CFL (Non-Bombers) off-season news

[Tecno]

Poor Andre, I bet this is the first time someone from the media ever contacted him for an interview and being an honest guy he's going to talk.

Proulx's also the only guy to call "tandem block" in a game since they (re?)added it to the rulebook a few years back.  And he was right.

The league must have b-slapped him so hard, as he hasn't called it since even though it happens dozens of times a season.  Speaking of which ... I need to start the tandem block thread I was meaning to after the ESF debacle...

That was a tough call. It would be nice to get a brief explanation from command centre when they do make the call so everyone understands why they made the call. And if Andre didn't agree with the call he should have descretely pleaded his case to get the call changed. He didn't say anything and should have used the same approach when asked to comment on the play . Criticising the play afterwards when you had the chance to plead your case in real time doesn't do anyone any good

I thought that was how it was done when plays go to command!  I thought command gathered the opinions & "what I saw" from the head ref and the ref who through that flag.

To think command just takes over and doesn't hear that info at all is somewhat flabbergasting.
