Earth to Avon Colbourne, you dissed Calgary on national TV by calling the MOP all star runner ups 'babies' and in your cocky swagger pronounced Montreal the winners of the Grey Cup midway through the second quarter. Sir, you are an idiot. Sure, there is a course of action that transpires during the regular game, lots of chit chat on the field and ways to get the team motivated, but wow, how bad is it to spout your mouth off and get bit in the butt like COlbourne?

Who Cares about Allstar Awards? Nobody

Calgary was shut out of all awards two nights ago. The media hyped up an uncharacteristic public outcry but shafted Henry Burris and Sandro Deangelis. Both teams used it as fodder for the locker room pre-game prep, however, on the field Calgary was still regarded as the team with the most to prove.

Calvillo's game story: intercepted twice, hardly any running, no TDs, got nothing going int he second, and all but lost the game with the timing of his interceptions, can take his all-star award back home without the real trophy--the Grey Cup.

Sandro Deangelis on the other hand kicked four field goals including a huge 50-yarder. Both Deangelis and Burris won post-game awards for most valuable player of the game (Labinjo overlooked) and will glady take both awards over the personal accolades doled out by eastern media types who are asleep by the team Western games roll around.
