Apparently the sixth time the cup has been broken/damaged.

Its the fake one so no big deal but was it a mistake to put the huge base on it - makes it prone to this ?

Now that it's been broken a few times -- and its not the real GC -- I think it should be kind of a tradition. Which celebrating player/coach breaks the Cup this year?

 

Be another funny CFL quirk.

It should be mandatory that you try to break it and if you can't, you forfeit it to the other team.

It looked like it was held together with silly putty on TV so not too surprised.. Kinds embarrassing even if it's not the "real" one..

It looked so cheap on TV...

Last time we won the thing it was just the top part LOL ... actually not but wow, we don't even get the privilege of bustin' it

No, in 1990 it had the big base. They put that on in the mid 80's. In 84 it was still just the Grey Cup itself.
