5 Things Football Friday

1.  What is the big deal about the cold?  This is Saskatchewan and when it gets towards the end of October and into November we get this thing called winter here.  I understand many players come from places where it doesn't get cold or it doesn't snow, but they are here now and this is what it's like and this is how it's done.  Get over it!  And for what it's worth, I think the media is making a much bigger deal out of it than the players care.

2.  That whole Shea Emry "fine" is a travesty.  If I walked up to someone on the street and punched them in the groin I'd be charged with assault.

3.  I'm glad to see Jaimie Boreham back but I was silently hoping for the return of Eddie Johnson.  I loved Eddie Johnson and I met him once.  He was great to fans.  I also loved the mustache.  He was uber cool.

4.  The name calling drama with Dominic Picard and what's-his-name-Bowman should be under review as well.  It is not okay to call anyone a racial slur.  Bowman should know better.....he does play for Montreal after all.

5.  Every week I love Corey Chamblin more.  He is a smart smart man.  I also feel the same way about Joe Lobendahn and Odell Willis, although it might be weird to lump them all together.

Parting thoughts:  With all this talk about cold I am reminded of the Western Final in 2010 against the Stamps.  Here's a little video to remind you all too.
