| 'Riders over Als 17-3 at the half! No, that's not the joke of it! It's time for the CFL and NFL do away with their title games being played at a pre-determined site and played at the home of the team with the best regular season record involved in the title game! Why, in pray-tell, should a team with a 15-1 record have to play for the championship 1500 miles form their home city, especially when your know a place like Calgary is gonna be filled with 'Rider fans? I'm not saying that's the reason the 'Riders are winning, and I'm not just saying this because a Montreal team is involved, as I've been saying this for years! Baseball is almost as bad, with the league that won the all-star game having home-field advantage in the World Series, regardless of their record compared to their opponent! Like I said, I'm not just saying this is the only reason Saskatchewan winning, as the Als lost at home last year, but I think a team with far and away the best record in the league should have the luxury of having the majority of the fans screaming for THEM! For God's sake, the Als aren't even considered the "home team" on the scoresheet! What a joke! By the way, the only reason the game in Montreal(the team with the best record) last year because it was their turn! But at least that worked out well as far as the top team having home-field advantage, but that was merely coincidence!

| I also should add that while the Als are my favorite CFL team, I don't watch an aweful lot of football(Canadian or American), but usually the championship games! While the Als are my favorite team, they are nowhere near the level of my passion for the Habs, or hockey in general! I just don't agree with the format for hosting the title games!

| Oh well, at least the Als won! All that other stuff I guess just makes it all the sweeter in the end! But I still wish they'd change the format!

| All we kept hearing was how the 'Riders are helped by their "13th man"! Well, it was their 13 man, on the field, that was their downfall! Great comeback by the Als though! If they had brought their "A" game for 4 quarters, they would've won by at least 20 points!
