The Ticats' new ballpark will be called Tim Hortons Field (apparently no apostrophe in Hortons).

The Riders remain undefeated. The Argos started strong, but faded in the first half when an interception returned for a touchdown was called back for pass interference.

The Riders' Taj Smith caught two bombs for TDs.

The Als' offense isn't looking too good with their new head coach.

A little bit more on Tim Hortons Field.

Good game between two evenly matched teams. I want to say, "two evenly matched bad teams" but it's probably too early in the season to make that judgment.

All four of the Eastern teams are now 1-2.

Heavy downpour in Edmonton the entire game. Wet ball, lots of fumbling.

The Eskimos led 3-1 at the half.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed Lawrence Tynes. Time flies. Tynes last played for Ottawa in 2003.

The Argos took control early. Lots of injuries. Neither starting quarterback finished the game.

Ricky Ray passed Danny McManus for third place in career completions.

The Als scored the first 24 points. The Stamps scored the next 35. This set a record, coming back from being down 24 in the first quarter. The previous record was 20.

Two years ago Paul McCallum set the record with 30 consecutive field goals. Rene Parades kicked four to move his streak to 29. Very, very late in the game, he attempted a 34-yarder to tie the record, but it was blocked. After the game, the league announced that because the ball never crossed the line of scrimmage, it is considered a fumble, so Parades' streak continues.

The game started slowly, but BC gained the momentum in the second quarter and never looked back.

The Riders remain the league's only undefeated team. Shutouts are very rare in the CFL.

Great game! The Als dominated, but the Eskimos got it together in the second half, and took the lead in the fourth quarter. The Als took it back, and won the game on the last play by holding the Esks on a goal line stand.

The Ticats have removed Dave Stala from the nine game injured list early, and he will play tomorrow against the Riders.

I didn't know that a player could be removed from the nine game list before the nine games were played. Since their salaries do not count against the cap, it would seem to me to be a place to stash players.

Kevin Glenn's arm still hurt from last week, so the Stamps started their third stringer Bo Levi Mitchell. He looked good, so now the question is, who will be the one quarterback the Stamps protect in the Ottawa expansion draft?

The Bombers made a game of it for a while, but the Stamps outscored them 10-0 in the third quarter, and the Bombers never caught up after that.

Rene Parades set the record for most consecutive field goals, and is now up to I think 34.

The Bombers started their second string QB Justin Goltz, and he didn't look bad.

The Ticats scored the first ten points, but after that the Riders pretty much had their way.

Darian Durant's foot has been hurting the past two weeks, so Corey Chamblin gave him the day off and played Drew Willy instead.

Kory Sheets has rushed for 100 yards all five games so far.
