GA Russell Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Posted June 28, 2013 dgs, the Stamps' home opener will kickoff tonight at 10 eastern. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=426503 ***** Montreal Alouettes 38....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 33 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=426482 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4604870 Great ballgame! Great way to start the season! The Als were the better team, but the Bombers had the lead most of the second half. I noticed watching the game that Sean Whyte's pant legs do not reach down to his knees. It's like he is wearing tight bermuda shorts. His red hose covers his knees. That's the first time I've seen a player look like that. Quote

Swayze Waters hurt himself, apparently pulling a leg muscle. As a result, in the third quarter Spencer Watt caught a touchdown pass and then kicked the convert! Quote

Swayze Waters hurt himself, apparently pulling a leg muscle. As a result, in the third quarter Spencer Watt caught a touchdown pass and then kicked the convert! I can finally watch the games on cable again. This was a good one. Only in the CFL! Last year I thought the Ti-Cats were a better team than their record showed. I think they have a decent and competitve team again but they have to tighten up their defense. Quote
GA Russell Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Posted June 29, 2013 Congrats John! Does anyone know who was the singer who performed at halftime of Thursday's Montreal-Winnipeg game? I had a picture with no sound at the sports bar, and I didn't see any caption identifying him. If I could take a guess, I would guess Ronnie Hawkins, whom I saw at the '96 Grey Cup festivities. But it's hard to guess a singer when there is no sound! Quote
GA Russell Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Posted June 29, 2013 Calgary Stampeders 44....British Columbia Lions 32 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4605106 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=426569 The Stamps led 31-6 at the half. The Lions opened the third quarter with 15 quick points to cut the lead to ten and make a game of it. But the Stamps got back on track and took the momentum back. Quote
GA Russell Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Posted June 29, 2013 Here is the schedule of the games to be televised in the US on NBC Sports, ESPN2 and (on the internet) ESPN3. http://cfl.ca/page/us-broadcast-schedule There are so many, I'm going to have to give serious consideration to getting cable.

Wow, that's a lot of games. Should make some more CFL fans south of the border. You know, it's obvious, I guess, but watching last night's game reminds me that the larger field really opens the game up and makes for very exciting football. Quote
GA Russell Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Posted June 30, 2013 Jack Gotta has died. I met him at the 1978 Grey Cup. Nice guy. I had his bubble gum card in 1964. http://www.canada.com/sports/football/cfl/ExCFLer+Jack+Gotta+dead+played+coached+over+year+span/8598696/story.html ***** Saskatchewan Roughriders 39....Edmonton Eskimos 18 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=426594 The Riders controlled the entire game.

GA Russell Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Posted July 1, 2013 Happy Dominion Day, as we hardcore folks say! The Als have traded Dahrran Diedrick to the Ticats for next year's fourth round pick. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=426730 Quote

GA Russell Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Posted July 2, 2013 Here's an interesting Globe article about the state of sports on TV in Canada. It mentions that American sports fans spend eight hours per week watching games on TV. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/more-sports/sports-networks-strive-to-combat-shift-to-online-consumption/article12915054/ Quote
GA Russell Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Posted July 2, 2013 The Riders have released Greg Carr. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=426796 Quote

GA Russell Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Posted July 5, 2013 Winnipeg Blue Bombers 19....Montreal Alouettes 11 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4606841 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=426970 Surprise! The Bombers dominated the entire game, but had problems putting points on the board. It looks like the Bombers' D is really good. For the Independence Day weekend, I bought six-packs of two beers that I tried for the first time last week at the sports bar - Third Shift (from Ft. Worth) and Batch 19 (a Coors product). Both are very hoppy and satisfying. Quote
GA Russell Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Posted July 5, 2013 I'm listening to the Lions broadcast, and they are interviewing David Braley during the halftime break. He has just said that he expects the Argos to have their own ballpark in the next five to six years. Quote
GA Russell Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Posted July 5, 2013 British Columbia Lions 24....Toronto Argonauts 16 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4606865 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=426976 The Lions dominated throughout. Ricky Ray scored a touchdown with 59 seconds left, but Jason Arakgi recovered the short kick, and that was it. Quote
John Tapscott Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 Thought both games last night were lacking typical CFL excitement. Quote
GA Russell Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Posted July 6, 2013 One of my favorites, former Stamps radio announcer Billy Powers, was found murdered in his bed yesterday morning. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=427074 Quote
GA Russell Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Posted July 6, 2013 Saskatchewan Roughriders 36....Calgary Stampeders 21 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4607133 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=427073 It was a tale of two halves. The Stampeders looked great in the first half, but didn't do much in the second. The Riders are the only team in the league which hasn't lost yet, and that is before the second week is over! Quote

GA Russell Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) Edmonton Eskimos 30....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 20 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4607424 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=427201 Heavy downpour for much of the game. Wet ball, often dropped. The Eskimos scored the first sixteen points, and the Ticats never caught up. After two weeks, the Ticats are the only winless team. Edited July 8, 2013 by GA Russell Quote
GA Russell Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Posted July 8, 2013 Kevin Eiben will be McMaster's new defensive coordinator. Quote
