The Grey Cup is here: Toronto Argonauts set to take on Winnipeg Blue ********

The Toronto Argonauts and Winnipeg Blue ******** battle for the Grey Cup on Sunday.

After a 2-4 start, the Blue ******** finished atop the West Division and earned their spot in the championship game by beating the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the West final.

The Argos weathered quarterback woes to finish second in the East before upsetting the league-leading Montreal Alouettes in the division final.

That win proved costly, though, as quarterback Chad Kelly broke his ankle. That leaves Toronto relying on backup Nick Arbuckle on Sunday.
