What CFL fans do when they are bored

So this is what Canadian football does to the locals:

Ticats fan jailed for Argo ear bite

CBC TORONTO - A Hamilton Tiger-Cats fan has been sentenced to six months in jail for biting off part of a Toronto Argonatus fan's ear.

Christopher Stevenson, 28, was convicted of attacking a Toronto man following the 2002 Labour Day game between the Argos and the Ti-Cats at Ivor Wynne Stadium.

The identity of the assailant was the central issue at the trial.

Stevenson testified it was not him, but a friend who bit the victim's ear.

His lawyer had asked for a conditional sentence, but the judge cited the disfigurement suffered by Reeves in handing down the jail term.

Stevenson was also placed on probation for two years.

Hamilton won the game 22-14.

Oh, and while we're talking CFL, the Grey Cup is on this weekend. The Toronto Argonauts play the BC Lions in Ottawa on Sunday (10am Monday in Sydney).
