So up here in Canada we have our own brand of football for the sports news and sports on the web. It is the Canadian Football League and the Conference Championships are today. It is a great game and always very entertaining. You only get three downs so you better be able to pass the football or you are not going to be moving the chains. The field is wider and longer than the National Football League too, and the League has been in existence officially since 1958 but the Grey Cup has been awarded since 1909 when it was donated by the then Governor General of Canada, Earl Grey.

The Grey Cup, the award for Canadian Football supremacy

This year the Hamilton Tiger-Cats travel to Winnipeg to take on the Bombers for the right to represent the East in the Grey Cup, while out West the Edmonton Eskimos go to Vancouver for a date with the B.C. Lions. Last week the Ticats put out the defending champion, Montreal Alouettes in overtime by a 52-44 score. It was the most points ever scored in CFL history for a playoff game.
