News and notes from Rider practise

Well, it's official - Marcus Crandell will start at quarterback for the Riders tomorrow night against Hamilton. Marcus was calm and relaxed while facing the media after practise, but you have to know he's excited to be given the reins again - even for only one game.

Scott Schultz was surprised to hear he and Nate Davis had been "called out" by Roy Shivers for the defense's inability to stop the run in the late stages of the loss in Edmonton. Schultzie promises a different result if the Ti-Cats try to exploit the middle of the Riders' defense this week.

Rod Pedersen plays internet checkers against Japanese kids. Who knew?
