I admit, when it comes to sports sometimes I can get emotional and exaggerate, but I've gotta tell you, yesterdays performance by Michael Bishop in the Eastern Final has to be one of the worst I've ever seen.
The only excuse Bishop has is that it was his first ever start in professional playoff game, but that's the extent of it.
He's been around the Canadian Football League for seven years now and he should have a pretty good idea of what the game is all about.
His passing stats actually look quite impressive if you didn't see the game. He completed 21 passes for 376 yards, but attempted 45 and one of the completions went for 90 yards.
Other than that it was too little too late and in the early going he continuously over-threw open receivers. It was hard to believe why Pinball left him in there.
Which brings us to another point, what was Pinball thinking yesterday? There was little or no attempt to run the ball, and he all but ignored Andre Talbot who's been the Argos bread and butter guy all year.
The Bombers kept trying to hand the game to the Argonauts, especially in the fourth quarter, but Bishop wouldn't take it.
He should have had the opportunity, because Damon Allen or Rocky Butler couldn't have been any worse.
The sad thing is, the Argonauts had a responsibility to the city and the league to win yesterdays game, and although nothing is ever for sure, they let a lot of people down yesterday.
