2025 Grey Cup Sask 25....Montreal 17 Sask was the better team from start to finish, yet the Als led 7-1 after one. The Riders then scored three touchdowns. The Als came alive near the end of the third and proceeded to score ten points. The Als were driving at the end, but ran out of time. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/11/16/112th-grey-cup-recap-saskatchewan-25-montreal-17/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/11/16/the-saskatchewan-roughriders-are-awarded-the-112th-grey-cup/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/event/saskatchewan-roughriders-montreal-alouettes-20251116/13272173/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/11/16/riders-take-down-alouettes-to-win-112th-grey-cup/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/roughriders-claim-112th-grey-cup-over-alouettes/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/11/17/landrys-5-takeaways-from-the-112th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/11/17/riders-o-line-the-unsung-heroes-of-the-112th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/11/17/3-grey-cup-mvps-that-werent-named-mvp/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/11/17/mmqb-harris-accuracy-key-in-112th-grey-cup-win/ https://3downnation.com/2025/11/17/tevaughn-campbell-marcus-sayles-deliver-on-riders-grey-cup-promise-with-goal-line-stand-seven-months-in-making/ https://3downnation.com/2025/11/17/turnovers-doom-alouettes-montreal-falls-short-in-grey-cup-clash-with-saskatchewan-roughriders/ https://3downnation.com/2025/11/17/saskatchewan-roughriders-cap-dream-season-with-112th-grey-cup-win-11-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/11/17/trevor-harris-paints-grey-cup-masterpiece-and-seven-other-thoughts-on-saskatchewan-25-17-win-over-montreal/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/roughriders-capture-fifth-grey-cup-title-with-25-17-victory-over-alouettes/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/11/17/5-stats-that-defined-the-112th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/11/16/3-stats-that-defined-the-first-half-of-the-112th-grey-cup/ ***** Grey Cup Plays of the Game https://www.cfl.ca/2025/11/17/cfl-plays-of-the-week-112th-grey-cup/ ***** The television ratings were up 12 percent over last year.

It’s a season that seems to bring out every emotion for me, from celebratory joy to disappointment and sadness to optimism and hope. As a writer, I’ve found the holidays to be a perfect moment to capture those emotions through song,” Griesbach said.

Jeremy Pelt Christmas Interlude Impacting November 14th, 2025 Format: Jazz # Artist and Track Title Time 1. Jeremy Pelt - The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) 04:10 2. Jeremy Pelt - We Three Kings 04:20 3. Jeremy Pelt - Christmas Time Is Here 04:39 4. Jeremy Pelt - The Little Drummer Boy 03:52 5. Jeremy Pelt - Winter Wonderland 04:53 New from HighNote Records JEREMY PELT - Christmas Interlude Jeremy Pelt - trumpet Victor Gould – piano, Fender Rhodes (tr. 2-4) Leighton Harrell – acoustic bass (except tr. 1) Jared Spears – drums (except tr. 1) Jeremy Pelt isn't content to just dust off the holiday songbook — he gives it a bright new shine. One of today's most creative and consistently compelling trumpeters, Pelt brings his signature mix of smarts, soul, and swing to this inspired set list, where classic fare gets a decidedly contemporary spin. In the capable hands of this all-star quartet, “Winter Wonderland” bounces along with straight-ahead joy, “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire” glows with intimacy, while “The Little Drummer Boy” and “We Three Kings” get a sleek, modern makeover courtesy of the Fender Rhodes and the group's cool, clever arrangements. It's all vintage Pelt — inventive, soulful, and deeply musical. Sure, it's a Christmas album, but at its core, it's a sparkling celebration of jazz itself, played with warmth, wit, and real sophistication. - Ray Osnato for HighNote Records Like our stuff?

Grey Cup picks https://doorfliesopen.com/2025/11/13/cfl-beat-257/ My pick... Alouettes over Roughriders - This game is as unpredictable as they come.

Great to see you Evan! Montreal - 50 is already taken. The picks are bunched together this year. Still available... Montreal - Anything 30 and below, 40, 70 and above. Sask - Anything 35 and below, 65 and above. As we approach the end of the year, Santa Claus is on the lookout for boys and girls to put on his naughty list. And now comes JSngry, who volunteers by picking 34 for his tiebreaker. The Command Centre, upon further review, has ruled that Sangrey's tiebreaker will be 35.
