Thunder Come Through

After the Rams and Riders both lost, the pressure was on the Thunder to make it a good weekend for at least one Regina team. They did! They beat the Calgary Colts 17-6 to advance to the PFC final against the Hilltops next weekend. That means Rams-Huskies on Saturday and Hilltops-Thunder on Sunday. I'm thinking a few people will be headed up the highway next weekend. Hopefully they stay for both. Saskatchewan football will be on display.

No magic for Brett Favre at Lambeau on Sunday. Just about though. He still shows some flashes, but there isn't much left in that body. I really think that was his last game appearance at Lambeau. If you saw the end of the game, I think he knew it too.

Is Paul Lapolice going to have to put a want ad in the paper to find a quarterback. Joey Elliott is his guy after both Steven Jyles and Alex Brink went down on Saturday, but no one else wants to play (Kerry Joseph, Cody Pickett). Can't blame them seeing it would be just for two weeks.

I am not going to give a cheezy Joey Elliott-Def Leppard joke even though it is there.

To those that don't like Jim Daley's special teams, did you see the disaster that was the Arizona Cardinals special teams against the Seahawks yesterday. WOW!!!! New Orleans' wasn't much better. How exactly do you let a punter run up the middle on you from deep in their own end and go for 66 yards!
-----
The Seahawks are 4-2 and are tied for the 2nd best record in the NFC. Some out there suggested Seattle would win just two games this year. HA HA!!! That team barring disaster will win their division. Yes, I know its a bad division and no, I am not making Super Bowl reservations.

Why do I hate the Steelers? Just look at how their game ended in Miami. Yes, NFL officials have successfully found another way to screw a team playing Pittsburgh. (I told you that scar from Super Bowl 40 won't heal for a long time) You can't tell me that no official saw Miami had recovered the ball in the endzone thus taking away a Pittsburgh game winning field goal that followed. CFL fans complain about the officiating in this league, but even Andre Proulx would have gotten that one right. (He would have right? Right?)

Cleveland beat New Orleans? The Raiders put up 59 on Denver?
---
Seeing Jay Cutler throw interceptions makes me smile. Hey Jay, do you wish you wouldn't have been so petulant and stayed in Denver. Suck it up big boy!!
----
I wonder if CFL players laugh when they hear NFL'ers talk about an 18 game season and how detrimental that might be.
-----
Are we going to see white stuff on the ground before Hallowe'en?

Wade Barrett did not win the WWE heavyweight belt from Randy Orton. That surprises me somewhat because I would think this whole stupid John Cena-Nexus storyline will come down to Barrett putting his belt on the line against Cena with his affilliation to Nexus somehow on the line. Of course Cena would win that match. I'm thinking now we might see that scenario play itself out at the Royal Rumble.

Pamela Anderson is going to be on the cover of Playboy for a 15th time. Is she still relevant? What is left to see that we haven't already?
-----
I'm guessing the Pats wish they could play Swift Current all year seeing they have beaten them all three games this year.
----
Another good show for Graham DeLaet on the PGA Tour as he finished six shots back of the winner--Jonathan Byrd. How did Byrd win the Justin Timberlake Shriners Event? On the 4th hole of the playoff, he hit an ace. NICE! As for DeLaet, he takes home just over 58-grand.

Have a good Monday! Don't get too angry as you revisit the Rider game!
