Thanks for that post, brownie! Do you think that this was Dave Lambert's last recording?

Donald Crump has died. It hadn't occurred to me how many interesting things happened during his short tenure as commissioner. I remember the bullwhip! http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=364855

Thanks Paul! That second song reminded me a lot of the vocals on the Butch Cassidy soundtrack.

The Bombers have traded LaVar Glover to the Eskimos for a draft pick. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=364837

Lotta laughs!

Funny you should ask! I started using magicJack on Sunday. Sometimes there is a blip when I am listening to the other end, and the sound isn't great, but the calls are free! Perhaps the calls would be perfect if I had a new, more powerful computer.

The Esks have released Kamau Peterson and former Boise State star Jared Zabransky. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=364638 ***** The Riders have signed former Florida star Chris Leak. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=364733

The People's Choice was a favorite of my dad's.

Happy Birthday ASNL77!

Thanks Dave!

Dave, you're famous!

The league announced today its involvement in the study of concussions. Matt Dunigan, who suffered a number of concussions, announced that he would donate his brain to science. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/former-cfl-qb-matt-dunigan-donating-his-brain-to-science/article2008913/

The draft is this weekend. Even though the CFL schedule starts earlier than the NFL's, the league schedules its draft the week following the NFL's because they want to see who the NFL drafts. They don't want to waste a high pick on someone who will sign with the NFL. Here's an excellent list by Duane Ford of the lingo used by scouts and commentators regarding the draft: http://www.tsn.ca/columnists/duane_forde/?id=364457

Break a leg, Joel!

Happy Birthday 2011 Lazaro!

Happy Birthday 2011 ...impossible!

The Ticats are having a minicamp, and they've got Augie Barrenechea trying out as a blocking back. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=364046 ***** TSN Radio 1050 has taken over as the Argos' radio station this year. http://www.tsn.ca/radio/ http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=364056

Happy Birthday Niko!

Happy Birthday tomorrow Joe!

Big Wheel, that's a great tip!

Kelly Bates has retired as a player, and has joined the Lions' coaching staff. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=363693

Thanks Dave! That's an interesting chart.

mjzee, aren't they expensive for their power?

Thanks Dave. I would like to buy the most powerful desktop I can afford, and then hold onto it for a while.
