Well, 2;45 am on Sunday & no one has started the Grey Cup Game Day Thread so it might as well be me. Let's Go Bombers. Lucky #13.

Feeling a tad nervous about later today but I think we'll come through. I don't want to even make Cody Fajardo jokes as we all know this is a winner takes all one game championship so anything (good or bad) can happen. We all saw what happened last week & what occurred in 2001 so we'll have to play our best. If we play our game, we'll win. Not be overconfident or cocky. We're the better team so just take care of business & then we'll be Grey Cup champions.

That singer better lose a hundred lbs or she'll never see 50.

What the hell am I watching?

Is this Rita Mcneill I thought she died

worst part of the music is there are recorded guitar tracks.  ie, not all of it is live.

that is lame.

I just asked my dad who he’s cheering for and he said “Never Quebec.” Hah.

I think she played O-line for the riders last season

Kind of choked that there's no home radio broadcasts for the Grey Cup.  Can't think of any other sport in North America that does this.

God I wish I could have made it. This weekend has been stupid enough. Time for the Bombers to make it right 

Feel like it's been a minute. Drinks soon, bro.

I truly have no idea who this is. Excited for Green Day though.

Jamie Fines.   Some low budget Canadian artist from the hammer.

I was wondering why the first song sounded good... Then I realized she (it?) Was lip syncing 

I say like the white pants after Labour Day rule you can't wear Orange after Halloween.  It's only 8 weeks.

I was going to say she's the CFL's biggest fan but I decided against it.

That is right. 

Listen, if you know me... You know this isn't my kind of music. But completely unbiased... I thought she had a great voice and it was fun upbeat pop music. I'm stoked for the people that like her sound.... I'm stoked for women of non-traditional beauty to be represented on such a big stage. I loved it and am stoked for her and her fans to get this moment!

 

A damn beautiful trophy that Grey Cup is.

To be followed by a quarterback of non-traditional beauty on the big stage.

Bunch of extremely average men complaining about a bigger girl. Would never be said if it was a dude performing. Not surprising in the least. Also, the vocals are live but the music is pre recorded (for this stuff and awards shows)

I agree.  I don't give a flying f*ck what you look like.  If you're music is good, I'm listening to it.  Bach looks like a skeletal corpse, yet I listen to his music every once in a while!

I wonder if they have any actual data on jamming those music performances into these kind of events and if they draw any viewers.

Halftime is kind of standard.
