Argonauts win Grey Cup
The Toronto Argonauts defeat
the Winnepeg Blue Bombers, 13-0., to win 38th CFL Grey Cup.
The Grey Cup is the name of
both the championship game of the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the trophy
awarded to the victorious team playing Canadian football. It is contested
between the winners of the CFL's East and West Divisional playoffs and is one
of Canadian television's largest annual sporting events. The Toronto Argonauts
have 16 championships, more than any other team.
The trophy was commissioned
in 1909 by the Earl Grey, then Canada's governor general. The trophy has a silver chalice attached to a
large base on which the names of all winning teams, players and executives are
engraved. The Grey Cup has been broken on several occasions, stolen twice and
held for ransom. It survived a 1947 fire that destroyed numerous artifacts
housed in the same building.
