Finishes Where he Began
The Calgary Stampeders have announced that quarterback Dave Dickenson has retired after 11 seasons in the CFL. Dickenson, 36, had his career cut short by concussion problems in recent years and only attempted just nine passes with the Stamps this past year.
Dickenson was named the league's most outstanding player in 2000 and won three Grey Cups in his career, being named championship game MVP in 2005. He passed for 22,913 yards and 154 touchdowns with 50 interceptions in a career spent with the Stampeders and the B.C. Lions. He completed 66.9 per cent of his passes, which puts him first on the all-time CFL list for retired players.

Earth to Avon Colbourne, you dissed Calgary on national TV by calling the MOP all star runner ups 'babies' and in your cocky swagger pronounced Montreal the winners of the Grey Cup midway through the second quarter. Sir, you are an idiot. Sure, there is a course of action that transpires during the regular game, lots of chit chat on the field and ways to get the team motivated, but wow, how bad is it to spout your mouth off and get bit in the butt like COlbourne?
Who Cares about Allstar Awards? Nobody

There's nothing more that needs to be said, the Calgary Stampeders entered the season with little respect from opposing teams and media. They started down the road to achieving respectability status tonight as they were crowned Grey Cup Champions over the Montreal Alouettes.
Montreal, fat over their league all-star awards and cocky from the home town hype and Eastern achievements were high on their abilities coming into the game. Calgary, on the other hand, despite dropping the best record in the CFL this season, received zero accolades or recognition. The response? Calgary responded with a similar game as their Western Division game against BC, and with a similar outcome.

The east v the west come showdown Sunday. Turns out the east media loves a story more than a player. Depiste a couple of stats better than Burris (playing the bulk of games against Hamilton and Toronto) Calvillo was deemed the best in the league. We'll see come Sunday, when, we hope, that the Stamps will show the idiots out East how pathetic their choice was and the huge discrepency between east and west football play.
64 total yards, that was it, for the first half. 3 first downs, dropped balls, no interceptions, zero running game, and that about sums up the first half. Calgary can thank their defense for preventing any major scores which kept the game close. A late touchdown from Burris to Rambo gave the hometeam life and also put them within a fieldgoal from the lead. If you erase the first half, the second half numbers were better, still had problems, but the simple matter is they got the job done.
