Lulay will come off the 6 game injured list after the Calgary game Friday, should be on the roster the following week.

Great news for the Lions !

Didier Orméjuste @DidierRDS · 2h The Alouettes coaching staff have told QB Troy Smith that he needs to play better. Otherwise he will be replaced. #CFL

But the Als are tied for first place in the division.

/On the other hand, they are also tied for last place in the division.

At this pace the Laval Rouge et Or will have to be a cross over team in playoffs for the east

I don't mind losing, but when the winning TD occurs on a missed illegal procedure call, that's tough to swallow.

That said, Andrew Harris was a beast in the 2nd half.

send me a text next time.
It was a coin toss between night market and Aberdeen, and we went with the latter.

I should have, I was actually thinking about it I will next time. the food was pretty good

we went to the pay one behind river rock. the parking was insane, the line up even crazier (almost 2 hours) but if you are in a group and buy a rocket pass ($20 for everyone whether it be 1 person or 20) you bypass the line completely which was nice (we were 5) but once you get in its the exact same as the one behind home depot where you dont pay. although the riverrock has some amusement style games (ring toss etc)

That hit by bighill on the last play of the game was massive

I think I read that Jamar Westerman was involved in a recent nightclub incident...

Nik Lewis a healthy scratch for a 2nd straight game (a victim of the Canadian ratio combined with being a bit too thick?)

Holy fuck east get it together

The 4th place team in the West might have the easiest road to the Grey Cup this year.

The West is currently 16-2 against the East this season...Hamilton has been close in a few games and Toronto is missing some key guys (although you could make the same argument for Calgary).

Jeff Garcia named Als QB coach today - How soon until Garcia is taking snaps under centre?

/He looks to be in great shape

TSNDaveNaylor: RT @DidierRDS: I'm told that Troy Smith is no longer the Alouettes starting QB. Alex Brink will start Saturday vs Riders. #CFL

If I'm a betting man (and I am), a large wager on the Riders would be a wise move.

Kevin Glenn named CFL offensive player of the week. In Stamps news, the following is good to see:

Scott Mitchell‏@SUNMitchell2 mins

Jon Cornish and Matt Walter are both on the field in helmet and shorts doing agility drills led by Dimitri Tsoumpas. That's encouraging #CFL

With Hamilton and Ottawa before the Labour Day Classic with Edmonton, why not save both for the Eskimos?

The football-broadcasting habit of camera closeups on athletes who have just scored often leads to a lot of shoutouts and even occasionally some profanity. It's unusual for it to lead to comments on current events, but that's what happened in the Toronto Argonauts-Winnipeg Blue Bombers clash Tuesday night after Toronto receiver Maurice Mann caught a touchdown pass. Mann caught it right near the back of the end zone and fell forward almost into the signage, meaning that the cameras were right there when he got up. Instead of shouting out his friends or family, though, he used the moment to reference the ongoing situation in Ferguson, Missouri following the police shooting of 18-year-old black teenager Michael Brown. Mann said "Remember Mike Brown and the police brutality" (or possibly "RIP Mike Brown, police brutality...") and then TSN quickly cut away. That led to plenty of Twitter praise for Mann for taking a stand, but criticism for TSN for their quick cut

Winnipeg couldn't stop the run last night and apparently TSN stuck it to the Mann last night.
