Sights, Sounds and Social | Division Semi-Finals
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Winnipeg Blue Bombers extended their respective seasons with Division Semi-Final victories on Sunday.
Let’s revisit how those two contests looked on social media.
Sunday | Hamilton 48, BC 8
Ric Flair brought ’em out in The Hammer; how could the Ticats not cruise to a 40-point victory after having the Nature Boy out?

REDBLACKS star receiver Diontae Spencer was in the CFL on TSN studio — purportedly as Henry Burris’ intern.

And of course, Sunday’s Eastern Semi-Final proved to be the final game of Wally Buono’s legendary career.
I never had an opportunity to play for @CoachBrillo but we always had good chats, and a conversation with him at BC Place underneath the goal posts before a game one day helped extend my career another 6 years! Thanks coach #cfl #WallyBuono #BCLions #stampeders

Wally just offered me his blanket on the plane because he thought I was still cold after the game ❤️ Just honestly one of the best humans around. Thanks coach, it’s been an honour working with you. Now go relax and enjoy the grandkids! 😊 pic.twitter.com/DkPjAbgAYw

With their 2018 campaign finished, the Roughriders organization and its players took to Twitter to thank their fans.

The difference Sunday? Winnipeg created more turnovers and scored more touchdowns.
The @sskroughriders offence has played 15+ quarters versus @Wpg_BlueBombers this season and produced 3 offensive touchdowns. #CFL
