Mike on Mike

Edmonton Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly, generally agreed to be the toughest guy in the CFL (not because he gives a lot of hits, but because he takes a lot, gets up and runs again--66 yards Sunday, plus two TD passes) showed himself in a post-game interview with Matt Dunnigan to be as sharp and unruffled with a microphone in his face as he is with three mammoth tacklers grabbing for him.

While checking his rib cage to see if everything was still attached, Reilly was asked if it hurt. Thanx to Cam Cole (Vancouver Sun, National Post) for capturing his response: "I'll find out in a couple of days. I probably won't really feel it until then. Right now, the emotional high...and I'll probably have a few drinks tonight, and tomorrow and the next day."

Me too, Mike.
