Well, that didn’t take long… Somebody already has a photo slideshow up on YouTube in tribute to the Riders winning the Western Final yesterday against the Stamps, set to the song “Paint The Whole World Green” by Jason Plumb and the Willing. Leading up to the Grey Cup game next Sunday, this town is going to […]
I had to work today so had set the PVR to record the Riders vs. Stamps Western Final CFL game. I also strategized how to not accidentally hear the score before I got home – no glimpses at Facebook on my smartphone, no checking Twitter at my break, only trying to make the most generic […]

Even though it’s an exhibition game, tickets range from $98 for the *lowest* priced to $148.50 for the highest (of those […]
Bobby Jurasin Documentary (Featuring pre-fame Brett Butt) I was flipping through YouTube and came across a profile of my all-time favourite Rider, #71 Bobby Jurasin (which features a few cameos by a pre-“Corner Gas” Brent Butt starting around the 11:45 mark!)
