    O'Shea interviewed on TSN during the game said he heard a few boos, but joked/laughed about it.

    He was a great MLB for the Argos, but I still remember him too as an outstanding young linebacker for the Ticats; a lot of Pussycat fans might think of him as a traitor, but the smart ones will realize how great he played on their D - even as a rookie - for a few seasons.

    In 1994, Hamilton lost the last game of the season, knocking them out of the Playoffs. O'Shea was the only player hanging around post game under the stands, noticeably distraught about the loss, signing autographs. Still in full equipment, bloody knees and all, he signed my Jogo card. I was pretty excited when he joined the Argonauts a few years later.

    I was at O'Shea's first CFL game as a rookie - in Ottawa; didn't follow the CFL draft (or CIS ball) near as much back then and didn't know much or anything about the guy - had to ask a Ticat fan sitting near me who this linebacker was making plays/nose for the ball, all over the field.

    Yes so richly deserved, Mike was the best.
    His tackles total tells you a lot, but even more, he had the heart and the burning
    desire to win, and the love of the game that Flutie and Pinball also had.
    Put them together it was just the best of times for Argo fans. Way to go O'Shea!
