2007 GREY CUP CHAMPIONS

Some Great Shots:







WOOO!!! The Riders won again. WOOO!!!

The game itself was pretty bad, Joseph couldnt throw at all. But hey who cares? I sure as hell don't. The Riders won and thats all that matters. I have never been so excited in my life, except maybe that time when I was Jessica Alba's lovemachine. But enough about my sexy body. Today is all about the Riders. The game was pretty close, it was mainly a defensive battle but the Riders prevailed. And all hell broke loose. I was running up and down Albert St. along with 5,000 other crazed and drunk fans. I was giving everbody I saw high-fives, weaving in and out of traffic. Best night of my life, except for those with Jessica Alba. Fuck I love this city and this team. GO RIDERS GO!! GREEN AND WHITE FOREVER!!!

Belated Tribute

Corporal Nicolas Beauchamp

Private Michel Jr. Lévesque

I feel bad for not posting anything in regards to Remembrance Day and having just learnt of 2 more Canadian deaths in Afghanistan I needed to post something. I have also provided a link at the end of the post to the best tribute video I have seen so far.

While it is true that Canada is a world leader in efforts of peacekeeping and the promotion of peace, we as a nation, have a very strong and and significant military history. People tend to forget that these days. That is why Remembrance Day is so important and significant. It is a day when we as a nation gather to mourn and celebrate those who have risked everything for Canada. It is a day where we show them the respect they so rightfully deserve and should expect from us. Veterans don't go around flaunting their status as veterans, they go about their days quietly while we are oblivious to their experiences. On November 11th we gather to recognize these men and women for what they have done for us.

This is why I get so upset when people criticize our Armed Forces. Some people claim that Canada spends too much on its military. Yet I view it as the opposite. Canada needs to spend more. If we expect our military to carry out its current mission in Afghanistan and further missions, its personnel need the best equipment we can provide for them. They need to know that they have the equipment to perform any task asked of them. They need to be ready to respond to any situation that may arise in the future.

This is also why I get angry when people call for the immediately withdrawal of our forces from Afghanistan. Canadians need to show their support for the men and women in Afghanistan. Its true many of them may not want to be there, but not because they don't believe in what they are doing. They miss their families and loved ones and would rather be in Canada than in a foreign country for extended periods of times. But they are professionals. They volunteered to join the Canadian Forces, they knew what is expected of them. They also believe in what they are doing in Afghanistan. Canada's role has shifted away from combat towards more humanitarian efforts and to provide support for the Afghan National Army. Our troops know that what they are doing in Afghanistan is needed and they are providing an essential service. They just want the rest of the world but especially Canada to realize this as well.

Green is the colour, football is the game...

WOOT WOOT!! The Riders won the West Final!! WOOT WOOT!!

Next stop: Toronto.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders put on an absolutely dominating performance tonight over the B.C. Lions. Although the score was only 26-17, the Riders controlled the ball for the whole game and capitalized on B.C. turnovers, scoring 16 points off of 4 turnovers. The Riders now have a date in Toronto with the East Champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Nov. 25 to decide who will be the Grand Pubah of the CFL. The Riders are making their first appearance in the Grey Cup since 1997 and are gunning for their first championship since 1989. The Bombers were last in the finals in 2001 and celebrated their last championship in 1990.

This is the game that everyone thought, wished, hoped, dreamed and prayed would happen since the middle of the season. A meeting of the best rivalry in the CFL. It will be Labour Day x100.

That would have been the case next Sunday except for one little glitch, Bombers QB Kevin Glenn broke his arm today in the East Final. Glenn will not be able to play in the final on Sunday. Glenn is the reason that Winnipeg made it this far this year. Without him the Bombers are going to be shot down by the heavy artillery of the Riders. Saskatchewan is going to roll all over them next weekend. It will be embarassing to watch for any Bomber fan. You might as well just hand the Riders the cup now and start the parade tomorrow. You heard it hear first folks: Riders win 95th Grey Cup.

Final Score: SK 38 -- WIN 13

Army of Two

I kept this one till last for a reason. Army of Two was supposed to be released in Novemeber but has now been pushed back till March 2008 to "put another coat of polish on". Stupid EA people. But I do give them credit for coming up with an original idea as opposed to just releasing sequels.

Rock Band

Rock Band is very similar to Guitar Hero except, just as the name suggests, you are not just playing guitar, you and 3 of your friends can become a rock band. You get to guitar, bass, drums and have a singer. This came sounds like it is going to be even better than GH, yet I am a little skeptical about how the singing aspect will be.

It took me while to find a decent video for this game, but now here it is. Enjoy.

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

I know the least about this game than any of the others but it still looks like it has some promise. The gameplay in this video looks pretty good. This might be the only one out the previous games that is only rent worthy as opposed to buy worthy.
