Snoozer of a game going on there. I switched to Olympic qualifying curling on CTV TWO when it came on at 11.Coast Mountain Lion wrote:In the eastern game, Hamilton's receivers have been blatantly offside about five times so far and I think they've been flagged once.

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.

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.sj-roc wrote:Snoozer of a game going on there.

Unfortunately we are not playing the fans or media, so that concept does not apply.swervynmerv wrote:I still think the Riders will be had. They, their media and fans are all taking the Lions too lightly in my opinion.

Logan is a far better runner than sheets, more importantly how will the O lines do in opening up space?David wrote:
RUNNING BACK - Even. Logan and Harris pose a formidible 1-2 punch, but Sheets was outstanding all season (1,598 yards).

19-16 Hamilton wins. What a finish ! Typical CFL
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.

Nice to see Travis showing his Montana college roots and warming up in short sleeves.
