Baltimore defeated Calgary, 37-20, in the CFL's Grey Cup
championship game, marking the first time in the league's 106-
year history that the trophy will reside in the U.S. (Baltimore
SUN, 11/20). In Toronto, Neil Campbell, reports, as is the
tradition, the week preceding the Grey Cup was "filled with
debate about the league's future." The owners of the league's
eight Canadian and five U.S. team meet November 29, with the U.S.
teams expected to ask for key changes, including the league's
name. Calgary Stampeders Owner Larry Ryckman: "In the end, it
doesn't matter. We're not changing anything. If we have owners
who don't want to be with us, then they're out the door, simple
as that" (Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 11/18). But Baltimore Stallions
Owner Jim Speros proposes a change to the North American Football
League and separate league structures -- with a U.S. office
negotiating U.S. TV deals, the revenue from which to be shared by
U.S. teams (TORONTO SUN, 11/18). WILL HE EVEN BE IN BALTIMORE:
Speros said the team plans a season-ticket drive starting
December 4, with a goal of 15,000 to show city and state leaders
the team could co-exist with the Browns (Baltimore SUN, 11/20).
