    Childress got a reaction from SpeedFlex27 in Winnipeg Tailgating   
    I have been a Stampeder season ticket holder since 1986 and have managed to convince the wife to come to Winnipeg to take in the Bombers season opener and then we drive back to Calgary to take in the Stampeder opener two days later.
    I am wondering what the tailgate situation is in Winnipeg.  Any tips?

    Childress got a reaction from johnzo in John Hufnagel talks about playing for the Bombers   
    John Hufnagel talks to us for an hour and 15 minutes last week in our best interview yet.  The CFL is awesome in that it gives the fans access like this.
     
    Here is the interview:

    Childress got a reaction from Adrenaline_x in CFL Draft needs   
    I have nothing but respect for those who stick their neck out and make a mock draft.  It is so much easier to stand on the sidelines and take pot shots at someone's work than it is to put yourself out there.
     
    That said, I cannot see Calgary taking a linebacker in the first round.  Linebacker is in no way a need for the Stampeders.  They play three imports at linebacker and have two imports who will be fighting for a designated import position behind them.  They have a very quality Canadian in McCartney who can play defense.  Shomari Williams is mostly an excellent special teams player, but also a guy you could plug into the defense to get through a game if you had three injuries to your linebackers.  They have Yannick Carter - another excellent special teamer.  Last year they drafted Caron who looked great in training camp but then was injured for the season.  I cannot see them taking a linebacker early in the draft.  It isn't a need.
     
    I could see them taking a receiver, if Durant or Demski were still on the board, as they lost Sinopoli to Ottawa and only have three Canadian receivers.  They also need to replace the loss of Jones on the OL and in your draft scenario with the remaining OL that are available, I'd see them taking Ruby with their first pick. 
     
    I do like the third round pick of the Stamps taking Varga.  Most mock drafts are calling that.  He likely won't ever play in the CFL which will scare away most teams.  The Stampeders with three third round picks, could afford to spend one on Varga.
