Sunday the 2012
season comes to a close as the Stampeders take on the Argos at Rogers Centre.
For the record I’ll just be impressed if the game doesn’t get bumped out of
Rogers Centre for a full length Bieber concert and asked to move to Wednesday.
It’s an intriguing
matchup in this year’s championship as 2 QBs who were snubbed by their teams at
the end of last season go head to head. Hamilton dumped Glenn for Burris and Edmonton
dumped Ray for a salary cap coupon and the rights to a new GM to be named
later. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I will be cheering for the Argos.
Kevin Glenn aside, I really just can’t stand the Stamps. Also, I’d like to
think that a Grey Cup win for the Argos would be good for football in southern Ontario…
I’d like to think that. I know it’s a
pipe dream and the non-existent NHL will get more coverage in Toronto but one
can always dream.
The difference in the
game will be Chris Jones eliminating Jon Cornish. The Argos beat the Stamps in
both meetings this season thanks in large part to Jones’ D holding Cornish to
82 total rush yards and no TDs combined over both games. If he does that again,
it’s Ray vs. Glenn in an aerial battle and my money is on Ray. You know that
and the fact that David Braley has rigged the Cup so his charity investment in
the Argos will pay off… err I mean not rigged it wink wink.

CFL
Awards went yesterday… not that you would know since it received less coverage
than Gary Bettman’s bowl movements. I think it’s ridiculous that TSN now broadcasts
the 5th round of the Canadian Draft live online but the league
awards get nothing. At least the league has its priorities.
-
The
awards were fairly anticlimactic this year as the deserving winners were so
blatantly obvious that not even the reporters who vote on it (most of whom
wouldn’t know what makes a quality football player if it was spelled out in a manual
for them) couldn’t get it wrong.
-
It
will be an interesting phenomenon on Sunday when everyone who likes football
turns off the TV at halftime while everyone who does not turns it on.
