Of all the CFL teams named Roughriders, ....Saskatchewan was always my favorite.

The Grey Cup has been broken several times. The trophy was broken in 1978 when Tom Wilkinson and Danny Kepley dropped it, and in 1987 when a celebrating Edmonton Eskimos player sat on it. It was again broken in 1993 when it was head-butted by Edmonton's Blake Dermott. During the victory celebration immediately following the 94th Grey Cup game in 2006, the winning BC Lions accidentally broke the cup from its base, which contains the engraved names of the players on each years' winning team. It was repaired the following Monday. Other notable events include a 1947 fire which almost destroyed the trophy and a 1969 theft in which the trophy was held for ransom.

On November 25, 2007 at the conclusion of the game, when the cup was hoisted by the victorious Saskatchewan Roughriders team, a Snowbirds squadron decal could clearly be seen on the bottom of the cup. Evidently, a member of the Snowbirds team ‘zapped’ the cup. ‘Zapping’ is humorous tradition among Canadian Forces squadrons where a squadron decal is covertly placed on some item of importance to other military units or squadrons.

(Editor-I'm planning on zapping the Stanley Cup in June with a Quiblit logo.)
