One thing that stood out watching this is the broadcaster talks a lot more about formations and how the teams are lining up. We rarely even get broadcasters talking about a player substitution for an injury or a player taking a few plays off. Either the broadcasters used to be much more knowledgeable about the game, or they've felt they had to really dumb it down over time.

I was only 7. All I can remember is freezing, the ball hitting the goalpost, and overhearing my Dad on the phone saying “it was bullshit how they kicked those guys out” after the game. I guess referring to the shoe thing? I also remember complaining at school that it “wasn’t fair that Baltimore didn’t have to play any non-imports” and none of the other grade 2 kids having a clue what I was talking about.

Here's what I find amazing - that 11 years after the 1950 Grey Cup telecast, and the technology over 11 years of broadcasting hadn't really advanced. What the heck???

ok maybe I got the NHL and the CFL mixed up there....

It wasn’t being blinded by money so much as it was needing the infusion of cash to keep the league alive. All the talk about Toronto failing now, or Edmonton or Calgary struggling with old stadiums and BC’s failing attendance previously, is nothing compared to the death throes the league was in in the early 1990’s. No US teams and the league would have died. But the cost to the product was being required to comply with US labour laws which would not allow Canadians to take US jobs in favour of an equal or superior US citizen. So the American teams had the unfair advantage of having all US back-up players.

That’s how I see it, and how the adults in my life viewed it at the time too. It chaps my ass when people mention that 95 team as the greatest of all time. They had some great players, but that team deserves an asterisk big time.

yeah watched Masters of the Air and was hoping for Band of Brothers/The Pacific with bombers and instead got a lot of boring minutes going no where. Was very disappointed.

Keep in mind they are practicing against our pk. Connor Scheifele Vilardi did nothing when they were together. Ehlers Scheifele Vilardi was a top 5 in the league line. Until Connor is off the top line and accountability isn’t just a thing with 3 players on the 4th line, absolutely nothing changes. Nothing.

1950 was the infamous Mud Bowl where they say Buddy Tinsley almost drowned. Fun fact: Buddy Tinsley's daughter was my grade 8 teacher. The fan stole the ball in the 1956 game.

Back to back choke jobs. Should have 4x gc wins in a row including one in igf west.

After that game our cat got out and got under the deck, which is about a foot high. She got scared and hid far underneath. I had to army crawl under to get her. In the process I knelt in dogshit. Also tripped and smoked my head on the downspout. …It was still the better part of the evening.

The game was cancelled! Nothing bad happened!

ALL THE ******* DEMERITS!!!!!!

Remember when Cody Fajardo mounted a last second comeback to beat the Bombers in the Grey Cup? I don't. It never happened. * rocks back and forth sobbing *

I think there's a second tier of all-time running backs for people like Washington, Mimbs and especially Fred Reid. Will always be a Fast Freddy fan, he and Terrance Edwards were two guys worth watching on the terrible Bombers of 2009-2010 and his big game against the Lions is one of my top ten favorite bomber games. I think if Chris Garrett hadn't have torn his Achilles, he would've been a great CFL running back. That dude looked complete to me -- power, speed, and moves.

If the Ticats had any thoughts of mounting a comeback, those were put to rest real quick.

Why change the lines. Why do anything. Keep pounding those square pegs in round holes. Ehlers Scheifele Vilardi owned the league but can’t do that, gotta keep Kyle Connor happy.
