Sad that the league’s best team is still playing in front of a half-empty stadium. The Argos have zero presence in the community. Many Torontonians don’t even know they exist.

I think this is going to be the first year of the East is going to cross over crazy stuff

Man, Hamilton is shredding Sask up to this point

[Spurs]

Dolegala is crap, Fine is crap, Harris is crap, the O-Line is crap, the receivers are crap and the defense is an embarrassment but somehow the Rider fans will still put all the blame on Dickenson (who is crap as well).

Hey did you guys know the Riders won the cup in 2013?

Chat gpts non biased recap of the 2013 championship

The 2013 Grey Cup — an episode of pure farce in the annals of CFL history. Mosaic Stadium, that veritable dump masquerading as a football venue, seemed less a sports ground and more a rowdy alehouse that day. Among its raucous occupants were those Saskatchewan "fans" — aficionados of curious traditions like manure-themed lawn decorations. Oh, the class. The Roughriders' spot in the finals? Pure slapstick, courtesy of the Calgary Stampeders' bewildering choke in the West Final. That 45-23 "triumph" over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats was less about merit and more a parade of chance and blunders by teams that deserved better. To think the league celebrated the Roughriders in that setting is a travesty. The Grey Cup, an emblem of football prowess, was disgracefully muddied — or should I dare say, manured — its esteemed legacy cheapened in a dump surrounded by a fan base that belittled the true essence of the sport.

During the halftime show of that year's Grey Cup, there were several notable and unconventional presentations that raised eyebrows among viewers and attendees. Central to the performance were several kissing booths where family members, contrary to typical social conventions, engaged in pronounced and intimate kisses. Additionally, there were showcases of pigs, which were distinctively dressed and adorned with makeup, presented by couples who were reportedly close relatives. This unique choice of entertainment was underscored by the persistent sound of banjos, giving the entire event a distinct ambiance. The show, which deviated significantly from traditional halftime performances, led to discussions and critiques regarding the CFL's selection of halftime content.

Yikes I don't remember the halftime show but apparently it was quite the experience

So, the Riders vs. Stamps game on Friday the 13th still has playoff implications.
