Could have been a penalty
Could have been, couldn't it. Interference on a loose ball, where have we heard that before?
I missed that play but it would depend on whether Bighill was going after the ball. If so, then technically it's a flag. Could be mercy rule at this stage.
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.

Great tribute by the Bombers fans. The fact that they haven't all gone home by now is a credit to them.

Especially considering the game situation, putting aside their frustrations to acknowledge him.

Four-man pass rush and Archibald and Myddelton both get beaten cleanly for a sack.

Lions recover another fumble, deep in Wpg territory, confirmed on challenge. The Bombers chat board must be exploding tonight and who could blame them?

Bighill the early favourite for defensive player, offensive player, and special teams player of the week.

McCallum's chip shot makes it 50-14 BC.
