Giving You More Than Just My Two Cents
Grey Cup Party
My wife and I were in Toronto last night for the Grey Cup party at the Metro Toronto Convention Center. Spirit of the West, Great Big Sea and a pleasant surprise of Lowest of the Low greeted us.
What I was in awe over however, was the massive size of the convention center. I have walked through the immediate Front St. lobby to get to the parking area under the place but I have never been into the North and South Buildings. Wow.
It was massive and very impressed with the overall showing of it. I have never been to a CFL game and I usually follow it a little, though this year, I have not been following, I can't believe the atmosphere around it. It was more like a college atmosphere than a pro league. Much more passionate than NFL fans. Next year, Im going to make it to an Argos game one way or another. I want to see the CFL experience first hand
For now though, we thoroughly enjoyed the show, Great Big Sea impressed me more this time than when we saw them here in Buffalo. Spirit of the West needs to tour this way more often I miss them.
Overall it was good to back up there if only for a few hours, hope to be back soon for some hockey, anyone got any tickets for me for a Leaf game? I have never witnessed one at the ACC.
I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Grey Cup weekend is certainly big in most of Canada, but in the past Toronto has been criticized for being less than enthusiastic hosts. This year, I think Toronto organizers and citizens really stepped it up and created a great atmosphere and party. The game itself was just OK and I think the right team won.
The CFL in Toronto still has a long ways to go but it's getting better. I had season tix last year (they were only $280 for the pair) and the wife and I had a great time, even though the dome was only half full. It was nice to see it filled to capacity yesterday. Hopefully the supposed football fans here in T.O. can take their NFL blinders off and realize that they already have pro football in this city worth watching.
I've been meaning to ask you since you're a Bills fan. If the Bills were ever sold to a Toronto group and moved up here, do you think Buffalo fans would still support the franchize? I don't mean you personally because I think you have a different view of Toronto, I'm talking about your typical American Bill's fan.
Im not a huge bills fan, I watch them and I think they are great for Buffalo.
So on that note, let me just say this, I think that the Bills moving to Toronto is the last thing that would happen to the franchise.
I think the NFL would keep them here because lets face it, they sell out every game here even if they suck.
Take Jacksonville for a second, their stadium seats 50,000, they didnt sell out.
Even if the Bills arent selling out, they are still getting 65-70,000.
The NFL can not place a team in Canada unless the CFL folds. As long as the CFL is operating I believe there is a no compete clause. Correct me if Im wrong.
Do I think that Buffalo would support the Bills, I dont know, this fan base has been kicked in the teeth a lot by the organization so I think that It would be tough.
There are groups here (including MLSE) who don't give two shits about the CFL because they're horny for an NFL franchise and will try to get one at all costs.
There is no stopping a team from coming here (no agreement at least) the CFL expanded to the states in the early 90s (albeit unsuccessfully), even had a team in Baltimore when there wasn't one in the NFL.
There are rumours that when the current Bills owner dies he'll sell to the highest bidder and these Toronto guys have a lot of money and a lifelong NFL dream.
Personally, I hope the team stays in Buffalo, I don't want one in Toronto. But it seems to be more and more inevitable that Toronto will get a team within the next 10-20 years whether it's the Bills or some other team still remains to be seen.
Right now they can't expand to Toronto because we're considered Buffalo territory, but if the Bills sell and move to LA or Vegas or Oaklahoma or wherever (let's say) then there will be no stopping them.
If any of you guys play SC2, there is a tournament going on this weekend you might want to check out on Starcrafting.com
Have you ever been thinking about the trends in our society? Focus has been moved from a young female to a attractive older milf. A lot of guys are looking for an older woman to be their teacher. What do you think about this topic?
The most recent controversy for Reality Kings came in the form of a Tiger Woods infomercial spoof that was quickly removed from YouTube.com, very quick after its premier. Also known for their comical content, the video featured clips of a Tiger Woods look-a-like selling a phallic “golf club.” The founders of Reality Kings began their venture into the pornographic movie production industry from their college room.

I'm having problems to grasp a concept why single moms are trying to get a man by any chance, just to get them to lay down. Here's comes the moment where boys could get a chick for one night fun, by not having to lie her at all. Have you ever heard of a milf hunter? I guess you didn't. A milf hunter is a guy that is looking for good looking single matures. I was wondering why single moms are looking for a guy that can't be there for them all the time. Let me hear your thoughts.
