Saskatchewan Roughrider legend Ron Lancaster dead: Lancaster rewrote the CFL record book during an illustrious playing career which lasted from 1960 to 1978. The final 16 seasons were spent with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He retired as the league's all-time leader in passing yards (50,535), touchdown passes (333), pass attempts (6,223) and completions (3,384). The Little General also led Saskatchewan to 50 fourth-quarter come-from-behind victories.

Neate Sager's write-up is a must-read.

I'm with you, DJE ... but there can't be enough said about the import of this "Little General" to the CFL.

Some reflections on the man and the player are starting to hit the TSN CFL site.
