OK, sometimes the football journey of 1,000 miles begins with a collective -- how to put this? -- face-plant.
Which is pretty much how the Eskimos' 28-3 pasting at the hands of the dreaded Stampeders looked down there in Calgary on Friday night.
What, you were expecting the Eskimos' voyage back from the non-playoff CFL wilderness to be hurdle-free, a smooth, straight ride? Get back, Loretta!

EDMONTON - Life as Ricky Ray's understudy involves a lot of standing around, playing catch on the sidelines and charting plays on a clipboard.
Not exactly thrilling.
So Steven Jyles and Stefan LeFors don't need to be told they tossed away a rare opportunity to impress the Edmonton Eskimos coaching staff Friday in a 28-3 blowout courtesy of the Calgary Stampeders.

EDMONTON- For the last 10 years, the Edmonton Eskimos have never left a football player behind due to injury.
On Friday, defensive end Brandon Guillory became the first member of the Green and Gold since defensive back Ian Franklin to not make the trip home with his teammates. He remained in Foothills Hospital on Saturday -- along with team physician Dr. David Reid and team president Rick LeLacheur -- as specialists did more tests to determine if he suffered any permanent nerve damage on a helmet-to-chin hit from Calgary lineman Bobby Singh.
Tangled up with tackle Jeff Pilon at the time, Guillory was helpless to defend himself from the collision that sent him crashing to the ground where he lay for 15 minutes before paramedics loaded him onto a spine board and into the back of an ambulance. The initial diagnois was a spinal cord contusion.
