The Jonas Brothers have a tough act to follow at this year's Grey Cup halftime show as Green Day was excellent in Hamilton.

Call me crazy, but I think the CFL has a chance to rebound here in Canada with progressive owners like Amar Doman and reasonable ticket prices. It's too bad the Touchdown Pacific game isn't at a larger venue because they sold 15,000 tickets for that game and they likely could have sold double that amount.

Already over 40,000 Grey Cup tickets sold for the November game at BC Place - That's pretty durn good.

BC 27, Toronto 26 with plenty of time left in the 4th quarter, but it's never too early to say the rouge is in play...

The Argos defense stepped up big late in this game.

Edit: The Lions are not done quite yet.

Now the Lions are done.

Winnipeg is going through the same thing the Stamps went through starting in 2019, the Bombers have gotten old (including Collaros) and some of their better players are playing on different CFL teams and the guys still in Winnipeg are not nearly as good as they used to be.

 

[mattola]

That's a fuckin catch

Solid game both sides

Solid game both sides

Small sample size (two games), but Jake Maier looks way better this year than he did last year. Stamps really shot themselves in the foot in that 4th quarter with turnovers. Aside from turnovers, the Lions won the battle in the trenches and that's often where games are decided.

They had a segment on him where he changed his diet and lost some lbs and then trained for speed and movement. He certainly looked more agile than last year

The amount of penalties the Lions took made me nervous that they were going to throw it away late

Technically the Rouge is in play in the MTL/ott game

27-1 MTL at the half

The Alouettes might just be for real (especially that Als defense).
