This week's TSN power rankings are out. They list the Stamps as number one. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/feature/?id=97698

The Riders have released Greg Carr. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=426796

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/

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

Not a box, but it looks like nearly all the James Bond films are $4.99 each. http://www.amazon.com/Dr-No-Sean-Connery/dp/B000RPCK10/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1372617108&sr=1-1&keywords=Dr.+No

Happy Birthday Late!

Happy Birthday Face!

Congratulations Chuck and Ann!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Toronto Argonauts 39....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 34 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/scores/final/boxscore.aspx?GAMEID=1097 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=426558 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4605071 Great see-saw battle! 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!

Happy Birthday Stefan!

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.

Here's another look at the schedule. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/feature/?id=508 ***** The sports bar a block away from me will show the game tonight, so I'm going to walk down there for a while.
