Sandro DeAngelis has played the last two games, so today the Bombers released Justin Palardy. They also signed Brody McKnight, Jason Boltus and a former Jacksonville Jaguar named Mike Sims-Walker. http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4619235 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=430592

Happy Birthday 2013 Joe!

Tracy McGrady has retired. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2013/08/26/tracy-mcgrady-retires-retirement-career-houston-rockets-orlando-magic-san-antonio-spurs/2699479/

OK, I thought you didn't respect her.

The TSN power rankings in the previous post say that the Bombers started Max Hall last week. I tuned in late, and I guess he was already out by that time. ***** Dave Naylor is reporting that the Argos will not announce until Thursday the status of Ricky Ray's injury.

Wait a second, Jimbo! Aren't you always dissing my girl Astrud for the same thing?

Maybe 20 years ago a judge in Ontario ruled that laws prohibiting women from going topless in public were unconstitutional because Ontario has an equal rights amendment, and men could go topless legally. So the Argonauts and Blue Jays promptly announced that men would not be allowed to take their shirts off at the ballgames. To my knowledge, that policy has never been enforced by either team. Now we have a television reporter revisiting the issue. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/08/26/Reporter-Goes-Topless-To-Prove-Point

Lawrence Tynes was treated late last week for a penicillin-resistant infection called MRSA. He needed toe surgery to scrape out the infection. It was Tynes' right foot. Is that his kicking foot? I think he is a left-footed kicker. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/football/bucs/bucs-carl-nicks-lawrence-tynes-have-mrsa-infections/2137793

dgs, Rod and Carm were speculating that this might be the best Rider team ever. I can't imagine that it would be, considering that Durant is their QB.

Yeah, this was a promo, as you can see from the press release.

I played this one again today. Every time I play it I like it more.

I forgot to mention last night that for the first time in their history (over 100 years), the Riders are 7-1.

The ECM album was nothing like what I expected, so I guess I haven't liked it very much. I ought to return to it to give it another chance.

I was introduced to Caravan the summer of 1971 when I was given a copy of Grey and Pink. I wore that and If I Could out! I think I had all of them up through 1980.

I've sold the Mosaic Bud Shank box, but as I recall it included the soundtrack to Bruce Brown's surfing movie Barefoot Adventure from 1960. I saw this movie ten or more years ago on TV; as I recall on the Outdoors Channel, which became Versus, which became NBC Sports. It was enjoyable enough if you like to watch surfing. I see that the DVD is now available pretty cheap, so I think I will pick it up, and listen closely to the music this time. By the way, I recall the Mosaic booklet to say that Bud Shank's record of this was the first Pacific Jazz release to earn royalty payments.

Julie Harris has died at 87. I remember her best in Harper, though the rest of the world thinks of her as primarily a great Broadway actress. http://www.latimes.com/obituaries/la-mew-julie-harris-20130824,0,7758582.story http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harper_%28film%29
