...err...footballs. Yes yes, stolen from the slogan (seen on the back of CFL shirts seen around Toronto when the whiny NFLers come to town) "Our Balls Are Bigger". Gotta love it. It's probably because of the 12 months of snow, sub-zero weather and constant caribou-skinning in our igloos that makes our balls much bigger and tougher.
Have to love the CFL, especially amidst all the hair-pulling in the sandbox south of the border. These dudes are out there to play football, play football and love playing football. I equate the pace of action to good college-ball in the States. These CFL players only live for the moments on the field, not all the after-party club hype or being seen with the next famous big-assed, fake-tittied, daddy-supported bombshell. They play and live in some of the most godforsaken places in this wonderful country and the nightlife, or lack thereof, can only be described as mundane and by no means do any of these cities garner attention for having famous or beautiful people. I mean c'mon can you really see a "Real Football Wives: Regina" show taking off anytime soon?? Although it has a suggestive ring to it, these guys are not about that. They exist in these places with only a goal of playing as hard and fast as they can, not for the fame or the glory of being known, but for the glory of winning. They play just as hard every game despite not landing a spot on SportCentre's highlight reel, the front cover of Sports Ill, or even being recognized off the field. There is a certain "backyard ball with a bunch of die-fukin-hard football fans" vibe to it and it is quite contagious. Just give it a shot.
All that said...to business.
I am a fan of the teaser and will *try* to post a winning teaser for every week. I KNOW I will piss off all the self-proclaimed "teaser gods" in the forum by teasing faves to dogs, taking totals off of key numbers and what not but frankly all I have to say to you is, tease my big Canadian balls. If I like a team to win and they are getting -1 then of course I'm going to push them to +6 for the cushion, I couldn't care less if it gives your taint a rash when people do that. If that's not your style, then so be it, I promise I won't come into your house and tell you how to live there, so have the same respect and take the plays for what they are. To quote my favOUrite commercial..."Hey, don't push me, push a PushPop."

) but this just isn't their game. Not this week, not in Edmonton after the Eskies did what they did last week. But againnn...I'll take the buffer.
