2012 CFL
2012 marks the year for the 100th Grey Cup, and the championship for the Canadian Football League.  It was, once again, a very competitive season, as both divisions were tightly contested.  The BC Lions (13-5) would take the Western Division by one game over the Calgary Stampeders (12-6).  Meanwhile, in the Eastern Division, the Montreal Alouettes (11-7) would take the Division crown by two games over the Toronto Argonauts (9-9).  The entire Western Division would make the post-season, while only two teams would qualify from the Eastern Division (Montreal & Toronto).  In the first round of the playoffs, Toronto would roll over Edmonton 42-26, while Calgary would get by Saskatchewan 36-30.  In the Division Finals, it was Toronto upsetting Montreal 27-20, and Calgary doing the same to the BC Lions 34-29, setting up the match-up for the historical 100th Greay Cup.  The game took place on Sunday, November 25, 2012, at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. This was the fourth Grey Cup game played at Rogers
Centre, and the 46th in the city of Toronto.  The Argonauts defeated the Stampeders 35–22 to win their sixteenth Grey Cup title.  Toronto opened up the scoring early in the first quarter with a five-yard touchdown run by the league's Most Outstanding Player Chad Owens.  The Stampeders responded to the touchdown with a field goal by Rene Paredes to cut the score down to 7–3 and they quickly regained possession of the ball, but the drive was cut short when Glenn was picked off by Toronto cornerback Pacino Horne, who ran the ball in for a touchdown to put the Argos up 14–3 early in the second quarter.  On their following possession, Toronto found themselves at Calgary's 12-yard line following a 62-yard pass from Ray to Jason Barnes, but were forced to settle for a field goal by the Stampeders defense. Calgary responded with a field goal of their own to reduce the Argo lead to 17–6. Toronto
would add another touchdown before halftime on a one-yard touchdown catch by Dontrelle Inman from Jarious Jackson, to increase their lead to 24-6 at halftime.  In the third quarter, both teams would add a field goal, and Calgary would also add a safety at the end of the third quarter, cutting the lead to 27-11, heading into the fourth quarter.  The fourth quarter opened promisingly for Calgary. On a second-and-long play by the Stampeders, a pass interference penalty was called on Argos defensive back Ahmad Carroll to put them in scoring range. However, the Argonauts defense again prevented the Stampeders from reaching the end zone and Calgary settled for their fourth field goal of the game.  With 5:56 left in the game, Ricky Ray threw his second touchdown pass of the night to put the Argos up 34–14.  Stampeders receiver Maurice Price scored his team's lone touchdown of the game with twenty seconds remaining on the clock and followed up with the two-point conversion.  After a failed onside kick, Toronto allowed the clock run down, winning the game by a final score of 35–22.  Toronto's Chad Kackert was named the Most Valuable Player of the Grey Cup after rushing the ball 20 times for 133 yards and adding 62 yards from 8 pass receptions.  Defensive end Ricky Foley, a native of Courtice, Ontario, won the Dick Suderman Trophy as the game's top Canadian player after recovering a
Calgary fumble early in the game and for helping to limit Calgary's Cornish to 57 yards rushing for the game.
