The CFL isn’t a lot of things. It isn’t Hollywood; it isn’t the Big Time; it isn’t the NFL. It’s an eight team league that plays a variety of football not played anywhere else on the planet (unless there’s some sort of Bring Back the Posse tribute league in Vegas about which I have been [...]  Ever had one of those days where you think to yourself, “Wow, I’m terrible at my job”? Well never fear, you can make yourself feel better in the most human of all ways – by pointing and laughing at someone who’s even worse at their job than you are at yours. I’m talking, of course, [...] The family jersey jinx is now complete: yesterday, Jesse Lumsden’s days as a Ticat officially came to an end (he signed with the Edmonton Eskimos as a free agent). Two summers ago, Spouse and I made a commitment to the team and ordered two official jerseys; I ordered myself up one of Lumsden’s 28s. Spouse [...] I’m going to interrupt my own fishing story here to mention two unrelated things.

That trade is a little weird from a couple of perspectives. Who trades the reigning Most Outstanding Player? Secondly, the Boatmen just finished resolving a quarterback controversy last year, when [...] A couple of posts ago, I wrote about the Ticats’ lack of discipline and need, first and foremost, to avoid penalties. Steve Milton agrees: With all the other problems plaguing the rebuilding team, the Cats cannot afford the folly of leading the CFL in penalty yardage. In just two games, their sins have cost them [...] In the concrete aisle behind Box H at Ivor Wynne last evening, spouse drew to my attention a young lass wearing a black t-shirt that insisted, in very large lettering, “I HAVE A Ph. D.*” The asterisk naturally led one’s eye to the insignia emblazoned below in a somewhat smaller font, which indicated, “Pretty Huge [...] MEMO To: Hamilton Tiger Cat Football Fans From: Jason Maas Subject: June 30th game vs. Calgary Stampeders _________________________________________________________________ Um. I don’t know why I did it. I mean, I know it was second and ten and I was standing in my own end zone, which meant that the guy who was a few yards directly [...] |
