i was too excited focusing on the CFL trade deadline day today

lol - Probably not the best planning to have the CFL trade deadline on the same day as opening day of the NHL regular season.

you could have stopped it there lol

seriously ... cfl teams rarely make trades ... all a team has to do is wait for the other team to release the player

Rod Black just compared Jonathon Jennings, Bo Levi Mitchell, and Zach Collaros to serial killers - "They have the ability to forget about what's happened in the past"

The Lions snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Well, they were 300 grand over the salary cap, so they had to do something.

Got to think the playoff format's going to be tweaked. 4 teams in the West with better records than any team in the East.

I don't know, they've tweaked it with the cross-over and although the East looks like the preferred route to the Grey Cup, it's still tough to win games on the road, let alone two involving significant travel to get to the Grey Cup. That's the crazy thing about football as well, with this year's game being outdoors at BMO Field in Toronto, bad weather could be a great equalizer.

I wonder how full BMO Field will be for an Edmonton - Calgary Grey Cup game.

/It could happen.

I'm sure they would travel well. They pretty much would have to for it to be full.

I was at the 2014 Grey Cup game at BC Place and I had a great time along with 50,000+ other folks. It certainly helped that the Stamps held on for a 20-16 win.

As much a I would want bc to be in it. This would be a spectacular final for fans and the CFL to promote. Man that would be glorious.

Now we know how he got the nickname 'Speedy B'...

Stamps have decided to cover the shoulder patch on their black alternate jersey (this patch depicts crossed revolvers) to acknowledge the tragic loss of Mylan Hicks last month.

Stamps finish their home regular season record with a perfect 9-0 mark and with the Ti-Cats win last night, the Argos are eliminated and there will be a West crossover team. Of course, we don't know who that West cross-over team will be as of yet.

/Big game between the Eskies and Leos today.
