Sports Night


The loss against the Edmonton Eskimos has tipped the scales of confidence in Rider Nation. All of a sudden the offensive playbook needs to be burned, the quarterback is no longer a hero and the special teams are dreadful.
The way I see it, only one of those things is true.
But to calm you, the fans, nerves let's take a trip back to memory lane.
Trust me, it won't hurt. Its only 365 days.
Hope everybody had a great summer, well that is until that game on Saturday night! WOW, that better be the worst game the Roughriders play this season because if it isn't, I can't imagine watching anything much worse than that. Yes, the Riders got pummeled by the Stampeders a few weeks ago, but at least the Stampeders showed up to play. The Eskimos were their usual shoot themselves in the foot football team and the Riders found a way to be worse, which cost the Riders another spot.
POWER RANKINGS
The Canadian Football League is now officially a class system: Upper Class (Montreal, Calgary, Saskatchewan and Toronto), Middle Class (Hamilton and Winnipeg) and a Lower Class (Edmonton and B.C.).
I imagine grouping them together like that isn't a good enough power ranking is it?
Without further ado:
Here we are for another week. Drew Remenda went four for four, Premier struggled and I was average.
Here's how we see the CFL going into Week 7.
Premier Wall (16-8) Saskatchewan - Winnipeg - Montreal - Calgary
Drew Remenda (15-9) - Saskatchewan - Hamilton - Montreal - Calgary
Jamie Nye (12-12) - Saskatchewan - Hamilton - Montreal - Calgary
Matchups: Thursday, B.C. (1-5) @ Saskatchewan (4-2); Friday, Hamilton (2-4) @ Winnipeg (2-4); Saturday, Montreal (5-1) @ Toronto (4-2); Sunday, Edmonton (1-5) @ Calgary (5-1)
