F-ING GREY CUP! TODAY!

Turn on NBC Sports Network (DirecTV 220, Dish 159, Comcast 55) right...about..now (kickoff between 420-430pm MST)! It's the 101st Grey Cup from Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan! The hometown Saskatchewan Roughriders take on th Hamilton Tiger-Cats for the a big Grey Cup! Hell yeah! Canadian Football!

Go Canadian sports teams!
As a bonus  the pop group Hedley will perform the 2013 Grey Cup halftime show and that The Sheepdogs will perform during the opening ceremonies and Serena Ryder will sing the national anthem (a great big bullshit call out to you if you nodded your head knowingly to any of these performers).
Look! It's pop group Hedley!
Whoever they are.
Grey Cup fans are really, really into The Sheepdogs.
Really. 
Plus! Regina will be about 10 degrees warmer than the COS today! So good day, eh?

Go Saskatchewan!
Enjoy the game (oh, and enjoy the mass-quantities of CFL player promo commercials! They are special. So, so special.)!

Stamps! Argos! Grey Cup!

It's on! The Calgary Stampeders will take on the Toronto Argonauts in the 100th Grey Cup next Sunday, November 25th, at the Sky Dome in Toronto!

Look at how HUGE the Grey Cup is!
It's HUGE! HUGE!!!
How will they lift it?!
There will be Mounties to welcome and protect you! And other Canadian stuff, you know, like maple syrup, toques, mooses, beavers, back bacon and donuts from Tim Horton's!

Watch the Grey Cup! Eh!
The pre-game starts at 400pm MST on NBC Sports Network (Comcast 56/DirectTV 220/Dish 159) with Canadians Burton Cummings and Johnny Reid headlining (I honestly have no idea who either of these guys are) and Justin Bieber (I love this clip!)...


...Carly Rae Jepsen (the chick that sings that annoying Call Me Maybe song), Marianas Trench (again, no idea) and Gordon Lightfoot (to capture the Great Lakes shipping disaster fan demo) doing something during the half-time show thingy.
Half time entertainment!
Canadian Style!

So watch it eh? The Broncos v Chiefs game is at 1100am, so it'll be long over by 400pm and the afternoon NFL games are just a sackful of suck anyways.Tell them PengoSports sent you!
The Canadamoblie will welcome the world
to the magic that is the Grey Cup.

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.
