CFL Odds and Ends

First, the BC at Saskatchewan game won the sports ratings weekend battle, with 457,000 viewers beating out Federer's record breaking Wimbledon win. Likely the rabid Rider fans inflated the number. With the current economic conditions in Ontario, I wonder if advertisers value a viewer in Alberta or Saskatchewan (with on average a higher income) over one in Ontario?

That tenth best program, the Jays versus the Rangers at only 80,000 viewers. Ouch. The sucking of the Jays should really start to hammer their ratings.

Michael Jackson devotee, Arland Bruce III, is getting treatment for hemorrhoids. Couldn't they have just said lower body injury and saved him the embarassment?

The Riders are in Toronto this week and coming off a win. It will be interesting to see if Rider faithful inflate the attendance this week in Dead Ted's Dome.
