Damon Duval kicked a 33-yard field goal with no time left and the Montreal Alouettes won the CFL Grey Cup with a 28-27 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sunday night. Duval credits the big Aloutette fan in the sky, not the late Saskatchewan penalty, for the victory:
"The man upstairs gave me a second opportunity," Duval said. "I got the ball through and what can I say, it was all these guys here just fighting back play after play. As soon as I saw the flag I didn't care, I had to focus on making a kick."
Like I've been saying for years, God loves Canadian football.
The best part of checking in on the CFL is always recognizing players from college football past that you forgot to wonder about. So congrats to former Mountaineer Avon Cobourne, Seminole Adrian McPherson, Gator Chris Leak and Orangeman Diamond Ferri on the big win.

Cobourne
Now there’s a player I would roll people with playing NCAA 2003. You know, the one with Joey Harrington on the cover.
If I remember correctly, playing as McPherson was cheating, because of his ridiculous scrambling ability plus the fact that he got kicked off the Seminoles.
