--Darian Durant's days of holding the clipboard are over. What a debut!!

--If Hamilton can get their game on track, Jesse Lumsden could be the MVP of this league.

--Weston Dressler takes out coach Ken Miller on the sidelines and then gives him(and the Rider Nation) a heart attack by fumbling at the one. C'MON ROOKIE!!!  :)

--In the NFL, Hamilton wins that football game and I honestly did not know the rule was different in the CFL.  To be quite honest, I think the rule should be defence's football. Its not though and that is what matters.

--Do those that thought the Riders would be last in the West want to re-visit their picks.

--Why don't the Bombers use Charles Roberts anymore.

--This whole Brett Favre saga is doing nothing but ruining his legacy.

--The Continental Hockey League may end up being the thing that makes the NHL truly global

--Tuesdays Baseball All-Star game at Yankee Stadium should be something special

--2008 is halfway done and this may be one of the best years we have seen thanks to things like Tiger at the US Open, Federer-Nadal at Wimbledon and the Giants Super Bowl win

--How many fantasy NFL leagues will I be in this year??

--What do I have to do to win Safeway's Touchdown or Score to Win. I get groceries there. Why doesn't my name ever come up??!!

--Dale Derkatch is said to be the front-runner as new coach of the Regina Pats but I think it might be Marc Habscheid.

--I can't wait to visit Wrigley Field next year. I may never come back!!

First, you can't fault

First, you can't fault Dressler for fumbling, that was a very heads-up play by that defender. As to the rules on recovery, as I understand it, causing a fumble does not give the defense automatic possession, they must touch it after it comes loose and before it goes out of bounds. Dressler clearly made contact after it came loose, ergo Sk ball. The nfl is different, you say? That doesn't make them right.
Check cfl.ca for a copy of the rule book. It's $12.95, and you have to order a copy as they only publish the changes from '07 on their website.

Dressler fumble

Mitchell, do you really think the defence should get possesion when a ball is fumbled out of bounds? That makes no sence to me.

If a ball is fumbled out of bounds on the sidelines, the offence maintains possesion and scrimages where the ball went out, and that makes eminent sence to me.

What happened yesterday was Dressler fumbled out of bounds. Period. But you can't scrimage in the end zone, right. So scrimaging on the one is the only way it could happen.
