How does Canada’s corrections system need to change? What is the upside of getting the Commonwealth games? Is the XFL a threat to the CFL?

Cody Legebokoff, Canada’s youngest serial killer, was convicted in 2014 of the slayings of Loren Donn Leslie, Jill Stacey Stuchenko, Cynthia Frances Maas and Natasha Lynn Montgomery.

Rick Zamperin joins Scott to take on some of the questions raised by this week’s sports news. Are the new football leagues opening in the states, like the AAF and XFL, going to be taking away players who would have been on their way to the CFL? And is this something that the owners of Canadian teams should be concerned about?
