The second hardest aspect of being a football analyst is when you have to be critical of players in a direct way on national TV. As a former player, I know how that can aggravate and make a difficult situation even worse and I only express those types of thoughts when truly the moment or scenario demands. Still, what is more difficult is to try to comment on what happened in Ottawa and try to express thought to convey sympathy and strength to those involved. The insignificance of football was so evident in trying to create a moment of contentment for those viewing TSN early Friday night. At times you can be at a loss for words, as a priority is to not offend but only to support. I do want to compliment all involved in the ceremony before kickoff, as it was not too much or too little. I thought it was just right, if there is an evaluation possible. I did feel a sense of respect; an appreciation and understanding that what I take for granted others have paid a price for. Unfortunately as a human, I will probably, over time, take it for granted again but maybe not in the same way. Well done to the Ottawa Redblacks and those involved. Well done on Friday night. In Montreal, the turnaround is now becoming the best story of the 2014 season. From 1-7 to 7-1, which with two games to go means the Alouettes are 8-8 and they just may win the East. Key decisions made to bring in Jeff Garcia as quarterback coach, have Ryan Dinwiddie move upstairs to oversee and call the plays, and not change from the decisions has produced a winning team. Over the first eight games of the season, they had an average 15 points scored a game. In the last eight games; 25 points per game. First eight games; 258 yards and now 317 yards. 23 sacks allowed in the first eight and going into Fridays game, only six. And the Alouettes now are masters of taking the ball away and not giving it up. John Hufnagel and Chris Jones will be given high consideration for CFL Coach of the Year, but if Montreal continues its winning ways all the way to the Grey Cup and wins, then Tom Higgins deserves the recognition. Players win games more than coaches but the turnaround in Montreal needs calm leadership. Thats Tom Higgins. Calgary 40, Saskatchewan 23 was slightly misleading to me, as the fourth quarter interceptions changed the game. Kerry Joseph was 21 of 37 for 322 yards and two touchdowns -- if we could just stop right there! But add the three interceptions and its game over. Still, a good move to give quarterbacking responsibilities to Joseph and I have been impressed. He took some good shots in the game and jumped up fast looking for more. At 41, he is too old to play 18 games but he has a maturity and presence about him that offsets his age. Darian Durant is the past, present and future of Rider football and I think we will see him again before this season is over, but I give Joseph a ton of respect to walking into a difficult situation and doing what he can do to try to make an awkward season into a good one. For Calgary, they are the best team in the league and to win 14 games with all the adversity and injury that goes into a season is a remarkable accomplishment. With Winnipeg and Calgary left, an 18-2 season would set a new standard of CFL football excellence. Tom Higgins, John Hufnagel and Chris Jones run very good organizations in completely different ways. In Toronto, the Argos were ready to play. It was 15-0 at one point, with 11 first downs to one and 11 minutes to four in terms of time of possession by the end of the first quarter. The Argonauts were ready to play and not so much that the Hamilton Tiger-Cats were not, as I had concluded at the end of their 109 yard drive for a touchdown that all confidence and momentum had shifted. Zach Collaros can play quarterback and his 23 for 36 and 335 yards says so. But the Ticats had 12 yards rushing and without a balance of some type you cant win consistently. The Argos had 80 yards from Steve Slaton on his own and that running effect changed the game. Reality is that Toronto is 7-9 and Hamilton is 7-9, a disappointing seasons so far. But with Hamilton, the plan is in place and over the time this year and next they will improve. Its a different issue with Toronto. They need a home and a physical presence in the city that is rock solid and consistent. If you could see the football facilities that the Edmonton Eskimos have you understand why they are 11-5. When you relive all the different locations the Argonauts have had to use and how they have been abused, you understand why they are 7-9. And finally; Winnipeg and BC. Sometimes repetition creates a reality that cant be ignored. Drew Willy is the future, Paris Cotton played well as a running back and Winnipeg cant stop a run game even when they know a run game is coming. It happened again, as BC closed out their game at Winnipeg with Keola Antolin and his 80 yards. The Lions are a sneaky, dangerous team. They have maturity at quarterback with Kevin Glenn, a proven pressure kicker in Paul Mccallum, a surprise physical receiver in Ernest Jackson (62, 220 lbs) and a very good defense. They are tied with Saskatchewan in point total with 18 but have two games to play; the Riders only one.

