Saskatchewan Wins Grey Cup by Somehow Scoring Canadian Points

The Roughriders won their third Grey Cup today, their first in 18 years, by defeating the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 23-19 in the 2007 Grey Cup, held at Toronto's Rogers Centre. A crowd of 52,230, mostly clad in Saskatchewan's blinding green, enjoyed a fun filled Canadian afternoon in the former SkyDome, the title game ending a week-long festival of all things CFL. The Canadian national anthem was sung by Winnipeg's own Burton Cummings of The Guess Who The Barenaked Ladies while Lenny Kravitz performed a halftime spectacular worthy of eight years ago.

In a hotly contested match that included three Winnipeg safeties, five field goals, and absolutely zero rouges, Saskatchewan cornerback James Johnson won the MVP award for his three interceptions. Winnipeg's Ryan Dinwiddie made his first CFL start at QB, replacing the injured Kevin Glenn. Dinwiddie came to the Roughriders Blue Bombers by way of Boise State, NFL Europa's Hamburg Sea Devils, and the Chicago Bears, making him the second Bears quarterback to ruin a title game in the same calendar year, an unconfirmed record for North American sports.
