As many of you out there know, the CFL's Grey Cup trophy has been around since the late 1800's, ever since it was first donated to serve as the championship trophy for the amateur football team that came out on top each year. Many names have been enshrined on the cup since, and this year marks only the third time in it's history that the base will be replaced. A new base with a similar shape will be given to the Grey Cup, and every year from now on, one plate will be removed and sent to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame to be displayed.
I have personally been in the company of the Grey Cup, and it is an awesome chalice to behold, able to humble a man in the process. I think it's a great idea to showcase the old base (which will receive a replica Grey Cup), as well as each plate that comes off the new base. Here's to many more years of the Grey Cup, and Canadian football as a whole!
Even though three quarterbacks went in the first round of this year's NFL draft, the 2020 edition has the NCAA star power to make it one of the most explosive (and manic) drafts ever. Three top quarterbacks from the NCAA will be in the 2020 draft. Jake Fromm, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbet, and Jalen Hurts.
I know that we have a year before said drat rolls around, but I'm going to make an early prediction, in which Jake Fromm will go as the number one pick next year. I say this, because Fromm is easily the most well-rounded quarterback in the NCAA, and also the most disciplined. That being said, because the 2020 draft is so loaded with QBs, we might see the first three or four picks in a row directed at said QBs. But, only time will tell, and we'll all have to wait until next April.
So much anger. A lot of sportscasters are losing their minds over NFL teams and players as of late. Max Kellerman (former boxing analyst, and New York Giants fan) went off on a couple of rants seemingly directed at the Giants' brand new QB Daniel Jones, before later amending his statement to say that the rant was directed at Giants' general manager David Gettleman.
Stephen A. Smith (who always has an axe to grind) ripped into Ryan Clark and Greedy Williams for suggesting that the Cleveland Browns would not only win the division (thanks to new stud QB Baker Mayfield, and the addition of WR Odell Beckham Jr.), but the Super Bowl as well. Smith literally blew a gasket on live TV, running down the notion of the Browns even winning one game, let alone get into the playoffs at the end of the season.
Things are getting interesting in the NFL, to say the least.
