The 96th Grey Cup is in full swing from Montreal and I hope you are enjoying the coverage that we are providing on News Talk Radio. I will have a two hour show for you tomorrow afternoon from 1-3 in which you will hear from Rider president, CEO and all around good guy Jim Hopson. You will also hear from CFL commissioner Marc Cohon, TSN's Glen Suitor, CFL rookie of the year Weston Dressler and players from both the Calgary Stampeders and Montreal Alouettes including quarterbacks Henry Burris and Anthony Calvillo.

--While many in the Rider Nation will spit nails if Calgary (Henry Burris) wins the Grey Cup, I for one won't care one bit. That being said, I believe this week and no disrespect to Burris but this week will belong to  Anthony Calvillo.

--If the Als do win the 96th Grey Cup and Calvillo is named the 2008 MOP will he call it a career. I would.

--If Calvillo does retire, does that make the price of one Darian Durant go up substantially

--Who has had a better career--Gene Makowsky or Roger Aldag

--Nothing against Henry Burris but how does Cam Wake not get the West nomination for Most Outstanding Player.  Yes Burris had outstanding player like numbers but you can't ignore the numbers Wake put up(well obviously some people can!)

--Accuse me of wearing green coloured glasses if you want but Sandro De Angelis over Luca Congi for Western Special Teams player. Uh no!!
