Surprised to see the Blue Bombers blow it like that. Ouch! 

Arbuckle.

That was the story.

Strong defence too.

Grey Cup Pick

Toronto Argonauts/Winnipeg Blue Bombers: crisis set in last Saturday when the Argonauts definitively pulled ahead, but that doesn't mean the CFL just shuts down and casually waits for the beginning of next season. There's a story for the Grey Cup anyways a backup quarterback who could inspire legend, Nick Arbuckle getting the start he must be pumped what compelling affairs. Fittingly, in his first start for the Argos in 2021, according to Wikipedia, he defeated the Blue Bombers no less, if he wins this one he could sign for big bucks, meaning his first and last games with Toronto will have led to huge Blue Bomber defeats. I have to admit though, although the Arbuckle story is the most exciting thing for me about this game, with the Jets playing so well, I'm daring to dream this is the year of the 'Peg! And therefore can't shut the Blue Bombers down again this weekend anyways. Good luck to feisty Manitoba. Go Winnipeg Go!

Congratulations to the Montréal Alouettes!

That was an amazing game.

Winnipeg fought hard and it game down to the final moments. 

An incredible win for outstanding fans.

Those games are so much fun to go to.

Even when Hamilton isn't playing! 😻

Félicitations!

Grey Cup Pick

Winnipeg Blue Bombers/Montréal Alouettes: I don't know if you've ever driven to Winnipeg but it's worth doing at least once. The trek west is full of wonder and the forest seems like it will never end. But then when you hit Manitoba it abruptly does and you find yourself suddenly surrounded by farmer's fields. Approaching the chill city that farmers built. Farmers who vote for the NDP. Its football team has distinguished itself over the years and has recently put together quite the run. If they had only scored two more points they would have in fact won the Grey Cup three years in a row. This year it's back to the Hammer to contend down south for the coveted trophy. In a city where they've beaten the home team far too often. No need to mention how many times. But Montréal. I just looked through the Grey Cup list of champions. And Winnipeg has never played Montréal in the finals! In a year where the Alouettes owned Hamilton, it's time they kept that unprecedented (?) streak alive. To exceptionally emerge indubitably possessive of unheralded herculean triumph! The Cup heading back to Montréal! Fajardo and the D having emerged CFL legends. Faites du Bruit! 🏈

Grey Cup 2022

I've got to admit, I wasn't that excited about Winnipeg playing Toronto in the Grey Cup, especially after Nathan Rourke's big playoff win against Calgary, but nevertheless, that was one of the best Grey Cups or Super Bowls I've ever seen, with an incredible fourth quarter (McLeod goes down and his backup Chad Kelley comes in and makes big plays, under the maximum amount of pressure a QB can face, plus two blocked field goals, that's insane!). Sigh. If you're a Ti-Cat fan and Hamilton loses to someone two years in a row in the Grey Cup, you just know that if Toronto plays them the next year they're going to win, the Argos are going to win that is. Why is it written that way? I have no idea. But at least the Bombers didn't win three straight. As for 2023. Perhaps anything can happen . . . 🤔 🏈 Can't wait for the CFL to start up again next June. Thanks for such an incredible year!
