At game speed it is often difficult to make the right call. However, in the event of the hit like the one on Reilly last game, there ought to be a recourse. Maybe each game should be reviewed by player safety and any intents to injure should result in at least a one game suspension. Similarly hits to the knees and such where a player cannot defend himself ought to warrant a similar penalty.

The reduction in full-contact practices may be a sop to the players' association. Apparently when a player is injured, he receives benefits for 12 months, and then he is on his own. Several teams have been trying to get WCB in their provinces to cover CFL players but so far nothing has been put in place. The players association is really pushing for extended, open-ended benefits for players but the owners are near-panicked over this issue.

Does anyone on the Ticat roster look really good this year? Maybe Tyms' bullpoop quota for the year was exceeded.

How can coaches assess the abilities of new linemen without full-contact drills?

Whoa there, big fella. On 1290 Radio this afternoon, Madani was asked for his comments about the Montreal mess, and several of his observations were very interesting. Firstly, Kavis Reed was told that if he wanted to be GM, he had to accept Chapdelaine ans head coach. Chapdelaine was told by Reed that if he wanted the HC job, he had to accept Thorpe as DC. There's a recipe for conflict right there. Moreover, team discipline had broken down entirely with no consequences for bad performances or lackluster efforts. Also- Chapdelaine and Thorpe disliked each other and Thorpe does not play well with others and resists direction from above. Thorpe likes to be left alone to do his job without any perceived interference, so I'm not sure if that would make him a good fit here.

Had a quick boo at the Riderfans website. The commentary was surprisingly moderate.

Agreed. How can a ref 10 yards away assess in 3/10ths of a second whether the contact/trip was incidental or not? The Zebras got it right.

You must use the correct french grammar:" le fire du dumpster"

That's what he wants you to think....

Why would you post a video clip of Shatner screaming at Obby?

But not Chrysler's. The Chryslers of that era were all junk- bloated chrome-infested barges.

Look at the bright side. Maybe both Wild and out starting safety will be back and Walters might find us a decent MLB. Doubtful, but possible.

June Jones' rep was built on grooming quarterbacks, so maybe Masoli will get better.

Now you've gone and shattered my worldview. Next you're gonna tell me there's no Orville Reddenbacher. Or the Keebler elf.

Aaah. Good old Ricardo Montalban (Mendelbaum) and his "Corinthian Leather" voice over commercials for Chrysler.

If you ask a cougar, all Willys are valuable.

Beat me to the comment.

I'm not sure that Rider fans would be acquainted with either concept. Soap is difficult enough for them.

They could have meant occidental. After all, it did occur in the western hemisphere.

I'm cynical enough to believe that it wouldn't be a stretch to believe that Jones & Co. would deliberately exceed the cap in order to remain competitive. That would be consistent with Jones demonstrated attitude in the past.

So you're saying we should find Worman, and get him into rehab?

Damn. Now what am I going to do with 400 lbs of moosemeat?

And here I thought he did it with a Tim Horton's stir stick.

BLW: I think it is going to be as long for Davis to ascend to the next level as Prince Charles.

About as appetizing as a tequilla-anchovy-vanilla milkshake.
