Lets all hope for a good competitive game with no serious injuries and a minimum of penalties- especially ones which decide the game.

What??? Meant to say "there". Typo on my part. Flames own the Stamps & President Brian Burke's son was gay. Burke is now a huge proponent of welcoming gay players into both hockey dressing rooms & football locker rooms. Cornish mother's a lesbian. He was very vocal in his support of Michael Sam coming out just before the NFL Draft. Of all CFL teams THEY (Stamps) would probably be the most welcoming. Hopefully my post makes sense now. It seems kind of sad to me that this discussion is even happening in this day and age We live in a world which still has a Flat Earth Society and creationists, so......

Turf toe. Toe-main poisoning?

Matthews would be a luxury. We don't need him. You may change your mind after this weekend and next.

And you can bet they will be building shrines to Dressler as we speak.

I expect Messam to be used to either run or threaten to run which will hold our linebackers close to the line. That will allow Sask's hot routes against our linebackers which are now suspect with Kuale. Our D-line has to clog up the middle and allow the linebackers to drop back- that will force Durant to try to go long, and if his hand is not 100%, the advantage will be ours. I don't see our blitzing being effective. On offense, we have to neutralize Chick (big surprise there) and being as how we can't run worth poop, Grigsby will have to earn his keep as a receiver and we might have to use the six-pack receiver set. If the running game actually works, it would be a tremendous advantage with Grigsby optioning out as a possible receiver. Grigsby has to block better than he has. If Moore is healthy enough to stretch the defence, it will open things up for Denmark, Kohlert et al. Our kicking and return game is better than Sask's and if that provides a 6 point return, that may be the difference. I don't think Sask overall is as strong as last year, and we are a heck of a lot better. If can beat them today, we ought to have a good chance of beating them in the Banjo Bowl as well.

I'm underwhelmed with who we have now. Bring him in, if only to inspire the incumbents, and if they need someone to push them before they start performing, they ought to be gone anyways.

Considering Desjardins' football IQ, a squirrel would probably do the same thing.

Isn't he the buddy of Linus and Charlie Brown?

Hinse has yet to start and seems to be behind Goosen already so that tells us something. Jarvis Jones is a known commodity and this is a good opportunity for him to show that he belongs. Going to be a tough game on the O-line regardless so I don't thing anyone of them is going to come out of the LDC looking great. Wylie's got his hands full. I just hope he's learned his lesson and will double-team Chick. And that Grigsby shows up. This sounds perverted.......i like it No, you can't get in on it, even if you bring party favours.

Not really. We gave up about 2 yards a carry without Kuale last week, even with Montreal trying to establish the run to help their QB's early. They ran at will vs Ottawa last night. Pretty clear who/what is getting picked on by opposing teams. Of course that be attributed to other corrections as well, but I'm not going to do a blocking job for Kuale because frankly, I'm not a fan. I'm still saying it's selective stats because they're after the fact, before corrections were made, and don't allow for proper game planning. But I do agree teams will target areas, as well as players. True, but the biggest difference is not having one MLB completely out of the play most of the time, usually because he's over pursuing. I appreciate Kuale's effort, his intelligence not as much. I'd love him as a rush end. Tackles are a horrible stat to judge LB's, but Kuale has 19 in 8 games. That's a joke. Like if an OL came up to the bench press at the combine and did 2 reps. That number of tackles takes Ian Wild 2 games to accumulate. Wild had 18 tackles in the last game alone. I'm not sure how many Kromah had, but he was way more noticeable than Kuale ever was and if we get run over by Messam and whomever the Roughies use on Sunday, I am going to be really ticked and will start to question the collective wisdom of the coaches.

And the (s)hits just keep on coming.

The issue is not whether it is legal or socially acceptable or medically dangerous. In order for Gordon to play in the NFL, he would have been required to sign off that he would abstain from unauthorized mood and performance altering substances. He did and chose to put the pot ahead of responsibility to his career and his team anyways. You are not legally forbidden to boink people you serve at your job but if you work in certain fields, that will get you suspended or fired.

On 1290 radio this afternoon, Sean Churchill said that Willy is virtually 100% and so should be totally ready to go.

The Bombers self-destructed last game or they would have beaten Sask handily. Therefore, if they manage to squeak out a win on Sunday, they would have a good chance to sweep the two-game series. I am cautiously optimistic if they can block out Breckenridge and Moore is close to top form but Corderro Howard still being here scares me- he plays too similarly to Shannon Boatman.

Well, turf toe doesn't have the same cachet as rug burns on the knees, but what the heck. For the next two games, we need all the push we can against a very good O-line, so if Fraser gives us that, Vega can sell drinks at the Rum Hut. Regardless of who it is, it would be great to have a player the caliber of old #97 white mountain again.

Well put. Everyone there seems to be just working 23 hours a day and making money and either planning their next vacation or their retirement in the Okanagan or Nanaimo. Not a lot of people ever put down roots in Calgary. An interesting statistic: they polled people who were working in Alberta but came from other provinces- over 70% said they would go back home given an opportunity. A very transient society, particularly in southern areas.

What's Kelsey's? a Saskatchewan fine dining experience Living in Calgary you would know all about mediocre dining experiences. IMHO of course. I've only been out here for a couple of years, but I'm still searching for a really mediocre greasy breakfast joint. All the places close to me are the type of restaurants that charge $12 for eggs and have huge lineups I lived in Calgary for 10 years and that city can't compare to the Wpg. for culinary experiences other than corporate chains and the upper end. Doesn't have 1/10th as many independent burger joints or greasy spoons. Closest I found to a good greasy spoon was the Deerhead Cafe low down on Edmonton Trail in the N.W. and it wasn't great. Husky serves up a mediocre breakfast as well but nothing to compare with the Red Top, Nick's in Headingly or the old Paladin. Did they ever re-build after the fire? Problem with Calgary imo is that it doesn't have any soul. Paladin has not rebuilt and will not. The fire came shortly after the owner died and the family was not interested in the business, so it does make one wonder.

Yikes! Another Rider fan- do we have to disinfect the site or ask them to go through some sort of sheep dip process?

Stupid is as stupid does. Hello, Brandon Browner & Josh Gordon. You're only fooling with millions of dollars in lost salary or even your careers when you both already know the score... idiots. Are you hinting that smoking dope affects judgement? If so, we'd better make that public knowledge.

So was Goltz. Division 3, versus division 1, 2nd round NFL draft pick. Hell, even on TSN last year they were saying there were reports from Bomber camp that Goltz was STILL reading defences at a division 3 level. Apples and oranges. 2nd round draft pick who lost his job to a 7th rounder. You have to be outstandingly bad for that to happen in the NFL. Or the infallible scouting system of the NFL had a brain cramp.

No......not Bryant again. O'Shea and Walters have to be starting to be concerned about Moore's brittleness.

We can survive without him- we have enough potheads already. You can argue with some justification that the pot suspension length is a joke when beating your girlfriend unconscious in an elevator and then dragging her out gets two freaking games' worth of suspension, but its not as if Josh didn't know or wasn't reminded. He got what he deserved and even the NFL's private police force can't save him this time around.

This is what happens if you don't put chlorine into the gene pool once in awhile.

Must. get. pulse . rate. down. Its going to be all right...its going to be all right....its going to be all right...
