I don't think it's just Calgary. I think it's every major CFL city. When the global scale for the NFL is so huge and fantasy football is popular for the 18-35 range it gets people really engaged into the game. I'm 26 and I can say I'm easily the biggest Bomber fan in our group of friends who are all huge sports people.

Mason Nesbitt - Just talked to @CowboyAthletics and @GopherFootball product Drew Wolitarsky. He's excited to join CFL Winnipeg Blue Bombers in about a week.

I'm going to be completely honest. I thought Nichols was a little off last night. Especially early in the game, but to his credit he played an amazing stretch where they scored on SIX STRAIGHT possessions. He turned a rough start into one of his overall games of his career. ( career high 4 TD's) the thing I see out of Nichols is that once he gets into grove with his receiving core I think he's going to have an outstanding season and prove a lot of critics wrong. Heck I think he strives off of it.

If Saskatchewan would have out played us in OT they would have won the football game.

18-9 to be exact. More importantly.. 10-3 as a starter. The fact that we're arguing that he could have had 5,6 touchdowns last night makes me realize how much stability we have at the QB position.

1. Justin Medlock- low key our most valuable player last season. 5/5 field goals tonight, 4/4 on the extra point. The guy is worth every penny were paying him. 2. Weston Dressler- 6 catches for 124 yards and 2 TD's. Too small to be a reciever in Jones's offense though 3. Matt Nichols- 331 yards and 4 TD's. Can't ask for much more productive from the QB position, although the scary thing is he definitely could have had 5 or 6. Missed a few throws tonight. HM: Hurl, Randle, Adams, Alexander, Carmichael

You mean 17 points in the first quarter right?

900k to be a "good guy in the locker"

Morrissey - TroubaEnstrom - ByfuglienKulikov - Myers I like our D core heading into next season. I also like the signing of Mason. Two years of steady goaltending, and hopefully Hellebuyck can steal the job from him.

One thing worth noting.. Damn does Jennings fumble the ball a lot.

i know we're joking over here, that will be a valid excuse over on RF that's the funny thing.

Two good quarterbacks, with two good receiving cores.

I didn't think so either.

So why are the Stampederes the benefactors of every call week in and week out?

Neither team wants to be winless going into week three. Should be a good football game.

The funny thing is this guys behaviour is typical that of a Rider Fan on their board. Completely arrogant about their shitty football team.

Yeah I see a balanced attack. I think Flanders gets some carries once we get a healthy lead. We don't need Harris hurt.

4 Grey Cups in a century and Rider fans act like they're the messiah of pro football..

32 years old. Canadian.. And 24 sacks in the past two seasons. That's a weird example.

Well they only lost by 1 point to the second worst team in the league. For a team that hasn't won too many games in the past two and a half years moral victories are something that should be considered an accomplishment in Riderville.

Hate to burst your bubble but those are all terrible options and Jones/Murphy should be embarrassed by your Canadian content.

My prediction for Saturday's contest.. Nichols throws for 300 yards with 3 TD's and no turn overs. Harris runs for just shy of a 100 yards, Bombers win by 20 plus points, and Rider fans implode until next half way through next week where they still insist they have a capable roster, and Jones is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Messam

I would pass on Alzner. Rumor has it he's looking for a 6 year deal. I'm guessing he'll get around 5 million. I'd rather not give that price or term to Alzner.

So I went to make my weekly CFL bet online.. And.. Toronto three point favourites on BC Winnipeg 1 point favourites against SASK Easy money! I don't see Ray bullying BC's defense the way they did against Hamilton. Also Calgary favored by 7.5.. I think it will be another close game.
