GA Russell Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Posted October 2, 2011 Montreal Alouettes 32....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 26 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4440464 The Als dominated, but the Bombers came back in the late going. The game ended with the Als stopping Alex Brink twice from the one. ***** British Columbia Lions 33....Edmonton Eskimos 24 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4440471 The Eskimos dominated the first half, but didn't put up much on the scoreboard to show for it. As so often happens, the team that escaped the first half came back to win the game. ***** Calgary Stampeders 40....Saskatchewan Roughriders 3 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4440638 With two minutes to go in the half, the Stamps led 9-3. They scored two quick touchdowns before the break and never looked back. ***** Hamilton Tiger-Cats 27....Toronto Argonauts 12 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4440677 This loss came very close to mathematically eliminating the Argos from the playoffs.

GA Russell Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Posted October 3, 2011 Unbeknownst to me, the Riders signed Jamie Boreham last month, and today they traded him to the Bombers for future considerations. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=377312 Quote
GA Russell Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Posted October 4, 2011 Riding a six game winning streak, the Lions have vaulted to the top of TSN's power rankings for the week. [1] B.C.: Moved up two spots after winning their sixth consecutive game[2] Montreal: Hang on to beat Bombers and hang onto No. 2 rank[3] Winnipeg: Hard-fought loss to Als costs them two spots[4] Calgary: Win ends two-game losing skid; move two spots up[5] Hamilton: Won second straight; within two of top spot in East[6] Edmonton: Slide two spots following second straight defeat[7] Saskatchewan: Two straight embarrassing performances[8] Toronto:Sixth straight loss to Ticats; playoff hopes hanging http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=377323 ***** In the last minute of the game, the Bombers were awarded the ball on the Als' one due to a bad call of pass interference. Today the league fired the ref who made the call. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=377334 Quote

GA Russell Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Posted October 8, 2011 Winnipeg Blue Bombers 32....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 17 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4441745 The score makes the game look much closer than it was. With the win, the Bombers clinch their first playoff spot since 2008. Quote
GA Russell Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Posted October 9, 2011 British Columbia Lions 33....Calgary Stampeders 31 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4442027 The best game of the season so far! Seesaw battle with lots of big plays. Dave Ridgeway set the record for consecutive field goals at 28 in 1993. Paul McCallum broke it tonight by kicking his 29th and 30th. On his attempt for his 31st with 4:27 left in the game, he missed, and Larry Taylor ran it back 122 yards for a touchdown to give the Stamps a one-point lead. On the last play of the game, McCallum hit a 53 yarder to win it. Quote
GA Russell Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Posted October 11, 2011 Montreal Alouettes 29....Toronto Argonauts 19 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4442376 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4442384 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4442396 Decent game. Anthony Calvillo broke Damon Allen's record for career yards thrown. The loss eliminated the Argos from the playoffs. ***** Edmonton Eskimos 17....Saskatchewan Roughriders 1 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4442400 Durant was dressed but hurt, so Dinwiddie started and played the first half, throwing three interceptions. I think the clock is ticking on Dinwiddie. Durant played the second half and couldn't get anything done either. With the Riders' loss, the Eskimos and the Lions clinched playoff berths. Quote
GA Russell Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Posted October 11, 2011 I see now that the Als and the Stamps have also clinched playoff berths. That leaves the Ticats and the Riders fighting for the last spot. http://stats.sports.theglobeandmail.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=globeandmail&page=cfl/stand/standingAJ.htm Quote
GA Russell Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Posted October 11, 2011 This week's TSN power rankings are out. Other than the Lions on a seven-game winning streak, I would say that the top five are very close. [1] B.C.: Hold on to top spot for the second week[2] Montreal: Defeat the Argonauts and hang onto No. 2 rank[3] Winnipeg: Remain in third by downing the Tiger-Cats[4] Calgary: Close loss to Lions keeps them in top half[5] Edmonton: Dominant performance moves them up one spot[6] Hamilton: Drop into sixth after failing to beat Bombers[7] Saskatchewan: Three straight embarrassing performances[8] Toronto: Another week, another loss for the Boatmen http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=377869 Quote
GA Russell Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 It seems rather late in the year to be trading players, but today the Ticats traded Maurice Mann to the Argos. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/argos-acquire-maurice-mann-from-ticats/article2197985/ Quote
GA Russell Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 Dave Naylor Week 15 wrapup http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=377907 ***** Greg Xenakes Week 16 picks http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4442726 Quote
GA Russell Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 The Argos have released Prechae Rodriguez to make room on the roster for Maurice Mann. I suspect that Rodriguez is through. I hadn't realized that the Ticats also let go of Marquay McDaniel, and that the Stamps had picked him up. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/mann-thrilled-to-be-an-argonaut/article2198824/ Quote
GA Russell Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Posted October 13, 2011 The Riders traded Hugh Charles to Edmonton today for a draft pick. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=377936 Quote

GA Russell Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Posted October 15, 2011 Toronto Argonauts 31....Calgary Stampeders 29 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4443232 Surprise! The Argos gave the game away, and the Stamps gave it right back. The Argos had a terrific first half, and led 28-9 at the break. They did absolutely nothing in the second half, Drew Tate got hot, and the Stamps pulled ahead late 29-28. In the final minute, twice the Argos drive was stalled, but penalties gave them new life. Noel Prefontaine kicked an 18 yard field goal on the last play of the game to win it. Quote
GA Russell Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Posted October 16, 2011 Edmonton Eskimos 24....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 10 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4443449 The Eskimos controlled the whole game. Quote
GA Russell Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Posted October 17, 2011 Montreal Alouettes 27....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 25 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4443623 This was a rather dull game that became very exciting at the end. The Ticats failed on a two-point convert with 56 seconds left that would have tied the game. With the win, the Als clinched at least second in the East. ***** British Columbia Lions 29....Saskatchewan Roughriders 18 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4443660 The Riders looked great for three quarters, but the Lions scored the game's last 17 points in the fourth. ***** This year's Hall of Fame inductees were announced today: Damon Allen (who came to my 1995 Grey Cup party) Milt Stegall Tyrone Jones Jack Abendschan (whose bubble gum card I had in 1964) Eric LaPointe David Braley Peter Connellan http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4443597 Abendschan was (in '75) the league's last position player to also placekick.

GA Russell Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) This week's TSN power rankings are out. The Argos are out of last place! [1] B.C.: Eight straight wins keeps the Lions on top[2] Montreal: Win over rival Ticats means first in the East[3] Edmonton: Climbing the charts after another impressive win[4] Winnipeg: Loss to Eskimos causes drop of one spot[5] Calgary: Second straight defeat means another fall in the rankings[6] Hamilton: Still having trouble getting over hump called Alouettes[7] Toronto: Rare victory means rare move up rankings[8] Saskatchewan: Four straight losses drops Riders to the basement http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=378301 ***** The Riders are concerned that a comment made by Eric Tillman on the radio amounts to tampering regarding Andy Fantuz. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=378325 ***** John Hufnagel is benching Henry Burris, and will start Drew Tate this week. Remember, Burris was the Most Outstanding Player last year. http://www.theglobea...article2204048/ ***** With their loss to BC yesterday, the Riders were eliminated from the playoffs. Ergo, the Ticats have clinched the last playoff spot. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=378344 Edited October 18, 2011 by GA Russell Quote
