• A one-game suspension for Marino’s illegal and reckless tackle of an Ottawa offensive lineman on a previous play. The league also cited Marino’s discipline record after 12 CFL career games, which includes a previous ejection and two fines for his manner of play. “This behaviour has no place in our league,” said CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie. “This discipline is intended to send a strong message that it will not be tolerated.”
