In 1991, the Toronto Argonauts would have a comfortable lead in the Eastern Division of the Canadian Football League, with an impressive 13-5-0 record, and a 4-game lead over the second place Winnipeg Blue Bombers (9-9-0). Meanwhile, in the Western Division, it would be a much different story, as the Edmonton Eskimos (12-6-0) would have a much tighter race with the Calgary Stampeders (11-7-0) and the BC Lions (11-7-0). In the first round of the playoffs, it was Winnipeg rolling over Ottawa 26-8, while Calgary would win a tough one overthe BC Lions 43-41. In the Division Finals, it was Toronto destroying Winnipeg 42-3, and Calgary upsetting the division-winning EdmontonEskimos 38-36, setting up the match-up for the 79th Grey Cup Championship. The 79th Grey Cup was played between the Toronto Argonauts and the Calgary Stampeders at Winnipeg Stadium in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Argonauts defeated the Stampeders 36-21 in an entertaining game. The Grey Cup was held in Winnipeg for the first time, but it had more of a Hollywood feeling. The Toronto Argonauts capped off a memorable season under the new ownership of Los Angeles Kings owner Bruce McNall, hockey player Wayne Gretzky and actor John Candy with a win over Calgary. The Argos started the game with a bang as defensive back Ed Berry intercepted Calgary quarterback Danny Barretts first pass attempt and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown. Barrett made up for this miscue late in the first quarter, calling his own number on a one-yard run over the goal line. Toronto led 8-7 after 15 minutes. The teams exchanged field goals in the second quarter, as the Argos carried their one-point lead into halftime. The Toronto offense got kick started in the second half. With the Argos trailing 14-12 with three minutes remaining in the third quarter, quarterback Matt Dunigan threw a 48-yard strike to Darrell K. Smith, giving the Boatmen some life. Reggie Pleasant stepped in front of a Barrett pass in the fourth quarter, helping to set up a Lance Chomyc field goal to make it a 22-14 score. It was Pleasants second interception of the game. Calgary receiver Allen Pitts narrowed the gap to 22-21 on a 12-yard touchdown reception. But Raghib "Rocket" Ismail, a much publicized pickup by the Argos in the off-season, returned the ensuing kickoff 87 yards for a touchdown with 10:26 remaining, sealing Calgarys fate. Keyvan Jenkins fumbled on the following kickoff, and Argos linebacker Keith Castello covered the ball to set up a 36-yard touchdown from Dunigan to Paul Masotti to officially put an end to the game and their championship season. The Argonaut's Raghib "Rocket" Ismail (WR) was named the Grey Cup's Most Valuable Player and Stampeder's Dave Sapunjis (SB) was the Grey Cup's Most Valuable Canadian.
