Yes, Saskatchewan. They Are That Bad.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are much like Charlie Brown lining up to kick the football held by Lucy.
Charlie tells himself that this time he can’t help but make the kick and as he is about to kick the ball, Lucy snatches the ball away and Charlie lands on his back where Lucy explains why she jerked the ball away from him this time.
The Riders had filled their fans with some form of optimism following their win over Montreal and conditions Saturday including a last second win by Edmonton over Winnipeg seemed to set the stage for the Riders to put in a performance that could possibly knock off the BC Lions and tighten the race for third in the CFL Western Conference.
Then Kevin Glenn fumbled the ball, Johnathon Jennings of the Lions put on a clinic (ironic how he had appeared at a Riders mini-camp but management couldn’t close the deal on a contract) and the Riders ended up all but eliminated in a 46-20 loss.
