One of Johnny Mercer's last lyrics was "When October Goes," a lament for the passing of a season and much else. Some of us feel similarly bereft when November goes, taking with it the last of the year's CFL games. Of course, we don't feel nearly as miserable as Messrs. Glenn, Lulay, Calvillo, et al.
There is still the NFL season to play out until the Super Bowl, which is consolation, just as locked-out NHL fans take solace in junior hockey.
And so, we bid farewell to the centennial year of the Grey Cup, with a tip of the watermelon to victors Ray, Kackert, Jones and Milanovich. Gentlemen, enjoy your time in the sun.
P.S.: Chad Kackert of the Argonauts, who racked up 195 yards for Toronto's win, was rightly named the game's outstanding player. Quarterback Ricky Ray, meanwhile, should have won something for best Movember moustache. And wasn't it good to hear Doug Flutie as a surprise third quarter guest commentator on TSN's Grey Cup coverage? Seen later on the sidelines, tossing a ball around with Dave Dickenson and two other pals, Dapper Doug looked as though he could suit up right then and get in the game.
