One guy at work who constantly busts my chops for liking "minor" football keeps making fun of the CFL because its players have to get other jobs to make ends meet. I sometimes have to remind him that this isn't 1975 any longer. On the flip side, when an NHL player gets a huge contract, he always goes on about how salaries are out of whack in sports. Make sense of that. It’s funny how perceptions lingers.

Teaching, like Jackson did, was a common occupation. George Brancato was my phys ed teacher in grades nine and ten. He was a DB with the Riders then, and an occasional WR on offense. Another Rider DB, George Daigneault, taught English Lit in the same school. Years later he became the Athletic Director at Concordia University. They all had other jobs back then.
