Roughriders continue to roll

They're atop the West Division standings and are the CFL's only undefeated team. But it seems the more the Saskatchewan Roughriders win, the more injuries they have to deal with. The defending Grey Cup champions improved to 6-0 last week with a close 22-21 road win over the Calgary Stampeders. But the Riders also lost four more players to injury, including receivers Matt Dominguez (knee) and Carl Berman (Achilles tendon) and fullback Neal Hughes (leg). 05/08/08 7:34 PM

The West's winning ways3

For 17 years, Favre was the toughest hombre in the NFL, and on the day he left the league, he was reduced to sobbing child. 07/03/08 8:52 PM 1
