OFF DAY: GREY CUP SUNDAY

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2011 GREY CUP CHAMPION B.C. LIONS!

I guess a day off work is a day spent watching the biggest professional football event Canada has to offer. It certainly did not disappoint. The CFL tagline of late 'No Lead Is Safe' was certainly evident here. Good game. When it looked as though BC was going to put a stranglehold on it, WPG found a way to claw back within a 2pt. converted TD. I'm no fan of either of these teams, but I certainly admire the tenacity, grit, poise and heart it takes to go to the end. Hats off to both teams for a great season.

SORE LOSER COUNTERPOINT: I firmly believe all post season CFL games should be played at neutral sites that have indoor facilities. I think the Tiger Cats should have played the Blue Bombers at the Rogers Center, indoors, where it isn't -25, like in Winnipeg. That way the cold would not have been a factor, and the Cats may not have shriveled up into frozen husks on Canad Inns field. Guess there's always next season. Oskee Wee Wee!
