    I only caught a small bit of the game live, but I just watched the TSN highlight reel.

    The tribute to Chase Stegall was unexpected, but nice.

    If the Riders can get healthy, they really could be a force to be reckoned with.

    It’s hard to tell from what I saw, but the Redblacks didn’t look terrible to me. Their run game seemed pretty strong.

    The CFL 110 podcast says they expect a lot of parity across the league this year, so we could be in for some nail-biters.

      I would agree with the parity comment. I think there is a lot to look forward to across the entirety of the league this year as far as talent goes. IMHO I don’t think that any one team is a sure pick to win it all at this juncture. That being said, all it takes (for any team) is a key injury to really derail a season.

      Both Ottawa and the Riders looked good last night.

      Looking forward to more football tonight and tomorrow. Really interested to see what happens in Edmonton this year. I think I’m most excited to see what VA does in Calgary against BC. That looks like a good rivalry game for sure.
