Might aswell start the thread now. 24 hours before kick-off.

What does it say about the CFL that they have to thaw out James Duthie to hand out the Grey Cup and can't let the people who cover the league the entire season do it?

I think it’s a TSN thing. That clown shows up at the Masters, Stanley Cup, Super Bowl, etc… 

Last time I saw Duthie was he was golfing with Kadri and Jeff o Neil and someone else on a tsn golf thing months ago. 

Anyone else’s tv blackout throughout the game tho for 5 10 second intervals. Happened lots and it’s warm and calm so not the weather.  Could mean huge viewership.

Damn now I have to put 12-5 in response to Rider fans.

They now win a Grey Cup every 23 years in their history, improvement from 28.75 years.

Can't wait to have my social media feed full of cockroaches who don't know the name of any Riders player telling me how they've been the biggest Riders fans ever their whole lives....

I need a mind wipe. Since I don't see any men in black, its alcohol for me.

This game just reinforces how key it is to win the line of scrimmage.

Saskatchewan prioritized a strong o-line, a deep D-line that gets pressure and a strong bruising running game that wears you down. Sound familiar?

TSN with the myth the Riders have the greatest fans in the CFL. And they are the best organization. IT just makes me want to puke.

Not us. We have Kolo on the OL & Thomas on the DL. And now they'll be coming back.

Yeah they tried their best to emulate the Bombers. Total younger sibling syndrome.

If it's any consolation... The Riders have won at least 40% of their Grey Cups when the opposition QB is injured.   

That game from the als looked an awful lot like a couple recent grey cups... offense just totally unable to string anything together because they're trotting out a guy who isn't at 100%

It felt like a ******* Rider home game at the PAS tonight.

Congratulations to the Riders. Best team all year, and the best team today.

Now time to vomit

Yup looked just like it. A few brutal turnovers and add in a D that just couldn’t make enough plays and that’s it.

I dont recall... sounds like something from 2019...

Just signed in. That was an exciting game. (Unfortunate that the Bombers weren't in it and why do they want to change the rules and field?.) The full stadium looked great. And, MGK, who I hadn't heard about before about a month ago, put on a very good half-time show. I looked at a few earlier posts with comments about the guitar players. They were excellent according to this 75 year-old ex-rocker. Next year in Calgary. Cheers.

Bingo. It is a miracle we did anything this year with the lines we had. Montreal got away with their paltry d line against us. But tonight it really showed how deficient they were

Well when you compare them with the 8 fans Montreal brought, yeah. Didn't seem like Bomber fans cared enough to pick up the slack. It wasn't particularly loud.

We did our part but we were among the only ones who brought noisemakers and what not...

Fourletterword!!! Am disgusted with the game and am considering changing to the knitting channel. Probably won't.

Oh man if you didn't you missed out on a crazy finish. A slipped stitch leading to a backward yarn over in overtime for the win!

Heaven, Pennsylvania, actually

The festivities around the convention center and surrounding areas were well put together.

I didn't see any Bombers fans cross the line at all. Going to the GC in Regina the fans were way more hostile to Bombers fans than Bombers fans were to Riders fans this weekend. 

Cringey too listening to the Riders fans boo Carney and yell obscenities any chance they got. But oh well, that's politics I suppose.

Other than that it was a well put on weekend, that's for sure
