Rich Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Apparently the sixth time the cup has been broken/damaged. CANADIANA ALERT Grey Cup broken in celebration. Player: "I politely gave it to someone else." http://t.co/vOt5WDqnlj pic.twitter.com/3AkXBMmKiR — John Grigg (@John_Grigg) December 1, 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zontar Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotoriousBIG Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPuDS Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
