Are you ready for some football?

Preseason kicks off tonight. Toronto is in Hamilton and Saskatchewan is in BC.

Probably going to be some pretty ugly games but it's great that football is back!

It will take a while to get used to the sight of Ricky Ray in an Argos jersey

WOW, Those Saskatchewan jerseys are really ugly, ugly, ugly, looking uniforms. Then again it looks like Tristan Jackson and Nick Graham are wearing different ones?

Yup..I still don't like fatso (Mcallum)....That didn't take long.

Doesn't look much different to me than their old ones. That S-logo on the ass of the thing looks REALLY stupid, though.

Good to see Henry have a good half of football (even if it is pre-season). Hopefully he has a good season in Hamilton.

Also good to see Sasketchewan sucks even in the pre-season.

Great half a turnover in the end zone, and a fumble as usual. The big turnover.

My Riders looked horrid. Durant looks fat and the rest of the club looked dis-organized.

That offensive line should be a major strength this year in Regina with Chris Best and Brendan LaBatte two of the best interior Canadians at their positions. Mind you that those two didn't play last night so that likely didn't help things with Patrick Neufeld and Ben Heenan who are still pretty raw when to comes to the CFL going against a very good D like BC.

Good lord, that's an embarrassment for the entire organization but still, it's definitely the right call.

Not surprising. I was looking at the construction cam on their website last week, and I was thinking there was no way it looked like it was going to be ready for September.


In other Stadium news, the "Friends of Landsdowne" group that has been trying to block the redevelopment of the Landsdowne Park area in Ottawa has given up their fight and will not take their challenge to the Supreme Court (http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=398370).

This finally paves the way for construction to start on the renovations to the north grandstand/Civic Centre and the construction of the new south grandstand. The 67s are going to play at least one season at Scotiabank Place while the Civic Centre renovations are carried out. For those that aren't familiar with the stadium, the north grandstand of the football stadium is built on top of the Civic Centre arena, and the entire south grandstand has been demolished.

They have said that if they can get shovels in the ground by the end of summer, it could be ready for the 2014 CFL season.

Smart move by the Bombers that should've been made from the start. A lot of angry Bombers fans out there I'm sure...

Also, I'm wondering if Ottawa and Hamilton will be able to complete their stadiums in 18-24 months? Ottawa should be okay, they are only building one side, but Hamilton is tearing theirs down completely and rebuilding, and in less than 2 years? Seems ambitious...

My friend, Marco Iannuzzi of the BC Lions climbed the Calgary Tower a couple months ago in support of the Branch Out Neurological Foundation; a charity raising money and awareness of neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinsons Disease, etc.

We did a 100 KM Bike Tour last weekend in Panorama/Invermere BC and they played this video at the banquet. Wasn't sure where to put it, but it's CFL so why not.

Don't be surprised if the Stamps pull off a trade today. Sneaking suspicion Geoff Tisdale could be involved #calstampeders #CFL -- Al Cameron (@AllenCameronCH)

"Former Cgy WR Ken-Yon Rambo in Toronto. Will see Argo docs on Monday. Team will wait for report before any decisions are made. #cfl #argos -- David William Naylor (@TSNDaveNaylor)"

No surprise there.

I really don't think Rambo has anything left. You couldn't touch him without him running and yelling at the refs for a flag, last year. Mentally he has checked out
