Thread For Anything But Football

So Edmonton Eskimos, whose name has caused quite a kerfuffle over here, won the Grey Cup in the last 3 mins of the game. And Ottawa Redblacks, whose name is bloody stupid (they'll always be the Roughriders to me) made a bad coaching call by electing to punt the ball on 3rd down with just over a minute and a half to go. They should have gambled and kept possession.

No worry, lads. I'll keep you up to date on the latest Canadian sports news.

You always wonder who makes these lists up Doh

and, as usual with the BEEB, they are full of 'sops' to all sorts of groups and minorities to try and look right-on and inclusive in the eye's of the PC brigade Thumb up

although heads will be rolling for picking Tyson Fury now Laugh

I may have missed summat, but what did Jess do this year to get on the list Huh

Shouldn't have anything to do with Personality anyway!! If so for all the crap he spouts Tyson Fury would win this hands down!!!! Imagine his acceptance speech compared to one from Andy Murray??

**St Charles Owl** · 11-12-2015, 02:35

Imre, I think you are being very unfair is calling him confused!! I actually think the guy is a prat living in the past!!! But then he does look and act like a caveman!!
