GA Russell Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Posted July 10, 2012 Adarius Bowman is out for the year. He tore both his ACL and MCL in his left knee yesterday. Sounds career-ending to me. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=400275 Quote

GA Russell Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) I've just finished watching the video of the Argos-Stampeders game, and it was an excellent experience. My internet connection is faster than it was last year, and I can stream video without a problem now. I recommend it. The videos of the games are put up on the TSN website immediately upon the conclusion to the game. Go to the TSN website here: http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/ Scroll down midway through the page until you see the VOD Archives link. VOD stands for Video of the Day. Clicking on that link will take you to their library. You will then see a list of games available, which I think will be all of the games since the beginning of the season. If you don't want to watch the entire game, you will notice that to the right of the list of games available you will see (once you have clicked on a game) the four quarters of the game. So you can watch any or all quarters as you choose. As I recall, last year you had to watch the entire game. This situation is much better because there are always lots of games where watching the fourth quarter would be fun even though you already know who has won. In fact, that is my only objection to the process: In order to first click on the VOD archive link, you must first see the news report of who won the game. You might try this link to avoid the website's front page, but I'm not sure how long it will last. http://watch.tsn.ca/cfl-games-on-demand/#clip718395 Edited July 11, 2012 by GA Russell Quote

GA Russell Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Posted July 12, 2012 As the link above says, Drew Tate's injury is a dislocated shoulder. I feel that this is career-threatening. As we saw with Jesse Lumsden, once it happens the first time, it's easy for it to happen again and again. ***** Anthony Calvillo's shoulder injury will not keep him from starting tonight's game. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=400317 Quote

GA Russell Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Posted July 13, 2012 Montreal Alouettes 33....Calgary Stampeders 32 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=400486 The Als played poorly, and the fans were booing. The Stamps led 32-20 with less than three minutes remaining. But the Als came back to score two TDs to win the game at the end. Quote
GA Russell Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Edmonton Eskimos 42....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 10 http://scoreboards.c...final/W1017.htm Good night for Jyles. The Eskimos built up a 32-0 lead, and coasted from there. Guess who got hurt again. This time it was his foot. ***** Saskatchewan Roughriders 23....British Columbia Lions 20 http://scoreboards.c...final/W1018.htm Great hard-fought game. The Riders are the only undefeated team left. Tristan Jackson started off the fourth quarter by returning a missed FG attempt 129 yards for the TD. 130 is the length of the field from the dead line to the goal line. Immediately before the game, the Sask premier announced that the building of a new stadium is now a definite go. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=400615 ***** Hamilton Tiger-Cats 36....Toronto Argonauts 27 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=400647 Chris Williams ran back two kicks for TDs in the first half, and caught a TD pass as well. Ricky Ray had a bad night with his acccuracy. Edited July 15, 2012 by GA Russell Quote
GA Russell Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Drew Tate has decided to have his shoulder operated on. He will miss at least four months, and maybe the entire season. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=400676 ***** I forgot to say this about the Argo game. Noel Prefontaine has been lousy by his standards so far. He re-injured his hip late in the second quarter, and the Argos had rookie Anthony Alix kicking in his place. Alix did fine. Now the Argos are looking at an import kicker named Swayze Waters. (That name reminds me of John Cameron Swayze putting a Timex underwater attached to an outboard motor's screws! Remember that?) http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=400670 Edited July 15, 2012 by GA Russell Quote
GA Russell Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Posted July 15, 2012 The Argos have signed Etienne Boulay. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=400702 Quote

GA Russell Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Posted July 16, 2012 The Argos have put Noel Prefontaine on the nine-game injured list, and have signed Swayze Waters. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=400733 ***** Despite all the talk of Marc Trestman wanting to coach in the NFL, he has agreed to a four-year extension to coach the Alouettes. Remember, the coaches' salaries count against the cap. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=400743 Quote

I'm not aware of any US cable channel currently carrying the games. Quote
GA Russell Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Posted July 18, 2012 It now looks like Buck Pierce will be out four weeks. As backup tandems go, Alex Brink and Joey Elliot are as good as there are in the league, so the Bombers are as prepared as they could hope to be. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=400805 ***** Noel Prefontaine will have surgery on his hip, and will miss four to six months. At age 38, you have to think that his career is over. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=400819 Quote

GA Russell Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Posted July 18, 2012 Jerry, that's possible, although I don't think that the NFL and the NCAA have anything to worry about. My experience at sports bars was that plenty of people would watch my Canadian league games on the tv screens during the summer when there was no other football; but after Labor Day interest in the CFL nosedived. That was also the case for the American teams selling tickets to their games in the mid-90s. Quote
GA Russell Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Rob Bagg missed all of last year with a torn ACL in his right knee. Now he has torn the ACL in his left knee. I figure this could be the end of his career. It's a real shame because I always liked him. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=400898 ***** Greg Xenakes Week 4 picks http://www.sportsnet...aspx?id=4514415 ***** The announcement of a new stadium for Regina has got the mayor of Toronto thinking about a new stadium for Hogtown. The Argos sure could use one. http://www.sportsnet...aspx?id=4514418 ***** Lowell Ullrich Week 4 picks http://www.cflblogzo...cks-for-week-4/ Edited July 18, 2012 by GA Russell Quote
GA Russell Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Posted July 19, 2012 Toronto Argonauts 25....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 22 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=400957 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4514548 Hard fought game. The Argos led for the first three quarters. The Bombers led for most of the fourth. With two minutes to go, the Argos pulled the fat out of the fire with a 37 yard TD pass and run play to Jason Barnes. The Bombers remain the league's only winless team. Quote
GA Russell Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Posted July 19, 2012 Thanks Jerry! Will you volunteer to be the Official YouTube ombudsman for CFL kick returns? The audio of that clip was the Saskatchewan Roughriders' radio broadcast with Rod and Carm, which I happened to listen to at that time. Quote
