Time to sit Lulay and let the backup have some reps.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Another pick, for six. That's gotta be it for Lulay. 51-12 Ham after the convert.

Pick six for Hamilton. Fortunately Lulay missed on the attempted shoulder tackle at the two yard line.

What is it going to take to staple Lulay's ass to the bench where it belongs?

I can't believe there's still over a full quarter left to play in this one. Feels like it's already been going for 4hrs.

Elimimian hurt on the kickoff return, right calf, it looks like. Not putting any weight on that leg as he departs. His night is prob done, too. Have a seat.

Beck is finally in.

Lions looked comatose from the feast Braley put on for his team.

LOL Yup, that's all, just five majors.

We'll be lucky to have even five drives the rest of the way.

It might be good to get both Beck and Jennings reps .... given that this season is definitely not going in the right direction.

Travis tried a shoulder tackle - at least left side - but definitely showed some fight on the INT for a TD - something his super duper H Back (Tedford's gem) didn't show in anticipating the Defender. rookie yes, but .. gimme a break.

Interesting stat after three quarters. Hamilton has 10 first downs and B.C. has 9. If you didn't know anything else about the game, you might think it's a tight defensive battle.

No more excuses...this Leos team sucks, broken, and it starts at the top!

I love Bobby but he was wrong about Wally...two championships in the last twelve years, when four were easily manageable.

It should have take four years to rebuild that championship team into another.. and he is nowhere close to closing the deal anytime soon!
