I cannot recall George Jones and I'm a CFL encyclopedia.

Milson Jones? Canadian RB that finished his career in Sask.

Neither Nick Arbuckle or Chad Kelly practiced today. I'm sure both will be dressed and ready to go Monday. Nothing you can do for a broken toe, but its painful and limits Chads mobility and stepping into certain throws.

Kendall Randolph also went full today.

Paris Shand well full on Thursday, also.

I bought winter tires from them a few years ago. They've done their job.

Whose the Hamilton QB on Monday?
Tre "Built Tough" Ford or Frosty? Hope we see both because it means something is not going to plan.

Several CFL fans are walking from BMO to Hamilton Stadium to raise money for CFL Fans Fight Cancer. Think you can catch them at them at the Tailgate in the Hammer .... or use the CFL Fans Fight Cancer web site to make a Donation.

Shout out to all involved for doing this .

Looking forward to going to the big game... !!!!

Go ARGOS !!!!!

We will have to wait at least one more week to see Randolph. The only additions to the lineup are Shand, Hajrullahu and DB Akili Arnold (in for Teubner although Slywka is listed as starting at WIL).

The ironing is delicious.

A CFL stats junkie could maybe do some research - the last 20 years or so - and find any CFL season long starting RB who has an average/ carry as weak as 4.1; OR - a starting, oft targeted receiver who has only caught 50% of the passes thrown his way. But maybe the stats lie or are meaningless? OR - maybe it's all Tre Ford's fault ?

In 2011 Fred Reid had 181 carries, with an average of 4.2 yards per rush for Winnipeg.

In 2006 Josh Ranek had 85 carries (which led the team) with an average of 4.0 yards per rush for Hamilton.

In 2000 a player I've never heard of, George Jones, had 105 carries ( 8 less than team leader Cory Philpot), with an average of 3.9 yards per rush for Winnipeg, including a 98 yarder for a TD, according to Pro Football Archives.

Can't recall that George Jones guy either.

But 2011 was Fred Reid's last CFL season and previously he had seasons with averages of 7, 6.8 & 6.6 yards per carry = outstanding

That was also towards Josh Ranek's last CFL days and he had seasons of 6.4 & 5.4 per carry before that.

Both finished with CFL career averages of over 5 per carry. IF they had rookie seasons like this stiff Rountree this year, i doubt they would have played much more.

You will be happy to know, OV, that the Ticats have switched running backs for tomorrow.
