[net.sport.football] CFL news

I was informed by an irate Tiger-Cat fan that the CFL standings I posted
last week were one week out of date.  (I was out of the country for three
weeks so I lost track of how many games were played, so when I picked up the
old standings I didn't realize that they were old.)  Personally, I like the
out of date standings I posted last week better, since they had the scumbag
Tiger-Cats in last, where they belong.  It breaks my heart to see my beloved
Argos a game behind the Tiger-Cats (It's not the fact that they're in last
that bothers us Argo fans, it's the fact that they're behind the 'Cats!),
but here goes anyway:

EAST                        GP   W   L     F    A  PTS
Montreal Concordes          12   6   6   237  240   12
Hamilton Tiger-Cats         12   5   7   257  263   10
Ottawa Rough Riders         12   5   7   209  327   10
Toronto Argonauts           11   4   7   253  297    8
(Hamilton is 2nd because they have a win over Ottawa.)

WEST                        GP   W   L     F    A  PTS
British Columbia Lions      11  10   1   344  176   20
Winnipeg Blue Bombers       12   9   3   371  182   18
Edmonton Eskimos            11   7   4   290  277   14
Saskatchewan Roughriders    12   4   8   241  329    8
Calgary Stampeders          11   2   9   187  297    4
(The top 3 teams in each division make the playoffs.)

It looks like we're back to having all the good teams in the West,
the way it was before 1982.

OTHER NEWS:
The Stampeders have given up on veteran quarterback Joe Barnes, who was having
a horrible season.  He has been traded to the badly slumping Concordes.  I'm
not sure what the Concordes are planning on doing with their other three QB's.
