Regina, SK - Trying to avoid their first four-game losing streak of the 2014 season, the Saskatchewan Roughriders settle in at Mosaic Stadium on Sunday afternoon versus visiting Edmonton. Kerry Joseph, who came out of retirement earlier this month, will get the start at quarterback for the struggling Roughriders. The 41-year-old won a Grey Cup with Saskatchewan back in the 2007 season. You can watch the action live starting at 4pm et/1pm pt on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4 and TSN5. Winners of seven straight and eight of the first 10 games on the schedule, the Riders appeared to be well on their way to challenging for the West Division title with the Calgary Stampeders. However, in recent weeks the charge by Saskatchewan has lost steam and now the squad finds itself sitting in third place in the standings behind both the Stamps and these same Eskimos. Like Edmonton, the Riders have already secured a spot in the postseason, but there is still opportunity to cause a shift or two in the final pecking order. Unfortunately, Saskatchewan has picked the wrong time to hit the skids, losing three in a row and four of the last five after being pummeled by a resurgent Montreal squad on Thanksgiving Day, 40-9. The Riders actually scored the first points of the day on Monday on an 11-yard TD pass from Tino Sunseri to Anthony Allen, but after that the offense was never heard from again. In fact, the only other points came courtesy of Montreal punter Sean Whyte who conceded in the end zone in the fourth quarter. Sunseri finished the lackluster effort 7-of-12 for 72 yards, was intercepted once and sacked three times. Also seeing time under center for the visitors was Seth Doege who connected on half of his six attempts for another 37 yards, but he too suffered a pick and was sacked twice. Allen did manage to run for a game-high 105 yards on 21 carries, but that was only due to the fact that the so-called passing attack for the Roughriders was nowhere to be found. As for the Eskimos, they too played on Monday and were involved in a lopsided decision, but in their case it was a very favorable blowout as they crushed visiting Winnipeg, 41-9. Edmonton found itself ahead 40-0 before it was ever really challenged by the Blue Bombers, an opponent that had to settle for three field goals in the second half. Mike Reilly was the star of the game for the hosts as he connected on 19-of-31 passing for 197 yards and added another 26 yards and two majors on the ground. Backup quarterback Pat White ran the ball four times and finished with a score of his own. Although he was kept out of the end zone, receiver Adarius Bowman continued his assault on opposing defenses as he caught 10 balls for a game-high 94 yards. Despite the fact that he has just six TDs, placing him in a tie for second in the league in that department, Bowman has simply been abusing defenders with his 101 catches for 1,241 yards. Bowman now has at least 40 more catches than anyone else in the league, and his yardage total distances him by more than 350 yards from his closest competition. While Bowman leads the way in his particular category, the same can be said for Allen coming out of the backfield for the Roughriders. One of only six players with at least 100 carries to this point, Allen checks in with 849 yards and five TDs on 156 attempts, but Calgarys Jon Cornish continues to close the gap. With respect to the all-time, regular-season series between the clubs, Edmonton owns a 116-90-2 edge over the Riders, dating back as far as 1938. Just a few weeks ago, the Eskimos completely stumped Saskatchewan in a 24-0 final, giving Edmonton a fourth win in seven tries in the series. Saskatchewan sent both Seth Doege and Sunseri into the huddle to try and get something started for the visitors, but it simply was not meant to be as the duo combined to hit just 11-of-23 passes for 114 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Under constant pressure, Sunseri was sacked four times and Doege twice. The Riders were limited to a mere 205 yards of offense on 60 snaps. Edmonton went with Reilly at quarterback in that game, the signal caller converting 14-of-25 passes for 124 yards and a score. Clearly the star of the game for the Esks was running back John White who ran for a staggering 192 yards and a major on just 17 attempts, not to mention adding a touchdown reception as well. These two teams will be back in action against each other in the final game of the regular season on Nov. 8 right back here in Regina. Yeezy 700 Waverunner Kopen . Reimer told TSNs Mark Masters on Tuesday that he doesnt know if he will be moved leading up to the March 5 trade deadline but added he wasnt interested in discussing it. "Who knows whats going to happen on the horizon here and right now I dont know if I want to talk about it too much.

The Miami Heat guard later described it in a single word. "Hell," Wade said. It was also worth it, after he scored 23 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and hoisted his third Larry OBrien Trophy. Now, unlike last year, Wade is not dealing with any injuries heading into the Miamis finals rematch against the San Antonio Spurs. At 32 years old and with 866 NBA games already on his playing odometer, Wade still deals with plenty of aches and pains, good days and bad days, and basically has a standing appointment in the Heat training room. But compared to last seasons NBA Finals, his knees are good as new. "Hes a big-time, huge piece to our puzzle," four-time NBA MVP and Heat star LeBron James said. "To have him out there in the groove that hes in right now, its going to help us." The Heat are looking to win their third straight title and Wade is on the cusp of joining a list of all-time NBA greats. There are just seven players with four championships and at least one NBA Finals MVP award on their resumes: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, John Havlicek, Magic Johnson, Shaquille ONeal, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan and the Spurs Tim Duncan. Wade could be the eighth person in that club. "We just want to continue to add to what were accomplishing," Wade said. Almost forgotten amid all the memories of Wade limping about during last years playoffs — he whacked what was his "good" knee at this time last year, the surgically repaired left one, in a collision with the Spurs Manu Ginobili during Game 6 of the finals — is he had big games when Miami needed him. Through his first 14 games of the 2013 playoffs, Wade was averaging 13.6 points. In the final eight games of that post-season run, starting with Game 7 against Indiana, he averaged 19.8 points. And in the last four games of the finals, he averaged 23.5 points against the Spurs to close the series. As his knees got worse, Wade seemed to gget better.dddddddddddd "He still found a way last year," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "He really did. He had some of his biggest games not only in the finals, but Game 7, we didnt think necessarily he was going to even play that game in the Eastern Conference finals." This year, the Heat tried to leave nothing to chance with Wades health. The so-called maintenance plan for Wade — limiting his minutes to save his knees — kicked in on the second night of the regular season. He wound up missing 28 games in all, mostly because of that rest-and-rehab scheme, to ensure that he would be good to go in the playoffs. The results cant be argued. Wade is averaging 18.7 points on 52 per cent shooting, Miami is 12-3 in the playoffs and when getting more than three days rest — like the Heat will have before Game 1 in San Antonio on Thursday night — the perennial All-Star has had games of 23, 14, 27 and 23 points on a combined 60 per cent shooting. "Dwyane is playing great," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Tuesday. "He looks a lot more spry and ready to go then he did last year in the finals." Maybe the biggest payoff of the regular-season maintenance plan has been how Wade has closed games in this post-season. Wade is shooting 56 per cent in fourth quarters during the playoffs, the best clip of his career and the best percentage of any guard with more than 30 shots in the final period of post-season games this season. San Antonios Danny Green is second on that list, shooting just under 49 per cent. Wade doesnt like talking about his place in history. But he knows what rarefied air he would be entering with a fourth title run. "I think weve all put ourselves in great situations, and were just going to continue to try to enjoy this moment that were in because its an amazing moment," Wade said. "Its something that, for a lifetime, is going to fulfil us as athletes. Even when we cant play this game, were going to always be able to talk about this." And now, when talking about his health, Wade has another one-word answer: "Better." ' ' '
