CFL 99th Grey Cup Recap: Winnipeg 23, B.C. 34 - November 27, 2011

[Lockhart2000]

@Love4SK No shit, watching NFL football is like watching paint dry.

[Junostudios]

I'm sorry for all the CFL fans but any and I mean ANY Nfl team would crush any team in the CFl

[Lockhart2000]

@Junostudios I don't know if that's true but I do know that any NFL team would beat any US college team but that doesn't make college football not worth watching. Well actually neither NFL or US college football is worth watching because they're both boring as shit (imho) but you get my point. You don't have to be the most elite league to put out an entertaining product that is wort watching.

[DarthSchwartz]

@Junostudios Aug. 12, 1950 - N.Y. Giants 20, Ottawa Rough Riders (CFL) 6

Aug. 11, 1951 - N.Y. Giants 41, Ottawa Rough Riders (CFL) 18

Aug. 5, 1959 - Chicago Cardinals 53, Toronto Argonauts (CFL) 26

Aug. 3, 1960 - Pittsburgh Steelers 43, Toronto Argonauts (CFL) 16

Aug. 2, 1961 - St. Louis Cardinals 36, Toronto Argonauts (CFL) 7

Aug. 5, 1961 - Chicago Bears 34, Montreal Alouettes (CFL) 16

Aug. 8, 1961 - Hamilton Tiger-Cats (CFL) 38, Buffalo Bills 21

it would be cool to see games like this again.

[Barnac3752]

Cfl sucks and im canadian

[DarthSchwartz]

@Barnac3752 are you from toronto?

[CFLlions]

11 Bomber fans reliving the nightmare.

[widudeisgod]

They should do an NFL vs CFL all star game... That would be cool :) it would get alot of ratings too. I have a feeling the nfl would blow them out tho... Whatever, it would still be cool

[widudeisgod]

Hmmmm... I like the way the nfl is, but this is cool too, so its not the EXACT same

[ARM1231]

@Love4SK i hope your not insulting the nfl with that comment.

[SuperVancouverBC]

@Love4SK is that good or bad?

[runningback2BC]

improbable ? LOLOL not with our talent !! BCLIONS ROCK!!! that'll FIX that swagger LOL

[allahisgod1000]

Allah wants Ottawa to have a team again!!!!!

[SuperVancouverBC]

@allahisgod1000 ottawa is getting a team in 2013 and a city in the maritimes is getting a team in 2014

[runningback2BC]

@SuperVancouverBC FRESH MEAT !!!

[SuperVancouverBC]

@runningback2BC yup according to news reports and saskatchewan is trying to get a second team.

[jakbar316]

Tough luck. Bombers shouldn't wait until the 4th quarter to "start playing".

[rFxElite]

quick question? where was the lions fans when they were on the loosing side? go riders!

[88lostprophets88]

AND THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD OF KEPT JYLES OVER BUCK PIERCE remember 2010 thanksgiving?

[Buffy220]

Yuuuup,,,,,,

Bombers just cant win,,,ever!!

[Yoshiprince2]

@Buffy220 You're an idiot, the Bombers kicked the Lions asses both times this season, they only lost due to bad reffing, but that's what you get for having a Grey Cup team appearing at home, but the Bombers are probably happy they lost so they weren't the cause of a big riot downtown for the second time in the same year, lol.

[oldfriendofmine]

@Yoshiprince2 You understand that the Lions went 12-1 to end the season after they played the Blue Bombers, yes? Of course, all of those wins were just flukes and generous reffing.

[Yoshiprince2]

@oldfriendofmine Oh, they won 12 games this season? But the official CFL site says 11, weird.

[Yoshiprince2]

If only BC's refs weren't biased...

[HumbyGames]

Vancouver loses the cup = another riot

LOL

Go Bombers!

[Buffy220]

@HumbyGames Bombers just cant win,,,ever!!

[RockoSDMF]

Odell Willis and Jonathan Hefney disliked this 5 times each. GO LIONS!!!

[BrendanHobson204]

This was the greatest grey cup in my eyes ! And I'm a bomber fan , if only winnipeg finished the come back . but still my favorite

[cair15]

definitely some rule differences but the similarities exists throughout since I was able to first learn the Canadian version and that made it a lot easier to understand the American game.

[dex216sims]

@cair15 There are differences between American and Canadian football. With the CFL having 3 downs instead of 4 and a shorter play clock, you don't see long drives like in the NFL, which means you can't sit on a lead. More passing in the CFL than the NFL. CFL has fair catch, NFL doesn't. But it's still football to me. I like both versions

[SuperVancouverBC]

@dex216sims actually the NFL has the fair catch CFL doesnt.

