Of the CFL-leading 91 tackles Alex Singleton has recorded so far this season, the list of hits he genuinely enjoys rewatching is awfully short.

How short?

Well … when the Calgary Stampeders star linebacker is asked which tackles are his favourite, he lists only one before shifting the focus to the hits his teammates have delivered.

“The only one I actually liked was the Ottawa (Redblacks) one, where Maleki (Harris) scooped and scored,” Singleton said Wednesday from McMahon Stadium. “That was the one that I thought was cool.

“I honestly like watching other guys get them more than myself — it’s more fun. I celebrate more when other guys hit than when I do.”

Maybe it’s a good thing Singleton isn’t celebrating all that much whenever he makes a big tackle, because he’d be wasting a whole lot of energy if he busted out a new set of dance moves every time he made a hit this season.

Over the past three games alone, Singleton has delivered 35 tackles, becoming the first player since the CFL started recording tackling statistics to pick up at least 10 tackles in three-straight games.
