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.

The season starts this week, so yesterday I went to the store and picked up a twelve-pack of Blue. That should be plenty enough for the four games. (Labatt's was the original owner of Toronto's baseball team. Because their flagship brand was Blue, they named the team the Blue Jays. When they sold the team, the new owners put the emphasis on the word Jays.) ***** The Bombers have named Charles Roberts to their team Hall of Fame. There seemed to be a story surrounding their trading him that I don't think was ever revealed publicly. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=426267 ***** The Argos have brought back Noel Prefontaine, and added him to their practice roster. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=426271 ***** It looks like Kevin Huntley will sign with the Stampeders. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=426274
