Stern-faced, he gazed out toward the field, with some of the Redblacks chatting with opposing players and fans. He was angry with his team’s effort in its second straight loss (after two wins to start the CFL regular season).

“I don’t talk to anybody after we lose,” said Desjardins. “What’s the point? I’m not going to say anything positive to anybody. My family comes from out of town for every game. They know if we lose to just leave. That’s the way it is.

“I like to stand and see how other people are reacting. We have fans there, they come to see the players — you have to understand that part of it. I just like to take a broader scope of the dynamic of some players and the staff as well, relative to how they feel after a (loss). I know it eats at me for quite awhile afterwards.”
