I generally agree with the picks. Not much love for the Eskimos at home, but having just demoted Crandell in favour of Reed, a former DB, makes the game Hamilton’s to lose.
It looks like I will be at Roger’s Centre on Thanksgiving monday to watch the Riders live. I could make a sign for TSN plugging the SportsFathers? With indulgences as payment?

We recorded just before the news came out about Crandell. His demotion makes sense ’cause he was obviously the one who traded away a star quarterback. Or something like that. 🙂 But yeah, since that move was made I may be losing that pick.
Have fun at the game! We’ll be watching for you! I don’t think I have the authority to grant a TSN indulgence, though.
