GA Russell Posted June 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) Toronto Argonauts 23....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 16 That means that Mark Trestman, John Hufnagel and Rich Stubler have all won their coaching debuts. That leaves it up to Sask's Ken Miller to see if he can complete the sweep. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Gam...6011016-cp.html http://scoreboards.canoe.ca/merge/tsnform..../final/W663.htm Edited June 28, 2008 by GA Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Bob Ackles has died of a heart attack. I just heard him Friday night being interviewed during the halftime of the Riders radio broadcast of their game with the Lions. I had the pleasure of having breakfast with him once in 1985. Very nice man. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto...ory/GlobeSports http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/BC/...6083301-cp.html I've been meaning to pick up a copy of his autobiography The Waterboy.

GA Russell Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 The Riders have lost DJ Flick, probably for the season, with a broken leg. http://www.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/new...61-ee609d68bc2b So they sent Ron Flemons back to the Argos for TJ Acree to replace him. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Their loss to the Ticats indicates that the Argos have a problem. They have taken away the power to call the plays from offensive coordinator Steve Buratto after only two weeks. Neither QB is happy because both expected to be the starter. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 The Argos have put Michael Bishop on waivers! Last year he started 11 games for them and won ten. I suspect that he enjoys the loyalty of his teammates in the locker room. By doing so, the Argos can determine any interest in him. If another team claims him, they can recall him, and the negotiations will commence. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home ***** David Naylor Week 3 preview http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After just three games, the Riders are the only unbeaten team, and the Bombers are the only winless team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
