13th man. That was by far the worst sports related day of my life. In fact it was quite a bit worse than a whole bunch of non-sports related terrible events/days of my life.

Bought a ticket at the last minute, figured I'd be crazy to not attend the GC of my most cherished of all sports teams in my home city. And I lived about a 15 min drive from McMahon, just up crowchild. Went down, got a ticket for $100 in section N or M.

What a glorious 55 minutes of football that was. Give or take that amount of time. Right up until Durant threw that pick.

The section I was sitting was THE endzone it happened in. It all happened right in front of me. I swear I was the only person in my section to see the flag instantly. I didn't cheer for a single second. But the whole rest of the people around me went nuts and started jumping up and down, hugging. These two young ladies, about my age, in front of me were hugging and crying.

I just stood there pointing muttering to myself how there was a flag. And I knew it was against the Riders (though I figured it was procedure or offside, not too many men).

I can still hear that ###### randorf (i think) announce the MVP and hand over the trophy in my mind. And the associated image is of the intersection around 24th ave because I had left the stadium well before then. In fact my seat was on an aisle that allowed me to walk right out of the stadium as soon as the second kick split the uprights.

To this day 2007 and 2013 don't fully wipe clean the horror. I was at both the West Final in Calgary and the Grey Cup in Regina in 2013 and 2009 still hurts man, still hurts.

This is me right now by the way:

Spoiler!

I was in Regina for that game. We were in the Earls on Albert St and the place erupted, then was silent. And I mean silent. I've never seen a packed lounge so quiet before in my life. When we were driving back to my girlfriends parents place there was absolutely no one on the streets. What a difference a win would have made for the city and lounge tabs......
