Snoozer of a game going on there. I switched to Olympic qualifying curling on CTV TWO when it came on at 11.
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.

Smith to Carter for a TD and the Als take the lead.

I think the CFL will be hearing of the this combo for a number of years to come (unless Carter has NFL dreams).

Troy Smith just put together a nice drive with a pass to Carter who just managed to extend the ball over the goal line for a TD. First points against the wind in this game, 9-6 Alouettes with four minutes left in the third quarter. Kickers having a brutal day, a punt single and missed FG single for Montreal, two FGs by Congi in this quarter for Hamilton. Wind appears to be settling down a bit.

Switching between curling and ESF now. Sun even came out there for a bit.

Unfortunately we are not playing the fans or media, so that concept does not apply.

RUNNING BACK - Even. Logan and Harris pose a formidible 1-2 punch, but Sheets was outstanding all season (1,598 yards).

Logan is a far better runner than sheets, more importantly how will the O lines do in opening up space?

Mtl is forced to kick a FG on their 1st series. 16-13 Mtl.

LeFevour runs in a TD from 2yds on a scoring drive that featured two successful 3rd down gambles. Final score 19-16 Ham and Ticats will go to Tor for the EF.

Give that win to the CFL Official who missed PI in the end zone in reg time. Not a pretty finish that it came down to that.

Agree, it was an obvious interference by Hamilton.
