In reviewing the week that was in the CFL, we provide several individual moments, including the one that just won't go away.

The controversial call by the officials to negate the touchdown by the Montreal Alouettes in their 19-12 loss to the B.C. Lions is something that will reverberate for a few more days, pending the ruling by the CFL on the Als' protest. Regardless of what is ruled - the Als may be seeking the final minute to be replayed from the point of the controversial call, although that would be unprecedented - something has to be done to make sure that either it doesn't happen again or, at the very least, any stoppage in play will be clearly understood and seen. The funny thing about all this is that the game supervisor and video replay official wanted the play stopped thinking five seconds should have been added to the time remaining, and now the CFL will be looking at video evidence to support the claim a whistle was blown prior to or just after the start of the play.

- The decision by Lions' head coach Wally Buono to call a timeout just before the first of what would be three cracks by the Als to register a first down. It was the equivalent of icing the kicker and proved how valuable it is to maintaining that timeout. I've said it before and I'll repeat it: Buono manages a game better than anybody currently coaching in the CFL. He is involved in all areas of the game, constantly talking to his players, his coaches and, on occasion, the officials.

- Marc Trestman's reaction after the loss to the Lions. He didn't run after the officials or throw a hissy fit. In fact, he handled the whole matter with class. He accepts victory as well as defeat with the same measure of dignity.

- The one-handed catch by Jeremaine Copeland in Calgary's thrashing of the Edmonton Eskimos. There have been some spectacular catches this year, but Copeland's clearly tops the list. He is playing as well as he did in his days with the Als in 2003 when he posted 1,757 receiving yards.

- The catches by Arland Bruce in Hamilton's win over Toronto. Did he push off on one of those catches, as claimed by Argos cornerback Jordan Younger? Maybe. Did Bruce actually have full possession of the highlight reel catch he had? Maybe. Either way, Bruce proved why he can be one of the best receivers in the CFL when he puts his mind to it.

- The stellar play by Saskatchewan rush end John Chick, who almost singlehandedly thwarted Winnipeg with his tackles, sacks and non-stop motor. Chick is easily the CFL's top defensive player; notwithstanding the play of teammate and fellow rush end Stevie Baggs. I think Chick is the better of the two because of his consistency.

- The reaction of running back Fred Reid when stopped cold on the final play of the first half against the Riders.

- The mistakes made by Edmonton rookie running back Arkee Whitlock in the loss to Calgary. It was all too familiar of his debut when he fumbled and dropped catches. He made huge advances after that humbling beginning. It will be interesting to see how he bounces back from this.

- The rant by Calgary quarterback Henry Burris, who continues to claim he gets no respect from the media. That good Hank/bad Hank thing is overplayed. The Stamps' losses this year have been more about defence than offence, so why Burris is so upset is beyond me. Edmonton's Ricky Ray is a better pure passer. Montreal's Anthony Calvillo has more longevity. But Burris is clearly more athletic than the other two and put it together last year under the tutelage of head coach John Hufnagel.

- Every glimpse of the ladies frolicking in the hot tub at Mosaic Stadium. Is there a better sight in all of Regina?

- The entire Pacman Jones nonsense. This was botched from the moment Winnipeg player-personnel director John Murphy publicly talked about the potential signing and its publicity impact, without realizing the golden rule of football team: don't say anything until the contract is registered with the league. It was a rookie mistake.
