Ended up the only successful of the expansion teams. Galvanized the city, probably blew away league attendance records. Went to two Grey Cups, and won one.
After two years, the Browns said they wanted to move here and become the Ravens. The Stallions have been the Montreal Allouettes ever since.
See where I'm going with this...  |
I do!
The original team was founded in
1872, however. You conveniently forgot about, oh, 120+ years of history
. Alouette actually means skylark, or lark, in English. They were so named in 1946. That's not even the start of Canadian football in Montreal alone, Mister Smarty Pants!
Did you know this year my city, Montreal, is hosting the 96th, yes,
96th Grey Cup game?
About as old as baseball, isn't it?
So take your apple pie, and your baseball, you guys definitely are passionate about them.
But DON'T claim football as your own, you newbies, rookies, wet behind the ears kinda guys that you are.
Plus, our balls are bigger.
