He may not always 'Bleed Green', but he's always brutally honest - never afraid to speak his mind. Mitchell is passionate about the game, and after covering the team since he was old enough to hold a microphone, he's now hangs out with Drew Remenda every night getting paid to do what he's become so good at... having an opinion.
Scott Schultz was to call into the DRSS Tuesday night to kick off the show but he went AWOL for a while. He eventually got on to talk about Sunday's Western Final and how much better prepared the Riders are this year than in years gone past.......
It has just crossed my desk that Lions offensive line Jason Jimenez has indicated he will appeal his one game suspension. Its not known when that appeal will take place but as it stands right now, it looks like he will play in the Western final.
It was an advantage last week but it will be a disadvantage this week and that is the crowd noise. Kent Austin discussed that with the Regina media on Tuesday....
Scott Schultz will join me tonight on the Drew Remenda Sports Show(minus the host---yet again!!! Just kidding.) He will help me kick off the show at 605.
Rider quarterback Kerry Joseph knows his team stalled in the Western semi-final having to settle for field goals instead of touchdowns but he is still happy with the way the offence is playing as they start getting ready for the Western final against the Lions.....
Commissioner Mark Cohon was one of many in Taylor Field who witnessed the Rider win. During the game, I spoke with him about the fact the league is enjoying great attendance and other things. Check it out....
Heres the edict from the league office
The Canadian Football League (CFL) announced today that it has imposed a one-game suspension on offensive lineman Jason Jimenez of the B.C. Lions for Rough Play on an illegal block on defensive lineman Anthony Gargiulo of the Calgary Stampeders during the Saturday, November 3 game at B.C. Place Stadium. This decision was determined following an extensive review process that included a formal hearing.
Many CFL writers have been doing blogs for their daily paper. You may see the outstanding one that my good friends Rob Vanstone and Darrell Davis have for the Regina Leader-Post. Another good one is from Mike Petrie of the Calgary Herald. He shot a video of the scene immediately following the final gun of what it was like on field level. Enjoy!!!!!
When you are watching the highlights of the WSF and you see DJ Flick speeding down the sidelines, take a look at who is standing on the sidelines right by the goal-line. C'mon Jim, c'mon Eric...at least borrow some pom-poms from the cheer team if you're going to do that. :)
