So the season obviously hasn't gone the way we'd like it so far.  Any word on if Winnipeg will start Mike Quinn, just for old times sake?

Rusty's Picks:

Toronto at Winnipeg:

OK, I'll admit it. I feel bad for Jermaine Mays, who was released by the Argos last week.  The man went out of his way to tell people that he'd like to be referred to in media guides and TV broadcasts as "Sexy Mayes," and yet no one has started a campaign to bring Sexy back. Shameful.

Pick: Toronto

Hamilton at Montreal:

This photo might be more entertaining than most Ticats gamesSo having already used up The Good Thief, the CBC needs to find a new Nick Nolte movie to run over the end of this week's game. So long as it's not that horrendous I Love Trouble disaster, I think we'll all be OK. Fine, I'll admit that this
was simply written to run the accompanying photo.

Pick: Montreal

A-Rad's picks:

Toronto at Winnipeg:

Ah, Manitobans. So different from us. A tough, rugged people, accustomed to a hard life but knowing of nothing different. And so hostile toward Torontonians.

Into this hostile environment, against all the odds, goes one man. All together now. Rocky!...Rocky!...Rocky!...Rocky! He will change everything Manitobans think they know about Toronto. And when he's done, he'd damn well better give a speech like this.

Pick: Toronto

Hamilton at Montreal:

I know Montreal is a liberal town and everything. But I have to say - I'm a little taken aback by the pornography openly on display on the Als' website.

Now, granted, to you or me this probably doesn't qualify as porn. But I'm pretty sure that if you're Bryan Chiu it does.

Pick: Montreal

Bonus Pick:

All of the Argos have been injured in practice, leaving Pinball to play the Bombers by himself. Hoping for a close contest to keep viewers interested, TSN borrows Nick Nolte from the CBC and unleashes him on the field with the sole mission of stopping Pinball. How does Pinball do?*

Boatmenblog pick: Pinball 1,623, Als 0. (Nick Nolte proves more a hindrance than a help to the Bombers - running around in circles for most of the first half, then spending the entire second half gnawing on his own leg. With only 12 men on the field to stop Pinball, he earns a respectable score by his standards. It would be even higher, but over the course of the game he's distracted by contract negotiations with 18 more running backs to compete with John Avery.)
