So about that #Riders workout planned for Montreal? Turns out it would have violated #CFL bylaws.
Chris(no plan)Jones nearly got his ass in hot water over CFL rules again. When will this clown learn?
Put the shoe on the other foot and envision the Allouettes staging a free agent camp in Saskatchewan.
Just another entry in the long list of classless moves by the shame of the league.
