dewline: Text: I am a Rider fan and I cannot remain calm (roughriders-2)
The Saskatchewan Roughriders have just informed their Facebook followers that this year's edition of their training camp was sponsored to some degree by Molson-Coors.

For some reason, seeing that connection disturbs me deeply.

Yes, I know that beer and CFL football have a long history together. But there's that political history of the Coors family that I've been hearing about in recent years. I don't know how much truth there is to what I've heard to date, but it worries me.

And the Roughriders are the CFL team I've followed since childhood. So there's that.

Whatever else I think of the Lansdowne Park redevelopment, there's at least bit of visual coolness added to the skyline of the city now. And the CFL is back in town as well.

Check out this visual by one James Peltzer, people...

This is what happens when a Saskatchewan Roughriders game is broadcast when local game time in Regina is 730 PM: if you're a Rider fan in Ottawa-Gatineau, you stay up at 930 PM EST.

Oh well...at least there's still three quarters to play as I was originally typing this.

More on other stuff as the evening wears on...

Well, the Argos gave my Riders what-for last night, didn't they?

Nuts.

Granted, we're still locked into a playoff spot at this point, but it still feels a pain. And our home-field advantage depends on how someone else's game goes tomorrow.

Bah.

First, to the friends and acquaintances at the New York Comic-Con this weekend, I hope you're having fun! Even better if you're making good money off the show!

Third, to any other Saskatchewan Roughrider fans reading this, here's to trouncing the Argos tonight!

Fourth, to the Ottawa Senators fans, the same goes vis-a-vis the Maple Leafs!

More later as it comes to me...unless you beat me to the mark, of course...

First off, welcome to [livejournal.com profile] janet_harvey! Glad to see you! *offers virtual high-five*

Item two: check out this item from PEI on a formerly local guy making good, one Troy Little by name. Funny thing that I'm expecting to be in that part of the country in a couple of weeks and this news breaks.

Item three: Watching the Saskatchewan-Hamilton CFL game at the Patty Boland right now. If any other Saskatchewan fen show up here tonight, that'll be gravy however the game goes.

Item Four: TBDL...
