Jetcetera Ep. 40: Grey Cup Blues
Listen now
Description
This should have been the crown jewel of the CFL’s calendar, with the Grey Cup set for Sunday in Regina. Oh what a party it would have been, perhaps with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers going for a championship repeat. Unfortunately, COVID-19 shut the league down indefinitely, turning the “Grand National Drunk” into a virtual event this year. Free Press sports editor Steve Lyons and sports columnist Mike McIntyre tackle the prospects of a 2021 campaign based on this week’s comments from commissioner Randy Ambrosie, who is selling hope to the fan-base that a vaccine will ultimately cure what ails the league. The pair also discuss the latest on the NHL’s plans for an upcoming season, how Manitoba’s Code Red has changed their daily lives, Mike’s frequent trips to the dump, Steve’s quest to adopt a dog, and the pros and cons of mandarin oranges.
