Meanwhile in 2000 - Sean Millington - played a full season in the CFL (7 months or so of work), rushed for over 1000 yards and had over 500 receiving yards, won top Canadian in the CFL, and helped lead the Lions to a GC Championship (you know, that little ole minor league trophy) and won top Canadian in that game. Not near good enough compared to what the great Canadian Igali accomplished though. What a freakin' pathetic joke - the @$$-hats who voted for that should be ashamed of their ignorance and wannabeness.


* bonus trivia question - name a connection that links both Millington and Igali
Great surprise to most of us - Cornish wins the Lou Marsh Trophy - not that he didn't deserve it. Here's my comment for Rogers and its ignoring the CFL -
