Van Halen helps Winnipeg Blue Bombers to Grey Cup Final?
My nephew is the starting QB for Winnipeg in Canada. He played for Eastearn Washington in the WAC, and made the Cowboys roster until 5 linemen went down the week before the
regular season started. Wound up in Canada. Don’t feel
Sorry for him. While he’s not making Brady money, he’s still getting paid millions to play a game.Most kids’ dream. Paid to play a sport!
Anyway, they beat Saskatchewan yesterday and are one playoff win left to make it to Canada’s Super Bowl (The Grey Cup) After my nephew threw a TD, the receiver was doing some air guitar. I asked him what was that about? and he said they’ve been playing Van Halen through there P.A. systems in the locker room and practice facility for the payoffs.
Tomorrow (actually just a little later this morning), I’ll be paying Jeff to overnight the mini Frankenstrat as an added good luck charm! Love those Canadians taste in music. In case you wondered, every team has to have a specific minimum number of Candadians on the field. Even then most are Americans. Johnny Manzel wound up in Canada this year. Got cut before catching on with another team that didn’t make playoffs. Playing level is pretty good.
Pretty excited as I coached my nephew until high school and went on his recruiting trip with him when he was deciding where to play college ball.
The playoffs are on one of the ESPN channels Sunday even in the States if you are interested. I believe 1:30 (PST) next Sunday is my nephews game. Once you get used to some of the different rules, it’s a better game to watch than the the NFL. No running clock, You can challenge a non call PI or a wrong called PI but once only, etc... Game moves quick with just enough reviews to prevent a bad call costing the game.
Go Blue Bombers!!!Last edited by Destructo3; 11.12.18 at 04:35 AM.

Pffft...while I'm happy for your nephew....Got Ticats!!!! LOL! I am a diehard CFL fan and have had some iteration of season seats for the Hamilton Tiger Cats for many years. It truly is a more exciting game in a sloppy kinda way. The hardest thing for most Americans to get used to is all the motion. On most plays there are 5 receivers all running full speed towards the line of scrimmage and timing it perfectly with the snap of the ball. Talk about a running start!
But I'm very happy with your nephew...I despise the team they beat. Hopefully they win next weekend as well and then lose the last game to my Ticats.
PS: Manziel wasn't cut by the Tiger Cats...he was traded to Montreal when they had QB issues.

I always enjoy the Friday night CFL games that they televise here.
I'll have to check it out.

IMO, this version blows away the one on 5150 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnS4jX9samo
