Theatrical Masterpiece?

About a week and a half ago the CFL finally unveiled that much anticipated CFL DVD at a small screening during halftime of the NFL Superbowl and to everyone's delight the film was received with overwhelming accolades! A theatrical masterpiece? Everyone can decide for themselves, but while the final production is definitely not a historic epic on the scale of Lord of the Rings or a kind of ingenious visual production never before seen, most can probably agree its certainly very impressive considering the extraordinarily small level CFL Films operations in. Many more things can probably be said and debated, but after premiering the final product we close in saying we are extremely enthusiastic about 2008's "cinematic" prospects, so without further ado we present the general public with the main portions of the 2003 CFL DVD.

Blunders & Bloopers (Bonus):

Second most anticipated SUPERBOWL SUNDAY of the year!

After 20 weeks of blood, sweat and tears; the season comes down to one last game. One last game where two fierce teams are determined to prove they're the best. A game that determines 8 months of bragging rights and respect. One final game... the SUPERBOWL. At the start of each season every player on every team has the hope of playing in this very game. Many even go to bed at night with the vision of catching that final TD Pass of the year. All can hope and dream but reality is; only two teams can play in this game. And for the "other" 4 teams reality has set in quick. On the field this year it'll be the Ravens and Raiders entertaining us on SUPERBOWL SUNDAY. Although many fans and spectators expected the Ravens to be here, not the same can be said about the Raiders. Despite finishing the season as the 2nd seed entering the playoffs, many considered them playoff underdogs against the defending champion Eagles. The way the Eagles ended their regular season they seemed unstoppable!
But they were stopped. Many predicted "Mando Moss" taking over in this one. But he was shut down. Most fans wanted to see a Hollywood showdown between the Eagles and Ravens. But the Raiders had something to say about that. After entering the playoffs on a downward spiral many questions arose about the legitimacy of this team. But now theirs only one question left to be answered. It’s obvious the pressure this weekend is on a Ravens squad that has never been here before. A Ravens team that seemed immovable and yet self-destructing at times, especially in crucial situations. The question for them is; which Ravens team will show up this Sunday evening? Much speculation has been raised about the health of the Ravens QB, and whether he will be ready to go after suffering a knee sprain just 2 weeks prior in their game against the Titans. Although Edwin has expressed much confidence in Ismael as their backup QB, Javi has stated that after knowing Edwin and his love for the game, he highly doubts the star QB will miss this One. Although the Ravens might be slightly favored in this game, they understand they won’t exactly be "fan favorites" come Sunday. The Ravens will get the ball first, but home field advantage will definitely belong to the Raiders. Will the Ravens walk away with the trophy in only their second season in existence? Or Will the Raiders finally be the team to shut up the much hated Ravens once and for all? Get your popcorn ready!

One And Done

When a team’s journey abruptly comes to an end of such a long and rough season, many players are left upset, angered or disappointed as they try to figure out just what went wrong, but end of the road this season makes that failure even more bitter and frustrating because there’s absolutely nothing these players can do to make anything better next season since there is no next season, at least not as a team. The two-year journey for Titans and Eagles ended with their “one-and-done” playoff appearance this year and in that span the Titans finished the regular season 2nd and 4th overall while the Eagles finished 1st and 3rd overall in ’06 and ’07 respectively, with the main and most important difference perhaps being the Eagles Championship in 2006. So while history will remember the Eagles successful, at least for one year, the Titans and Eagles will share in the Patriots misery this year as they digest their failed season.
