Billets were found for all Red Wings players in just four hours.
It’s the Drought Bowl.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are meeting in Sunday’s Grey Cup game.
Hamilton last won the Grey Cup in 1999. The Bombers won their most-recent championship in 1990.
The rest of the CFL teams all have won championships in the last decade.
Yes, that’s nine titles since 2010 being shared among seven teams. The CFL has seen tremendous parity and now it’s time another team gets added to the list of recent championships with the other team having to suffer through another off-season of “maybe next year.”
Because it’s a small, intimate league of nine teams, you should have this type of parity, but we haven’t seen it since the introduction of the hard salary cap that has allowed star players to be shuffled to teams that used to have a hard time bringing in free agents.
And despite one of these teams’ droughts continuing for another year, its drought will end soon enough, thanks to a much more even playing field.
