That jackrabbit at the Calgary/Edmonton game had over 270 combined yards and three touchdowns IN THE FIRST HALF ALONE. He was great, but I could’ve done without the showboating on his third major. Grow up, rabbit.
Here are the takeaways:
1) Captain Jack Sparrow has nothing on Zach Collaros.
Flipping channels last night, I came upon one of those “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack constantly veers between brilliant strategist and on-the-fly improv artist, escaping his enemies’ clutches and emerging unscathed and usually doing it with a great flourish. Collaros did that and much more in Hamilton’s 42-12 win over the Argos on Labour Day, boarding the Good Ship Argo, drawing his sword and merrily flashing steel while making a bee line for the captain’s quarters.
Collaros attempted what looked like a basketball chest pass at one point and damn well nearly completed it for a touchdown. I’m certain that someday he will be the first quarterback in CFL history to complete a behind the back pass. Does he trot out during player introductions? Or swoop down from the top of the stadium on a rope?
2) Deon Lacey has a ways to go to become an honorary Canadian.
