Now updated with bonus pick.

Does it really count as a week in the CFL when all of the Eastern teams are on byes?  (Yes, we're still pissed off by the shamefully exclusive Safeway Touchdown To Win contest)

Rusty's Picks:

BC at Calgary:

Really? Duncan O'Mahony is back in the league?  That's a shame, because if the Stamps had pulled another Mark McLaughlin and installed Jim Barker as their punter for the week, I would have been Stamps fans for life.

Pick: Calgary

Edmonton at Saskatchewan:

Ok, when I made the A.J. Gass comment last week, I was unaware that he apparently through Comisky's helmet because he was being grabbed in the groin. You would think that they would have developed some sort of equipment to lessen the chance of that sort of thing happening.  

Pick: Saskatchewan

Bonus Pick:

How does Pinball spend the bye week?

Boatmenblog pick: 

Monday: 9:00 AM to 9:02 AM - devises plan to beat Winnipeg. 9:02 AM to 11:00 AM - takes a nap and finds a solution to world energy crisis

Tuesday: Breaks own record by hugging 6,428 people during the day

Wednesday: Pinball decides to go to a Thai cooking class. He masters Thai cooking within 5 minutes. Spends the rest of the day teaching the class.

Thursday: Figures out a way to defy gravity. Chooses not to, because he always obeys the rules.

Friday: Constructs a 100 foot statue of Willie Pless out of steel reinforced concrete. Destroys statue by running through it while demonstrating how he used to score touchdowns.
