Calgary shot themselves in the foot so many times this game (dropped passes, stupid penalties, bad reads by Henry, and the completely mind-boggling play call on the 3rd and 1 situation late in the 4th quarter) that they didn't need Saskatchewan to beat them, they did a pretty damn good job of beating themselves.

If the Stamps would ever get around to playing complete games, they'd be the best team in the league.

If if if if!

If the mouse hadn't stopped to take a shit the cat would have never caught it.

Boulay is back!!! What a good news for the defense. Allowing 33 points against the T-Cats isn't very smart. But fortunatly our offense once again saved our ass with 40 points.

Lancaster fights lung cancer

Rick Zamperin
8/6/2008

Ron Lancaster has battled through adversity as a player and as a coach in the CFL.

Now, the Canadian Football Hall of Famer is battling lung cancer.

The 69-year old native of Fairchance, Pennsylvania was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago and will now begin radiation and chemotherapy treatment at the Juravinski Cancer Centre.

A battery of tests has forced Lancaster to step away from the Tiger-Cats broadcasts on CHML and Y108 this season, but he is hopeful to return as colour analyst.

Lancaster started his career as a quarterback with the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1960.

"The Little General" was traded to Saskatchewan in 1963 where he played for another 16 seasons, leading the Roughriders to the 1966 Grey Cup championship.

He won the Schenley Award as most outstanding player in 1970 and '76.

Lancaster became Saskatchewan's head coach immediately after the 1978 season, but stumbled to back-to-back 2-and-14 seasons and was let go.

Lancaster then joined the CBC and spent the next decade as a colour analyst for the network's CFL broadcasts.

He also served as a basketball colour commentator at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.

Lancaster returned to football in 1991, coaching the Edmonton Eskimos for seven season, where he won a Grey Cup in 1993.

He also surpassed Hugh Campbell for top spot on the club's list for coaching wins in 1996.

Lancaster became the 17th head coach in Hamilton Tiger-Cats history on November 26, 1997.

He coached the Cats from 1998 to 2003 and took the team to the Grey Cup twice (1998, 1999) winning it in 1999.

In 2006, Lancaster was re-hired as the team's interim head coach after the firing of Greg Marshall.

Lancaster’s 142 career regular-season wins, place him 5th on the CFL’s career regular season wins list.

He was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1982 and the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 1985.

So I'm back working in Yorkton, wishing I had a Stamps jersey. Fuck would it be nice to walk around talking shit all day tomorrow.

Calgarian · #**145** Posted **Aug 7, 2008, 11:12 PM**

CAlgary needs to stop taking stupid penalties and start winning games.

Ayreonaut · #**146** Posted **Aug 7, 2008, 11:15 PM**

Yeah, wtf is a team as good as the Stamps doing at .500?

Ha! Go Hamilton!

SteelTown · #**149** Posted **Aug 8, 2008, 2:01 AM**

Did all that without Printers, Lumsden or Miles.

Labour Day game should be an interesting one!

Tiger Cats beating Argos 45-21

Tiger Cat Chris Bauman just ran a 63-yard dash, skipping into the end zone 45-21.

Ayreonaut · #**151** Posted **Aug 8, 2008, 3:37 AM**

Can't ask for a much better first half than that.

5 yards rushing for Saskatchewan? Wow.

Sad to hear that. He's had a rough time with his health lately. He's always been one of my favourite CFL personalities and seems like a geniunely nice guy.

Ayreonaut · #**153** Posted **Aug 8, 2008, 4:52 AM**

Damn, why must the Stamps do this. I'm sick of close finishes.

Ayreonaut · #**155** Posted **Aug 8, 2008, 4:59 AM**

Phew, good. 30-25 for the good guys.

Nicko999 · #**156** Posted **Aug 8, 2008, 5:04 AM**

6-1... still not bad

Ayreonaut · #**157** Posted **Aug 8, 2008, 3:09 PM**

Though they did get hammered with a couple more injuries.

Nicko999 · #**158** Posted **Aug 8, 2008, 5:01 PM**

u mean the bad guys.

Uwin a few more games then start calling yourself good.

Winnipeg needs to bring heat on Calvillo all night. If the D-line has their mojo going, it should be competitive. If not, blowout forthcoming. Thank goodness Montreal doesn't have an explosive return game because our specials are brutal. Romby needs to put the offense on his shoulders a little bit tonight. No Terrance, no Kerry Johnson and perhaps no Milt.
