A few random notes in honour of, um, it being Wednesday...

• Over the last number of years we've read countless complaints - usually made by fans (some of whom are also journalists) of teams from the West Division - that the league or the media are giving teams from the East preferential treatment.  We're not here to debate whether or not that's correct (note: it's not), but we would like to offer a compromise:  Next year, we'll give you guys the "advantage" if you'll allow us to enter the shamefully exclusive Safeway Touchdown to Win.  Deal?

• Bravo to the Argos for running a story on their official site that basically could have been boiled down to 7 words:  Nick Lachey wants to "romance" Argos' Cheerleaders. 
  

• We'll no doubt have more to say on this as the season goes on, but kudos to TSN and the CFL for the Top 50 Players program.  It looks like they've put together a great list of 185 candidates.  That being said, we were a little hurt that Boatmen Blog wasn't approached to be a judge for this event.  Our invite must have gotten lost in the mail.  That's okay, though -   some of the best and brightest writers and broadcasters aren't on the list either, so it must have been difficult to make the ch....  Wait a minute. Steve Simmons is on this panel?  The guy who wrote an article before the 2004 Grey Cup saying that it would be better for the Argos if they lost the game?  That guy?....  You're dead to us, TSN.

• In case you're wondering, our vote would (obviously) go to Pinball.... We'll let you have the other 184, who we all know Pinball could beat playing by himself, even if he was injected with a flu virus by Wally Buono, shrunken by Don Matthews or forced to listen to Frank D'Angelo music the entire game.
