For all the poolies needing to check their tickets and Grey Cup pool boards, here are the quarter scores from yesterday’s 2009 Grey Cup championship game. Much easier to figure out than that official box score for the math challenged.
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | Final | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| East (Montreal) | 0 | 3 | 10 | 28 | 28 |

Tomorrow, November 12, Ottawa City Council will hear from 93 groups or individuals on the collaborative plan to revitalize Lansdowne Park. Included in those making presentations will be labour and trade groups which support the economic stimulus the project will provide and CFL commissioner Mark Cohon who will likely make a final statement regarding the opportunity for local ownership to join a prospering league that may not appear again. Friday council will debate the proposal and come to a decision no later than Saturday Monday. If approved, council will likely request a formal agreement be negotiated to be voted on in May. If defeated, it would put an end to the current proposal, the conditional ownership group and send the process back to square one with the football franchise off the table. Deferring the decision, in other words not voting to accept the concept, will also kill the plan according to the developers.

A big can of worms was opened last week when Dan Ralph of the Canadian Press reported the CFLPA was preparing players for a lockout in 2010. The lockout talk was precipitated by early CBA negotiations between the CFL and CFLPA where the league was making demands on two contentious issues, work hours and Canadian quotas, the players’ association could not accept. As the story played out, opinions on the matter of reducing Canadians were overwhelmingly against from across the country and from former players. Was this a huge misstep by the league and the owners in direct contradiction to the recent marketing of the Canadian aspect of the league or a way to gauge the reaction to such a plan? Only time can tell, but I will try to fill in the blanks around what is known and see if this makes any sense at all.
