"Bottom Stories of the Day"

From from the WSJ BEST OF THE WEB TODAY:

• "Ottawa to Receive CFL Franchise: Report"--headline, CBC.ca, March 24

Sigh. It's rough riding for the CFL here. We now have a "conditional" franchise.

In 1960, when I was thirteen, my family was living in Concord, Mass. Ottawa made it into the Grey Cup, played in Vancouver. I was a Rider fanatic then and my blessed parents were so kind as to fly me up to Ottawa--a very big and expensive deal in those days--so I could watch the game on TV at my grandparents. We won. The good old days.

Damian adds: two CFL teams have already folded in Ottawa, but they're getting yet another chance. Meanwhile, still no team in Halifax. Where's the justice?
