So that makes Cornish, Lewis and McDaniel....yikes!

thanks to Mods for merging threads...I got beat to the punch, just barely......

Kitsilano Maple Cream...a solid choice. Granville Island rarely steers wrong...

parking definitely sucks at commonwealth. There's an LRT station near the stadium, there are quite a few park and rides and 30-40 bars/restuarants that do shuttle service, although probably close to half of that is all the boston pizza locations here (there are BP's everywhere here). Big reason I don't go to many games is the lack of parking, with what the travel time would be I go for the more comfortable seating at home, cheaper drinks and settle for 58" screen and surround sound. The area around Commonwealth sure looks like North Winnipeg. Edmonton is Winnipeg with money...period. Right down to "Old Strathcona" neighbourhood, where Cook County Saloon is (...not that I'm familiar with this establishment or the Chocolate Martini Shooters that Miss Audrey provides....)

I learned a long time ago that you don't know anything about the CFL season until Labour Day. Come talk to me in September and we'll have a better idea of what it might look like in November...

Aaron Woods?That's what it sounded like to me based on tweets...

One of the most amazing things about Calgary, to me, is C Trains. I avoid public transport at all costs because who really wants to sit with all the unwashed masses when you can drive yourself....but I do take it places when we are drinking and dont have a dd. Generally going to Stampede or up to McMahon when parking is going to be so unreasonably expensive and hard to find...we will c train it. Just easier...

So Kelly dinged, and looking like Brett Carter might draw in. Also Paris Cotton back in...returning kicks today. Will he see touches as tailback?

hmmm...well that's no good...

"Fitzy"....love the guy...

Loved this...so awesome to see.

we mock the AFL, yet those guys have a video game, and we don't.......sigh.

...not only used, but used properly! ....I like words...

Tait is king, no question. In Hollywood, they talk of actors being an "everyman"....Tait is "every reader". He really is just one the boys, and personifies his target audience. One of the great keys of any media is understanding your audience. I'm not sure anyone "gets" their audience the way Tait does. I read his articles and think "I'd just like to sit and have a beer with the guy and bullshit about sports"... ...Now, I say this, and he's going to laugh at me because he does skulk around these boards...

No word yet from the Stamps on who's starting at tailback eh? *edit* Looks like Cornish still not even ready to practice, so likely not starting this week. ...I'll take Grigsby again...

is a team-imposed suspension different than a league-imposed suspension, though? Need to find out why Brown figures fines are better than suspensions. Maybe "max fine" is more money than a game cheque?

Paul Wiecek ‏@PaulWiecek 5m #Bombers HC Mike O'Shea says S Maurice Leggett has a bad ankle and is questionable for Friday night in MTL. #bn

Oh please...everyone knows about that stuff. Hell, Wes Lysack used to be a member of the boards and told us about seeing the girl-on-girl action at Chez Paris in Montreal. That 2005-era team was legendary partiers.....

I can't remember why but Brown was talking about the Hebert club on Cornish and said that fines are more harsh than suspension. Not sure why but hopefully someone has some insight.

Actually Doug Brown was saying that max fines is the best way to send message because its money out of pocket.

Based on the speed of the play, there was no way for Willis to do any more than he did to avoid a bad play. The legal area to hit a guy is getting so small, there's almost nowhere to hit the guy that doesn't result in a penalty...

Definition of Calgarys sports fan community....

well, there goes my Fantaseh team...

I said in the chat last night "Grigsby's gonna get raped in film review this week"....there's gonna be an awful lot of bad tape on him.
