Chris Leak comes up big for Montreal

[O-town Gator]

"Since his memorable night hoisting the BCS trophy in Glendale, Ariz. in 2007, former Gator QB Chris Leak has descended from that mountain of success to the bottom of the depth chart for the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes.

But on Aug. 19, Leak was finally given another chance to shine … and rose to the occasion."

That game was against my Blue Bombers. I'm glad he's having some success, but of course, wish it was against anyone else but my team.

Interesting moment: he completed a decent-looking pass for a first down, and was pumped enough that he did the Gator chomp. That drive stalled a little, and on the next one, he got picked off. The DB responsible did the chomp right back at Leak.

On one of the Bomber forums, a couple of Vols fans said they were so glad it happened because they "hate Leak." My response, of course, was that it's alright for them to be jealous of the Gators' tradition of excellence given their school's wallowing in mediocrity, but they shouldn't hold that against Leak.

They didn't see the humour.

They didn't see the humor because they didn't know what you were saying. Next time you talk to a Vols fan, try not to use big words like 'alright', 'given', or 'school'.

Hah! Noted for future reference!

Is he going to be the starter next game?

 

[FrozenGator]

Not sure. I would say it's not likely as the Alouettes have a Bye week coming up. That gives their starter (Calvillo) an extra week to heal.

Leak did a good job, and like I said before, I wish him well, just not against my Bombers...

This would be a great couple weeks to see good headlines for Leak, Grossman, and Tebow. I would love to hear all the smack talk in the office.

He'll be starting for Montreal next week against British Columbia: http://www.examiner.com/montreal-alouettes-in-montreal/calvillo-out-leak-to-start-for-alouettes-against-lions

Good for me, but bad for him, he did not do well. He looked really good on a number of drives, but a couple of picks and a fumble just did not help anything.

The Alouettes got absolutely spanked by the lacklustre Lions. I hope Leak improves, though. He said that he wanted to "turn Molson stadium into the Swamp." I like that sentiment... even if I hope the team he's on experiences no wins for the rest of my life (divisional rivals with my own team).
