Hardly an epic battle

Tomorrow night's regular season finale between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Edmonton Eskimos is shaping up to be a yawner. Mind you, that's probably a better scenario for the Riders than needing a win to make the post-season. They've sewn up third place in the West, and will travel to Calgary next weekend for the West Semi-Final.

So, the Gang Green is taking no chances, and resting lots of regulars for this week. On offense we'll see the likes of Nathan Hoffart and Neil Hughes getting some work, while guys like Luc Mullinder and Dwan Epps will take a regular turn on defence. It'll be interesting to see if Rider sack-master Fred Perry gets much playing time. Perry is two back of BC's Brent Johnson for the league lead, with 14 quarterback sacks.

I'm thinking Jacob and I will be dabbling in Madden Football at halftime. If the game's a dog, we may just keep the game on.
