3. Gotta be Montreal
No team using secondhand Packers uniforms is going to make it to the top.

8. Yeah...

I never really payed any attention to the CFL three years ago... I heard some radio reports last year, and this year I actually saw some TV action.

This can only mean one thing: In three years I will be in Winnipeg every weekend in full body paint.

7. My prediction:
This will be an overpromoted, under-exciting match between two teams of also-rans who couldn't get into the NFL.

There will be snow.

Beer will cost $9 a cup.

Miss Calgary will be there, no matter who's playing.

Angelo Mosca will be invited to be a guest commentator, and none of the 400 viewers will be able to understand a single word he utters.

The CFL museum in Hamilton will still go unnoticed.

The Argos will lose.

9. Now now
I find CFL football always more exciting than NFL including the Grey CUp which is usally an amazing game that often comes down to a field goal to win.

Really 9$ a cup?

10. It is Canadian money after all
It's gained some value against the greenback but consumer prices don't change as fast :P

12. Montreal
Matthews is too good of a coach. But look out next year because Flutie may be up there for one last go-round. Calgary maybe?

P.S. I am from Baltimore originally. The only American city to win the Grey Cup. I like the CFL. It has a faster pace and the teams are willing to take more risks. Plus you almost have to go for a touchdown on 3rd and goal at the 1 because the goalpost is too close.

14. Yeah I remember the CFLers
That was the best name they had. Only team to play with no name I bet. I loved the way the city got behind the team there too. It was a shame the NFL had to come in and destroy the market.

18. No doubt
I'm still pissed at that mayor. We did eventually get named the Stallions. From a contest to be precise.

They could have handled both teams instead of tearing down the old stadium and turning it into a parking lot.

25. Have you noticed this?
Grey Cup games are always exciting, but Super Bowls almost always suck.
