It's ???? sad that so many Canadians don't understand this. We've had football in this country for 100 years and it's the undisputed #1 sport on this continent.
I'm so ???? sick of the Canadian sports scene. Just way too in to ???? hockey, and just NHL hockey at that.
The Americans although I despise their lack of hockey knowledge, are way ahead of us when it comes to being a sports fan as a whole.
During non-lockout years you may as well just rename our sports radio to the "Puck 1040".
Having over 40k will be awsome, in my opinion it's a travesty it's not sold out but I pin much of the blame on the BC Lions themselves. Their ticket pricing is mind boggling and they've completely priced out the casual fan, then they slap blackouts on everyone.
I completely agree with you on the pricing. The upper bowl bleeders should not cost anywhere close to what they're going for. Drop it to $20/ticket and just get them sold and get the house rocking. Sure you'd probably have a couple more ejections on your hands, but BC Place when it's sold out is an absolute fortress (well I guess based on the team's record, new BC Place is quite the fortress even when it only has 30k).

Hell Yeah GSP. Thought it was over when this happened though:

The plot thickens...
STAMPEDERS LB SIMPSON DOUBTFUL FOR WESTERN FINAL VS. LIONSThe Calgary Stampeders could be without their defensive captain in Sunday's Western Final against the B.C. Lions.Middle linebacker Juwan Simpson, who re-aggravated a right ankle injury in the West Semi-Final against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, didn't practice for the third straight day Friday and head coach John Hufnagel said he's doubtful for Sunday's showdown.Should Simpson be considered unfit to play, defensive lineman Deron Mayo will replace him at the position.Simpson is one of the few players on defence that has played all 19 games for the Stampeders and it could be considered a heavy blow for the team if he can't go.This season, Simpson has recorded 82 tackles and two sacks with six special teams tackles.

Coach B just needs to make sure complacency isn't an issue on Sunday and the Leos should be going to Toronto.

Honestly, from a Stamps point of view I'd have gone with Kevin Glenn anyway. Tate is a bit of a head-case and one sack here or one failed drive there would have spelled early disaster for Calgary. Glenn's been through the fire before and he certainly proved himself in Tate's absence this year. That being said, I think the Lions D will get to Glenn anyway.

CFL Award finalists are out:
MOP
Jon Cornish (CGY)
Chad Owens (TOR)
DEFENSIVE PLAYER
JC Sherritt (EDM)
Shea Emry (MTL)
CANADIAN PLAYER
Jon Cornish (CGY)
Shea Emry (MTL)
SPECIAL TEAMS
Tim Brown (BC)
Chris Williams (HAM)
ROOKIE
Jabar Westerman (BC)
Chris Matthews (WPG)
OFFENSIVE LINEMAN
Jovan Olafioye (BC)
Josh Bourke (MTL)
Little surprised Sherritt beat out Bighill for the West Defensive finalist but I can pretty much agree with the rest of it. I think Owens takes MOP and Cornish gets Canadian.

Refs on power trips is very common in footie. As much as Bonjour sucks I feel bad for him getting thrown in there for DeMerit and then somehow committing a penalty by being run over from behind. Great season for the Caps but Robson seriously has to go. Not even his bitching to the refs anymore but the fact that he has such a reputation he won't even get actual calls in his favor and that just sets him off more. There was one in the first half where he was knocked over from behind and called for a foul, somehow.

Anyone enjoying the new Calvin Harris album? I mean sure it's a lot of tracks that have been megahits for like a year but the new tracks are pretty good.
-
History is made! Not in the best of circumstances but who cares?
-
Suck on it Toronto. Yes, that's all I have to say.
-
What was the final? Got in huge fight with the future missus X and had to miss the last quarter.
39-19. The Esks D just gave up the fight at the end there.
-
Great debut from Reilly. What a game from Timmy and McCallum as well.
-
Other than that minor overthrow that was a great bounceback drive by Reilly.
-
Well at least Braley can't black this one out. Everyone gets to see Reilly in action!
-
Hamilton is playing the Canucks intro edit. I'm laughing, and crying at the same time.
-
3rd and a few with the game on the line, do you:
A ) Hand off and hope you get some good blocking.
B ) Run a quick-out passing play for the yards required
C ) Throw it 20 yards down-field and out of bounds.

Try and overturn that Toronto!
-
GEROY! The streak is alive... assist to Harris
-
Well, at least they're not disguising their attempts to hand the game to the Esks. All 3 close calls of the game go to the home team.
EDIT: I love how the D aren't phased. That ball almost came out before Jyles' knee hit the deck.
-
That's terrible. Overrule an Eskmos fumble with no evidence, don't do the same for the Lions.
-
Chippin' away awfully slowly haha
EDIT: The D is doing their part now though.
-
He gets a 10 yard penalty when the game's not even happening, he runs straight through your blocks and sacks your QB. Is there anything Khalif can't do?
-
That was a scary call on 3rd down. Good lunge by Gore before he got pushed back but that could have gone against us easily.
-
For such a crappy half this team is only trailing by one bad-call-turned-touchdown. Let's see how the Esks handle 60 minutes.
-
If the Caps get some of that home sided reffing in their last few games they'll muddle into the playoffs just fine. And really that's about enough.

I knew the lions were in trouble when the clock was running down on incompletions. Can't believe the offense got shut down so badly.
