Two CFL games Saturday night, and two more starting QB's are injured. Not good
What the heck! Starting QB's are dropping like flies ….
Karma for stadium that cheered doubles writhing in pain last week with willy?

So now the CFL (that has really been lacking for entertainment this season) has lost Travis Lulay, Darian Durant, Drew Willy, Bo Levi Mitchell.

The only time Calgary comes close to selling out is if the Riders are there. Most Calgarians hate the Stamps.
