Riders looking for redemption in Edmonton
Courtesy Regina Leader Post: While the Edmonton Eskimos’ 31-27 come-from-behind win on Sunday was not enjoyed by anyone in the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ locker room, it may serve a purpose.

Riderville: Kornegay will always be a defensive back
Courtesy Regina Leader Post: It appears that Tad Kornegay is about to take a few steps back with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Riders destroy Winnipeg in Banjo Bowl
Courtesy Regina Leader Post: The Saskatchewan Roughriders weren’t worried about sending messages to the other seven teams in the CFL before Sunday’s Banjo Bowl against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. They were more concerned with beating Winnipeg before a sold-out crowd of 29,533 at Canad Inns Stadium. The Riders defeated the hapless Blue Bombers 55-10 on [...]

Courtesy Regina Leader Post: Rey Williams is trying to be persuasive.
