After watching the 106th edition of the Grey Cup, I'm going to give my thoughts on the big game, but will focus only on the football aspect, and not some of the political things I noticed during the pre-game and whatnot.
Ottawa. The RedBlacks could have easily won this game, instead focusing on bad play calling, and taking silly penalties that cost them scores or field position. It's too easy to blame the field conditions, as this is what it's like when you play football in November in Canada. I believe that Trevor Harris will one day win a Grey Cup, but I don't think it will be with Ottawa. Rick Campbell should remain the head coach, as it's hard to get to a Grey Cup, let alone get to three of them in five years, and winning one of them.
Calgary. They didn't play as good as they could have, but they played just a little better than Ottawa to win said Grey Cup. Unfortunately, Calgary always making it to the final, and this time winning it is not that good for the league as a whole. Add to to fact that Dave Dickenson is an arrogant complainer, and his QB Bo Levi Mitchell likes to throw tantrums, the result wasn't what most of Canada really wanted. But......these things happen from time to time.
Halftime. Didn't watch it. Who the hell is Alessia Cara, anyways?
Let me end this by saying the game was decent, and had some entertainment value. Now that it's over, we can look forward to the 2019 CFL season!
Go Bombers!!!
