GARussell

Really bad weekend. All four games stunk. Oh well. I believe that a major appeal of sports is that the product, the quality of the ballgame, is not guaranteed. I think the reason good ballgames are so exhilarating is that you never know ahead of time how good they will be. You appreciate a good ballgame because not all of them are good! I listened to all of Friday's game and parts of each of Saturday's three games. Week 12 previews: http://sports.canada.com/default.asp?c=can.../AJN4102375.htm Edmonton Eskimos 47....Montreal Alouettes 28 http://sports.canada.com/default.asp?c=can.../AJN4102480.htm Ricky Ray broke Warren Moon's team record for yards passing. Jason Maas came in in the fourth quarter for the Als and looked like a world beater, leading the team on two TD drives. Calgary Stampeders 44....Saskatchewan Roughriders 22 http://sports.canada.com/default.asp?c=can.../AJN4102611.htm The game was sold out with plenty of Rider fans. Greg Peterson, former Stamps DB now the analyst on their broadcasts, likes to point out that more Saskatchewanians live in metro Calgary than in any city in Saskatchewan! Winnipeg Blue Bombers 34....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 4 http://sports.canada.com/default.asp?c=can.../AJN4102648.htm Casey Printers started for the Ticats. Kevin Glenn was hurt and may be out for a while. The Bombers' backup QB is Ryan Dinwiddie, and I have no confidence in him. British Columbia Lions 40....Toronto Argonauts 7 http://sports.canada.com/default.asp?c=can.../AJN4102701.htm The Argos have won four games this year, but three of them were against the Ticats. They were awful last night. At this rate the Eskimos will cross over for the playoffs. Jarious Jackson, the third string QB, is now 3-1 as a starter for the Lions!
