Great post. There is a reason the Eskimos were referred to as the Evil Empire or the Campbell Football League and that's because of years of shady dealings behind the scenes. It's obviously not a great thing to have one man own two teams but it's a necessity to keep the 8 team league in business until a buyer comes forward for the Lions.
