The Grey Cup

Wow, what a hell of a game. First OT since '61. I've gotta say the only football I really like to watch is CFL. 9 out of 10 times the Grey Cup gives an amazing contest. With variety too, sometimes its a defensive contest, others a kickers battle royale. For way too long, the Super Bowl has been almost predetermined and doesn't really provide much on-field entertainment (although they are pretty good at the off-field stuff).

I must give Danny Maciocia, the Edmonton Eskimos head coach, some props. Here he is on national TV (CBC in Canada), and the first thing he says is this was because of his whole family. And the fact he stuck with Ricky Ray. Now if the rumours are true and Jason Maas is out of there tomorrow, I think the coach has given his No. 1 QB a huge vote of confidence by leaving him in the end of the game and allowing him to win the game. I think this guy will go on to a great career in this league.
