GA Russell Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I saw Larry Pfohl play for the Als in the 1978 Grey Cup. As you probably know, he went on to fame and fortune in pro wrestling using the name Lex Luger. He now has an autobiography out entitled Wrestling with the Devil. http://www.amazon.com/Wrestling-Devil-Champion-Professional-Redemption/dp/1414378726/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=RVSBV717YT9&coliid=I33ENPU6NB7TUJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Tonight's Edmonton-Winnipeg game will be on ESPN2 at 8:00. ***** CFL.ca Week 13 game notes http://cfl.ca/article/2013-cflca-game-notes-a-look-at-week-13 ***** Winnipeg has not had a touchdown pass in the last 18 straight quarters (278 minutes, 27 seconds). ***** The Argos have extended their lease at Rogers Centre for another four years, through 2017, but it is not likely they will play there after that. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=432322 ***** David Braley spoke at a PC fundraiser Wednesday, and said that he plans to sell both the Lions and the Argos in the next three years. He has received seven inquiries about the Lions, and three about the Argos. http://www.thespec.com/sports-story/4115735-cfl-braley-looks-to-sell-argos-lions-by-2016/ ***** This week's Ticats-Als game will be in Moncton.

GA Russell Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Edmonton Eskimos 35....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 27 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4626407 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=432376 Fun game! I've found that games between the league's two worst teams are often entertaining. Max Hall started for the Bombers, and looked good early on. To the surprise of everyone, the Bombers took a 20-0 lead. The Eskimos spent the remainder of the game chipping away, and finally caught up to tie the game at 27 with 23 seconds left in the fourth. Hugh Charles ran for a touchdown in overtime to win it. The Eskimos had scored 24 unanswered points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Hamilton Tiger-Cats 28....Montreal Alouettes 26 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4626580 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=432433 I wasn't able to listen to this game, and it looks like I missed a good one. After three, the Als led 19-13. The Ticats then scored 15 straight in the fourth. The Als scored a TD with 28 seconds left in the game to make it close, but the Ticats recovered the short kick to seal the victory. Last week Luca Congi missed two field goals, and the Ticats lost by four points. So Kent Austin benched him, and let rookie Brett Lauther play. Lauther kicked four field goals. ***** Toronto Argonauts 33....Calgary Stampeders 27 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4626645 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=432443 Another good game, and a surprise! Calgary played all three of their QBs. This was Drew Tate's first action since early July. The Stamps led 18-15 at the half, and it was tied at 25 after three. Zach Collaros had a surprisingly good game. On the last play of the game, the Stamps had the ball at the Argos 45, and they almost scored a touchdown on an open field kick!

Watched the Argos/Stamps game. It was a good game. The Argos seem to have the Stamps number. It will be interesting to see the power rankings this week. With the way Collaros is playing the Argos will have a very interesting decision to make in the off-season - which quarterback to protect (teams can only protect one before the expansion draft). Hard to imagine them not protecting superstar Ray, but he's what 33, 34? and Zach represents the future. He could well be a major star in this league.

GA Russell Posted September 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 John, I imagine that most teams will protect their young quarterback, but I have to think that the Argos won't make Ray available. We'll see! ***** British Columbia Lions 24....Saskatchewan Roughriders 22 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=432524 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4626953 Holy Toledo! What a fourth quarter! The Lions controlled a low-scoring first half. With two seconds left, Chris Garrett caught a touchdown pass to give the Riders a 9-6 lead. Even Rod and Carm thought that he dropped the ball, and that it was a bad call. The Lions came out with a vengeance in the third quarter, and took a 21-12 lead. Weston Dressler caught a TD pass with 38 seconds left in the game to give the Riders the lead. On the last play of the game, Paul McCallum kicked a 42-yarder to win it.

A real comedy of errors. Buck Pierce came in to play a little bit for the Lions in the second half, and the Winnipeg crowd gave him a standing ovation, and cheered when he led them on a touchdown drive. The Lions clinched a playoff berth with the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stamps intercepted five passes. ***** Toronto Argonauts 34....Edmonton Eskimos 22 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=432983 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/scores/final/boxscore.aspx?GAMEID=1146 What a second half! Zach Collaros was unimpressive in the first half, and Swayze Waters was just awful. As a result, the Eskimos led 22-1 six minutes into the third quarter. The Argos then caught fire, and scored 33 unanswered points! This is the first time in CFL history (going back to the late 50s) that a team has played four consecutive road games and won all four of them. With the win, the Argos clinch a playoff berth.

The Als put Tanner Marsh on the nine-game injured list this week, so they went with third-stringer Josh Neiswander. But the Als' D was able to throttle the Riders' O. The Als led 4-3 at the half. Geroy Simon broke Ben Cahoon's career receptions record.
