Season Preview: Calgary Stampeders
It would be naive to think that the Calgary Stampeders, and their leader Henry Burris, are not threat to win the CFL Championship in 2011. A veteran receiving cast, featuring the likes of Rambo, Bryant and Lewis, and the added one-two punch of running backs Joffery Reynolds and Jon Cornish Calgary will again be a [...]

Copeland clutch in win over Lions
Courtesy Calgary Herald: When the Calgary Stampeders need a touchdown in the worst way, when they need a spark to fire things up, there is one man who has stepped forward more than any other this season. And he did it again Friday night at McMahon Stadium. Jeremaine Copeland’s spectacular diving catch late in the [...]

Calgary: Lazeo ready to go
Courtesy Calgary Herald: It was one of those plays, one of those scrums that happen all the time in a Canadian Football League game. Bodies flying everywhere, limbs entwined, and often times someone doesn’t spring up from the heap. During the Calgary Stampeders’ Aug. 8 encounter with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, it was Rob Lazeo’s [...]

Thelwell done for season
Courtesy Calgary Herald: It was, as first feared, bad news. Not only for veteran receiver Ryan Thelwell, but also for the Calgary Stampeders. “Ryan Thelwell unfortunately tore his Achilles tendon and will be getting an operation (today),” said a solemn head coach and general manager John Hufnagel, following post- game meetings Saturday at McMahon Stadium [...]

Bryant, Franklin dealt to Stamps
Courtesy Winnipeg Free Press: It was a surreal scene, watching the Winnipeg Blue Bombers — already in a daze following Sunday’s thrashing by the Montreal Alouettes — scrambling to find Romby Bryant and tell him he’d been traded to the defending Grey Cup champion Calgary Stampeders. The Stamps, desperate to replenish their receiving corps after [...]

Bruce leads charge as Cats beat Stamps
Courtesy Hamilton Spectator: The two-pronged quarterback attack just became a pitchfork. After all the talk about Quinton Porter and Kevin Glenn, the game-winning touchdown pass was thrown by third-string and short-yardage quarterback Adam Tafralis. His 36-yard strike to Arland Bruce gave the Cats a 24-17 win over the Calgary Stampeders last night. The winning play [...]

Calgary: A step back in Hamilton
Courtesy Calgary Herald: It’s hard to assess what hurt worse for the Calgary Stampeders on Friday night. Yeah, the 24-17 loss to the Tiger-Cats was tough to take. But the locker-room whispers, the shaking heads, the glances over at the lanky receiver hobbling around on crutches, were far more telling. Losing Ryan Thelwell is a [...]

Stamps Defense getting better
Courtesy Edmonton Journal: Remember the Calgary Stampeders’ opening-night defensive lineup? Don’t worry if you don’t; you’re not alone. When the Stamps hit the field tonight at Ivor Wynne Stadium against the vastly improved Hamilton Tiger-Cats, there will be just three players from opening night in the starting lineup. But where some teams might flail about [...]

Calgary Herald: Copleland is Mr. Clutch
Courtesy Calgary Herald: Everybody in Commonwealth Stadium knew whom Calgary Stampeders quarterback Henry Burris was looking for with his final pass of Friday night’s game. The Stampeders were down by six inside the last minute, and Burris was taking the snap with 30 seconds to play, 18 yards from pay dirt, and the man who’s [...]

Davis a smash hit with Stamps
Courtesy Calgary Herald: Upon joining the Calgary Stampeders a few weeks ago, it was Jim Davis’ aim to get his foot stuck in that revolving door that is the defensive line. More outings like the last and they’ll have a heckuva time prying his foot loose. Davis put all of his six-foot-four, 276-pound frame into [...]
