Simon plans to do his job against Blue Bombers
By Allen Cameron VANCOUVER — Watch what Geroy Simon, the B.C. Lions’ sublime slotback, does in the first quarter of Sunday’s Grey Cup game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at B.C. Place Stadium.

Bombers’ Brown, Ticats’ Glenn have one more chance to get it right
WINNIPEG — In an eight-team league there are only so many intersections, because there are only so many roads. Matt Dunigan played for six CFL teams in his career; Damon Allen played for seven. Doug Brown has played for one, spending a decade on the prairie without ever winning a Grey Cup. He has come ... Continue reading
Bombers’ Brown strives to leave legacy in Winnipeg
It looks the same, whether you are sitting in Row 41 of Canad Inns Stadium’s east stands, near the 10-yard line, or in the middle of the crush. The line of scrimmage is a chaotic jumble of big bodies flexing, hunching, shifting and darting. And the plays are always different, with the offensive line deliberately ... Continue reading
Don’t expect a high-scoring CFL East final
Milt Stegall knows inside Winnipeg’s Canad Inns Stadium in November the wind and the cold can mess with a player’s mind, which is why he does not expect Sunday’s East final between Winnipeg and Hamilton to be as high-scoring as last week’s 52-44 thrilling East Division semi-final won by the Tiger-Cats.

Montreal Alouettes Record: 10-5 Last week’s ranking: 2 This week: At Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Saturday, 3 p.m. ET It is time to take a ... Continue reading
Hall of Fame rights some wrongs
They didn’t get Tyrone Jones in until the great Winnipeg Blue Bombers linebacker/rush end was dead. If they had waited for David Braley to stop owning Canadian Football League teams to induct him — he’s up to three (two current), and counting — the same might have been true. And they missed the plot altogether ... Continue reading
Grey Cup last on list for Winnipeg’s Brown
By Paul Wiecek MONTREAL — Two weeks ago, the 2011 CFL season was shaping up to be a dream swan song for Doug Brown. Right now, it’s looking more like a swan dive. But however this season turns out, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers veteran defensive tackle is steadfast that one thing will not change: For ... Continue reading
Tiger-Cats outlast Argos in wild shootout
HAMILTON — It was a game worthy of Labour Day. The Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats traded blows on Saturday night at Ivor Wynne Stadium with the home team ultimately winning 37-32. The Argos marched to the Hamilton 25-yard line in the dying seconds, but a fumble by receiver Brandon Rideau sealed their fate. Every ... Continue reading
