Team Parties Party wise, Grey Cup weekend usually looks pretty familiar from one year to the next, with a couple of variations. I’ve tasted them all over the course of my previous 14 pilgrimages. At some, you can have so much fun the whole thing’s over before it’s started. Others are like your in-laws, only…
Moving Around the Very Cold City of Calgary You have several options to get from YYC to downtown: Public transit runs $8. Taxi from the airport to downtown is $45. Uber collects at Doors 1, 12, and 17. There is no Lyft! For the second year in a row, the Grey Cup Committee is doing…
We’re guaranteed a fresh match in next week’s Grey Cup and I couldn’t be happier about it. Edmonton @ Hamilton: Sunday, November 17th (1:00pm EDT) Pick: HamiltonCommon, does anyone really have Edmonton here? Yeah Trevor Harris looked like a god last week but he wasn’t playing a real defence. While something can said about Hamilton’s…
Introduction The Grand National Drunk has evolved from a game played on Sunday with some other stuff on Friday/Saturday, to a well organized four day party that happens to have a championship football game at the end. How are you to get the most out of this weekend? This will be my 14th straight Grey…
Time flies! Seems like this whole thing just kicked off a few weeks ago. Edmonton @ Montreal: Sunday, November 10th (1:00pm EDT) Pick: MontrealYou have to give Khari Jones credit. He’s turned the Als into a good team. Edmonton is going to have a very hard time winning this game. It’s good to see Montreal…
Not a lot to play for this week except first place in the west. Montreal @ Ottawa: Friday, November 1st (7:00pm EDT) Pick: MontrealOttawa is definitely the worst team in the league, even if Montreal plays their second stringers. Edmonton @ Saskatchewan: Saturday, November 2nd (4:00pm EDT) Pick: SaskatchewanThe Riders have first place to play…
I hate Calgary. You can print that. Calgary @ Winnipeg: Friday, October 25th (8:30pm EDT) Pick: CalgarySo after that incredible start the Bombers are reduced to third. No Grey Cup for another year. It just isn’t fair. I don’t care who you cheer for, it’s not. Hamilton @ Montreal: Saturday, October 26th (1:00pm EDT) Pick:…

In this league, you’re nothing without an elite QB. Ottawa @ Toronto: Friday, October 11th (7:00pm EDT) Pick: OttawaNo way am I taking Toronto. Saskatchewan @ Calgary: Friday, October 11th (10:00pm EDT) Pick: CalgaryIt’s one thing to lose on the road, another for BLM to lose at home. Montreal @ Winnipeg: Saturday, October 12th (4:00pm…
When you lose your starting QB, the first half of the season means nothing. Edmonton @ Hamilton: Friday, October 4th (7:30pm EDT) Pick: HamiltonThey sure handled the Bombers last week. I like them again this week. Calgary @ Montreal: Saturday, October 5th (4:00pm EDT) Pick: CalgaryThey might not lose another game, including the Grey Cup.…
