Will Terrence Jeffers-Harris play a role in the CFL East final? I guess we will find out when the Ti-Cats play the Bombers at a frigid Canad Inns Stadium tomorrow. The Bombers receiver was suddenly released this week and subsequently picked up by the Ti-Cats. Why he was let go was never really discussed, but its obvious he had become a distraction. Avon Cobourne told media on Saturday that Jeffers-Harris gave the Ti-Cats the Winnipeg playbook. That claim was later denied by Hamilton coach Marcel Bellefeuille. What is true though is that Jeffers-Harris has likely sung like a bird this week when asked about the Bomber tendencies.
Yes, Winnipeg could have chosen another manner to deal with TJH than just release him, but here is where the CFL should step in. The league needs to state that transactions of this kind can't be made when your team is in the playoffs. It should be the onus of the team, but as a safety measure the league should step in. I would hate for Hamilton to win on Sunday (which I think they do) and then have the Ti-Cats say they knew what Winnipeg was doing thanks to TJH. He will likely be rewarded for his snitching by being given a bus ticket with his CFL career likely done as no team will want someone of his ilk on the roster.
Commissioner Marc Cohon should have at the very least voided this transaction and really void any transaction that sees a player get signed once the playoffs arrive.

Looking at the weather outside, I think I am glad the Riders didn't finish first in the West this year. It would be very uncomfortable sitting in the stands or roaming on the sidelines tomorrow.

UFC fans will be talking about the main event for a long, long time. UFC announcer Mike Goldberg said the Dan Henderson-Shogun Rua fight might have been the best fight in the history of the UFC. Was it that good? It certainly was epic and put the capper on what might have been one of the most entertaining cards I have ever witnessed.

I received a tweet last night from someone asking for me not to give out UFC results via Twittter. I kindly told him hey, turn off the twitter feed. Many sports teams don't hide their scores on Twitter and many others are out there tweeting what has gone on. Hey, I don't like it either when I tape a sporting event only to hear or see the final score before I start watching. I just try to invoke the cone of silence and try to choke off all info that might come my way in order to watch. Its not easy, but you gotta do it.

Oh, how I wish you could bottle what the Edmonton Oilers did on the ice last night as they demolished the Blackhawks. If the Oilers could play like that every night, they wouldn't be challenging for a playoff spot, they would be challenging for the Stanley Cup. It is a glimpse of the future though as RNH, Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle all had huge nights.

If the LSU Tigers football team loses either their season finale to Arkansas or the SEC championship game, it will throw the BCS into a state of chaos never before seen. There is no doubt the Tigers are the number 1 team in the nation right now, but who is number 2 and who will face them in the national championship game after Oklahoma State, Oregon and Oklahoma all lost. To make matters worse, Penn State has moved up the ladder and I don't have to tell you about that situation. I can't see Penn State ever advancing to the national championship game, but if it did, it would get ugly and I'm not talking on the field either. Hopefully that won't happen.

Congrats to Jason Ackerman and his rink out of the Tartan for winning the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship. I am guessing Jason has just booked himself a spot for "Locker Talk".

The Pats started their West Coast trip by getting a point. They lost 6-5 in a shootout to Spokane.

When you've had too much, take your money out of an ATM but use another language other than English to challenge yourself. What have you got to lose?

Boy those Oilers were fun to watch last night against Chicago. Even though the Calgary Flames beat the Black Hawks on Friday night I'll bet their management is wondering why they're so old and boring.
U can't tell me you would have loved bundling up to watch a football game at Mosaic today. Of course, if we had a nice new stadium with a closed roof, we wouldn't have to worry about that anymore.
The Bombers will change things up. They will be OK. Harris won't be a factor.

This is all on the Bombers. Ya maybe the league should have a rule, but I guess nobody thought any team would be stupid enough to release a player during playoffs. But to be honest TJH should help his new team anyway he can. It happens all the time when a player gets traded or released during the season, and goes to a different team of course he shares the playbook with them. Smart move by Hamilton, very dumb and funny by Winnipeg. Good job Lapo and Mack, even Taman wouldn't do that. Lmao.
I had Rua winning the fight. He got back up after being just about knocked out and hammered Henderson. Neither could appear at the post-fight newser cuz they went to hospital. Amazing!

I thought Rua won too Cam.
Sunday morning thought: Tim Tebow always thanks God for his 4th quarter wins in the NFL, how come no one on the opposing defense blames God for their loss?
