Well, groovy guys and groovy gals all around the world, this weekend is the umpteenth playing of the Canadian Fall Classic -- Canadian Football League Championship 'Grey Cup'. Yes the cup was a gift by that Lord Grey for whom the tea is named, when he was an Earl... and I don't mean the one the Dixie Chicks were singing about, although he did share some characteristics, but thats another story.

The teams... the Montreal Alouettes, and the Edmonton Eskimos. Hey, how about that its the home team playing for the cup! So if you have some kind of access to CFL, you'll get a glimpse of Edmonton this weekend. For those more familiar with 'footie' CFL football has more in common with NFL-American gridiron action... but 3 downs, instead of 4, a 110-yard ( &wider)pitch, and 20 seconds between plays...
Scoring is plentiful, and happens like a road accident... right out of the blue, so watch it!

Hey Cine,

I have no affiliation with either team as I am a fan of the double blue. But one thing is for sure the Grey Cup always produces a great game regardless of who is playing for it, unlike the Super Bowl. I guess for your sake, go Eskies go. ;D

Oh my god that was good football, i just came back from our first win in pre season here in Ottawa. We took on the Montreal Allouetes and won in a close 21-19 finish. It was a down to the line win, amazing football from both teams, cant wait till seasons starts
