I've seen the first ten episodes so far, and enjoyed every one. Thanks TTK, et al!

Montreal Alouettes 40....Toronto Argonauts 17 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/anthony-calvillo-breaks-cfl-career-td-passing-record/article2099396/ The Argos were better than the final score would indicate, though obviously not in the Als' class. Calvillo set the career record for TD passes, and Chip Cox tied the record with a 108 yard fumble return for a TD.

There is a flaw in the North Dakota state constitution that nullifies the admission of North Dakota into the union! http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/upshot/fine-print-north-dakota-may-not-state-195631502.html

In 1971 Joao Donato had an album called A Bad Donato that fits the bill. As I recall, it was on the Blue Thumb label. Donato also had an album on Muse (ca. 1973?) with Deodato called Donato/Deodato (I think), that I think fits the bill except that I don't think that it's particularly good.

Calgary Stampeders 21....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 20 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=371768 The Bombers looked surprisingly good until Buck Pierce got hurt. After that, their offense didn't do much. The Stampeders rallied over the course of the second half, but even then the Bombers would have won if they hadn't missed a 44-yard FG attempt in the last minute.

Happy birthday Dan Right! Let's all wish Dan a Happy Birthday, and make him blow the weekend updating his spreadsheet!

Happy Birthday 2011 jostber!

Happy Birthday Agustin!

Moose, I remember back in the 70s when Coors was considered a big deal because nobody could get it in the East! As I recall, in Smoky and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds was bringing Coors back.

Ralph Goldston has died. I had his bubble gum card in 1959. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=371600

Here's a Calgary Herald article which explains the import quota rule, and why some people who are born in Canada are nevertheless not considered non-imports. http://www.calgaryherald.com/sports/football/calgary-stampeders/Some+want+change+confusing+import+rule/5026904/story.html

Kevin, I'm with you, but I won't object to a Grolsch. Jim, I was thinking the same thing. If the govt is shut down and unable to process their renewal, why is it up and running to enforce the renewal law?

There was a snafu regarding MillerCoors' renewing its licenses before a deadline, and the state govt is claiming that it must stop selling these brands: Blue Moon Pale Moon Belgian Style Pale Ale, Coors Banquet, Coors Light, Coors Light 3.2, Foster's Lager Beer, Foster's Premium Ale, Grolsch Amber Ale, Grolsch Blonde Lager, Grolsch Light Lager, Grolsch Premium Lager, Hamm's, Hamm's Genuine Draft Style, Hamm's Special Light, Henry Weinhard's Dark, Henry Weinhard's Hefeweizen, Henry Weinhard's Pale Ale, Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve, Icehouse Beer, Keystone Light Beer 3.2, Killians Irish Red 3.2, MGD Light 64, Mickey's Ice Ale, Mickey's Malt Liquor, Miller Genuine Draft, Miller High Life 12/16 oz can, Miller High Life Ice, Miller High Life Light 12 oz can, Miller Lite 3.2%, Miller Lite Beer, Milwaukee's Best #1 , Milwaukee's Best Ice, Milwaukee's Best Light #1 3.2, Molson Canadian, Molson Canadian Light, Molson Golden, Molson Ice, Molson XXX, Olde English 800 Malt Liquor, Sparks Light http://www.startribune.com/politics/blogs/125490398.html

One of my favorites in college was Standing Ovation at Newport by Herbie Mann. During Stolen Moments, Herbie introduces Chick Corea's solo by shouting, "You got it, Chick!"

Thanks brownie! I've wanted to see this for years!

Happy Birthday 2011 Guy!

Friday: Winnipeg Blue Bombers 22....Toronto Argonauts 16 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4418782 Not a well-played game, but the close score kept it interesting. ***** Calgary Stampeders 34....British Columbia Lions 32 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4418825 A snoozer in the first half with a huge number of dropped passes. I went to bed at halftime with the score 7-6. Wouldn't you know it, it turned out to be the best game of the weekend with a wild second half. ***** Saturday: Montreal Alouettes 39....Saskatchewan Roughriders 25 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4418956 Windy day in Regina. Montreal showed that they were the better team. Calvillo threw 5 TD passes to tie Damon Allen for first place in career TD passes. ***** Edmonton Eskimos 28....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 10 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4419006 For the second week in a row, the Eskimos looked better than expected, and the Ticats looked worse.
