While a number of media members, myself included, and volunteers took pictures and selfies with the trophy – the players were as far from it as they could be.

They want nothing to do with the trophy until it’s official theirs… which could very well happen on Sunday night at Investors Group Field.

Friday, we’ll be up bright and early as CFL Commissioner Jeffrey Orridge holds his annual State of the League address.
