Monday musings

Thoughts. Just the thoughts, ma'am:

  • Wow, the Saskatchewan Roughriders looked awful in Saturday's 24-6 loss in Hamilton.
  • However, the Riders still clinched a home playoff game, thanks to Calgary's win over the B.C. Lions.
  • If Saskatchewan can knock off Calgary in Saturday's regular-season finale, the green guys finish in first for the first time since 1976.
  • At some point, the Riders are really going to have to run the ball with someone other than Darian Durant.
  • Run blocking and pass protection have to improve. Immediately.
  • Offensive lineman Chris Best doesn't look like he's ready for prime time.
  • The defensive secondary misses Eddie Davis. A lot.
  • Darian Durant has to get rid of the football quicker.
  • In other news...
  • The Green Bay Packers can't seem to beat the Brett Favre-led Minnesota Vikings.
  • I keep waiting for Favre to run out of gas, as he did last year with the Jets. Still waiting...
  • Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is a player, but he also has to learn to get rid of the ball faster.
  • Even if the University of Regina Rams sneak into the Canada West playoffs on a technicality, doesn't that just mean they'll get stomped by the U of S two weeks in a row?
  • The New York Yankees are on the verge of another World Series title. Which is another reason why I rarely watch baseball anymore.
  • Damned if I know why, but I've become hooked on the show Criminal Minds on A&E.
  • It's no SportZone on Access 7, but it's pretty good.
  • For anyone attending the RMF coaches appreciation night on November 10th: You could do a lot worse than casting a ballot for the Cougars in the atom Coach of the Year competition! I'm just sayin'...
