Some stories you may have missed this past week (the Calgary Herald stories expire pretty quick so hurry up and view those:
I know I'm a bit late in the up-take for this game but I wanted to drop a brief blog note about the Stamps recent victory. With a completely healthy Toronto offence the game would have been closer, but that doesn't mean we should take away anything from the overall Stamps game. All facets from defence to offence performed as they should with room to grow. The biggest component of Saturday's win was zero turnovers. Ten is bigger than zero, keep it below 2 a game and you have a good chance of winning. Much better test next week against BC even though we face another backup or maybe even 3rd stringer QB. Hopefully the Stamps are putting together a solid response. Nobody will care if they lost two blowout games early in the season if they can put together some solid wins. The CFL is overall really weak this year so anything can happen.
It appears that the two blowout losses have claimed the first casualties--all on defence. This has come as a bit of a surprise to some, but then again, when you invest all your money in wide receivers you can't exactly let them go. It appears the first to go was defensive back Jermaine Chatman who was a steady back last season but was schooled by Dj Flick against Saskatchewan, and then again by Arland Bruce against Toronto.

What could be worse than the spanking received against Saskatchewan? How about an even bigger walloping against Toronto. Calgary talked the talked but couldn't even get their shoes on correct with things going bad, to worse, to disgraceful.

It appears Saskatchewan has one thing Calgary doesn't--one single professional sports team. With nothing to do and no reason to visit, home field advantage in Saskatchewan is a rambunctious affair. Not only is it loud, it also appears the Calgary Stampeders can't handle the pressure even with an 'apparent' new look team.

After July 1st the coverage for NHL players swapping teams has been dominating the covers of sports papers and web sites. Rightly so, there are a number of interesting and exciting moves. But I have to remind sports fans out there, the CFL just finished week one and it was exciting!
Week 2 of the CFL begins Thursday. Calgary plays two game sin 5 days starting with an away date against Saskatchewan. This should be a doozy as the Rider's provide a far better test than Hamilton did last week.

The CFL season opened at home for the Stampeders with a commanding win over a Hamilton team picking where they left off from last season (which wasn't very good). A number of questions were answered tonight with some encouraging results from both sides of the ball.

Football season has started in Canada with some interesting games and rule changes. Things got started in the East with BC visiting Toronto. T-dot dominated early but couldn't score, in fact it was the battle of the special teams that took over in the first half.
