GO BOMBERS !!!

I have to support my next door neighbours, GO RIDERS!

Go Riders

The Riders are off to a good start.

Bombers intercept !!

Good luck to the roughies.!!!

Need a turn over near an end to open this up....

the trick is to get the play by play on the radio but watch the action with the sound off on the dreaded cbc.

works fer yer avg hockey game too or so Im told. I find hockey painfully repetitive.

The riders can't catch a darn ball!!!!

The Riders must have gotten some pointers from Danny Macioca in Edmonton, they are looking very average right now....need to pick it up!!

The game is closer than the score would indicate.

At least the half time in Toronto this time is better than Frank D'angelo and the Steelback 24 doing old Trooper songs ;-)

Ok, the Riders have made it up to me.

Beautiful comeback for Riders in the first half.

After being butter-fingered for most of the beginning, Saskatchewan get it together.

up 3 and a critical turn over in bomber terrirtory...hmmm the plot thickens ;-)

TOUCHDOWN BOMBERS!!!

Dinwiddie should NOT be throwing those across-the-field passes. You'd think he'd have learned his lesson after the first pick.

TOUCHDOWN RIDERS!

YEA! GO! GO! GO!

I am listening to the game in China. It is Monday morning.

I am so happy that the Grey Cup is All-Prairie.

Is Toronto doing a good job as host?

The Riders are driving. We here in DSM get the CFL on our regular Cable Station. Remember it as a kid. cool game.

GG Saskatchewan. I was hoping there at the end, but that interception ended it.

SASK WINS

GOOD WORK RIDERS

THE NDP CURSE IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Riders . Great game

Full marks to the Riders on their 3rd ever Grey Cup. Congratulations.

and RIDER PRIDE runs NATION WIDE!!!

Congratulation to the Riders. Sask deserves it.
I am not a fan, but with 2 grandkids born in Regina, and Kindersley, guess I can pretend to understand the game.

Congratulations, KateLand - turfing the Dippers, and winning a Grey Cup, all in one month!

From a jealous Torontonian.

Just think of all the Grey Cups Sask coulda had if the NDP had never been elected.

Congrats to my old home province! Rider Pride.

kerry joseph you just plain suck and should be traded or benched. your performance is less than rookie. throws behind the reciever, low throws, overthrows. my granny could do better

Congratulations from Manitoba.
Sask has the top Football team ... a good new government ... Kate McMillan ..... an economic boom around the corner .... wow .... good for you.

Congrats to the Riders and all their fans!

BRAVO, Riders!

....and it also looks like the name of your province is now KateLand according to Flaggman . Very appropriate. I like it.

Congrats to the Riders! My grandfather is looking down from heaven and smiling at the win.

Anyone else ready to scream from the number of times that Mark Lee called "Dinwiddie" a gunslinger?

Krikey, I'm glad that CBC is out of CFL coverage next year... They've been pretty bad for better than a decade now.

Dumping the NDP has its Rewards.

I'm more rady to scream at all the easterners who pronounce it "Sass-kat-chew-onnn".

We get rid of the NDP and already good things happen. Riders Rule!
Congratulations to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. They could have laid down after losing their No1 QB but they played extremely tough.

Shockingly though like the Janet Jackson Nipplegate scandal at the superbowl a few years ago Canada now has the Lenny Kravitz butt crack scandal. :)

The WEST won the Grey Cup and the WEST was the runner up. Go Riders and Bombers!!

The "GAP" is filling up nicely.

Congrats y'all.

The right way to go green. At least we still have one team of "Roughriders".

Bets on how long my boulevard art lasts?

Damn. Good game -- our defense kicked the crap out of the Riders, but the offense couldn't move the ball. This is going to make next Labour Day unbearable.

Congratulations Riders and Rider fans from this Winnipegger. Of course I wish it could have gone the other way, but you guys are worthy champions.

Congratulations to the Riders and their watermelon heads from a Calgary based Pegger.

Disappointed naturally but under the circumstances my beloved Bombers have nothing to be ashamed of.

...Sask was lucky to win. One good QB and they'd be toast.

Winnipeg had the better defense.

Dinwiddie did the rookie thing.

He projected his passes, he went to the same well too many times.

But hey, how'd you react under that pressure?

...then again I don't get paid $300,000+ for 18 games

Beauty. They deserved it.

WHAT A GAME!! Well done Riders!!

And now back to our regular scheduled programing...

GO STAMPS GO!!!!!

Cheers and see you next season.

We should take a page out of Edmonton's book and not waste any time in erecting road signs at every border entrance... "PROVINCE of CHAMPIONS"...since our new premier, Brad Wall, will begin the task shortly by making sure the premier of Manitoba honors the bet they had made. Perhaps we could finally sweep away the last vestiges of the "good enough" attitude that has pervaded this province for so many years. The change of government and this win could mark the end of mediocrity in this province once and for all. Go Riders!

I was at the game ($327 ticket, for which I paid nada).

Interesting to see fans of all teams in attendance. Some Lions fans in full get-up and face paint sat right behind me. Bomber fans directly in front, Rider fans all around. In fact the stadium was largely green.

Best sign was in the north end-zone: "B.C. Lions W.T.F ?!"

Which to me says it all - both the Lions and the Argos should be kicking themselves for not getting into this game.

Let's build a giant tower in Regina and call it The Johnson!

Just Kidding, Ha.

Go Riders.

