Hank Is In The Tank

My first thought after this weekend's Canadian Football League is what is wrong with Hank? My second thought as the
Saskatchewan RoughRiders prepare for the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday is who cares and lets hope it continues.
Smiling Hank, ie Henry Burris, isn't doing so much smiling these days after the Montreal Alouettes throttled the Stamps 32 - 11
on Thanksgiving Monday. Hank was pulled out of the game with about five minutes remaining after tossing a couple of interceptions and failing to lead his team into the end zone for a little more than two consecutive games now. Something like nine quarters since the Stampeders failed to find the end zone. A dance instructor will have to be brought in to help the
Stampeder receivers regain than dancing steps, it has been so long since they have scored a touchdown. Isn't it nice to not
see those ridiculous dances from Calgary?
Three former Riders had pretty good games on the weekend. Jamel Richardson, three touchdowns for Montreal, Adarius Bowman, two touchdowns for Winnipeg and 10 catches for 213 yards. I don't think Jason Clermont has seen that many passes all year for the Riders. And then of course quarterback Michael Bishop leading the Bombers to their win over Hamilton. I realize a lot of
people around these parts do not like Michael Bishop but when that guy is having one of his good days, he is a pretty effective quarterback.
So now in the West its Calgary and Saskatchewan in first at 8 - 6, BC second at 7 - 7 (where did these guys come from all of a sudden) and Edmonton last at 6 - 8.
Over in the East Montreal 12 - 2, Hamilton and Winnipeg 6 - 8 and poor old Toronto 3 - 11. Interesting listening to the talking suits on TSN. Listen to these guys and why bother with a Grey Cup game? Just give it to Montreal. I guess they don't remember the BC Lions starting 11 - 0 one season and then failing to even get to the Grey Cup. Suitor of all people should realize the regular season means nothing other than 18 games to decide who gets the home field advantage.
So this week its Saskatchewan at Calgary. Can we keep Hank in the tank? Hamilton at Montreal, Edmonton at Toronto and
BC at Winnipeg. What a tough week for predictions but here we go.
Saskatchewan over Calgary (I admit its my heart, not my head)
Edmonton over Toronto
Hamilton over Montreal (nothing in it for the Als)
Winnipeg over BC
