Cornish inducted, CFLPA stays away. (CFL)

          Jon Cornish was announced as one of the inductees to the Canadian Football Hall Of Fame, in the 2019 class. Cornish played his entire CFL career (nine seasons) with the Calgary Stampeders, winning two Grey Cup championships (2008, 2014) and winning the Most Outstanding Player award in his 2013 season. Cornish racked up 6,844 yards rushing with 44 touchdowns, as well as 1,666 yards receiving with 9 touchdowns.
          Other 2019 inductees are as follows: Terry Greer (player), 'Swervin' Mervyn Fernandez (player), Ernie Pitts (player), David Williams (player), Jim Hopson (builder), and Frank Smith (builder). All in all, a pretty decent class to be inducted.

          Players don't report. More and more CFL players are staying away from training camp, with many becoming outspoken about the circumstances as well. Lions' QB Mike Reilly is one of the latest star players to publicly announce his withdrawal from any and all training camps, as well as calling for CFL players everywhere to stay away.
          While I empathize with the players to a certain extent (everyone needs a little more money these days), I can't really take their side, as the CFL doesn't pull in anywhere near the revenue that the NFL south of the border does, and there is only so much money to go around. I'm not exactly taking the league's side either, as I firmly believe that Ambrosie and the CFL brain trust deserve much of the blame for the league's current situation with the players.
          As an avid fan, I just want this whole thing to be resolved soon so that we can all just watch CFL football again, as the new season is on the horizon. The CFL can ill afford to have a work stoppage of any kind, as it would do irreparable damage to the league, it's players, and most importantly, the fans that pay their hard-earned money to participate. The onus is now on both sides to behave like adults and get a deal done, and soon.

          TTS also sends a shout out to the BC Lions, and offer condolences for the loss of equipment manager Ken 'Kato' Katsuya. The CFL has always been big on personalities, and it lost one yesterday. Rest in peace, Mr. Katsuya.
