GA Russell Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Mike Reilly was going to become a free agent on the 15th, so Wally traded him to Edmonton for a second round pick, and Reilly then signed a contract. Along with Nichols, that gives the Eskimos two unproven but very attractive young QBs. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=414907 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 My car radio has stopped working, so this morning I went to the car audio shop where I bought it. I wore my 2009 Grey Cup hat (which I bought because the 2009 game was the 100th anniversary of the Grey Cup, and because the hat was on sale for $5.00). While waiting, I saw a young man wearing a CFL watch cap! He was speaking with a salesman, so I didn't interrupt. He disappeared before I had a chance to speak with him. By the way, my salesman told me that my radio was shot and that I needed a new one. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but I was hoping it only needed a new fuse.
