So after 10 weeks A-Rad and I are tied with 21-14 records. He's obviously been cheating. Onwards to week 15:

Rusty's Picks:

Hamilton at Edmonton

Why don't we make the stakes for this one more interesting (i.e. interesting at all).  If Edmonton wins, Mookie Mitchell gets to sit in with the CBC panel during the Divisional Semi games. If Hamilton wins, then Rob Hitchcock gets to. Deal?

Pick: Edmonton

Toronto at Calgary

With all of the trick plays and different formations that the Stampeders have been using, Steve Buratto appears to be earning a reputation as the CFL's greatest magician. 

"And now, the Great Burratini will attempt his newest and most difficult trick... Convincing all of the attendees on the Stampeders Coaches Cruise to go skinny-dipping."

Pick: Toronto

Winnipeg at Montreal

I probably shouldn't be mentioning this, but in the last six weeks these teams have combined for the same number of wins that Hamilton had last week. Even worse news for their fans: It looks like Rod Black will be calling this game on Sunday.  For those of you who will be watching this one in a bar that doesn't have the sound on, here's what you'll be missing:

When Winnipeg has the ball:  Milt Stegall..... Milt Stegall.... Milt Stegall.... Charles Roberts.... Milt Stegall.... Derick Armstrong.... Milt Stegall....

When Montreal has the ball:  Milt Stegall.... Milt Stegall.... Ben Cahoon.... Anthony Calvillo... Milt Stegall

Pick: Montreal

BC at Saskatchewan

Given the success of the Banjo Bowl, if I were CFL Commissioner for a day, I'd force all games involving Saskatchewan to have their own special name and trophy.  So I hereby dub BC vs. Saskatchewan "The Manure Match". Sadly, no matter who wins this one, Paul McCallum is going to end up feeling like a loser. 

Pick: BC

A-Rad's picks:

Hamilton at Edmonton 

Bizarrely, last week's matchup between these godawful teams apparently got the weekend's best TV ratings. The only possible explanation for this is that fans were tuning in to see if this was the episode Danny and Jason finally kissed. That, or they wanted to see if Ron Lancaster would get so frustrated that his head would finally blow clean off his body. But if this didn't do it, nothing will.

Pick: Edmonton 

Toronto at Calgary 

Ricky's not the only Williams back in the lineup; apparently John Williams is back in uniform as well. Which brings me to this: Did anybody else notice that, while he was off with a concussion, J-Dubbs' brain was still working well enough for him to review Miami Vice? Having seen Miami Vice, that doesn't really surprise me. But what does it say about the brain capacity of your average film critic?

Pick: Toronto 

Winnipeg at Montreal 

Rumours are flying that Don Matthews is on his way out of Montreal, to be replaced by Jim Barker. That's an excellent plan - what time wouldn't want to imitate the success the Argos had going from Matthews to Barker in '98? But fear not, Als fans - you'll love the jumbo formation. Maybe Barker can even lure Peewee Smith out of retirement to serve as quarterback again.

Pick: Montreal 

BC at Saskatchewan 

I wasn't really sure what to write for this one, so I figured it might be fun to Google newly acquired 'Riders receiver Yo Murphy (who really needs to officially add an exclamation mark after his first name) and see what came up. Sadly, there was nothing all that juicy. But I did his entry on BlinkBits, which I guess is sort of a poor man's Wikipedia. There's nothing all that juicy there, either, but there is a section that asks visitors who they "consider to be the worlds most recognized expert on Yo Murphy."

I now know my true calling in life. I will not rest until I've become the world's most recognized expert on Yo Murphy.

Pick: BC 

Bonus pick: 

All of the Argos have somehow been injured in practice, leaving Pinball to play the Stamps by himself. To "help" him, the league allows a special last-minute roster exemption so that he can be joined on the field by his new fashion buddies, Ted Danson and Malcolm Gladwell. How do Pinball, the increasingly evil-looking Ted Danson and Malcolm Gladwell do?*

Editor's note: Rusty's mind is so blown by this possibility that he's literally unable to comprehend it. In fact, he's been rendered completely incapacitated.

A-Rad's pick: Pinball 94, Stamps 7 (Sadly, Pinball's new friends aren't much help. Unable to fit a helmet over his massive afro, Gladwell is knocked unconscious on the game's first play. Danson, meanwhile, gets an objectionable conduct penalty for turning up in blackface, leading to the Stamps' first and only touchdown Luckily, it is Pinball, so once he has those two off the field he proceeds to outscore the Stamps 94-0.)
