Yes I know it's sport, what else. What sport? And what does it mean to Toronto? I only get little 'bits' of things and am expected to be an expert straight away on all of it. And what has it got to do with food?

It's very frustrating all this information for an old man. This is nothing compared to business tax and U.S. import duties but it's all mounting up to me going to living on the streets for the rest of my 2 years of life.

Got those too.

which reminds me, time for a bath/shower.

It's Saturday night, go and have a good time out Judy. I'll clear the snow off the driveway with the lights full on and annoy the neighbours with my noisy shovel. Then I'll have that bath.

It is the Canadian Football League Final (Helmets, pads and rugby ball and far to technical to understand).
The CFL when compared to the NFL (US equivalent) is about the same size as the Scottish Premier League when compared to the English premiership, it is mainly played by Americans that cannot make an NFL team.

So like European soccer, you are supporting your home franshise, not your local boys......but regardless....GO BLUE BOMBERS!!!
