It would be a shame if people didn't watch it and post snarky comments at the same time.


/warming up with some NFL on the t.v. this morning

I'll be back around the start of the second half, gotta go to the rink for a bit. Go Als.

Finally, a real championship game.

Allons-y les Alouettes!

Its not on many TVs.
Just checked DirecTV.. only two channels carrying it (MSG+ and CSNE), both requiring a subscription to DTV's 2nd tier sports package and only one of the two actually carrying it live.

Can the Als possibly blow yet another Grey Cup game? How much robbery will take place by Riders fans? All these questions and more to be answered tonight in Calgary for the 97th Grey Cup.

/Loves me some CFL.
//Oskee wee wee

Calvillo will be too hung over from the awards ceremony.

Go, whomever, slight edge to Saskatchewan because they didn't embarrass the Lions.

The Als have this in the bag.

I was unlucky enough to be a Lions fan in the Olympic Stadium last Sunday. I ended up bailing after we farked up that punt. The Lions definitely didn't help themselves, but the Als are as dominant a team as I've seen in the league for a long time.

so wait, how many hat tricks per inning will be scored today?

Grey Cup ads aren't anywhere as cool as Super Bowl ads.

in Canada it's on TSN this year. Previously, it was on CBC for forever and that is available in every ass-crack of canada.

Not that TSN isn't widely available of course...

I hope someone scores a rouge

I'm not unemployed or smuggling cigarettes across the border
I don't eat Pepsi and May West for breakfast (*)
I don't watch da hockey game doing it doggie-style
And no, I don't know Claude, Manon, or François in Abitibi-Témiscamingue (*)
But I'm sure they all have nice teeth

I Am Not A Canadian (new window)

There can be only one.


Fail

I live in Calgary, I have no tickets, and I do not have cable.
I just changed the summer tires for winter ones, for I thought that job would be more fun than watching the Grey cup.

However I will make an obligatory statement nonetheless

GO TI-CATS.
(originally from Hamilton area)

Live Stream?

It's tough not to agree, the Als are a powerhouse. That said, Go Riders!!!

Hoping for the Riders, but the underdog's don't always win. Montreal just looks REALLY confident for this one.

I got 5 on the Riders +8. Saskatchewan better not dissapoint, or I will NEVER watch another CFL game again.

Thanks for the live stream.

/1st ever CFL game for me.

If Montreal wins by a margin of less than 98-3, it's only because TSN asked them to go easy for the sake of ratings.

/hot like the home opener in Sacramento in July

Hey Paj thanks for the livestream links

Wow, Montreal looks lost. The 'Riders are making them look like amateurs.

10-0 SSK!

The Als look like overrated pansies. This is reminiscent of watching Ohio State in the BCS championship game. Also, if teams would not punt until 4th down there would be more offence.

13-3 SSk, aboot 1:30 left til the half

heh, two shanked punts from the als. that's terrible and a perfect way to throw this game.

Single point! fantastic punt.

Wait a minute, the Canadians have some weird taking-a-knee in the endzone rule so now its 14-3 with a minute left til the half.


/canadian football is weird

it's called a Rouge. basically if you aren't going to bother to run it out, the other team gets something for your decent field position.

Ok thank you. I don't watch much Canadian football, but it is fun even though i don't know the teams very well.

/the goalpost at the beginning of the endzone is freaking me out though

Aw go for it!

17-3 SSK at the half

Trust Montreal to choke hardcore in the big game. Canada's answer to the early 90s Buffalo Bills.

I personally love watching people try and avoid the post when they go barreling into the endzone.

Foaming: Aw go for it!

I know why they went for the 3 points, but damned it would have been nice to see them go for it.

I say that if they were on the 1, they'd have gone for it.

Resolute: Trust Montreal to choke hardcore in the big game. Canada's answer to the early 90s Buffalo Bills.

they already are. They can't catch shiat, their special teams are failing miserably and Saskatchewan has been able to march up and down the field.

A wise man once told me about 3rd and short:
If you can't get a yard in the CFL, you have problems you don't even know about.

Blue Rodeo's singing "'Til I Am Myself Again" for the half time show.

I presume the song's dedicated to Anthony Calvillo.

Wow... Blue Rodeo. We are such a stereotype.

Also, Blue Rodeo = best halftime show in a long, long while.

I know, but after last year...this is a massive upgrade.

Remember Black Eyed Peas from a couple of years ago? That was HORRIBLE.

Tr0mBoNe: Wow... Blue Rodeo. We are such a stereotype.

They are better than Sloan.

I think a stereotype would have been Stompin' Tom, Gordon Lightfoot, Buck 65, and the rest of the CBC singer/songwriter corps. Maybe next year.

Firefly4F4: Remember Black Eyed Peas from a couple of years ago? That was HORRIBLE.

that just about made that whole game unwatchable. ugh.

Canada's best band is playing. Nothing wrong with that.

I think they need to convince GBS to play the half-time show some year. That would be awesome.

Just read they played at the Gala yesterday.

Blue Rodeo so farking rocks .
