The 2008 CFL season was the 55th season of modern-day Canadian football, the 51st season for the Canadian Football League.

This meant the CFL was no longer aired on broadcast television in Canada.
The game turned into a Grey Cup classic, thanks to the great play of the Alouettes veterans, and broke a streak of 4 straight losses in Grey Cups.

Both teams fought a see-saw battle, which was decided in the dying seconds of the game when Ottawa quarterback Tom Clements threw to Tony Gabriel ...
The 78th Grey Cup in 1990 was the last game broadcast by the CFL's league-run syndication broadcast service, the Canadian Football Network, which started in 1987 and was shut down after this game.
