The Stamps are champs

There are plenty of differences between Canadian football and its American cousin -- three downs instead of four, 12 men on offense and defense instead of 11, no fair catch rule, unlimited backfield motion and a single point awarded if the defensive team doesn't run a missed field goal out of the massive end zone.
I saw an important similarity at the end of tonight's 96th GREY CUP in Montréal: Grown men were crying as the stadium speakers blared "We Are the Champions."
Henry Burris threw for 328 yards and a touchdown as the CALGARY STAMPEDERS beat LES ALOUETTES DE MONTRÉAL, 22-14, to win the Grey Cup for the first time since 2001.
We watched the game live on the American sports network, Versus.
Sandro DeAngelis kicked field goals from 12, 21, 30 and 50 yards for the Stampeders.
The Als had been seeking their sixth title and their first since 2002.
The CANADIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE'S outstanding player award winner, Anthony Calvillo, threw two fourth-quarter interceptions to halt Alouettes' drives, including one in the end zone as Montréal drove for the go-ahead score.
At the game's conclusion, red-coated mounties marched the Grey Cup onto the field.
As the Calgary players hoisted it over their heads, the differences between the two versions of football didn't seem so vast after all.
