You could have bet for the opposition. And have chosen to NOT watch the game.

Although my bet is, that the B.C. Lions do win.

Small differences though; just as there are small differences in rules between a few forms of chess (rapid vs. blitz).

I do wonder why the American Football Fields are smaller though.

That name is dull and boring... They need to spice it up some...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_Cup

In 1909, the Grey Cup was donated by the then Governor General of Canada, the Earl Grey, to recognize the top amateur rugby football team in Canada.

Recently, the Canadian Football League considered renaming the Grey Cup with the name of a corporate sponsor. Many CFL traditionalists have objected to the idea, claiming that the league should not exchange a historical, national treasure for short-term profit.
