    festivities. Too bad they BOTH can't lose.


    Damn Sharx, you are a grumpy old bastid.

    Grey Cup 2021 final score, results: Zach Collaros' TD pass in OT gives >Winnipeg second Grey Cup title in a row

    GreyCup-Final-12122021-Getty-FTR(Getty Images)
    Winnipeg waited 750 days and an extra period, but the Blue Bombers
    repeated as Grey Cup champions Sunday, beating Hamilton 33-25 in
    overtime in a home game for the Tiger Cats.

    The Blue Bombers are the CFL's first repeat Grey Cup champions since
    2009-10 when Montreal went back-to-back. Sunday's game was only the
    fourth Grey Cup final to go to overtime and the first since 2016. The
    2020 CFL season was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    After throwing two interceptions in the third quarter and after
    struggling in the red zone all night, Winnipeg's Zach Collaros, the
    CFL's Most Outstanding Player in 2021, hit a wide-open Darvin Adams in
    the end zone and then cashed in on the 2-point conversion to give
    Winnipeg the lead. The Blue Bombers intercepted Jeremiah Masoli on
    Hamilton's overtime possession to seal the win.

    Collaros, the former Cincinnati Bearcats QB, finished the night 21 of 32
    for 240 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

    The CFL's leading receiver, Winnipeg's Kenny Lawler, was held in check.
    He hauled in just three catches for 41 yards as Collaros spread the ball >around to six different receivers.

    MORE: CFL overtime rules explained

    Masoli came in in relief of Hamilton starter Dane Evans, who went 4 for
    9 with an interception before leaving the game with an injury in the
    first half. The former Oregon standout finished 20 for 25 for 185 yards
    and two touchdowns through the air, while adding another 35 yards on the >ground.

    The win gives the Blue Bombers their 12th Grey Cup title in franchise >history. They were making their 26th Grey Cup appearance, the most of
    any CFL franchise.

    Does your landlord not provide TSN binky? You should teach him a lesson
    and move out.

    It was a great nail biter of a game, right down the wire.

    I'm not happy about the CFL games not being on a free to air broadcaster but I have admit that TSN has been a good thing for the CFL. They provide excellent coverage (or at least they used to as I haven't seen it in a while due to be a cord cutter) and I believe that they came in when CBC dropped the CFL a long time ago. TSN has always promoted the CFL and sold the game, which is more
    than CBC ever did. CBC only really cares about is NHL hockey and the Olympics and neither of those really meets their mandate.

    CTV regular should air CFL ahead of NFL!!

    CTV is a private organization that is responsible to their shareholders. While it would be nice if they placed a higher priority on the CFL than the NFL that is not going to happen until public opinion in Canada changes. Unfortunately many people in Canada feel that the NFL provides more entertainment despite it taking a half hour to play the last two minutes in big games. :) The NFL has had rules changed to allow advertising to be placed within the game as much as possible. Hence, longer stoppages between plays and more ways to stop the clock. Even the extra down allows a team to waste an attempt to stop the
    clock. But no matter what people on here think, most people in Canada prefer the NFL which allows Canadian broadcasters to charge more for advertising during games. If you want CTV, or any other broadcaster to place emphasis on the CFL ahead of the NFL then you need to get Canadians to care more about the CFL than they care about the NFL. The CFL has been trying to do that for decades. If you have a plan then I'm sure that they would love to hear from you. But it's not just telling broadcasters to have the games showing ahead of the NFL games because that will just upset viewers (and the broadcasters who will lose advertising money). The CFL used to have games on when the NFL didn't, such as Friday night Football but the NFL expanded when their teams played. That had been a good strategy at the time.

    I subscribed to TSN streaming for the CFL season and cancelled the
    minute the season ended. If more people did that, a message would be
    sent. But I have the feeling that we're not a huge demographic.
