REGINA -- The defending Grey Cup champions have lost their star quarterback for the rest of the regular season and his status for the CFL playoffs is also in
question.
Babe Herman Dodgers Jersey . Saskatchewans Darian Durant is expected to miss the rest of the Roughriders season with a torn
tendon in his right elbow. The 32-year-old, who will undergo surgery in the next
couple days to repair the injury, was added to the teams six-game injury list
Tuesday. "Realistically his regular season is probably done," said general
manager Brendan Taman. "Whether or not we can get him back for the playoffs,
well see. Its not the greatest of outlooks." Durant suffered the injury during
the third quarter of Sundays 30-24 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He
was attempting a pass when he was hit by Winnipeg defensive end Bryant Turner.
Durants throwing arm was bent awkwardly on the play. The star quarterback
dropped to the turf in considerable pain before he was helped to the
locker-room. He did not return to the game. Taman said he doesnt believe the
injury to be career-threatening. "We expect him back next year for sure," he
said. The injury is a huge blow to the defending Grey Cup champions, who are
8-and-2 and second in the West Division with eight games left in the
regular-season. Backup quarterback Tino Sunseri now moves into the starting job.
"Hes our starting quarterback so its a blow, no doubt," Taman said of Durant.
"We have a lot of faith in Tino." Sunseri relieved the injured Durant and helped
the Riders hang on for Sundays win, the teams seventh straight. Taman said he
expects Seth Doege to move up on the depth chart and that the Riders are
targeting former Washington Huskies pivot Keith Price, who was released by the
Seahawks in June. When asked if the team would be targeting a CFL veteran, Taman
said the pickings were slim. "Weve had that thought, that list isnt very long,"
he said. Sunseri has seen limited playing time this season as a reserve. He
filled in for Durant when the starter was knocked out of an Aug. 24 game versus
the B.C. Lions with a right hand injury. "Hes very sharp," said Taman. "Hes
always thinking about football. He comes from a football family. Hes very
confident, which you need in a quarterback." "When we get Darian involved with
it too theyll be fine mentally," he added. Durant tweeted Tuesday that he knows
Sunseri will "get the job done." "I assure u I will be 100% ready for the 2015
season," Durant tweeted. "I will be right by Tinos side as we continue our
journey to the 2014 Grey Cup." Sunseri, in his second year with the Riders, is
13-for-25 passing this season for 152 yards and one touchdown. Durant has
completed 128 of 228 pass attempts this season, for 1,792 yards and eight
touchdowns. Taman said Durant has dealt with the news like a pro. "He took it
pretty well," he said. "He just wants to get it over with and move on."

the second period with a left knee injury.
Chase Utley Jersey . Wiggins, who had been seen as a contender for a podium finish in Paris, was one of about 20 riders
caught near the back of the peloton with 38 kilometres to go in the 218-km flat
stage from Le Mans to Chateauroux.At first, the series looked like it was going
to end in quickly, which was how everyone expected it to end. But the Leafs
clawed back. After being down 3-1 in the series, they fought their way into a
Game 7, mainly due to the play of their goalie James Reimer: The Leafs came out
hard in Game 7, but then… IT HAPPENED. After having a 4-1 lead with 10 minutes
left in the game, the Bruins would come back and eventually win the game in
overtime. Here are the highlights from that historic game (come on Leaf fans,
you can watch, its been a year): Ridiculous. The city of Toronto was in shock.

Bergeron puts in the overtimee winner: It was a devastating blow to Leaf nation.
Mike Piazza Dodgers Jersey. Comedy star Will Ferrell even expressed his emotions on the Leafs loss (sort of): And
unfortunately this loss still lingers with Leaf Nation as the team still hasnt
recovered form what happened last spring. Management potentially overreacted to
the Game 7 loss as they made roster moves in the summer which seem to have hurt
the team more than provide help so far. That one game has created so much damage
to everyone involved. That hockey game will haunt me until the day I die... —

something leaf fans will remember for a long long time.
