Maybe there's a new way to embed tweets, I sure hope so, it's a nice feature.

So…what's the upper bowl for? U2 concerts?

Can you really blame NFL teams for steering clear of Collie based on his concussion history? Hey Austin, it's not exactly two-hand touch in the CFL either.

Nice work Huff, I've always been a fan of Burnett, hopefully those injuries are behind him.

Yup, the same Eskimos who got swept by the Stampeders last season as Calgary went on to a Grey Cup victory. The same Eskimos who have a head coach who refuses to shake Huff's hand after each loss.

/To steal a line from Kevin Bieksa, "Irrelevant".

Edit: The Oilers had 7 more wins than the Stampeders, of course, the Stampeders play a 18 game season plus playoffs, the Oilers 82. As for playoffs, yeah, that's a good one.

I'm watching the CFL Draft (lol) - Stamps just selected Lemar Durant from SFU (Farhan is known the kid since grade 10, he says he's a stud)
