Jon Cornish Wins Lou Marsh Award as Canada's Best Athlete For 2013

[iso_55]

Not only is this big news for Jon Cornish, it's big, big news for the CFL. It's the first time since 1969 (Russ Jackson) that a CFL player won this prestigious award. It means to me that sports journalists down east may be perceiving the CFL in a positive light & it is about time. I believe this is only the third time a CFL player has ever won this award. Congratulations to Jon Cornish.

After reading the tsn comment section, it reaffirmed my view of Canada's inferiority complex.

 

 

Congrats to Jon, IMO a well deserved award.
