Man, Lawler makes getting a TD reception easy...losing him to FA is going to hurt for a while!!!

BLM has a 12-1 TD-Int ratio....we can only reminisce on that one!!

Brown didn't have his helmet done up there
Lower strap was off

Should be a penalty for noting having helmet secure imo

Ugly head shot as well but impact to Brown might have been less if his lid stayed on

J5V · July 20, 2025, 11:56:16 PM

That blatant head-to-head spear on Brown was very ugly. That should be an ejection.

Best to focus on the future, no value in living in the past imo. I would think ex teammates would be happy to see each other succeed.

Garbutt a nice sack.

GOLDMEMBER · July 20, 2025, 11:59:52 PM

Someone kills Brown.

These refs are friggin idiots.

GOLDMEMBER · July 21, 2025, 12:01:12 AM

Garbutt back here could have been better.

All ex bombers making plays all the time.

Poor execution by our GM.

Why can't the cfl figure this out? They need to stop that kind of thing.

Cost Hamilton three points. Big deal.

That type of big should be automatic 25 yds and game ejection. Qb is in a defenceless position and defender spears him in the head. Gonzo. thing is the refs didn't call anything. that's inexuseable. Where a CC?? they should step in and did the game of.this crap

I agree about the penalty, never said it wasn't one. I liked the post J5V as it happened. It was called 25 yards.

I am bringing up a player safety issue and believe the league should ensure helmets are secure. I don't want head shots but I also don't want players hurt because of simple equipment issues. Browns helmet came off too easy there because of chin strap issue. I was curious if anyone else had info about helmet related issues (straps).

You are going off on me for no reason.

Not sure how the league treats these in terms of elections. Close call there.

As the player approached the QB at full speed he intentionally lowers his head to initiate the blow with a head-to-head spear. There is no excuse for it. I can't imagine what these refs and/or the CC are thinking when they see something like that. Who would want to be a QB in this league with players taking those kinds of liberties with our star QBs. There's no place for it in our game and to call nothing on a dangerous play like that is, as you said, inexcusable.

Nice to see Milt back on the panel. I've missed the Beagle.

He got a very long ovation in the Peg. Seemed to be meaningful for him.

He's a courageous person.

He lowers his head to go for the top of the chest. Brown puts his head down to protect himself, but his helmet comes off because he didn't do up the chin strap. Refs on the field say no RTP. Refs at the command centre see that Brown gets hurt and hands out 25 yards. Results oriented penalty.

IMO, Brown should get the 10 yard penalty for not doing up his chin strap.

QuoteArticle 2 — Helmets
A player shall be required to wear a helmet when on the Field of Play and shall not voluntarily remove it while the play is in progress.

PENALTY: L10 PBD

Any player's chinstrap must be completely fastened prior to the snap.