[harrygorrod23]

Is there any difference between American football and Canadian football I mean it all looks the same to me?

[Magnifico35]

@harrygorrod23 Oh yes, there are quite a few differrences... Check it out on Wikipedia under "Comparisin of American and Canadian football"

[VANDRO81]

Whats up with all this CFL NFL hate. It's football people. End of story. Great game. Great finish. See yall in 2012. GO BC and GO Seahawks.

[dex216sims]

@VANDRO81 I don't get it either. I guess it's the USA vs Canada thing. I'm American, and I like the CFL. I like the NFL too. I like football, tackle football. Both leagues play tackle football at a high level. There might be some differences but it's still the same game. Congrats to the BC Lions! and go Browns!!!

[oldfriendofmine]

@dex216sims Well said. I like different things about both. I prefer three downs, but the large-scale factor the NFL has makes it more fun to watch.

[dex216sims]

@oldfriendofmine You're never really out of a game in the CFL. I think that's kinda nice for football

[Dirtdiver325]

Well that was some good football god damn right !

[StreetDriftRacer]

What a great game! Plus, lots of respect to the Blue Bombers and their organisation. Both teams deserve to be in the final, but I am glad that the Lions won. Go BC! :-)

[91gt306]

@Love4SK Please. Superbowl is a whole diferent animal. I bet you probably whine when anyone puts down this league but you put down the nfl. Hypocrite!

[beatmastert]

Congrats BC Lions "World Champions of Canadian Football".

[Yeowie69]

@beatmastert There is no such things as world champions of canadian football. It's just champions of canadian football dumbass.

[beatmastert]

@Yeowie69 since the CFl is the only league that plays Canadian football, they are indeed the World Champion BC Lions. Dickhead!

[Yeowie69]

@beatmastert No your logic is flawed. Canada was the only country involved no other country was hence they are not the world champions they are National chanpions. If thrier was and Internation compition if CFL and Canada won, then they would be world champions.

[abeastusername5]

Holy Shit. And I've been watching NFL my whole life. o.o



[Dirtdiver325]

@abeastusername5

You've been missing good football for your whole life ;) hahaha

[1busster]

I feel so bad for willis if he caught it and scored the bombers would of won

[PeteTheRock2002]

At least there's a Lions team I can cheer for. Not Detroit after what Suh did.

[SumOfThePeople]

This game hurt my soul to watch.

[Dxblock619]

YEAH LIONS!!!! not going to rub it in like SOME fans (bruins fans). I know what it feels like to lose in the finals.

[CCH3900]

@Dxblock619 At least we can feel a little better now.

[Rethidus]

4:20 Odell Willis ruined their chance at a comeback. I feel so sorry for him. :( And this is coming from an Alouettes fan.

[WhiteGuy4Hire]

\man i really do wish the cfl had more teams!

[zeldafreak71]

people need to stop saying that winnipeg is a "western city" because it really really isn't. it's a central city. 

[homerrulezzzz]

4:21 if he caught that it would be a completely different game

[ReflxStudios]

@homerrulezzzz 2:08 completely different game

[nashvilleraidersfan]

Worst Grey Cup in the past 10 years. Almost as bad as the giants/ravens superbowl

[CCH3900]

@nashvilleraidersfan Just a testament to 2 great defenses, so those that understood that, appreciated it.

[NesBoy1985]

@nashvilleraidersfan Who would know? I NEVER once watched an NFL game and NEVER will either :P

[nashvilleraidersfan]

@NesBoy1985 STICK IT TO THE MAN

[TheeUrbanGentleman]

Bombers finally got a team that can compete.

It's about fucking time. Congrats BC.

[meunier251]

well... damn. Great year Bombers! Well get them next time!

[P3RSIANpinoy]

Lionzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

man, what a year

[CFL35]

woo hoo

[CFLNHLFIFAFAN]

Pretty Up set the bombers lost :( but Congratulations BC!

We had great turnaround from last year, won the east, last year at Canad Inns! Still great year, but going to miss Canad Inns

As for BC what a turn around from 0-5, then winning West and Grey Cup at new Stadium good for them, was good season, next year will be great as well!

[kr192101]

The Lions Win the Cup! The Lions Win the Cup! :D Yess!!!!!!

[EpicPlatypus1212]

cool
