So that's what a win looks like

Another day, another shooting. This time five student-athletes at Duquesne in Pittsburgh were shot over the weekend. It really is just a game, folks.

A little horn-tooting here, as well. But it seems this guy was 13-2 yesterday with the football picks.

Anyway, on to the good stuff.

I came into this weekend preparing to write about the Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ continuing ineptitude. It was my assumption, and probably the assumption of others, that they would once again fail to score a touchdown, making it five home games in a row without one.

Man, were we wrong!

They scored a punt-return touchdown, a passing major, and a rushing touchdown -- all in one game. It’s the first time all year they’ve scored three touchdowns in a game, and just their second home win all year.

Even though the crowd appeared to be the smallest of the year so far, it was an energetic crowd and it was great to see the players feed off the fans.

The downside is that the defense turned in one of their worst performances of the year and nearly cost the Cats the game.

But no matter, they can’t take it away from us now, it’s a win! Let’s go Tigers, eat ‘em raw!

Sorry for all the rah-rah stuff. It was exciting, and it’s not been often the last few years I’ve had an opportunity to relish a Ticats win.

One other thing from the weekend, did anyone see the kid in Houston drop the home run ball? Poor little guy was crying and everything. I hope he’s not scarred for life.
