loss-of-season-as-cody-fajardo-exits-with-injury-1.2147309 https://3downnation.com/2024/07/12/cameron-dukes-makes-no-mistakes-janarion-grant-shows-no-mercy-in-argos-road-victory-over-montreal-10-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2024/07/12/hobbling-alouettes-have-no-response-to-physical-argos-seven-other-thoughts/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-scores-today-toronto-argonauts-37-montreal-alouettes-18-argos-dominate-in-road-win/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/alouettes-qb-cody-fajardo-leaves-with-apparent-hamstring-injury-1.2147268 https://3downnation.com/2024/07/11/montreal-alouettes-rule-out-qb-cody-fajardo-for-rest-of-game-against-argos/ ***** Calgary - Winnipeg previews https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-games-today-july-12th-2024-calgary-stampeders-vs-winnipeg-blue-bombers-tv-channels-odds/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/blue-bombers-winnipeg-calgary-stampeders-cfl-1.7261681 https://www.cfl.ca/2024/07/12/3-matchups-to-watch-on-friday-night-football-6/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/bombers-feeling-2x-lucky-vs-calgary/ ***** Sask - BC previews https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/salim-valji-william-stanback-brings-balance-to-bc-lions-offence-1.2147565 https://www.cfl.ca/2024/07/12/best-in-the-west-lions-riders-clash-on-saturday/ https://3downnation.com/2024/07/11/party-in-the-back-b-c-lions-offering-free-cfl-inspired-mullet-haircuts-ahead-of-annual-watermelon-smash-game/ ***** Doug Flutie says that Oregon and NFL coach Chip Kelly got his Run Pass Option ideas from Flutie's days with the Argos.

GA Russell Posted July 13 Author Report Share Posted July 13 Winnipeg 41....Calgary 37 Fun game from start to finish. Lots of lead changes. It was hot in Winnipeg (89 F high), and both defenses apparently ran out of gas by the end of the third quarter.

GA Russell Posted July 14 Author Report Share Posted July 14 BC 35....Sask 20 The Lions were clearly the better team from start to finish. McInnis had a huge day.

GA Russell Posted July 15 Author Report Share Posted July 15 Ottawa 37....Edmonton 34 The Elks lose their third straight game to a walk off field goal!
