Winning the Grey Cup looks like a lot of fun.
After finishing on the losing side the past two years, the Calgary Stampeders came out on top on Sunday, defeating the Ottawa RedBlacks 27-16 to win the 106th Grey Cup.
And boy did they enjoy it.
The Stampeders lived up to their name, as head coach Dave Dickenson slapped on a cowboy hat as the clock struck zero.

But the real fun started in the locker room.
Champagne and beer flowed, and cigars were lit in the Edmonton Eskimos’ home dressing room.
Ours. #Champions

Well, champagne flowed as soon as equipment manager George Hopkins could get the cork off…

The champagne tasted extra sweet for quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell, who was named Grey Cup MVP…
