CFL Pick 'Em, Week 4: Nobody knows what's going on this year, except the diehard fans from Australia and Kentucky. Make your coin flips inside.

An 0-fer. A freaking 0-fer. Whisky Tango Foxtrot indeed. Alright, that does it. I am literally flipping a coin this week. I have a toonie, and it's not earning its keep in this house. Time to make that change make a change in my fortune(s). Montreal by 11. BC by 2. Toronto by 7. Saskatchewan by 9.

chico, I think you 0-fer'd only because you forgot to post your picks. You might have been bang-on in your head, or maybe on the sticky note next to your keyboard.

Oh, good. I thought I was just being shite. (I was actually in rural Virginia all week, with only sporadic net access, so I've lost track of time here. To quote the great philosopher, literary iconoclast and political theorist Emily Litella: Never mind.)

Hamilton by 2 (TiCats are too good not to squeak out a win soon) Edmonton by 5 (I'm gonna say that both offenses will be on fire this week and we'll see a high scoring affair +70 pts.) Winnipeg by 4 (the Bombers will continue this unanticipated winning streak) Calgary by 9 (can y'all believe they changed the name of Taylor Field???)

Montreal by 14 B.C. by 10 Toronto by 7 Saskatchewan by 3 Before I became a NFL fan, the other guys in the office used to get real pissed when I would win the NFL pool. "How the hell did you know Detroit would beat Chicago? What, did you figure they were due for a win?" "I had no idea, I don't even watch football." "What! You mean you didn't watch a single game this weekend?" "Not a one." "Get the fuck back upstairs to your office asshole." If it makes you guys feel any better, I actually watched 3 quarters of a game last weekend. B.C was up by 26 points when I had to turn it off because it was video game time.

Montreal by 10 B.C. by 5 Toronto by... argh! 7 Calgary by 6 Just a note: I'm going to be out of town for a few days, so I won't be able to get next week's standings up until about halfway through the week. If you need to post your picks early on, you can do so in this thread.

Scheduling conflict: Do I watch the CFL game tonight or Devils vs Sabres?

Do I watch the CFL game tonight or Devils vs Sabres? Do you already know the outcome of both games?
posted by Folkways at 04:23 PM on July 06, 2006
I guess I did know the outcomes afterall, the winners anyway. I did watch the 4th quarter of the CFL game, very entertaining finish.

If I had to pick one winner in the CFL this week, after the fact, it'd have to be Mother Nature ... whew ... did she ever pelt us with a nasty little batch of rain and hail on Friday night in Edmonton!!!

Crazy weekend for me, so I only saw one game, but it was the best. Hamilton's defence somehow lets Calgary storm down half the field in a matter of single-digit seconds, setting up the game-winning Sandro DeAngelis field goal. In other games, the Argonauts continue to set themselves up for a late-season surge upon Damon Allen's eventual return, and Winnipeg threw up the WTF. TAB. ENTER. of the week, shelling Edmonton within thirty-six points of its life. Let's skip the rest of the bad writing and move directly onto the numbers:
