Week 10 Picks Johnny’s already out. That didn’t last long… Redblacks @ Winnipeg: Friday, August 17 (8:30pm EDT) Pick: Winnipeg On paper there’s no reason why the Bombers should lose this. BC @ Torono: Saturday, August 18 (4:00pm EDT) Pick: BC Lulay’s back meaning the Lion’s are a threat once more. Montreal @ Edmonton: Saturday,…
Week 9 Picks Johnny… Barf Edmonton @ BC: Thursday, August 9 (10:00pm EDT) Pick: Edmonton You can hope but we all know Edmonton is taking this. Hamilton @ Winnipeg: Friday, August 10 (8:30pm EDT) Pick: Winnipeg Hamilton only beat Winnipeg earlier this year because the Bombers were without Nichols. Anyone can be pound Montreal by…
Week 8 Picks Johnny!!! It’s official! Ottawa @ Toronto: Thursday, August 2 (7:00pm EDT) Pick: Ottawa There’s nothing to like about the QB situation in Toronto right now. I’m not sure that even Marc Trestman can save their season (or the franchise). Saskatchewan @ Edmonton: Thursday, August 2 (10:00pm EDT) Pick: Edmonton Their doesn’t seem…
Week 7 Picks Johnny!!! Edmonton @ Montreal: Thursday, July 26 (7:30pm EDT) Pick: Edmonton He’s not starting but you can bet Johnny will get a few plays in, especially after the Eskies bury them early. Toronto @ Winnipeg: Friday, July 27 (8:30pm EDT) Pick: Winnipeg If it weren’t for the turnovers, the Bomber win last…
Week 6 Picks Thanks dicks. Saskatchewan @ Hamilton: Thursday, July 19 (7:30pm EDT) Pick: Hamilton Hamilton’s been good at home and Saskatchewan really hasn’t given us any reason to question their ineptitude. BC @ Ottawa: Friday, July 20 (9:00pm EDT) Pick: Ottawa I guess you have to give the home team the edge and BC…
Week 5 Picks Awwww yuuuuck, bye week! Ugh. Calgary @ Ottawa: Thursday, July 12 (7:30pm EDT) Pick: Calgary While it’s true that Ottawa seems to get under Calgary’s skin defensively, they don’t have the offense to completely beat them down. Toronto @ Edmonton: Friday, July 13 (9:00pm EDT) Pick: Edmonton How are the Argos to…
Week 4 Picks Week three had one upset and all remaining QBs survived. This season’s looking pretty CFL so far. Hamilton @ Saskatchewan: Thursday, July 5 (9:00pm EDT) Pick: Hamilton Doesn’t look like Johnny Football’s gonna get a chance to play unless it’s in garbage time. Ottawa @ Montreal: Friday, July 6 (7:30pm EDT) Pick: Ottawa…
Week 3 Picks I sure wouldn’t want to be a quarterback. Not this year. Half the league’s teams are without their starting QBs! Drew Willy isn’t a starter. Ottawa @ Calgary: Thursday, June 28 (9:00pm EDT) Pick: Calgary Duuurrrrrr. Winnipeg @ Hamilton: Friday, June 29 (7:00pm EDT) Pick: Hamilton I really liked what I saw out…
Week 2 Picks You won all four games but didn’t get to see Johnny play so you were disappointed, weren’t you? Saskatchewan @ Ottawa: Thursday, June 21 (7:30pm EDT) Pick: Saskatchewan Until they convince me otherwise by winning a few games in a row I can’t, in good conscience, pick Ottawa. Winnipeg @ Montreal: Friday,…
Week 1 Picks WOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Edmonton @ Winnipeg: Thursday, June 14 (8:30pm EDT) Pick: Edmonton No Matt, no win for Winnipeg. Toronto @ Saskatchewan: Friday, June 15 (9:00pm EDT) Pick: Saskatchewan I can see this going either way but week 1 is always such a crap shoot. You’re safer going with the home team. Also, the East…
Man oh man winter was rough! It felt like football season would never return. But it has! Didn’t you miss it?! You thought my lazy, druken ass had given up on the blog didn’t you? I wouldn’t let you down unless it was for something important. Here it is, fresh and unfiltered, the 2018 CFL…
This week I’m a guest on The Toque Podcast with hosts Matt and Andres! We covered many of the issues presently challenging the CFL: attendance, TV viewership, game day experience, moving the season up and expansion. It was a blast! Check it out at http://www.toquepodcast.ca! bbblllllLLLLUUUUUEEEEEE!!!!!
My review in four words: You nailed it Ottawa! Commissioner’s Address (2/5) I have been to a few of these now and it’s starting to seem like the same questions keep getting asked by fans year after year. Some of them really can’t get to the point because they don’t have one. Half the time their…
It’s nicknamed the Grand National Drunk for a reason – Grey Cup is perhaps the only weekend when your recklessly irresponsible drinking is socially acceptable. How do you make the most of these precious few days? By following this very simple plan! I can’t make it any easier for you to cover as many parties…
Team Parties Party wise, Grey Cup weekend usually looks pretty familiar from one year to the next, with a couple of variations. I’ve managed to sample them all over the course of my previous twelve pilgrimages. Some are like your drinking buddy, they never let you down. Others are like your day job, only tolerable…
