Week 4 brought us ridiculous moments; Joshua Stanford’s ridiculous catch, Tyrell Sutton’s monster truck stick and much more
Thursday | Saskatchewan 18, Hamilton 13
A late Marcus Thigpen led the Riders past the Ticats on Thursday Night Football, which featured Canadian country music star Tim Hicks as the half-time act.

Despite the loss, Ticats fan Colin O’Shea had a typically awesome time in Regina:

Friday | Ottawa 28, Montreal 18
Brad Sinopoli went off for 148 receiving yards and a touchdown, and the REDBLACKS earned their fifth-straight win at Molson Stadium.
Ottawa receiver Noel Thomas Jr. hauled in his first career CFL touchdown, and snapped a pic with fellow UConn Football alumni Alex Mateas, Trey Rutherford and Jesse Joseph.

Saturday | Toronto 20, Edmonton 17
A fourth-quarter Declan Cross touchdown proved the difference as Toronto edged the visiting Esks.
The story of the game on Twitter, however, was an air horn that stood out on the television broadcast.
Only thing more annoying than having the ball the entire second quarter and not scoring a touchdown is that horn.

To whoever has that damn horn in Toronto:
I’m actually impressed with your persistence. Lay off the coffee!#Argos #CFL

Adam Bighill snatched two interceptions against his former team, and the Bombers raced to a 22-point win over BC.
.@Wpg_BlueBombers LB Adam Bighill erases any chance of a @BCLions comeback with a pick-six in the 4th quarter.
How’s that for getting some revenge on your old team? 😏 #CFLGameday pic.twitter.com/FjTbzUYJhm

Andrew Harris’s pre-game tweet — referencing a hippo being undeterred by Lions — spawned an in-game celebration.

Lions Twitter, meanwhile, summed up a lacklustre second half.
