If it was literally any other pro team in Toronto, i'd be calling this a trap game.... instead.... arholios by 3 scores, 14 fights in the stands, 2 ears bitten off Haha. Don't remember the last time I saw a fight in the stands. It's definitely not the 70s & 80s anymore. Closest I’ve seen in the last couple of years is some disagreements over use of profanity around families/kids. It used to be the kids who used the profanities. And pretty much at least one fist fight you could witness any game you went to. |

And pretty much at least one fist fight you could witness any game you went to. our section almost had a couple last toronto game.... same answer as above last week tbh, guys beside us spent the entire rain delay at the bar, came back shmammered, every third word was "f", a dad in the front row didn't much care for it and actually gently said as much after the game, with the expected results coming back... dad from the front row no longer feeling gentle asked if these were their regular seats for when the kid isn't here. needless to say i've pre-paid for some crappy stadium popcorn for this one. All that said, the combo of argo fans getting more engaged(and not being used to it so they're not great at running their mouths safely anymore...), along with their record being good this year, and hamilton's frustrating play.... the cage matches are coming back... |

It’s a lot tamer than in the past but the violence and passion on the field can still spill over into the stands - questionable penalty, player ejections etc. Last year being Newman’s first game we just didn’t have a credible offence to go head to head with the Argos and it was pretty much a dud atmosphere outside of the Rolle pick 6. Not sure we’re in much better shape this year but at least Powell has a few games in. Don’t know what to make of his character, not the usual fiery we’re used to seeing from some of the qbs here. But maybe that cool relaxed vibe works out in a late game situation where you don’t want a panicky rookie. We’ll see how he makes out cause Bo and Shiltz are still a long ways off. |

The main CFL site seems fine, just the forums. Could be a hosting issue or an attack.

Rouge "scored" on a 57-yd FG attemppt.
I actually don't blame Liegghio for the miss, I wouldn't expect anyone to make that in these conditions.
