GA Russell Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Posted June 30, 2011 Umar Ali CFL East preview http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4416669 ***** The Argos placed Steven Jyles on the nine-game injured list. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=370436 Quote
GA Russell Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Posted July 1, 2011 And the season is begun! Montreal Alouettes 30....British Columbia Lions 26 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=370531 The Als dominated the first half, but the Lions made a game of it in the second half. Quote
GA Russell Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Posted July 3, 2011 Winnipeg Blue Bombers 24....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 16 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4417034 The Ticats led until they didn't. The Bombers completely dominated the fourth quarter. ***** Toronto Argonauts 23....Calgary Stampeders 21 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4417060 Exciting game because Rob Maver hurt his leg and missed two chip shot field goals. Calgary should have won, but Cleo Lemon looked much better than usual. Quote
GA Russell Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Posted July 4, 2011 Edmonton Eskimos 42....Saskatchewan Roughriders 28 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4417359 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=370852 Surprise! Ricky Ray was sharp. What does 42 points say about the Riders' new braintrust of Greg Marshall and Richie Hall? Quote

GA Russell Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Posted July 10, 2011 Friday: Winnipeg Blue Bombers 22....Toronto Argonauts 16 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4418782 Not a well-played game, but the close score kept it interesting. ***** Calgary Stampeders 34....British Columbia Lions 32 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4418825 A snoozer in the first half with a huge number of dropped passes. I went to bed at halftime with the score 7-6. Wouldn't you know it, it turned out to be the best game of the weekend with a wild second half. ***** Saturday: Montreal Alouettes 39....Saskatchewan Roughriders 25 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4418956 Windy day in Regina. Montreal showed that they were the better team. Calvillo threw 5 TD passes to tie Damon Allen for first place in career TD passes. ***** Edmonton Eskimos 28....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 10 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4419006 For the second week in a row, the Eskimos looked better than expected, and the Ticats looked worse.

TWilson Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 Only 2 games in but Calvillo and company are looking very strong. Quote

GA Russell Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Posted July 15, 2011 Calgary Stampeders 21....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 20 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=371768 The Bombers looked surprisingly good until Buck Pierce got hurt. After that, their offense didn't do much. The Stampeders rallied over the course of the second half, but even then the Bombers would have won if they hadn't missed a 44-yard FG attempt in the last minute. Quote
GA Russell Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Posted July 16, 2011 Montreal Alouettes 40....Toronto Argonauts 17 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/anthony-calvillo-breaks-cfl-career-td-passing-record/article2099396/ The Argos were better than the final score would indicate, though obviously not in the Als' class. Calvillo set the career record for TD passes, and Chip Cox tied the record with a 108 yard fumble return for a TD. Quote
GA Russell Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Posted July 18, 2011 Calgary Stampeders 21....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 20 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=371768 The Bombers looked surprisingly good until Buck Pierce got hurt. After that, their offense didn't do much. Now we know why the Bombers couldn't do much after Buck Pierce left the game. Joey Elliot hurt his left ACL and stayed in the game anyway. It looks like he'll be out for the year. I must say that for a team that has won two out of three, the Stampeders haven't looked very good. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=371863 ***** Hamilton Tiger-Cats 33....Saskatchewan Roughriders 3 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4420672 Edmonton Eskimos 33....British Columbia Lions 17 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4420739 Both the Ticats and the Riders were winless going into this week's game. If the Riders can't stay on the field with the Ticats, who do they think they can beat? Now the Riders and the Lions are the last winless teams. BC showed nothing against the Eskimos, and were lucky to score 17 points. Remember last year when the Lions and the Eskimos got off to slow starts, and there was speculation that for the first time ever an Eastern team would cross over to the West in the playoffs? I suspect we will see that again soon if either the Riders or the Lions don't show something soon. Quote
