Pizza & a case of beer for the refs after every game thanks to Picard.

Yeah, I get a lot of weird looks and double takes when I wear my big-W sweatshirt around here. People think I'm wearing knockoff Husky gear made by a colorblind bootlegger. Ha, ha .I get ya.

I try to watch my diet by eating a lot better. I belong to Good Life. Lift weights & for cardio I use an Arc Trainer by Cybex to burn calories. Probably in the best shape I've been in since my late 20's. It's an outstanding machine. I just sweat a ton every workout. For a guy who is 59 I think I'm doing alright. Took me my entire life to get my vices under control. I tell ya, in my 20's I was the life of the party.

5-7 cms of snow in Calgary tomorrow. Sucks...

That highway you speak of near the Crow in SW AB is always busy like you say. The TC in BC between the AB border & Kamloops is insanely nuts. On the TC, it's a single lane hwy with thousands of cars on the road both ways & a 90 kph speed limit that most drivers don't observe. Truckers doing 130 in their rigs tailgating downhill & going 80 kph uphill, RVs doing 30 kph under the speed limit both creating huge lineups behind them & 500 metre passing lanes. People get frustrated & impatient as some cars just refuse to pass & take chances passing other vehicles. I saw one guy 2 weeks ago coming back from Vancouver pass a dozen cars on the TC by Rogers Pass. He must've passed me at 150 kph. Probably the most unsafe stretch of hwy in Canada. It's a Canadian disgrace as it is our national highway system stuck in the 1960's. I hate driving it.

So I guess the play that wasn't means Durant's not really injured??? How can a play that was still not be? Yeah, the whistle apparently blew but really?

but only one TD drive given up. D and O weren't the reasons this game was a loss, it's all on the special teams gaffes and the penalties. This is how Stamps fans are talking about their defense giving up big plays to Edmonton last night. Hey, we gave up some big plays. But so what we still won. What's Calgary best known for? The Big Choke in the playoffs. I think we'll see them give up too many big plays on defense in the Western Final & lose again. MOS can't be happy with 200 yds rushing on the ground. If he is, well he's living in a dream world.

Need some NFL cuts brought in.

We gave up 200 yds rushing. Kind of cancels out the nice passing stats.

Yep. Have McManus find us a couple of NFL cuts at linebacker.

You can't be undisciplined & still be a team player. Kuale needs to be cut NOW!

Run D is a huge problem but we are much, much better than last year. Gonna take time to fix this team from the mess left from the Kelly & Mack eras.

No, you mean the Washington Huskies. Their's is the same W but it has a purple outline. Besides, the Stamps horse logo is the same as SMU but I believe their horse is red.

I bet Max doesn't even know. One thing I've learned from alcoholism & drug addiction that seems to unfortunately run in my family is, some people are born with addictive personalities. I battled my addictions over the years.... I smoked 2 1/2 packs a day for two decades till I quit in 1996 for good. I weighed 310 lbs because I ate like it was my last meal & would snack nightly on chips & french onion dip, nachos, KFC, McDonalds at all hours, mostly at night when my wife was asleep. Then I'd shamefully bag up all the eaten goodies, walk out to the garbage & throw it away thinking she'd never know when she did. I remember asking myself why I did what I did & had no answer. It was like those addictions controlled me as I couldn't control them. And then I'd feel like absolute crap the next day being sick. I drank too much but wouldn't classify myself as an alcoholic but it was close. About the only thing I didn't do was drugs too much... Well, today I weigh 210 lbs, I don't smoke & I only drink occasionally. I haven't been drunk in years... But seeing my dad & uncles battle the bottle & with my demons, I think we were born with addictive personalities... That's my theory anyway. Congratulations on your victories. Thanks.... The smoking one was relatively easy for me to beat once I put my mind to it. But the weight was a challenge. I never thought I'd lose 110 lbs & was a candidate for lap band surgery. I'm glad I took it upon myself to lose the weight with self discipline, a healthy diet, vigorous exercise & not have the surgery. Seeing my dad & the way alcohol affected him (he'd go missing for days & my mother always thought we'd get a phone call saying he was dead) I drank but in the back of my mind I was always scared of alcohol... So, when I decided to quit drinking it was an easy decision. But appreciate your words.

Interesting just for the fact we get to see if Collaros can turn his season around as well as the Ti Cats fortunes.

The W is an iconic logo. Everybody who is a football or sports fan knows what team it represents.

The new Royal Blues from Reebok. if you are normally an XL, what size should I buy. I remember trying on one last year & it seemed like I needed one 2 sizes bigger than I normally wear. Any suggestions. Living in Calgary I just can't go to the Bomber Store & try one on.

Glenn was starting to play well. Both Wally & benevides wanted Lulay back. Still no respect for Glenn. Well, Travis may never come back now. This is Glenn's team now by default. And guaranteed that no matter how well Glenn does, the Lions will sign or trade for a veteran qb to come in to be the starter next season.

if you have a good team & have a top notch qb & running back then why is it a crime to play behind a good offensive line? The Stamps have great players at every position & good coaches coaching them. That's why they win. Immagine Willy being coached up by Huff & Dickenson. How much better would he be & he's already pretty damned good now.

What a difference Cornish makes to the Stamps offense. He'll be leading the CFL in rushing. Give him 3 more games. #studrunningback

This is a scheme & personnel issue. Our lbers are undersized. We are soft in the middle & teams exploit that. If we load 8 in the box it just opens things up for other things.

That was me. What are you suggesting, that TSN make a call during a game to cut to a Blue Jays game if they feel the football game is boring?? What I'm saying is I'm not a frigging baseball fan. I tuned in to watch the CFL game. If the panelists & Rob Smith can't carry a conversation for 15 minutes on their own without having to fill time by showing baseball highlights then they shouldn't be on television. Sure, TSN is a sports channel but c'mon. The game had a little over 4 mins to play on the clock & once it started would be over soon enough where they break to Sports Centre where they could talk baseball all they want. As a CFL fan, I just feel that the CFL is shoved to the side too much & I don't like it.
