It is over. The BC Lions have won the 99th Grey Cup in Vancouver. I would term the game as being the second most boring Grey Cup in recent memory, topped only by the 2007 tilt between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. I originally said it was the worst, but my…

Today is Canada’s biggest one day sporting event, the Grey Cup. This trophy is emblematic of winning Canada’s football championship. Canada plays American football, with a twist. There are 3 downs, not four. There are 12 players on the field for each side instead of 11. The field is 110 yards, with a 25…

Don’t touch on sports to much anymore, but it has been an interesting few weeks. First off, the Rugby World Cup 2011was completed last week, and I can’t believe this but I am now hooked on rugby. Great game and nothing beats the challenge (Haka) by the All Blacks of New Zealand at the beginning…

Week 11 is now done, and I as I write, Week 12 is beginning. After last week, we can make the following assumptions. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are definitely not located in Swaggerville.

Week 10 in the CFL is now in the record book, and what a week it was. Labour Day weekend and all its rivalries, the end of summer, the start of let’s get serious football, the halfway point of the season. There was a twist this year as the Toronto Argonauts vs the Hamilton Tiger…

Fortunately things are happening that may help turn things around. First, firing Head Coach Greg Marshall and Offensive Coordinator, Doug Berry. …

A third of the season and it is time to take a look at what is shaking out in the league this year. I would like to be able to say that The Saskatchewan Roughriders are blowing away the rest of the league, but, in what can only be called a major surprise, they are…

Embarrassing is the right word, for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Calgary Stampeders. Opening game for each, against supposedly inferior opponents. Saskatchewan and Calgary were even playing at home. They now join the BC Lions in losing the dream of an undefeated season. Week 1 and everything is already upside down. Toronto Argonauts…

Riders – That Was Embarrassing – CFL Week 1.

The perfect season for the BC Lions ended with a thump on Friday evening as the Montreal Alouettes defeated them 30 – 26. This drops BC to 0-1 and last place in the West. All humour aside, a good game, which adds a couple of early footnotes to the new season. Travis Lulay of BC…
