SO IS THIS ONE CUP THANKS TO 'TOO MANY MEN ON THE ICE' AND 1 CUP THANKS TO 'TOO MANY MEN ON THE TURF'?

Know what the Als kept saying on the sideline with about 2 minutes to go? BELIEVE!

So who stepped up at halftime and delivered the inspiring words to spark the Miracle Redemption Win? Calvillo, Watkins, Emry, and Richardson among others. They all agreed this team had worked to hard to let this shot at the Cup slip away.

Why doesn't owner Robert Wetenhall believe me when I tell him this is the greatest Als team ever? He wanted to consider it for a second , but then he did the math. "17 wins is a lot of wins," said the loveable financial saviour of the team.

Last man off the podium with the Grey Cup? GM Jim Popp, with daughter Hannah and at least 2 of the rest of the Popp flock following closely behind.

Eric Wilson, who was so confident of the win he brought a box of Cohiba Churchill-sized victory stogies with him to Calgary, is now considering "Grey" for the middle name of his newborn child due in the New Year to he and his new bride (they were married just before Training Camp Fort St. Jean). But Eric, is that even if its a girl or a boy? And may I suggest Avon, Anthony, Ben, or Jamel as a first name?

For Tony Proudfoot and Phil Price, who endured the final play field-goal fiasco of '75 in Calgary, for the next generation of Als fans who shared the pain of the failed 2-point conversion in 2000 in Calgary, isn't wonderful to believe in miracles and to break away from Deja Voodoo?

Win the Day and cherish all those who share your victory.
