Goodbye Henry Burris – Hello Drew Tate

Ro Stamps — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 04:52:04 +0000

The Calgary Stampeders confirmed they've dealt the veteran quarterback Henry Burris, the 2010 league MVP to Hamilton for quarterback Kevin Glenn, offensive lineman Mark Dewit and a conditional draft pick. After Drew Tate, who recently signed a 3 year contract extension, took over first string duties late in the 2011 season, Burris' days were numbered. [...]

Chris Jones Jumps Ship to Argonauts

Ro Stamps — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:59:39 +0000

In a move that's certainly going to raise a few eyebrows, both in the apparent lack of communication, and also perhaps indicative to the state of the team behind closed doors, Chris Jones, the highly prized defensive coordinator for the past 3 seasons, signed with the Argos to be their defensive coordinator. Why Jones would [...]

BC Lions Win 99th Grey Cup Against Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Ro Stamps — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:54:39 +0000

The storybook ending for the likes of Doug Brown, playing perhaps his last game as a Bomber, didn't pan out as he'd like it. On the other side of the ball DE Brent Johnson may have played his last game, and if that's the case he'll go out a Grey Cup winner. The Bombers lost [...]

Calgary Stampeders Choke in Western Semi-Final

Ro Stamps — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 03:28:12 +0000

Calgary 19 - Edmonton 33 The Stampeders have nobody to blame but themselves. In a do-or-die game the team brought one of their worse performances of the year. The mistakes were costly and unreflective of a team 19 games into the season. Compounding the problem, in a QB driven league it's imperative that your QB [...]

Stampeders Eek out Win in Montreal: Calgary 32 – Montreal 27

Ro Stamps — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 02:39:36 +0000

The Calgary Stampeders played their last road game of the regular season and managed to squeak by the Montreal Alouettes who for the first time in recent memory don't sit atop the Eastern Standings. That doesn't mean they're a weak team by any stretch, in fact, this afternoon's performance was a stiff test for QB [...]

Calgary 25 – Saskatchewan 13

Ro Stamps — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 05:35:53 +0000

Before we start, just a reminder to Roughrider fans you're not making the playoffs. Haha. Moving on. Drew Tate made his first CFL start and had a strong 3 quarters to lead the Stamps to victory. Calgary didn't put up any points in the first quarter, but Tate moved the offence and looked sharp. All [...]

Drew Tate to Start Against Riders

Ro Stamps — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 04:45:52 +0000

This will be interesting. Veteran backup QB Drew Tate will get his first start of the season as the Stampeders face the Roughriders Friday. Out is Henry Burris, who's season has been up and down at best. I like the move, especially after Tate took control of the offence mid-way through the Toronto game. What [...]

Toronto Collapse: Stampeders 29 – Argonauts 31

Ro Stamps — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 03:12:33 +0000

Drew Tate's Night Spoiled There's something about crappy CFL teams that gets the best of the Stampeders. They lose big to Hamilton in the Maritimes, and they've lost twice to the worse team in the CFL. Why can such a talented team put up such a crappy show? Let's break down this game teams.... Calgary [...]

On the line for the evening was first place in the West Division. BC came in as the hottest team in the league, the Stamps trying to put in a more consistent effort. The team`s traded chances all game going back and forth, but in the end it was all special teams and Paul McCallun [...]

Stampeders Bonk Hapless ‘Riders on Vuvuzela Afternoon

Ro Stamps — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 00:04:04 +0000

They came out in droves but went home with their heads held in their hands in disbelief as the Saskatchewan Roughriders gave fans little reason to believe the 2011 season could be salvaged. Usually there's nothing but Green in the stands, but this afternoon, armed with vuvuzelas, the home crowd cheered their team to an [...]
