Nearly 50 years after a controversial play in the CFL championship game, Joe Kapp & Angelo Mosca (both in their 70s) scuffled on stage Sunday. Time does not necessarily heal all wounds. Former CFL legends Joe Kapp and Angelo Mosca became involved in a fight Friday during a CFL alumni luncheon. A video of the incident on YouTube showed Kapp attempting to give Mosca flowers as an apparent peace offering and Mosca rejecting the gesture with an expletive. Kapp, 73, a former B.C. Lions quarterback, then shoved the flowers in Mosca's face, prompting the 74-year-old Mosca, a former Hamilton Tiger-Cats defensive lineman, to attempt to shove them away with his hands. Kapp then swatted Mosca with the flowers, and Mosca retaliated by swinging his cane and striking Kapp in the head. Kapp then landed a right hand to Mosca's jaw, then a left that felled Mosca. "It was the most bizarre thing that's happened to me in 31 years in the game," said comedian Ron James, who was serving as the luncheon's host. "It's unfortunate because lost in all this was the great work Leo Ezerins (CFL alumni association head) did to set this up to bring attention (to post-concussion syndrome in pro athletes)." Once Mosca was helped up on to a nearby chair, Kapp apologized to the crowd for the incident. But shortly afterwards, he relayed a bizarre story about Fleming having a dog he named Angelo and how he beat the animal daily. "I don't want to pass judgement on Angelo Mosca or Joe Kapp but I think there is a lesson to be learned here," James said. "The trick to life is to lighten the road, not pile it on. "But these guys, despite their age, what is bred in their bones is a warrior's streak.",
