With the Grey Cup game around the corner, here's a CBC News report on the only time an American team won the Grey Cup, back when the CFL underwent a disastrous US expansion.

We americans wouldn't be upset if a canadian city wins the superbowl, or would we lol.

@rfe8nn2 How did you feel when the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series?

Hey, if they didn't want an American team to win the Cup, they shouldn't have let us in the league. Why do the comments on every CFL video turn into a U.S. vs. Canada pissing match? CFL is a good league, NFL is a good league, now let's all unite in our hatred of the French. ;)

fucking stamps loosing to an american team

@iheartryanstyles At least they tried, the league was in very bad financial shape, i think the federal gov't gives alot of money to the league, or at least i think they did in the 90's.

@TheKassicRock Edmonton Eskimos have very similar uniforms to the Green Bay Packers....when the Grey Cup is played you'll often see alot of fans wearing their favourite or hometown teams jerseys, the Grey Cup is like the Super Bowl - each year a different city hosts it.

I'm just glad the Lions didn't lose the Grey Cup to the Americans. At the time, I hated the Stamps, they were a pain in the ass for BC to play against because of Flutie. I didn't even care if the Cup went to the States, and especially if it was Calgary losing to them. Nowadays, I don't have any deep-seeded hatred for other CFL teams, so if the same thing happened now, I'd probably pull for Calgary for a game, but not be mad if the U.S. team won. Plus, I remember the Stallions having good fans.

@RetroWinnipeg Only the Braves and Phillies fans were upset.  Americans don't hate Canada.

If you just looked at the players on the Stallions and ignore the USA/Canada thing, they WERE a very talented team that you'd think was Grey Cup-caliber (Mike Pringle, Ham, Drummond)
