Rider Rumbling

Following last Sunday's 29-14 defeat at the hands of the Riders Bomber QB Michael Bishop, he of the improbably squeaky voice, promised to bring a big can of Whup Ass to tomorrow's rematch in Winnipeg (TSN 2 p.m.). If the Bombers do defeat the Riders, it probably won't be on the strength of Bishop's arm. Sure, he threw for over 300 yards in the Labour Day Classic, but he also tossed three interceptions. That's a pattern all too famliar to Rider fans who watched Bishop alternately shine and stink at the helm of the team last year. After rushing for over 300 yards against B.C. the game previous, the Bombers only managed 37 yards against the Riders' tenacious D. If the Riders stuff the running game again, and the offence under Darian Durant manages to move the ball consistently and avoid turnovers like they did last week, any ass that gets whupped won't be dressed in green (and white).
