A big week for football news, even after the Grey Cup game. Those of us who have watched Jon Cornish ("Jonny," as he was then known) since his years at St. Thomas More view his retirement with mixed emotions. Sad not to see more of his play (characterized, correctly, as "brilliant" by Cam Cole) but glad he's getting out with (remembering J.D. Salinger's "For Esme, With Love and Squalor") "his faculties intact."
And here in Lions country, we are delighted to have back leading the pack Wally Buono, surely the wisest old cat in the jungle.
And that's it for now, sports fans. Slap Maxwell, in the press box with his old typewriter and a fortified Thermos.

Well done, Mr. Jon Cornish, for wonderful years of football and for knowing when to move on. Your brain will thank you for it!
