The time has come. All the talking is over. Its time to play some football. After some late nights and early mornings wandering the streets of downtown Montreal I can finally say game time is here. The streets were alive downtown last night with hockey fans who went to the Bell Centre to see the electric Patrick Roy retirement ceremony and with football fans from across this country who revel in all the festivities surrouding the big game. Where did I set up camp. That's easy. The Riders and Ti-Cats shared the same building for their hospitality suites this year and as you can see it was alive...........

Yours truly had the pleasure of hanging out with Weston Dressler.......

Geno and J O'Day.........

and some lovely ladies representing both the Hamilton Tiger Cats.........

and the Riders........(Gary Nickle---eat your heart out big boy!!!!!)

Those wearing green were even nice to this guy. Who's kidding who, I give this guy credit because some wearing green could have given him a lot of abuse for what he is wearing.......

All in all as you can see Grey Cup Saturday was well-spent. Some are in better shape than me today, some are in worse shape -----much worse shape. Its my hope they can be back at 100 percent before kickoff this afternoon. Sadly, I think there are some that won't. Many  have told me it will be quite the sight this afternoon to see Olympic Stadium with 65-thousand people in it and I am looking forward to it. There is a buzz about tonight's game and obviously most of the support is behind the hometown Alouettes.  Wherever you are watching it have a great time and be listening tomorrow morning for reports on the game. I'll try and post a Game Day scrapbook for you but I'll be a little busy so I make no promises.  One last thing. The memory of Ron Lancaster has not been forgotten this week with perhaps the best salute coming from Saskatchewans own "The Flame". Check this out.....
