Football Betting Lines

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Canadian Football League fullback Warren Hudson passed away Thursday at the age of 49. Hudson played nine seasons in the Canadian Football League, spending three seasons (1990-1993) with the Blue Bombers. In the 1990 Grey Cup, Hudson won top Canadian after recording 66 receiving yards and one touchdown, while also rushing for another.

 

Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Canadian Football League will celebrate in 2012 the 100th Grey Cup championship, and the season will open on June 29 with a pair of games, including a rematch of the 2011 Grey Cup between Winnipeg and British Columbia. The Lions beat the Blue Bombers last November for the 99th Grey Cup title, and the teams will meet in Vancouver in the nightcap of the opening day doubleheader. The first game of the day, and the season, will pit Saskatchewan against Hamilton.

 

"We have so much planned for this year, to celebrate the true Canadian icon that is the Grey Cup, and share this historic milestone with our fellow Canadians," said CFL commissioner Mark Cohon. "It's a wonderful opportunity to celebrate something that is uniquely ours, to celebrate how the Grey Cup has always brought us together as Canadians, and to celebrate simply being Canadian."

 

Another feature to the CFL schedule is Labour Day weekend, which opens on Friday, August 31 when BC visits Montreal. Saskatchewan will host Winnipeg on Sunday, September 2, before the traditional rivalry games between Toronto and Hamilton and Edmonton and Calgary on Monday.

 

He will serve as the assistant to the Bengals' secondary coach, as well as the special teams' assistant.

 

Prior to being named head coach, Jackson was the Raiders' offensive coordinator in 2010. He joined the club after two years as quarterbacks coach for Baltimore and numerous other stops as an assistant, including coaching the Bengals' wide receivers from 2004-2007.

 

He also has 18 career receptions for 138 yards and a touchdown.

 

Regina, SK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced Friday that veteran offensive lineman Gene Makowsky has retired. The 38-year-old finished his 17-year career as the franchise's all-time leader in games played.

 

The former second-round pick in 1995 accumulated multiple honors over the course of his career: CFL offensive lineman of the year in both 2004-05, a five-time league All-Star selection and a West Division All-Star team for seven consecutive years.

 

Hamilton, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats bolstered their receiving corps on Friday, signing free agent wide receiver Andy Fantuz to a four-year contract on Friday. "I'm coming home. After a very difficult deliberation process, the opportunity to play for my local team, in front of family and friends, was impossible to refuse," said Fantuz. "While 'Rider Pride' will always be a part of me, it's time to head to Tigertown. Hamilton has a great tradition of football excellence and I am thrilled be a part of a team that will immediately challenge for a Grey Cup."
