Yes, congrats to the Als, but let's stop any of this dynasty talk TSN...

I just saw the score.

I just saw the score.

I was referring to some questions being asked of Montreal by a TSN reporter, nazzy. They have a good team, but nowhere near a dynasty regardless of back-to-back Grey Cup wins.

I figured that's what you meant.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Any truth to the rumour that they won the game only playing three downs? If so that's incredible !

I should add that Anthony Calvillo is one classy and courageous player and best of luck to him with his health/upcoming surgery...

 

[sTyLnK]

Didn't care who won, but I was hoping the Riders would tie it up so it would go into OT. Would have made for some even more exciting football because OT in the CFL is crazy.

i wanted the Riders to win but hey they had 2 chances at it and blew them both. Congrats to the Als.

also this was Calvillo's 8th Grey Cup in 10 years......... is that right? holy shit that is amazing.

i cant even imagine how big a story it would be if the superbowl winning qb came out post game and said "I have to have a surgery and I might have cancer"


best of luck to a very classy guy

couple things i noticed (just watched game this morn)

- Stephen Harper is a chickenshit. Goes to the game and wears Edmonton colours.
(no, he's not from Edmonton, he's from Toronto)

- Randy Bachman in the halftime show, was using an Epiphone goldtop, while his backup was a Gibson Les Paul.
(for those that aren't gear-nerds, Epiphone is owned by Gibson, but it is their budget line.)

- best wishes to Calvillo. His wife survived cancer a couple of years ago. Tough couple of years, and he's been the consummate professional throughout.

one more thing... David Duvall sure made that game a lot harder on Mtl.
2 missed field goals, short crooked punts, out of bounds kick-offs, almost gave away the 3rd down gamble.


he just hasn't been the same since he shot 59 at the Bob Hope Classic

something must have happened when he changed his first name from Damon

/on Duvall ... wrap your head around this one ... second highest paid Alouette

//i get it now ...

While it seems highly improbable Trestman would ever be told which players must be on his roster, it'll be interesting to see how Duval's future unravels with Monday's announcement of the resignation of team president Larry Smith, effective Dec. 31. Smith is Duval's father-in-law.

A DGB twitter from last night -

Darian Durant threw that last minute pass to where the 13th man was expected to be

Ouch

a subtle difference.... one that I have never picked up over the years.

Chris Berman was more excited about the fact that Bachman Turner was performing during the halftime show than he was the game.

Any word on what happened to Overdrive?
