At least one thing went right today, the Jays traded away Cordero.
Man they really hate Riders and Winnipeg... 6 Eskimo games 3 battle of Alberta's, way to get interest in the cfl!
So I saw he CFL on NBC schedule - NOT 1 game includes the Riders playing but yet the Eskimos appear 6 times. Is it showcasing the CFL or is it showcasing the Eskimos?
