by Jeremy Visser… Yeah, I’d call that a choke. The Saskatchewan Roughriders blew a 27-11 fourth quarter lead, falling to the Montreal Alouettes 28-27 in last nights Grey Cup on a 33-yard Damon Duval field goal as time expired. I’m guessing this one’s a little hard to take for Regina natives, because from what I understand, the CFL is pretty much their lives.
In the end, the team that was by far the most dominant in the league this year came out on top. Sure, they got some help from an inept Rider squad late, but that’s why they play the full 60 minutes. Avon Cobourne, whose three-yard score midway through the fourth pulled Montreal within eight, picked up MVP honours.
A day later and I’m guessing Saskatchewan Roughrider fans still haven’t fallen asleep after last night’s collapse due to their coach’s inability to count. Hell, even Hedo Turkoglu couldn’t have blown a game in such ugly fashion.
