Winnipeg Blue Bombers up 8-3 over Hamilton Tiger-Cats end of 1st quarter.
Sold out crowd at McMahon Stadium Calgary.
Game on ESPN2
Long time Ti-Cats fan. Very frustrating game so far.
21-6 Blue Bombers halftime. Ti-Cats are a come back team, so lets see what happens in the second half.
Good halftime entertainment. Keith Urban.
Fans really into the game.
I like how the reviews in Canadian Football are done by the "Command Center". Gives it a more official tone. Winnipeg had a touchdown overruled.
Blue Bombers still up 30-12 6:12 left in the game.
2 lost fumbles by the QB, 2 INT's, 2 missed 3rd down conversions. The Ti-Cats didn't deserve to win.
One of the outstanding trophy ceremonies in sports with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and The Grey Cup
Winnipeg ends the drought.
Guy next to me on the plane talking about the game last night . Canada loves their Grey Cup.
One of the most interesting things to me about the CFL is coach salaries. I cant think of another professional sport, where the head coach makes more than the players. Average CFL salary is a bit under $100K. Coaches make around $3-400K, with some like Trestman (before he got canned) being in the $600K range, especially if they are the GM as well. The only players approaching that are the QBs, but the highest paid QBs are at about $700K i believe, with most around that $300K level.
