How are you guys finding the box score? I remember my first game, but not the precise date.

I like the 50s British black and white comedies with Peter Sellers and/or Terry-Thomas. I guess my favorite is The Wrong Arm of the Law.

Edmonton Eskimos 19....Toronto Argonauts 15 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=399644 http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Games/2012/06/30/19939021.html Noel Prefontaine had a bad day, which may have cost the Argos the game. Grant Shaw, on the other hand, had an excellent day. The Argos sent Shaw and Steven Jyles to the Eskimos for Ricky Ray; and judging by today's performance, the Argos traded the wrong kicker.

The Phillies have traded Jim Thome to Baltimore. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseball/phillies-trade-jim-thome-to-orioles/article4383089/

Geroy Simon has now caught passes in 162 consecutive games. The announcer didn't say whether that number includes post-season games.

British Columbia Lions 33....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 16 http://www.sportsnet...aspx?id=4510222 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=399589 Buck Pierce left the game late in the first half with a knee injury. Here we go again.

Happy Birthday 2012 Face!

Happy Birthday 2012 Late!

Geroy Simon has just broken Milt Stegall's record for career receiving yards. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/lions-slotback-simon-surpasses-stegalls-receiving-record-against-bombers/article4382749/

LOL! Fried butter on a stick!

Saskatchewan Roughriders 43....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 16 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=399571 The Ticats are supposed to be good this year, and the Riders are questionable. But The Riders led the entire game, blowing it open in the fourth quarter. Remember, this is the last year the Ticats will play at Ivor Wynne Stadium, aka Never Win Stadium.

Roger Goodell has outlined the requirements for teams wishing to relocate to Los Angeles. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/goodell-sends-memo-on-guidelines-for-potential-la-franchise/article4382348/

Speaking of the devil, Andersen has a new album out this week. I haven't heard it yet, though.

When I was ten, I was "addicted" to buying bubble gum cards. You would buy a pack in wax paper, and then open it up and see what you got. I believe that my friends who are in the habit of buying lottery scratch-off cards have the same addiction. You buy the card blind, and then scratch the coating off to see what you got.

The Saskatchewan provincial government committed today to contribute 30% up to $80 million for a new stadium in Regina. The premier wants it to be open air, but designed in such a way that a roof could be added later. In my view, a roof is a horrible idea. The winds of Regina are a league asset, and therefore a national asset. The city has budgeted $230 million for the stadium, so it is not a sure thing that it will ever be built. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=399436

BeBop, since the first of the year, I've been bumping the oldest ones I could find!

Congrats Chuck! Really remarkable!
