I think it's safe to say that Saskatchewan Roughrider slotback Andy Fantuz has arrived. The Fantuztic one caught 7 passes for 240 yards and 3 touchdowns to lead the Riders past Hamilton 40-23 Sunday. In the process, Fantuz likely vaulted himself into contender status for Canadian Player of the Year in the CFL's West Division. I'm thinking young Jacob will be well-pleased when he unwraps his #83 Rider retro jersey on Christmas morning! It'll make a nice complement to his autographed Fantuz bobblehead, I must say.
The Riders face Hamilton at home Sunday. A win clinches a home playoff game for the green guys. Now we wait to see what, if any punishment the league hands down to the three Riders ejected from the game - linebacker Mike McCullough and offensive linemen Mike Abou-Mechrek and Jermese Jones. Or, as heard on CJME this morning, Rob Abou-Mechrek and Jermesy Jones. Yikes.
The Regina Pats took 2 of 3 games on the weekend, but experienced a scoring drought along the way. Regina edged Kootenay 2-1 in overtime Friday night, snuck past Prince Albert 1-0 Saturday, then ran out gas in Moose Jaw Sunday night, losing 4-0. The Warriors scored all their goals in the third period, to run their winning streak to four games.
I would imagine the lack of scoring punch from any players not named Eberle has to be a concern for the Pats' braintrust. It should be.

You might want to check your facts on that one because the guy who reads the morning sports on that fine radio station happens to work for TSN. Of course he knows what he's talking about. How dare you criticize!

Which leads to the ever-popular question of "Why is a guy in Saskatoon reading the morning sports for a Regina station anyway?"
What do you mean?
Haven't you ever heard of Kaspars Sal-EE-tis or Mike RIKE? Too bad the Pats let them go.
I could understand the weekend news guy/gal screwing up Goran Ivanisevic, but the morning sports guru (and self-proclaimed TSN megastar) mispronouncing the names of the home team players, the team which they are so desperate to become the radio rights holder for? One word: credibility.
Nice work fellas, nice work!
I must not take this further.
I shall not take this further.
I probably shouldn't take this further.
Nope, wouldn't be wise to take it further.
Nothing to be gained by taking it further.
Can't see me taking this further.
