When the commissioner gives out a BS award to a certain fanbase over all others you know there's a major problem with the way the league is run.

It's pretty obvious that Montreal feels pretty slighted and justly so but Stampeder and Eskimo fans have supported their teams much more consistently than Rider fans as well. Honestly can anyone blame Stampeder fans for being a little skeptical about how the Wester Final was called by officials when the Commisioners Award was going to be handed out during Grey Cup week to Ridernation? The whole think stinks to me and the more I think about it the more I think the officials were instructed to call the game very close on the Stampeders to protect the league's best interests.
