The Most Magical Sports Day of the Year!

Is this heaven? No it is November 23, 2008. The day of the MLS Cup and the Grey Cup! Holy fu*ckin' sh*t! This is the most magical sports day of the year! What is a sports fan to do? Well their schedules helped out. As the Columbus Crew finished their 3-1 bitch-slap of the New York Red Bulls the Grey Cup pregame ended. Game(s) on (and off)!

What an MLS Cup! It was played somewhere sunny and warm looking and the crowd was in a festive mood. Maybe they thought it was another event and mistakenly attended and just made the best of it. Or hey, they may really like soccer. Stranger things have happened.

Right from the start the MLS regular season champion Crew took the battle to an over matched, yet game, Red Bulls team. Or so I would guess. I didn't actually watch the game. I saw the Crew players prancing about in a sort of victory dance after the game ended and before they received their trophy and quickly went back to the Bronco game (big mistake. The nancy-boy victory dance was better than that crap-storm Raider beat down). So Huzzah! to the Crew and their fan!

What can one say about the Grey Cup that has not already been said? Well, I'll give it a try, it is not grey. It is a shiny silver trophy. Crazy Canadians! Can't even get their colors (colours) right.

The Montreal Alouettes hosted the Calgary Stampeders in front of a partisan crowd (they had a db meter on hand to show how partisan it really was). Calgary didn't care and thumped the Alouettes 22-14, db meter and all.


Since it was Canada everyone looked drunk by halftime, they were gnawing on trees throughout the game and everyone, players, fans and officials had skates on and were using sticks to whack the ball toward the "goal". It is a weird country. But the game was entertaining, the halftime show did not suck and the whole thing far outpaced the Bronco Raider fiasco.

Good job to all and thanks for the help in easing the pain of another piece of sh*t Denver Bronco performance.
