Jills and the Bud Light NFL Pre-game Festival

@BillsInToronto means the #Toronto version of the famous NFL tailgate stadium parties. In our version they throw up a fence around a couple of streets, put in a confusing mishmash of exits and two stinking entrances and then keep the porta-porties just outside the do-not-exit! They did have the Bud Light ladies and the Buffalo Jills Cheerleaders so it wasn't all that bad. Seahawks ended up kicking ass with a 50-17 win over da Bills.

The Buffalo Bills were matched against the Seattle Seahawks playing in the Rogers Centre on Sunday, December 16, 2012, with a kick-off time of 4 pm. The Hyundai Halftime show featured PSY the South Korean phenom of "Gangnam Style" fame.

A Bud Light Pre-game Street Festival began at 11 am and ended at 3:30 pm on Blue Jays Way and John Street. Live music was provided by Everest and the R&B band Fathead and DJ Clymaxx spun some tunes on the main stage. NFL Interactive games brought lots of footballs into play and I picked up stuff like a big, blue foam hand, Hyundai sunglasses and Bud Light hand warmers and beer cozies.

Festival of Cheerleaders

Football fans from around Canada are making their way into Nathan Phillips Square at #Toronto City Hall as the 100th Grey Cup Festival builds up steam leading into the weekend Championship Game. The various CFL cheerleading teams are making their presence know with waving pom-poms and group cheer routines. Fans from all the teams are sporting jerseys and way out costumes as they lend their excitement to the pre-game festivities.

A free Calgary Pancake Breakfast is being prepared by Calgary supporters and the lineups to taste the flapjacks are long while on the main stage providing entertainment to the large crowd is the band “High Steppin’ Daddy”.

Argonauts Win in #Toronto

The @TorontoArgos started behind the eight ball before beating the Edmonton Eskimoes 42-26 during the @CFL Eastern Semi-final. It was a fun night of throws and tackles in the Rogers Centre on Sunday, November 11, 2012 and I think the Argo Cheerleaders put the team in a winning mode.

Eskimoe Cary Koch made the first touchdown very early in the afternoon game which started at 1 pm But the Double Blue couldn't be held back in the second quarter as they score the most points (31) in one quarter - making playoff history . They would continue their lead coming into the second half 31-7. After every Argo touchdown fireworks were set off into the top of the old skydome.

Eskimoe quarterback Matt Nichols was "forced from the game with a gruesome leg injury. He would be carted off the field after he was chased down from behind by DE Ronald Flemons.

Kerry Joseph would check back in at quarterback for the Eskimos."

Chad Kackert provided the last Toronto touchdown finishing the game at 42-26.
