Silly CFL thing I did at the end of last season. Nathan Rourke was a treasure, and I wish him the best (and of course, hope that he might come back to the Lions, if it works out for him to do so)

WHAT IF: The Canadian Football League (CFL) wore hockey-style jerseys?

The year is 1970. The fledgling Brentwood Storm of the Canadian Football League open their inaugural season against another expansion team, the Ravenport Acadians, located in Ravenport, New Brunswick.

But let's rewind three years to 1967. The year previous, the Saskatchewan Roughriders had won their first Grey Cup and while the entire province celebrated, there were those in Brentwood who felt as though it was so far away. Peter Wong along with Jonathon Bitterman approached the chiefs of the Starchild Cree Nation and the Lonetree Dakota First Nation. The idea was to bring the CFL to Brentwood, but not requesting the Riders play in Brentwood once or twice a season, but to create a brand new team.

With Wong and Bitterman, along with Aaron Deschaumbeau of the Starchild Cree Nation and Eric Halter of the Lonetree Dakota Nation, a business group was started, launching an exploration to gauge interest. At the time, Brentwood had become tied with Regina as the second largest city in Saskatchewan, hovering around 110,000 people.

This fledgling business group gained some national attention, which drew interest from another business group in Ravenport, New Brunswick. Soon, a second group to bring the CFL to the Maritimes had begun. Stadiums were built in both Brentwood and Ravenport. Finally, the Canadian Football League began meetings with these two groups.

On January 17, 1969, both Brentwood and Ravenport were awarded CFL teams. The bets began pouring in that neither team would survive five years. In their first season, Brentwood had a record of 3-13 while Ravenport had a record of 4-12. The very next season, however, both teams managed to make the playoffs with respectable 8-8 records each.

In 1972, Brentwood changed their name from the Brentwood Storm to the Northern Storm. This change was spurred on by the belief that Brentwood was the north. Within five years of this change, tour packages from other northern cities across Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Northern Ontario were set up with a CFL game in Brentwood as a very attractive package. The Storm and the Acadians became a CFL rivalry, as the home opener with the Storm was always against Ravenport, and the Labour Day Classic always had the Northern Storm in Ravenport.

Brentwood and Ravenport both touted themselves as the third French Canadian teams in the CFL along with the Montreal Alouettes. A small provincial rivalry had begun between the Storm and the Riders. Ravenport, being a border city that sat right on the Canada-U.S. border, used this to their advantage advertising that it was the only professional football in the North East of the New England States, attracting fans from the State of Maine. The Storm were the most northern professional football team in the entire world.

In 1989, The Northern Storm Sports Group, who by this time added a WHL team to their roster of properties, announced the completion of a domed stadium with a retractable roof. Up until this point, playing in October and November in Brentwood had become a roll of the dice to see how the weather would co-operate. On one hand, it became the place where tough players wanted to test their metal. On the other, there was the fear of frostbitten players and fans.

To open the 1990 CFL season, the Northern Storm hosted the Acadians in their brand new domed stadium. The roof was open for this first game, but by seasons end, the enclosed space was perfect for this northern team.

In 2021 bothe the Storm and the Acadians celebrated 50 years in the Canadian Football League. After a pandemic cut season in 2020 that saw no football at all since in Second World War, the Storm and the Acadians put the pedal to the metal when it came to celebrations. By the end of the season, the Storm and the Acadians met in the Grey Cup, the third time the two teams had met in the CFL Championship with the Storm walking away with a 25-24 victory.

Paul Woods: CFL 1994-Week 1: Baltimore Stallions @ Toronto Argonauts: First Baltimore Game in the CFL

Source:The New Democrat  The first Canadian Football League game ever for the City of Baltimore, Maryland, which was starving for major league pro football again to the point they would take a CFL franchise to show they can and will support good pro football. This is not a shot at the CFL, of which I’m actually a fan and watch their games in America, but Baltimore is one of the greatest pro…

Montreal Alouettes: 2023 Grey Cup Champions

The Grey Cup is heading back to Montreal.

The final game of the 2023 CFL season was played on Sunday at Hamilton’s Tim Hortons Field in front of a sellout crowd, where the Montreal Alouettes defeated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers by a 28-24 score.

Montreal’s Tyson Philpot scored the winning touchdown with just 13 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.

Winnipeg carried a 17-14 lead into the fourth quarter, where the only score of the third frame was a 23-yard receiving touchdown from Montreal’s Cole Spieker.

Winnipeg got the scoring started in the first quarter, nailing a 25-yard field goal off the foot of kicker Sergio Castillo to take a 3-0 lead with 8:32 to go in the opening frame. A quick first drive from the Alouettes quickly gave the ball back to Winnipeg just over a minute later on their own 44-yard line. On the ensuing drive, Blue Bombers running back Brady Oliveira scored the first touchdown of the day, a five-yard run up the middle to give Winnipeg a two-score lead.

Montreal replied with a major score of their own on the next drive, with the Alouettes’ William Stanback breaking open a 35-yard rush touchdown to get his side back within a single score with five seconds left in the opening frame.

The second quarter wasn’t quite as high-scoring, with Winnipeg stopping Montreal at the 1-yard line with eight seconds left in the opening half to keep the score at 17-7.

It’s safe to say this wasn’t quite the match up most were predicting when the CFL playoffs got underway earlier this month.

I don’t know if this will land with anyone but as a wrestling fan and CFL football fan, in my experience being a CM Punk fan is a lot like being a fan of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, in that it’s rarely rewarding (but when it is it’s fucking amazing), you wish you could root for someone else because it would be easier, and everyone else constantly makes fun of you/tries to make you feel bad for being a fan of them, but you wouldn’t root for anyone else for anything

As predicted, rightwing trolls are pushing to force Disney into bringing back Iron Man.

WHY? In case some haven't figured it out, yet, the Iron Man character was REAL GOOD for the Tech industry. It made all of them look like good guys, which, as it turns out, they are NOT.

Besides which, it's a trap, to also have an inbred reason to keep going after Disney. Trolls on Twitter and mouthpieces on YouTube are already mocking #Marvel just over a rumor that Thanos might be brought back, helped out by Josh Brolin. The gist of the narrative: 'Disney is finally admitting they shouldn't have gotten rid of Thanos'...

He's a villain! They're already saying the same thing about if they brought back Iron Man. So...the vast non-majority, made louder by social media, are demanding that Disney go back to the All-White, Male Lead days. And of course, if Disney does, then the so-called Left will start attacking them, and keep racial divisions going. We all know it.

By the way... Warner Bros Discovery IS ACTUALLY CANADIAN. That sure explains a whole damn lot.

And Robert Downey Jr made over $300 MILLION at Disney as Iron Man. Talk about double-dipping!
