Are the Als 4-0 or 0-4? Anwar Stewart says by the way Coach Trestman and his staff are "nitpicking" you wouldn't be able to tell. And that's a good thing. Anwar says this is a good Alouettes team that has the possibilities and the talent to be a "great team."
Could Anwar Stewart really be the biggest threat Anthony Calvillo has faced this season?
Anwar delights in telling me AC has won the "Worst Dressed Man" award this roadtrip. He arrived in Edmonton wearing a 'pineapple shirt with corduroy slacks and mountain hiking shoes' reports the Als veteran d-end. "AC tells us his wife helped dress him and she's upset," Stewart reveals. Who knew Bruno was the CFL Defensive Star of the Week?
So what's an Alouette rookie worried about most before his CFL regular season debut? Regina-native Ivan Brown (a previous 'Worst Dressed Man' winner for his pre-season roadtrip garb) is fed up with being called "Lionel Ritchie" since making the team---so he's gone to a new hair-style. Brown is a 4th round draft pick who admits he was surprised when the Als selected him but he's another Prairie prize found by former Saskatchewan player and GM Al Ford.
If former Als' LB T.J. Hill is biting his tongue does that qualify as "upper body injury"? Hill refused to say anything derogatory on the eve of his first game against his former club.
Has anyone ever had a worse first day in the CFL vs. the Als than Edmonton RB Arkee Whitlock? Two dropped TD passes, one fumble lost and then the audacity to save a souvenir football. He'd better look in the sky for the ACME anvil to fall on his head when he takes the field. He's the CFL version of Wil E. Coyote and the Als vs. the West are the Roadrunner this season.
