Diamonds are forever


Montreal Alouettes (now retired) big bear Bryan Chiu posted this photo of the incredible Grey Cup rings the Als received Friday.

What's it got? Well it looks fucking HUGE and it is apparently bigger than normal. It's made of white gold and has 17 diamonds to equal the amount of wins the team had in 2009. On the shank you have the player's name and number on one side, and mountains with a goal post and a diamond football 'cause the game was won on that crazy bizarro fieldgoal in Calgary on the other.

I do believe the ring is the size of my hand, can also signal ships through fog.

By the way, have you seen the renovated Molson Stadium? I would love the Habs to play an outdoor game there... Perched on the mountainside with the cityscape below, the river, the Easter Townships in the background... McMahon Stadium doesn't really have that great a view other than the vast prairie air, sadly enough. It's rare to find a stadium like that basically in the downtown core of a city, surrounded by the century old buildings of McGill and the Royal Victoria hospital. Also the gates are like a castle. It's just gorgeous.
