A Grey Cup preview or something II

Jesus, there really are only 8 teams in this league.

Big game this weekend or Monday. One team on the up, one team on the down. The down team is at home, though. So that's a . . . I'm going to say take Calgary and the points. Book it. Analysis complete. The game will be played at noon because it is "Thanksgiving Day" in Canada. See, this site can be lucrative and educational all at once.

A Hearty Hello

(sound of a beer cracking open)

(a long sip is heard, followed by a slurp of the mustache)

(long inhale)


Hullo there, internet folks! Name of Young, Jim Young. They called me Dirty Thirty back in the day, and if you take a good look at that mustache right there, you'll know the name follows me still. Now I done played in the CFL for awhile - hell I even had some time playing for your Vikings back in the 60s, that Joe Kapp could sling it! - so I wanted to let you guys in on a few things about this here CFL and everything that it can offer. You see, football to the north is fun! It's just we do it a little differently up there, and it sure will help your pocketbook if you can figure it out quickly!

-----------------------------------------------------

1. It seems like home field advantage is huge. Take a look at the records. Hamilton and Winnipeg have just two wins each, and four losses, but the two wins for both of them came at home. Prime example of a team playing for pride at home. There are 3 teams in an 8 team league that are undefeated at home. I'm guessing the beer cup snake has something to do with this.

2. Montreal likes to score. They put 51 up against Saskatoon, but lost. They pounded Toronto too. They like to score and be scored upon. MENTAL NOTE.

3. Montreal's quarterback? CHRIS LEAK FROM FLORIDA. Hey, Dickfer, are you going all in, orrrrrrrrrr?

4. Edmonton Eskimos: They are having problems this year. The solution? JARED ZABRANSKY, YES IT'S HIM. Oh my, how do they not score 70 a game?

So get those bets in, Southerners!

Housekeeping in the Land of White Earth

Hey friends, are you.....



Woah.



What is this place?


Are you serious? Is this a blog... aboot the CFL? Friends, you have blazed a trail.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Navraj Bassi. That picture there is of me when I played on the Oregon Ducks. I was born in Vancouver, I play both ways, defensive line and as a blocking tight end. I wear a turbin during games, because I am a Sikh. I played for the Saskatchewan Rough Riders.

Why am I telling you all this?

Well folks, because simply the fact that I exist, and play football, should explain the differences between the CFL and the NFL.

Do you think folks in Jacksonville would cheer me on? Guys in Houston would be lining up to buy my jersey? I'd receive a warm welcome in Arizona, especially now?

Boys, it's a different league up here.

--------------------------------------------------------

Ok, first of all, to all participants, this blog seems to have begun in a drunken stupor as "Mr. Boatman" fired off an email to his attorney that he "wishes wee (sic) could half (sic) a CFL blog!!!" As such, there are very little rules. Do you want to blog about how Pat Williams took diet pills as a stimulant? GO RIGHT AHEAD. I imagine there will be some crossover with the failure blog on a lot of Vikings fails, but by all means, run wild. The title will still be about the CFL, just because I want confused Blue Bombers fans stumbling on here after downing a case of Labatt, and wondering just what the fuck is going on. I want us to be the blog that people hit when they search for "CFL Highlights", and then we just give them animated GIFs of Rocket Ismail falling down, or Ricky Williams breaking his arm. I want Canada to come upon this site only to see an entire post by Bob and Doug, breaking down the Alouettes' defensive shifts. In short, GO. Hell, should we do a CFL fantasy league?

Alright folks, the rules are non-existent. This is the CFL. Make of it what you will. The infinite is possible... at Banjo Bowl.
