Official GDT - Mtl vs Edm - Grey Cup

[GOLDMEMBER]

Irrelevant! How often I post here in no way diminishes the validity of my arguments. Were my knowledge of the game somehow deficient, you might make that case but I've amply demonstrated the opposite.

And for the record, my interests are broad and I post on many collectible and music discussion forums. In fact I already spend far too much time posting on discussion forums.

ok whatever boss!

I've made this point many times during games at Ivor Wynne Stadium and Tim Horton's Field in Hamilton in response to 'Argos suck!' chants. "No!", I've replied. "It's the Blue Jays who suck. The existence of the Toronto Argonauts doesn't threaten the existence of the Tiger-Cats. It's the existence of the Blue Jays which does so." It's dumb, uncomprehending looks I've generally drawn of course.

Similarly the Montréal Alouettes, Saskatchewan Roughriders and Edmonton Elks aren't enemies of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. They're actually partners in this entity called the Canadian Football League. The enemy is the NFL and to a lesser extent the Toronto Blue Jays. Quite simply it's the NFL and the Toronto Blue Jays that have drawn interest and paying customers away from the CFL.

Having been in Toronto since 1977, I've sadly witnessed this myself. It's been tough to watch/stomach. And that may be part of the reason I've still not been able to embrace Toronto as my hometown. That's still London in my heart. One of these years I'll blow this joint for another town/city.

What does have to do with today's grey cup game?

Mods do we really need members coming on here chucking this crap up on the Grey Cup pre game thread?

Speaking of crap, how's this for a post on a CFL forum?

I be watching it between NFL comtests.
