It can be any number of things that do it. I LOVE Montreal, the smoked meat, the night life, the history, the bagels!..
couldn’t stand their teams.
I have family in Ottawa, love visiting. But good lord, between the Sens fans and oppsie daisying their way into two Grey Cup berths and one win… ugghhh
BC? seems lovely. never been. still not sure how Damon Allen was the most underrated QB in the league for what seemed like 40 years according to every CFL announcer and good lord that was infuriating.
Edmonton? screw you guys for stealing every running back we’ve ever had and winning with them. (ron williams, Troy Davis, CJ… ya i’m reaching here… ooooo wait, they saddled us with Jason Maas)
Calgary? still upset over 98.
Winnipeg, their team looks awesome… i really want to be able to cheer for this city… years of experience of CFL boards has been a constant reminder that their fans are terrible human beings online. oooo and Oshea
Saskatchewan kinda sorta in the same boat… slightly lesser degree…
None of this lessens my desire to see a game in each city (my wife doesn’t quite get that bucket list item… but these things happen) i’ll have a great time, and hate the city i’m in with every fibre of my being, all while enjoying the hell out of every that city has to offer.
and i’m perfectly fine with this particular brand of cognitive dissonance.
Spoken like a guy whose team regularly gets clobbered by both of these teams.
Contrary to popular sentment, I am cheering for Ottawa for a couple of reasons. In 2016, when they won the cup, Trevor Harris handled the situation with class. Elingson and Sinopoli are good chacter players…love story on their kicker. Have not seen too much cockiness from this team.
Secondly, if Ottawa loses, it show just how really crappy of a team we have… and it’ll make feel a little bit better that we did not get blown away against a third rate team.
I could not care less who wins this year’s Grey Cup. Don’t like either team.
No matter. I’ve got the wings and beer ready to go and it’s the CFL championship… so I hope to see some good football.
Boyz I am actually going for the eastern conference and the Redblacks as my angle is that if the Redblacks dominate and beat the Stamps then it was no fluke we got pasted last week !