Forgot to ask: Did they show the marriage proposal on TV? During each break they ran something in the stadium to keep the fans entertained, and in the first quarter they had something going on that in the end was just a ruse so a guy could propose to his girlfriend. They took so long doing it the teams stood there waiting for them to get it over so they could snap the ball. (Fans didn't even have the chance to say "Noooooooo.")

Those TV breaks have got to go - they really do in the momentum of the game.

So just what is your point

See what it does for Karma when they kicked the commies out of Regina?

A good Grey Cup...close to the final gun...good show Roughies!!

when the mounties brought the cup in i thought for a second they had a new and improved tazer . scared the hell outa me.

To all Toronto football fans, you had your chance for the cup but you re-elected liberals. Sask got rid of the NDP and see what happened.
Think about it in the next federal election.

Tories win.

Riders win.

Planets are aligning; it's the end times.

Out of curiosity: so, how many pages of coverage do you get for provincial elections?

I've run out of tears.

To DJ and the rest of the excuse makers, you can say what you want. When they talk of KJ and Riders of '07, it will always include "Grey Cup Champions".

Congrats riders and all the inbred riders fans.

Your pal from Winnipeg, Big al.

PS, I thought it was a great game, and a lot closer then what most people thought. Defense ruled the day for both teams.

Kate doesn't think the Riders could have pulled it through with the NDP in office, but let's be honest, most of the riders probably have no idea who is in office. If you're an American up in the Canadian farm leagues, Canadian politics are probably not as great as a focus for you as the typical visitor to this site.

I think Kent Austin deserves most of the credit for gettting the team in shape. That said I also think this adds to a sense of enthusiasm and optimism in the province which is anything but a bad thing. It was great to see them pull this off!

Congrats Riders!!Well done.

"If you're an American up in the Canadian farm leagues, Canadian politics are probably not as great as a focus for you..."

What if you're injured and hafta wait until the off-season to get treatment? Can't jump the queue on a CFL salary, "steve".

Toronto just recorded their 75th gun slaying.
The city now has the guns for the NFL players.
Strip joints,prostitutes and drugs are also requirements for the NFL.
Yes, Toronto is now ready for an NFL team.
I do wonder how much the potential owners want to bleed the citizens of Ontario for the team?
Maryland did forsaken their future for the Ravens. Will Ontario follow suit?
I must congratulate the Riders and their fans for their win.I also must tip my hat to Winnipeg for their superb performance.
Long may the CFL reign!

Congrats to the Riders from Winnipeg! Regardless of the outcome, you have to admit that it was nice to see 2 prairie teams in the final.

Kate may be on to something with her NDP curse. Last time the Bombers won was in 1990 under the Filmon conservatives!

Congrats Riders. A great victor for people who care about Football and about Canada.

Sadly, it is disappointing, and hard to understand, how a great victory like this turns into an excuse for Toronto-bashing for some haters.

Once again, here's a link to Stats Can.
http://www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/legal12b.htm

Murder rates:
Ontario: 1.47 in 2006, and 1.54 in 2006.

Saskatchewan
2.71 in 2002, 4.06 in 2006. HIGHEST IN CANADA except for Nunvaut.

Alberta: worse than Ontario
Manitoba: worse than Ontario.

From another Statscan report:
"With 9 homicides in 2006, Regina reported the highest rate (4.49 homicides per 100,000 population—corrected) among Canadian CMAs, followed by Edmonton (3.68). Toronto, Canada's largest CMA, reported a rate almost identical to the national average (1.83)."

So, those of you who love to hate Toronto, take the truth and shove it up your....

Regardless of the crime stats, if the Bills move to Toronto from Buffalo I will stop going to the games. There is no way in hell I'm going to pay twice as much for a ticket, drive to some mass transit station so I can get downtown from the burbs, pay $20 for a beer and $10 for a crummy sausage, and not be able to enjoy the atmosphere of a tailgate party in the parking lot (having beer purchased at the duty free on the way over). The CFL is just right for our uniquely Canadian attitudes towards fun.

Oops - at the end I should have said Ontario attitude, sorry to lump the rest of you in there.

Here we go bombers here we %$^&#!!!!!!

Wonder if we won in MB with the NDP in power?

Lori,I wasn't Toronto bashing but NFL bashing.
All are giving Toronto a double thumbs up for an excellent Grey Cup!
Go Argos!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Riders! A well-deserved championship for a great team and a great fan base. Well done and wait 'til next year...ARRRGOOOOOS!!!!!!

By the way, Lori...don't let the Toronto haters get ya down. One of the nicest things about living in the centre of the universe, and the best, most advanced and important city in the country, if not the entire Western world, is that you don't have to worry a lot about what other people think. :-)

Sucks. I was definitely pulling for the Blue on this one. Ok, Kate, you can ban me now. Heh.

Sorry to add this so late but I watched the whole game on KDMI, a digital channel, here in Des Moines, IA. Cheered the Riders on throught.

In fact I watched the CFL on CBC throughout the season.

3 down football is for real men!

"...if the Bills move to Toronto from Buffalo I will stop going to the games.

Agreed. Enough said.

God love ya, SK. Somewhere, George Reed is smiling.

What the NFL truly bring to a city.

Congratulations on barely beating a 2nd string QB that hadn't seen the field this year, save garbage time...

Best team? Try luckiest, having to face a Glennless Bombers squad and having your MOP look positively pedestrian... I guess you did what was needed to win, but man was it ugly.

I'm sorry Lem, your high pitched whine can only be heard by canines and babies. Besides, we're much too busy planning a parade to worry about sour grapes.
