Can the Cats rebound?
Courtesy Hamilton Spectator: Say this for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Both previous times they’ve pitched a stinker this year — prior to Friday’s 42-8 nostril scorcher — they responded the following week with a huge and completely unexpected win.

Bishop delivers in win over Argos
Courtesy Winnipeg Free Press: GOOD on ya, Michael Bishop. Because if anybody deserved a night in the limelight, it was the embattled Bombers quarterback, who’s been paid regular visits from the Unwelcome Wagon since the emergency call went out to his Texas home a couple months ago. Yeah, it was a heart-stopper, with the Bombers [...]

The Star: Argos hit rock bottom
Courtesy Toronto Star: The Toronto Argonauts might as well start building for next year. While the Argos aren’t yet mathematically eliminated from the Canadian Football League season with six games left, for all intents and purposes the 2009 season ended horribly here last night.

Esks move on from incident at practice
Courtesy Edmonton Journal: The Edmonton Eskimos are sweeping the shovel incident from Thursday’s practice under the rug. Burying the hatchet, as it were.

Riderville: Bagg enjoying breakout season

Montreal 42 Hamilton 8
Courtesy Montreal Gazette: The Alouettes have finally found the elixir for success – play on a short week and practice only once. Only five days after defeating Winnipeg, the Als rolled into Ivor Wynne Stadium and dismantled the Tiger-Cats, 42-8, before 22,083 dispirited fans. The locals were so despondent over their team, they cheered Nick [...]

Als blow out Tiger-Cats
Courtesy Hamilton Spectator: For those inclined to debate the Tiger-Cats’ place in the CFL pecking order, last night’s performance proved one thing conclusively. They’re well behind the Montreal Alouettes. Well, well behind. The first-place visitors made the home side look like the woeful Cats of old in a lopsided 42-8 win at Ivor Wynne Stadium [...]
