True Double Blue- Paul Woods, John Candy And The Year Of The Rocket

On the eve of the Grey Cup, author Paul Woods returns to talk about his best selling book, "Year of the Rocket," about that one time in CFL history where the league upstaged the NFL and with a trio of celebrity owners set about making the CFL cool again. The book tells the story of how Rocket Ismail came to Canada and signed the largest contract in sports, and also how John Candy became the unofficial commissioner of a league that in the 21st Century could use some of that celebrity magic and cache to help it become relevant and cool again. With history as our guide we also talk about the future of the league, American press coverage of it, and how the lessons of the past apply to the CFL today.
