Let us never utter any five letter words starting with ‘c’ again. Four letter c-bombs are still fine though. I have to admit that I gave the CFL only 50/50 odds of coming off the ventilator. I tried several times to scribe a new post but feared it would be the last. If that came…
It turns out I am superstitious. Ti-Cats.
At Grey Cup you don’t have to drink but you’re likely reading this for a singular reason: getting every drop out of Lord Grey’s Cup! They don’t call it the Grand National Drunk for nothing. I will lead you to the finish line of this marathon and unlike the running kind, you will not go…

Time flies! Seems like this whole thing just kicked off a few weeks ago. Edmonton @ Montreal: Sunday, November 10th (1:00pm EDT) Pick: MontrealYou have to give Khari Jones credit. He’s turned the Als into a good team. Edmonton is going to have a very hard time winning this game. It’s good to see Montreal…
