“ö Bombers centre Obby Khan responded to Lions tackle Steve Williams’ saying Khan started their on-field feud last weekend.

“I don’t know what he’s talking about,” said Khan. “I’ve been in the league six years and never been ejected from a game… I play hard, I play clean, he went to the ground and I laid on top of him. I think he was embarrassed that I was on top of him and he took a cheap shot, bottom line.”

“ö Bombers coach Mike Kelly on the subject of the playoff-bound Montreal Alouettes possibly resting starting QB Anthony Calvillo this weekend.

“I’d start him and I’d play him for a half and maybe even a series into the third quarter to stay with the transition of coming out of the half. There was a day when we used to win some games around here, too, and in 1993 we had secured the East Division by the end of September and kept playing Matt Dunigan and he blew out his Achilles against Sacramento (the now-defunct Sacramento Gold Miners) and we won the rest of the way out and got to the Grey Cup. We felt our chances would have been better with Matt.”

“ö Calvillo suffered a calf injury in Montreal’s win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last weekend but he told The Canadian Press he expects to play this weekend in Winnipeg.

“It’s healing up a lot faster than I thought. It’s still sore and tight, but right now I’m happy with the progress. Everything’s still up in the air, but it’s definitely improved from where it was yesterday and to me that’s always a good sign,” said Calvillo.

“ö Some coaches like to pretend they exist in a bubble and insist the only games that matter are the ones their team plays in. Not Ti-Cats boss Marcel Bellefeuille.

“We look at records, who plays who… we play all those scenarios out and explain them to the team as much as we can without taking our focus away from our next game and that day,” Bellefeuille told the Hamilton Spectator. “It’s so they know how important things are.”
