Well for all Canadian football fans you know that the Grey Cup is today and starts on TV in about… ohh 3 hours according to my TV. At present I am watching yesterday’s Grey Cup parade and plan to maybe go to the bar and win (hopefully) the bottle of whiskey that is being drawn for. All I can say is
GO ESKIMOS!!!
The obligatory counterpoint :*GO ALS, GO !!! * 
WHAM!!!
Ouch.
Cool! I didn’t know the Size coding even went up to 8…
chair looks okay.
Canadians play football?
WOOOOO!!!
GO 'SMOES GO!!!
Heh… yah we do Duck… the CFL… quite similar to NFL but there are a couple of rules slightly different (don’t ask me to say which ones I barely know any of OUR rules but people I know who know the rules better than I do have mentioned it.
Go Baltimore (Colts)?
Well, it was fun while it lasted 
Quick rundown on the rule differences I can remember: 3 downs, bigger field and end zone, adopted 2 point conversion before NFL (who didn’t?). Some others that I can’t remember.
I think that we have 20 seconds to start the play where in the states they have all the time in the world (I think)
Well Myrr21, you can root for the ALS, because they’re the Baltimore franchise who came back home.
Here are a couple of sites outlining the different rules. The second one may be a little biased, though. To coin a tee-shirt, We have bigger balls!

Go als, even if I’m stuck at work and will miss most of the game.
Didn’t the (stinkin) Ravens beat the Broncos by returning a short field goal attempt earlier this year?
Almost kick-off! Updates as the game goes on!
ARGOS!!!
Oh leave me alone…
AFAIK (with my limited sports knowledge, most of which is gleaned from my sports-freak husband telling me everything you ever wanted to know about sports but didn’t care enough to ask), another difference is that the backfield is allowed to be in motion in the CFL. And GO ESKS GO (even though they’re from Edmonton, at least they’re from Alberta.)
We got chili, we got McAuslan Scotch Ale, we got black bean dip, you gotta know this is our year! Who’s playing again? Oh yeah…
GO ALS, GO !!!
I was pretty impressed that a lot of the players and coaching staff teared up during the singing of the national anthem.
We’ve already reached our ‘only in the CFL’ quota and it’s only the first quarter. Punt block + punter picking up the ball + 50 yard heave down the field + pass interference penalty = first down Eskimos.
My favourite one of those plays in a Grey Cup was a few years ago when a player caught a ball on a long sideline pass after it bounced back into his arms off the toe of his shoe.
Durn it… 8:0 for the Als… c’mon Edmonton!!!
Well, that begs the question of who was singing it.
Adam Gregory for English… and I dunno who was singing the French never seen her before
Oh and the score is 11:0
