Maurice Leggett Outdid Chris Davis

((HT: FNF on TSN))

The downside to a missed field goal is the chance for a return...

Ottawa Redblacks Brett Maher missed last night and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Maurice Leggett had the chance for a return...

A very long return... on his birthday, no less...


Ottawa, however, remained one of the tougher teams at home in the CFL this year with a 42-20 win

Because It's a Slow Morning: Chad Johnson Scores 1st CFL TD

Okay, yeah, we know...why would anyone care about a former NFL big mouth banished to the Canadian Football League.

Well, because it's the artist formerly known as "Ochocinco".

Chad Johnson, ex-Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots WR and purveyor of wacky and crazy touchdown dances, got to revisit his past glory Friday night.

Johnson, now playing for the Montreal Alouettes after sitting out of football last season, caught his 1st Canadian TD pass when his Alouettes played the Winnipeg Blue-Bombers.

The 46-yard catch was Johnson's only catch of the day and the Blue-Bombers ended up winning the game 34-33.

Here's your video and celebration. For Chad, yes, it was pretty tame...

Football Season Has Kicked Off As Slick Willy Bombs Argos

Winnipeg QB Drew Willy

There is nothing like Thursday Night Football in June as the Canadian Football League season opened in Winnipeg as the Blue Bombers took on the Toronto Argonauts.

Drew Willy, who set passing records at the University of Buffalo and had a cup of coffee in the NFL, impressed Blue Bomber fans in his debut.

Willy completed 19 of 27 passes for 308 yards and four touchdowns as Winnipeg bombed Toronto 45-21.

"The number one thing quarterbacks have to do, what they are in charge of is winning." Winnipeg head coach Mike O'Shea said.  "He (Willie) went out there and he helped win the game for us."

Willy, a back up quarterback for the Saskatchewan Roughriders the last two seasons, finally has a chance to start and impressed in his opener.

"I kind of thought I could do it but I'm a confident guy," Willy said.. "I knew if I went through my reads and did everything possible things would go right . . . We got off to a good start. It was nice on the first drive to score."

Click on the link to see Aaron Kelly's catch for Winnipeg's first touchdown of the game.  It was a great catch.

Kelly, a former Clemson wide receiver, had a monster game with five catches for 100 yards and two touchdowns.  

Kelly held the ACC record for receptions with 232 until Duke's Connor Vernon broke the record in 2012.

"I worked hard to win the starting spot here and just wanted to come out and start fast and help the team win." Kelly said.



Those of us in the OSG HQ are football fans.  NFL, College and yes the CFL.

It's great to be talking football again.

Is It Too Early For A Late Hit...???

((HT: CFL on TSN/youtube))

The Toronto Argonauts EJ Kuale brings both the noise and the funk with this gawd-awful late hit on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Buck Pierce...


Two things the HQ knows, Kuale will be heading to the league office downtown to discuss and we're glad that FOSG Terrence Edwards can still catch like nobody's bid-ness...
