They can talk the talk, but can they walk the walk?

I'm actually enjoying the war of words between the Calgary Stampeders and Saskatchewan Roughriders. As often happens in these home-and-home scenarios, lips start flapping and the media hungrily devours each juicy quote (where have you gone, Colin Scrivener?).

Henry Burris and Jermaine Copeland got the ball rolling in the aftermath of the Stamps 19-9 loss on the Taylor turf. Fred Perry jumped into the fray on behalf of the Riders. For his part, soft-spoken Davin Bush basically shrugged off Copeland's suggestion that Bush would become the football version of his prison b$&#@ in the rematch.

In this politically correct, sanitized world we live in a little trash-talk is a welcome change of pace. As long as those doing the talking have the stones to back it up on the field of course.
