Only In The CFL

We have had some pretty dramatic finishes in the CFL, but this is one of those that is really just beyond bizarre. If you haven't seen it, check it out.
Let it be known, this special teams gaffe hasn't happened to Jim Daley. If it had, I shudder to think what might go down.
----
I was out last night and was unable to find out what the score was in the Rams-Huskies game. Thus I went to the world of Twitter to find out what was happening. Within moments, my request was being answered from all over the place and it was not good for the Rams. They got spanked 52-29 by the Huskies in Saskatoon. It means the Rams are off to Calgary for a playoff game next weekend. Marc Mueller threw for 437 yards in the loss.
----
Many Reginans were in Saskatoon for that game last night. I'm guessing many more will be in Saskatoon tomorrow as the Hilltops and Thunder meet in the PFC final. After last night's result, they will be a braggin in ToonTown (and for good reason) if the Toppers win today.
-----
The young Oilers dominate the Hawks in Chicago. LIKE IT!!! LIKE IT A LOT!!! Eberle gets his 4th and it was another thing of beauty.
----
Scott Schultz needs his own radio show. That's all there is to it. The old 96'er is pure gold when he appears on CKRM's Sportscage.
----
The Riders are off to Vancouver and there is optimism that problems of the past have been worked out and this team is ready to go. I'm taking the Riders, but I'm not so certain the problems have been ironed out. We'll see.
----
While at Mosaic yesterday, it would appear as if those in charge of the stadium have adopted that Mother Nature will clear the snow mentality. Lets just say I'm glad the Rams or Thunder weren't at home this weekend.
----
I think Texas crawls back into the World Series with a win against the Giants. I have no rhyme or reason for thinking that. I just do.
----
There is nothing more therapeutic than an evening of High Impact Wrestling. With fellow culture-lovers Pete Paczko, Rob Vanstone and Tony Playter by my side, we enjoyed the action in and out of the ring again last evening. Seeing that crowd as mentioned by one of the group is the reason why Regina doesn't have a zoo. Its because the zoo is on display once a month.
-----
Separated at birth---High Impact wrestler Jeff Tyler and CTV's Lee Jones. The resemblance is uncanny. Also separated at birth is Sask Party Northeast MLA Kevin Doherty and CTV's Chris Hodges. If you are at the corner of Dewdney and Park going west today, look at the billboard of Doherty and then tell me he and Hodges don't look alike. While at it, CJME's Jamie Nye could be confused with Sabres goalie Ryan Miller.
-----
Going out for Hallowe'en tonight. Don't want to spend money on an outlandish costume. Here's an idea. Go to Walmart or wherever and buy a box of Coke cans. Come home and take the cans out---put them wherever. Open up the sides of the box and place it over your head and voila----you're a "Cokehead". In the words of former L-P sportswriter Bob Hughes "Yer welcome"!
-----
I thought the temperature was supposed to hit double digits this weekend. Why do I think this snow isn't going away. SIGGHHHHH!!!!

That finish was bizarre (and fun to watch), but I don't think I'd call it a "gaffe". I don't think there were any big mistakes made. Some good effort on Montreal's side to keep the ball in the endzone and some good effort on Toronto's side, too.

However, Montreal could've saved themselves a lot of trouble if they had just went for a rouge instead :-).

I'm stealing that Cokehead idea. BRILLIANT!

The football gods have come back to avenge Toronto for the "fake safety". I shudder to think what would happen here if that happened to the Riders. It surely would spell the end of Lynch!

Someone needs to look up the meaning of the word avenge.
