dunno if I'll be able to keep this up all season, but here goes for Week 1:

 

guarding Blue endzone
like Cerberus and Charon:
the twin Jeffs of Death

----------------------------

Fugitive reboot:
stubble jumpers nearly beat
by one-armed QB

----------------------------

jerseys stained bright red
cue Macbeth soliloquy:
"out, you damn stripes! out!"

----------------------------

FNF remake:
just like the rider game but
the one-armed guy wins!

Toronto at Winnipeg

Bailey first TD

Boatmen tidal surge in third

Blue D levee holds

Week 2

Argos @ Blue:

a week 1 reprise:
Argos hang around awhile
Blue grinds them to dust

BC @ Calgary

Mike Reilly's elbow
loves cortisone. Stamps require
stronger prescription

Your week 2 standings:
Rick Campbell is 1 and 1
Bettors 0 and 2

Ticats @ Roughriders

Van Zeyl? more like
van Turnstile, am I right?
Ticat QBs wrecked

One for each team from last night. 
 

Bo Levi four picks

One touchdown in eight quarters

The new Calgary?

 

Your placekicker sucks

Rourke starts……until anthem done

Online bettors fume

Blue offence so-so

Points left on field. No matter,

Defence is a wall

 

Argo run game works

They hung around a while, but

Wrong QB started

 

Sad times in AB

Both teams are hot garbage, but

My tears are from joy.
 

Stanback is a beast

But are Als that good, or does

Opponent just suck?

 

Writers gave them raves

Forecast dominant Tigers

In fact? They’re puss*es. 
 

O-line holding up

All Rider facets clicking

Labour Day fight looms

Alouettes looked stong last night

Maybe even challege the Bombers this season

Then bring it on, Larks. 

Stamps, Elks, Ticats losers still

All is right in the CFL now

Riders still suck suck suck

Haiku about The 5-7-5 Haiku rule:

Some here can’t count right

Looks like Riders’ special teams

In a Grey Cup game

5-7-5 perplexing number
Cannot count off hallmarks of a life
Yet almost anyone can try

Haiku not Haku

Poetry/wrestling mash-up

Meng the Bard sounds boss

Trench warfare, turnovers, some O

Week 3: Elks @ BC

In Saskatchewan, this ad would have an entirely different meaning.

Week 3: Als @ Stamps (pregame)

Stamps' rookie pivot--
will he be a Garcia
or a Feterik?

Edited August 21, 20214 yr by johnzo

Elks still not great, but

Offensive threats do enough

To screw my week’s picks

O-line is his kryptonite

Superman grounded.
