Explanation
While it may seem like "no contest" with the Alouettes sitting at the bottom of the standings they will play the REDBACKS (aren't they too new to have a real rival?) on Friday. And the BC Lions? Since they are free this weekend maybe the players could work a second job to earn a little cash to pay for all those free tickets the club owes their fans following the "guaranteed win" loss to Saskatchewan.

Explanation

After vacation, it was back to the city for business in dark, serious clothes. Anyone wearing white after Labour Day was a rube. That's the theory. But the real reason we don't wear white after Labour Day is that voice in our head telling us not to do it - thanks, Mom!
