The BC Lions won the Cup in 2012 and figure to be a strong contender to win it again this year after returning all of their key pieces and adding Byron Parker from the Argos. For the NCAA/NFL fans, here is a list of the fmr prospects and name players who have made a trip "up North" to extend their careers or build a new one: Saskatchewan Roughriders: Wr Sinorice Moss Lb/De David Veikune lb Jamar Williams Qb Levi Brown S Macho Harris Rb Korey Sheets Calgary Stampeders Rb Lemarcus Coker LT Tony Washington Lb/De Chris McCoy Winnipeg Wr Greg Carr De Lee Robinson (fmr Buchanon Award winner) De Julius Williams (fmr 2nd or 3rd rd pick) De Marcus Washingon BC LB Beau Bell Rb Nic Grigsby Hamilton Qb Tate Forcier Wr Chris Williams Toronto Rb Gerald Riggs jr Montreal Noel Devine What usually happens is as guys cycle through NFL camps, a few more make it to the CFL So I'll update this as the season moves along. ESPN3 has been carrying the games live on their site for free which is quite a switch from the usual hunting for a working link for an NFL matchup. The story lines from the East: -Can the Alouettes maintain their winning ways? -Winnipeg lost most of their name players -Coaching Change in Hamilton, and they added fmr MVP Qb Henry Burris -Can Toronto revive their franchise West: -BC on the verge of dominating the West? -Riders had a bad yr, can the leagues most popular franchise return to form? -Calgary has a new Qb -Edmonton, moving forwards after trading Ricky Ray?
Anthony Calvillo is also like 40 now. Hope he can win it all this year before his inevitable retirement.
He's tough, but they really need to develop a young Qb. Odell Willis bringing Swaggerville to the Riders should be fun.
The Argos are playing well this year. Hopefully they can finally beat the Als come playoff time. Ricky Ray is definitely what that team needed.
