Legendary Hockey Night in Canada commentator Don Cherry called out media in our home and native land for wrongfully bashing the Canadian Football League, after an epic Grey Cup.

Cherry’s analysis would be seen as spot on with CFL followers – more than 10 million viewers tuned in at one point or another to Sunday’s snowy, dramatic Grey Cup game. Toronto won in stunning fashion over Calgary 27-24.
It should be noted that Cherry is a Rogers employee because Sportsnet is often criticized by CFL faithful for bashing or ignoring the three-down league. Cherry clearly enjoyed the snow-filled contest that featured Shania Twain riding in on a dog sled for the halftime show and featured a stunning twist at the end. So much Canadiana.
Arguably the biggest personality on the pay roll at Sportsnet is a fan of the CFL.