That might explain why Martin seemed so calm when his game briefly unraveled Friday in the middle of the second round of the Zurich Classic, and why he righted himself quickly enough to post the best two-round score ever at TPC Louisiana. Martin, who shot a course-record 62 on Thursday, shook off his first bogey and double bogey of the tournament to finish with a 67 on Friday, putting him at 15 under -- three shots ahead of closest pursuer Andrew Svoboda. If the 26-year-old Martin can continue to show that type of composure, he might capture his first PGA Tour victory. "Thats my personality in general. Sometimes my wife gets mad at me because I dont get excited about anything," Martin said. "And then I dont get down too much, either. Thats golf. You cant expect to shoot 62 every day." Svoboda followed his opening 64 with a 68. Robert Streb (66) and Sueng-Yul Noh (68) were tied for third at 11 under. Erik Compton also shot a 68 and was at 10 under, a score that keeps the two-time heart transplant recipient in contention for his maiden PGA Tour triumph. Tied with Compton for fifth was Peter Hanson, who shot 69, four shots off the pace of his strong opening round. Keegan Bradley (66), Jeff Overton (68) and Charley Hoffman (67) were 9 under. Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., is tied for 12th and eight shots back after shooting a 68. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., meanwhile is in a tie for 67th after shooting 71. The tournament record score at TPC Louisiana-- which is hosting New Orleans PGA Tour event for the ninth time -- is 20 under, set last year by Billy Horschel. For a while, it looked as if Martin might match that in the second round. Starting the day on the 10th hole, Martin hit an 8-iron 160 yards to a foot to set up his first birdie. On the par-5 11th, he used a 54-degree sand wedge to chip in from nearly 58 feet, one day after he chipped in with the same club from 55 feet on 17. He then sank a 7-foot putt for birdie on 13. Martin said his hot start was cooled off, aalmost poetically, by the sound of ice being poured into a cooler in one of the VIP suites overlooking the par-3 17th hole.dddddddddddd It forced him to back away from a putt attempt, and he wound up three-putting. Then he proceeded to hit his drive into water to the right of the 18th fairway, and three-putted for a double bogey. Yet, as he walked off the green, he smiled slightly and proceeded calmly and purposefully to the first tee, where he made the first of four birdies on his second nine. Thats the kind of composure Martins wife, Kelly, has come to know well. "When he comes off the course, you wouldnt know if he shot 10 under or 10 over," she said. Svoboda, who will tee off with the final group for the first time in a PGA Tour event, continued to be pleased with his putting, which he credited in part to a new putter with a shaft bent to 71 degrees and grooves on the face. "Im hitting the ball great and Im putting really well," said Svoboda, whose highlights included a 40-yard bunker shot to set up a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-5 second hole. He didnt have a single bogey in the tournament until his final hole of the day, when he three-putted the par-3 ninth. "I hit a bad second putt there," he said of his miss from 6 feet. "But I dug pretty hard today. I played really well, so Im pretty happy." DIVOTS: The cut line was 2 under, and 84 players made it to the weekend, with a couple players -- such as Max Homa and Kevin Tway, making birdie putts on their final shots to sneak in. Those putts should be worth no less than $11,600, tournament officials said, and possibly much more. ... Ernie Els, the 2012 British Open winner, missed the cut by a stroke. Horschel missed by two strokes, marking the fourth time he has missed the cut in his last eight starts. ... David Duval was tied for 12th at 7 under. ... The 36-hole tournament record belongs to Scott Verplank, a 16-under 128 at English Turn in 2003. The now-previous 36-hole tournament record of 12-under 132 at TPC Louisiana belonged to three players: Lucas Glover (2013) Jason Dufner (2012) and Jason Bohn (2010). ... The weather for the second round was mostly cloudy, 82 degrees, with wind of 6 to 12 mph.
