Happy Thanksgiving, eh!

To our Canadian readers (unless you're in the Maritimes in which case it may or may not be Thanksgiving) let me wish you recovery from the feast.  But there's Monday afternoon football, which is cool because it isn't NFL and so you don't have to worry about overpaid crybabies taking a knee during the national anthem.

When I was a kid the CFL was a holy institution, and the local trinity was Wilky (Tom Wilkinson, Edmonton Eskimos), Wes Montgomery (630 CHED Radio) and Klondike Mike (Whisky drunk and Klondike Days Mascot). Grey Cup Day was the holiest of holidays. The bars were full, the town shut down, and nothing else mattered but The Big Game.

It’s not the same anymore. The Esks are mostly negro dregs from the NFL and only the old timers follow them. I gave up on sportzball ages ago, once the legends retired. I’d rather watch the kids.
