The CFL does a great show with the 100Th grey Cup

It all started with the festival of the Grey Cup and I went to the Metro Convention centre and they had setup TV with highlights of past Grey Cup games and they had actual game warn equipment and Grey Cup winning team photos and that was even before U got to the team rooms where they had bands from the different provinces of the teams in the CFL and I went into the roughrider room and it was extremely cool. Also liven in Toronto actually see friendly mobs of CFL fans in their teams gear was endless and u could see a roughrider talking with a bluebomber fan and they even had autograph signing amd it was very well put together. The actual production in the Rogers Centre was awesome as there was so much dead time with all the commercials breaks TSN took they filled them with spots of Gino Reda of showing and tallking about CFL hall of framers and it filled the time nicely and it game the breaks seem shorter than they actually were. The performances were decent with Burton Cummings singing O' Canada and it was quite messy but because it was him people just sang with him and if it was someone different they would No. 2 it. Talking about No. twoing something Justin Bieber was destroyed starting with his picture on the big screen and when he closed the halftime show he was booed when if music started and then booed off the stage when he was finished as he sang Boyfriend and Beauty and the beat and in the end we will find out tomorrow when the overnight ratings from the Grey Cup come in and see how much more of an attendance he brought at halftime because that is why he was there. Carly Rat did both this kiss and call me maybe and did not get booed and it was a warm response at the end of her performance but it was her fellow BC natives Marianas Trench just were horrible and I do not know why they were there. Gordon Lightfoot sang a sung and he had Grey Cup performances on the screen and he was great and was the most liked of all by the actual crowd in the stands except that when the lights went out a lot of fans got up and headed to the exit. There still were problems with the production and that was that when Brian Willams tried to speak we could not hear what he was actually saying and that is a shame as he is awesome. Also the shilling products all game got on some people's nerves but it is the big game and the CFL needs as much money as possible to support the Argos and Lions who are very unliked teams in Toronto and BC respectfully so it is a need that fans need to suck up as it happens in the Superbowl and that is even more commercial than the CFL and a lot less fan friendly. The actual game it is nice that Toronto won as it give the city something to cheer about and if they do not riot I will be impressed and hope that next season ticket sales go up as it sucks to see nobody at games. Also it was very interesting that the west were on Toronto's side as they were against Calgary and with Saskatchewan being the ones with most of the tickets it was a pro Argo crowd and it was rocking and it looks like people there choice to get ticket this year as they are going to be easier to get then next season when it is in Saskatchewan. Here's to a 100 more CFL Tom Mehegan
