I saw that happen when the stamps were returning to the field. It was clearly a case of the Stampeder looking down at his feet while walking. It was his own fault all the way.

Based on what I have seen it seems to me that Wake is ideally suited for playing defence in the CFL. I can just imagine how much he will improve as the season goes on.

Here's to a new defensive superstar in the CFL!

I'm calling my sales rep on Friday, if I don't have them by then. Definitly do. I had a case about 12 years ago where Canada Post, in all its wisdom, delivered them to the wrong address. The address on the envelope said West 7th Ave in Vancouver, where I lived, but they delivered it to East 7th Ave...

It may have been added digitally for the Canadian TV audience. The changing of ads like that has been done before.

If there were no Lions I might have to pass the hat amongst friends and buy a franchise. Maybe call them the Ruf Ryders

To me the most frutstrating part is that we possibly could be holding back teams in either Quebec City or Halifax because they don't have suitable stadiums and ownership groups.
