104th Grey Cup: CALGARY STAMPEDERS vs Ottawa REDBLACKS

[Minnie]

The team with Mylan Hicks' mom just now. Yeah, I'm a big sap.

[SebC]

Anyone want to hit up a pub in Vancouver for this?

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Redblacks are gonna need big special teams, a few breaks like a receiver fumbling or a pick off a tipped ball and their stars to play flawlessly especially on offence. And they need the Calgary OLine to have a bad day.

I just don't see Messam or Bo or any of Calgary's main guys screwing up.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Burris injured? Man that's a wrinkle! Hopefully it's just temporary discomfort.

Hicks feature was very touching. Also loved Hanks interview with Dunnigan.

I don't care if you're still hurt that the CFL finally called Saskatchewan on their BS. There is a time and a place to make a point, and two hours before the biggest game of the year is not it. It's bad for the league. TSN and the CFL are partners. Kind of blown away to the extent they are taking this on. What the hell do they expect the commissioner to say? He's reading the answer the league's lawyers are telling him he has to.

I don't have a problem with the tough questions at all. I think Orridge is straight garbage. I just don't understand why they are being asked during the one day celebration of the Canadian game by a partner of the CFL of all people. The league is struggling, they don't need this #### on Grey Cup day. They need to be building the game up today, not tearing it down.

On the menu for grub today is:

Slow Cooker Whiskey Meatballs

Tortilla Pinwheel Bites

Bacon Crack

Dill Pickle Dip & Hummus for assorted veggies

Pizza Fingers

Assorted crackers and cheese

Baked Sloppy Joe "cups" to use up leftover sloppy joe mix from yesterday (just tossing the leftover sloppy joe mix into tartshells, throwing some shredded cheese on top and baking for a few minutes)

Whatever booze and pop is hanging around

@AJonSports:
Henry Burris limped off the field. Word circulating he might not play. #CFL #RNation #GreyCup#

[the_only_turek_fan]

I wonder how many CFL fans have heard of the show 'The Social' let alone watch it.

Am I missing something? Why is Shemar Moore hosting this? Is he Canadian?

I can't be the only one that thinks Trevor Harris might give the REDBLACKS a better chance of winning, am I?

I was about to post the same thing. I appreciate the CFL for what it is, so can the people organizing events like this please quit reaching and trying to be relevant in ways that make absolutely no sense?

He's from Oakland, but his grandmother is from Quebec City according to his Wikipedia page.

I would suggest it does, not because I think he is better but because the Stamps have been preparing for Burris all week.

[TheAlpineOracle]

My wife appears to be quite happy with his selection.

I wondered that as well.

I'm in your boat. I would much rather face Burris than Harris. We all know how Burris handles pressure.

[Weitz]

Do we get Chris Cuthbert or the terrible guy?
