SFL: The Saskatchewan Football League

OK, since I was a kid watching Ronnie Lancaster I've always considered the Roughriders to be my second favourite team. I even spent 10 years living in Saskatchewan. But I just can't take the massive crush that TSN and the CFL have on the Riders anymore.
Listening to TSN gush over the Riders, while they were losing to BC last week was ridiculous. At one point, when I thought BC was going to win, I started to wonder how TSN would justify the Riders still being placed ahead of BC in their "power rankings" despite the loss.
Then today the CFL announced that Cody Fajardo is the player of the week. Excuse me? He threw for 1 TD. Got credit for a rushing TD thanks to a bad call from the officials. The Riders don't win that game if not for a bad coaching decision, an even worse punt, and the previously mentioned non-touchdown touchdown. Fajardo put together a "game winning drive" from the BC 40-yard line, and for that he's the best player in the CFL last week?
