Given the glowing coverage of the CFL in general and the Grey Cup specifically (for obvious reasons) in British Columbia, I was somewhat surprised to read this in the Toronto Star.
Grey Cup not only thing broken

WINNIPEG - Snapped the 97-year-old Grey Cup in half, they did. Left the national treasure being hoisted by the joyful victors in two separate pieces, a large silver saucer and a well-dented, headless torso.That, one supposes, was a fitting conclusion to the CFL’s championship contest yesterday, for it nicely symbolized a formerly enthralling brand of football that appears curiously broken at the moment.
How broken? The lowest-scoring Grey Cup “classic” since the dud in Toronto 15 years ago won’t have anybody outside of British Columbia talking about this one past, well, today.
