The Saskatchewan Roughriders (4-1) will visit the Montreal Alouettes (4-1) on Friday night in the team’s second match-up of this early season. The two teams already played against each other in the opening week and the Roughriders managed to win a close game that went into double overtime. The final score in the game was 54-51 and it ended up being the 3rd highest scoring game in CFL history. I wouldn’t expect as many points this week in Montreal though, as I’m sure both defences will be on their game.

Both teams are coming off of excellent week 5 games, but only one will be able to leave Montreal with their 5th win. Montreal destroyed the Alouettes last week 41-10 and the Roughriders had a bit more trouble, but managed to win the game 37-24 in a high scoring affair. I was a little worried about the Roughriders overlooking last week’s game, but they came out and played great. This week I can guarantee that both teams are going to be ready to play.

Brett Favre finally had surgery on his bum ankle. Ya know, the same ankle he hurt last season. The same ankle he could’ve had operated on as early as February, but in order to drag out his latest comeback tour, decided to wait until late May.

It wasn’t major surgery. Instead, it was just a clean-out procedure. A four to six week recovery period would put Favre on schedule for training camp in late July. As if everyone didn’t already know, this pretty much guarantees he’ll be returning in 2010.

Scratch the Cleveland Browns off the list of potential Terrell Owens pursuers. According to the NFL Network, Browns GM Tom Heckert said T.O is “not on our radar.” Since Heckert witnessed Owens’ 2005 implosion in Philly, this comes as little surprise.

The Browns are in desperate need of veteran help at receiver, but infecting youngsters like Mohamed Massaquoi with T.O.’s poison wouldn’t be advisable. Building team chemistry and avoiding distractions is tough enough without the human wrecking ball that is Owens hanging around.

After watching this NFL Network piece on Cowboys receiver Roy Williams, I’m convinced the guy is nuts. How the hell can he still call himself “the man” after being a miserable flop for all but one season in the NFL? Has he been asleep for the last two years? Does he not know he constantly drops passes and runs the wrong routes? Is he aware Tony Romo has not a shred of confidence in him? Did he witness what Miles Austin did in 2009? The answer to all these queries would be NO.
