Happy Birthday 2013 Marcel!

The Ticats have released Markeith Knowlton. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=428273 ***** The Argos have released Brandon Isaac. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=428246

The Eskimos have released Burke Dales. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=428174

Calgary Stampeders 38....Montreal Alouettes 27 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4610683 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=428086 The Als scored the first 24 points. The Stamps scored the next 35. This set a record, coming back from being down 24 in the first quarter. The previous record was 20. Two years ago Paul McCallum set the record with 30 consecutive field goals. Rene Parades kicked four to move his streak to 29. Very, very late in the game, he attempted a 34-yarder to tie the record, but it was blocked. After the game, the league announced that because the ball never crossed the line of scrimmage, it is considered a fumble, so Parades' streak continues. ***** British Columbia Lions 31....Edmonton Eskimos 21 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4610709 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=428097 The game started slowly, but BC gained the momentum in the second quarter and never looked back. ***** Saskatchewan Roughriders 37....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 0 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4610856 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=428155 The Riders remain the league's only undefeated team. Shutouts are very rare in the CFL.

Happy Birthday 2013 Joel!

Toronto Argonauts 35....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 19 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4610472 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=428027 The Argos took control early. Lots of injuries. Neither starting quarterback finished the game. Ricky Ray passed Danny McManus for third place in career completions.

National Post Week 4 picks http://sports.nationalpost.com/2013/07/19/174083/ ***** Tomorrow night's Montreal-Calgary game will be on ESPN2 at 7:00.

Inasmuch as I don't consider the ACC to be one of the most premier football conferences, I'm impressed by this line up of bowls that have committed to them through 2019. http://www.wralsportsfan.com/acc-formalizes-partnerships-with-seven-bowl-games/12677364/

Time flies. Tynes last played for Ottawa in 2003. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/buccaneers-sign-former-giants-kicker-lawrence-tynes/article13276985/

Blue Train, I read that the Astros sales price was reduced $60 million because he agreed to the moving of the team to the American League.
