Patrick Spoils The TSN Script

I found myself in a strange place as I watched the Saskatchewan RoughRiders defeat the BC Lions 33 - 30 overtime win over the BC Lions in the Canadian Football League yesterday. I had cheered on the Riders all day, always do, and first place was on the line or at least a first place tie with the Calgary Stampeders. Luca Congi had just kicked a field goal to give the Riders the lead and now under the CFL overtime format it was the Lions turn to get the ball and try to score. And shocker of all shockers, I found myself inwardly cheering for Casey Printers to throw a touchdown pass and win the game for the Lions. I mean what a Cinderella story that would have been, All game long, almost every time Printers completed the pass the TSN broadcast crew, (I think they were cheering for the Lions as well) reminded us that Printers had been rescued from the football scrap, that no team had wanted him and now here he was about the throw the winning touchdown pass in overtime to win the game for the Lions. I mean what a story that would have been. But lurking over in the evil corners of the end zone was a villian, James Patrick apparently hadn't read the TSN scripted ending and intercepted the Printer's pass giving the Riders the overtime win.
I felt great elation that Patrick had made the interception, the Riders win the game, they still share first place with Calgary, but
you really have to feel bad for Casey Printers. He put on a show, took the blame for the pass on himself and played a helluva game. It's good to have Casey Printers back in the game.
My other thought on this Rider win is that coach Ken Miller may want to sit down with his offense and go over the difference between a two point conversion and a touchdown. The Riders seem to have a patent on scoring two point conversions but TD's seem to be hard to come by. Two point conversion equals two points Green Guys, a touchdown is six.
As for my predictions well I got three out of four right.
Calgary Stampeders spoiled my perfect weekend by whipping Edmonton 30 - 7. Thats what happens when you predict with our heart not your head.
Hamilton beat Toronto 26 - 17 (Leafs lost too - how bad are these Toronto teams?)
And Winnipeg got it done with a 41 - 24 drubbing of the Montreal Alouettes. Where has the Al's defense gone? 79 points scored against them in the last two games.
So the standings in the West
Saskatchewan and Calgary 9 - 6 - 1 for 19 points, BC 8 - 8 for 16 and Edmonton 7 - 9 for 14.
In the East - Montreal 13 - 3, Winnipeg and Hamilton 7 - 9 and poor old Toronto 3 - 13.
In the crossover Edmonton and Winnipeg are tied.
So Friday its Toronto at Edmonton, Saturday Saskatchewan at Hamilton and Calgary at BC and Sunday Winnipeg at Montreal.
