So, I could come at this from 3 different angles. Since I am Canadian and just came back from a CFL game last night I will attack it from the one I am sitting in. If you are an NFL fan and you enjoy Thanksgiving football then you have your own angle. If you are a Winnipeg Jets fan then you're on board as well. Here is the the question of the hour...
Why the &#@% is Nickelback being hired to play at all of these sporting events?!
The other obvious question that goes along with this one is...
Who the blank likes listening to Nickelback anyway?!
And finally...
What in Sam Hill's name is going on here, dag nabbit?!
I understand that a mass of misguided fools liked listening to a couple of their early hits about 10 years ago, but what the crap are we doing getting them to play at the Grey Cup now?!
The truth is that they apparently opened at the Winnipeg Jets first first game in 15 years. And just when you think that that was weird and somewhat disgusting we all find out that they are playing the halftime show at the Lions-Packers game on Thanksgiving Thursday. To top it off? Well heck, they've decided that we'd all love to seem them on TV one more time a week later at the 99th Grey Cup in Vancouver.
Yes, organizers, please fill up the sporting world's schedule with this bag of expired excrement. Please let Chad and the boys "Cowboy Up" onto every stage so that they can "git 'er done" for us all with their droopy, lopsided post grunge diseased mess of a performance. And why stop there, I am sure that we can get them to play the Christmas special as well.
The fact that every one of these proposed events has been met with an online petition to stop them is a good testimony of the fact that this crap from Alberta needs to be shovelled out with yesterday's trash.
Is there one soul, one football or hockey loving soul over, let's say, the age of 13 or over that actually likes this band?
It angers me. It saddens me. It nauseates me. And if I had more time I'd tell you how I really feel about this. In a word, abused.

I can't think of a wronger band or type of music to match up with Detroit or the Lions. I think Eminem would be a cool halftime show!
they didnt open the jets game.. there was a massive public outcry and we got local boys BTO instead. nickleback was originally foisted by the nhl, not the Winnipeg jets organization. . thankfully it was changed.
That is good to know that the Jets fans had a say and they followed through on fixing that. BTO is good for that kind of thing for Winnipeg.
Joel: I guess you can go with Eminem or... Is Journey from Detroit? Oh, there is always Kid Rock!
