Jon Cornish scored four TDs.

The Bombers today fired both their CEO and Joe Mack, and named Wade Miller to be acting CEO. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/Bombers-holding-press-conference-at-10-am-218986281.html http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=429451

I bet Dan Hawkins enjoyed this! ***** Tonight's Sask-Calgary game is on the NBC Sports channel at 9:00. ***** Three current NFL head coaches were CFL backup QB's: Sean Payton, Jason Garrett and Mike McCoy.

Of course his name will mean nothing to you, but Cosmo Allegretti was Bunny Rabbit, Mister Moose, Grandfather Clock and Dancing Bear! RIP! http://www.upi.com/blog/2013/08/07/Captain-Kangaroo-puppeteer-Cosmo-Allegretti-dies/4621375891866/

If "party school" means alcohol consumption, I can understand Tulane's being there. But in Louisiana, the reputation belongs to the Univ. of Louisiana - Lafayette. I'm surprised that Georgetown isn't on the list somewhere.

Uh oh. Drew Tate has hurt his arm gain. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=429268 ***** Here's Jim Popp discussing Dan Hawkins, and Buck Pierce being candid about being demoted. http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4614314

British Columbia Lions 27....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 20 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4614265 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=429228 Great first half, with the Lions leading 17-16 at halftime. The Bomber offense didn't look as good in the second half. Maybe the Lions aren't as good as I thought. I thought they would win tonight easily.

Jamel Richardson tore his ACL at practice Sunday, and is gone for the year. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=429192
