    Can anyone explain where the official erred on that play in the Winnipeg game last night? Paul Lapolice tried to explain on TSN's halftime show today but I did not understand his explanation. Can anyone clarify which official was at fault and for what on that play?

    O'Shea suggested that the receiver had asked the side judge to confirm he was properly aligned, and the official nodded or pointed to confirm he was. It is common for wideouts to ask the side official to verify they're onside and properly lined up, so it has a ring of truth to it. If the official said "Yes" and then threw a flag, Winnipeg would have a legitimate beef.

    If that is indeed what happened, the league needs to fire that official immediately. That is 100% inexcusable and reeks of some sort of fix.

    Inexcusable error, yes; fix... I highly doubt that.

    The bigger picture is that the CFL really needs to invest significantly more into officiating. Too often CFL officiating is markedly substandard.

    I definitely agree with that. They really have no feel for the game.
