and yet we had some of the most exciting football ever during the 90s. what with the flutie bros, and Dunigan winning the cup with a serious shoulder injury, the best days of the pinball, etc.
I 've been a Leaf fan since I could crawl. Went to many games with my father when I was young and many more as I got older. I like other teams but the Leafs are in my heart. Same with the Bombers, since about 6 yrs. old watching on the old B&W TV. No matter how hopeless, I stick with my teams.
I feel your pain Dan; those have been my teams too. Growing up in Hamilton in the 50s/60s, it was almost automatic to hate the Argos but support English Canada’s hockey team (becoming a Bomber fan was another story). Remember 1962 when they both won championships? Leafs beat Chicago for their first of three straight Cups, and Bombers won the Fog Bowl for their fourth Grey Cup in five years. Don’t know if I’ll live to see that again.
In 2012 ROGERS have already canceled 1 Bills in Toronto game and now ROGERS has just announced that they cutting ticket prices for the 8th [and hopefully final] Bills in Toronto game by a WHOPPING 51%
If these games made sooooo much money then WHY did they have to cut tickets prices at all for the SECOND time? :o
No word on any extension of this series yet?
I guess that Rogers doesn’t want to look bad just 2 weeks after a completely sold out 2012 GREY CUP in , Toronto.
70% of all PAID for GREY CUP tickets [average price $300] were bought in Southern , Ontario. GO FIGURE. :rockin:
I’m sure this is in response to my joke about falling asleep during the Esks/Bombers game. Don’t worry, I watched all the Edmonton games when we won 12 games over two seasons.
As for the good in 2012; Calgary’s Eric Taylor :thup: rolled up 441 all-purpose yards against Toronto, second in CFL history. Winnipeg’s Albert Johnson III had a 474 yard performance in the year 2000.
With regards to the survival of the league, unless I have one of the bbm portable people meters, how will anyone even know whether or not I watch? If no one can tell, how will my decision affect the league's survival?
Wouldn't spending money directly on my team be a better strategy?
