Monday musings

Green is the colour around here this week!

  • Congrats to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who spotted Calgary a 10-0 lead, then roared back to beat the Stamps 27-17 in the CFL West final.
  • Who would have thought the Riders would go undefeated in four games against the defending champs this season? I did not.
  • Who would have thought Darian Durant would completely outplay Henry Burris in the biggest game of the season (so far)? I did not.
  • Darian Durant threw three touchdown passes last night. All of them were caught by Canadian receivers. When's the last time THAT happened in a conference championship game?
  • Did you notice how much better the Riders' secondary was with Eddie Davis back in the lineup? Welcome back, ED!
  • Next up (gulp), the Montreal Alouettes.
  • Let's face it, the Als are scary good.
  • However, I'm not ready to count the Riders out against anybody anymore!
  • How exactly are any of us supposed to get any work done this week? We have Grey Cup parties to plan, damnit!

In other news...

  • Don't look now, but the Regina Pats have won three in a row, including 2-2 on their six game road trip.
  • I officially made the transition to part-time Toronto Maple Leaf fan on the weekend. It feels.....liberating!
  • My new team, the Chicago Blackhawks, has won seven games in a row. I'm not sure how to react to that level of success.
  • Of course you know that if the Leafs manage to string together 2-3 wins in a row, I'll be right back in their evil clutches, don't you?
