Yes, they are on top of the west yet again, and yes, they have one of the best coaches in the league, and yes, they have one of the best QB's in the CFL, but does the rest of the CFL (or us fans for that matter) care anymore? The Calgary Stampeders have been tops in the league for some time, having great coaches and GM's as well as a deep roster to sustain them. That's not the real problem that most of us have with them, however.
It's the fact that they expect to win every game, and that the commentators and scribes alike feel the need to shove all this in our faces week after week. I'm not saying they're not a good team, I'm just saying I'm tired of hearing/seeing them at every turn. Need I remind everyone that they are so good to the point that they have totally screwed themselves out of a Grey Cup two years running at this point. Mr. Hero (Bo Levi Mitchell) seems to think it's okay to throw the playbook out of the window as times runs out in football's biggest game.
I'm not ready to crown them, and neither should anyone else. The Stamps are just as imperfect and human as everyone else on the planet. So there.
