No Quarter Earned, None Given!
August 8th, 2011 by Chevy
I was asked today by a reporter if there are still ill feelings towards the Riders, given that they are suffering in the early stages of the season. My answer was an emphatic, “Of Course There Are!” I don’t care what their current record is, I spent 7 years of my career here in Calgary [...]
The Battle of Alberta got a lot more meaningful!
July 22nd, 2011 by Chevy
The Battle of Alberta got a lot more meaningful! In recent years, with the dominance of Saskatchewan and Calgary in the West Division, the Battle of Alberta has been kind of quiet. Edmonton had been struggling for the past few years to re-establish an identity amidst much turmoil and change. While we here in Calgary [...]
Took Long Enough!
July 14th, 2011 by Chevy
6 things that took long enough to happen in 2011: First off, it took long enough for me to write my first blog. Many changes and uncertainties occurred at the time of my life when I should have started blogging! But now I’m back…Watch out! Secondly, it took long enough for Sheldon to cut me [...]
There’s No Place Like Home

Dorothy repeated that line several times as she held on to Toto and clicked her Ruby heels a long time ago in The Wizard of Oz. That statement still stands the test of time! As she was longing for the comforts of Kansas and Auntie M’s farm, so too are your Calgary Stampeders ready to [...]
Time To Get Back
September 30th, 2010 by Chevy
After two tough losses, each one different in their own right, it is time for us to get back on track! The Alouettes are a formidable force led by the always cool Anthony Calvillo. As we prepare for this game, we have one focus, The Next Play! Whether it be offence, defence, or special teams, [...]
Putting out Fires!
September 16th, 2010 by Chevy
So apparently it was wrong of me to be confident in my team. Apparently, I hurt some feelings in Rider Nation because I voiced my confidence in my running back, Stampeder All-Time leading rusher Joffrey Reynolds, and the coaching staff here in Calgary. It appears that when I voiced the opinion that if the Stampeders [...]
Together We Are Better
August 31st, 2010 by Chevy
Well, 7-1 is another nice record! We are so happy to have beat B.C. again in their barn. It is too bad that the score flatters them a little, but I think that was the product of us stepping off the gas a bit at the end, rather than any colossal collapse. There are many [...]
5 and 1
August 9th, 2010 by Chevy
5 and 1! What a great feeling! I know it is early August, and Grey Cups are won in November, but it still feels good to know that our team is capable of winning football games even though we have not played our best ball. Going to B.C. was going to be a huge challenge [...]
Hammer Time
July 13th, 2010 by Chevy
Oh wow what a road trip! So, we are in Hamilton and it is about 30 to 35 degrees with humidity! Not typical conditions for the Stamps. However, we prevailed on Saturday! The game was far from perfect. We made many mistakes on Offence, Defence, and Special Teams. With a blocked punt and a return [...]
Oh Canada!!!
July 1st, 2010 by Chevy
What a way to celebrate our country’s birthday, than the kick-off to the CFL season! Maple Syrup, Loonies, beavers, good beer, Hockey, and the CFL are symbols of this great nation of ours. As much as I do not enjoy the late October/early November games due of the late start to the season, there is [...]
