It’s certainly been a hectic week for Jarious Jackson. Jackson was named Edmonton’s interim head coach Monday after head coach and general manager Chris Jones was fired. The move followed the Elks’ 37-34 home loss to the Ottawa Redblacks on Sunday night. At least Jackson, who is also Edmonton’s offensive co-ordinator and quarterback coach, will […]

I’ve been struggling all week with this, folks. I’m hoping that one of you can clarify something for me.
