Lions defensive lineman Kemoko Turay and Montreal defensive lineman Isaac Adeyemi-Berglund were central figures. There also was an unidentified practice roster player in street clothes who seemed to be in the middle of it as well. TSN's camera doing post-game interviews on the field caught Lions players running toward the melee. The Lions had won the game on a 43-yard field goal from Sean Whyte with no time showing on the clock. 'Right now, it's in the league's hands,' Lions head coach Buck Pierce said Monday. 'We'll discuss with them. 'It's unfortunate that it happened, but we're still looking at it right now.' Essential reading for hockey fans who eat, sleep, Canucks, repeat.

According to a statement that Turay sent to 3DownNation via a Lions representative, he had gone toward the Montreal dressing room to reconnect with Alouettes offensive lineman Jamar McGloster, who he knows from past football stops. Turay explained that 'he was approached by another individual who was trash-talking and telling him to leave the area.' Tempers flared. He maintained that Adeyemi-Berglund landed the first punch. Montreal head coach Jason Maas had a different story for the media there Saturday, telling them that 'apparently someone tried to get into our locker room, and you're not just going to get into our locker room.' Maas admitted that he didn't see how the incident started. 'I don't know what happened. I know our team, our guys, did not feel very good about someone else trying to step into our locker room after that game, but I'll let everything get sorted out,' Maas said. 'I'm sure they got plenty of video on it to see what did transpire. I don't think any player around the league needs to go into an opposition locker room right after a game, let alone that kind of game.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Lions linebacker Micah Awe believes that a 'misconception' was likely at play. Awe was a member of the Alouettes in 2022, so he's familiar with their group as well. 'Nobody is going to accomplish anything by going into the other team's locker room alone. It's just common sense,' Awe said. 'It was just a miscommunication across the teams, where someone thought something was happening. That's all it was. I know all those guys. I was like 'just back up. No big deal. Move on. It's a long season.'' B.C.

Photo by Graham Hughes / The Canadian Press Lions offensive lineman Chris Schleuger and George Una, along with Saskatchewan Roughriders defensive linemen Micah Johnson and Mike Rose, were all fined by the league last week for their roles in an altercation during B.C.'s 37-18 loss to the Roughriders on June 28. There were five players across the league fined then. B.C. offensive lineman Kory Woodruff was fined by the league for making contact with an official during B.C.'s 27-14 loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on June 21. Woodruff was one of eight players fined that week. As per CFL policy, the league does not announce the amounts of the fines. B.C. (2-3) is at the Edmonton Eskimos (1-3) on Sunday.

Colson Montgomery makes his home debut with the Chicago White Sox
CHICAGO (AP) — Colson Montgomery traveled a bumpy road from top prospect to the major leagues. The young shortstop was joined on the journey by the Chicago White Sox. That made Monday night even sweeter for the player and the rebuilding team. Montgomery made his home debut for Chicago in the opener of a three-game series against Toronto. He played in his first major league game on Friday night at Colorado and went 5 for 10 while helping the White Sox take two of three against the Rockies. 'I'm just so happy to be part of this organization, and them just believing in me, to be honest,' a smiling Montgomery said. 'Because there's a lot that goes into, you know, last year, you don't really play the best, and then you start this year not really playing the best. And there was just never a doubt in their mind with the White Sox.' First baseman Ryan Noda was placed on the 10-day injured list before the matchup with Toronto, and infielder Tristan Gray was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. Noda has a right quad strain. Montgomery, 23, was a first-round pick in the 2021 amateur draft. He appeared to be on his way to a big league debut last season, but he had a tough year with Charlotte. He batted .214 with 18 homers and 63 RBIs, striking out 164 times in 130 games. He had a chance to make the major league team in spring training, but he was sent back to Charlotte in March. He was batting just .149 (14 for 94) when the White Sox decided to have him go to Arizona to work with Ryan Fuller, who was hired in November as the organization's director of hitting. 'Ultimately it just came down to just really finding this routine that we've kind of, I guess you could say, fine-tuned,' Montgomery said. 'And I mean, I'm just trying to perfect that routine and then go out there and execute it.' Montgomery's work with Fuller, along with the reset that went along with time away from games, helped him find his form. He hit .270 (33 for 122) after returning to Charlotte, earning a promotion. He went hitless in his debut against the Rockies, but he robbed Ryan Ritter with a terrific catch in the second inning. He hit an RBI triple for his first big league hit on Saturday. 'I'm really proud of him,' White Sox general manager Chris Getz said. 'We talked, now it was months ago, you know, I gave him a call and just to kind of do a little check in and, you know, he's going through it. He was really struggling, and I said, 'Hey, you know we're going to figure this out. You're going to figure this out. You just can't quit.' And he goes, 'I'm not going to quit.' And he didn't.' The series opener against the Blue Jays also was the team's first home game since former White Sox closer Bobby Jenks died on Friday in Portugal, where he was being treated for a form of stomach cancer. He was 44. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Fans placed flowers in Jenks' memory at the 2005 World Series monument outside the ballpark, and the team honored the two-time All-Star with a highlight video and a pregame moment of silence. Getz, who played with Jenks in 2008 and 2009 with the White Sox, said the closer had a big heart. 'He was just this most fun-loving kid,' Getz said. 'And obviously a tremendous competitor, you know, on the mound. He didn't have an easy life. He didn't. I know that his family's got to be really going through it right now. It's obviously really sad.' ___ AP MLB:
