But, in this alternative universe, Hamilton plays their starters against Montreal and likely wins and still makes the playoffs. 

In the same universe, the Bombers would still be positioning for playoff seating and would likely beat the Eskimos as well.  The only game from the last week that still would have gone as it went down is the Calgary - BC game because BC started their starters.

Yeah first time I saw Milt and Sanchez on the same panel I wondered how it would go because Dirty Sanchez has taken more than a few absolutely cheap and dirty shots at Milt in their playing careers. Guys don't forget **** like that. 

I can think of one Sanchez cheap shot near the end of the 2002 season that i think ended up with Milt not being 100% going into the West Final.
