Murray Wood: Of Easter bunny bells and Juicy Fruit gum
For Murray Wood, Easter brings to mind grandma's practical advice about repurposing, and some of life's little lessons.
Dear Bianca Andreescu:
Congratulations and thank you.
Sincerely,
Saskatchewan Roughriders
Andreescu’s victory in the US Open women’s tennis final was more than unprecedented. It could also serve as a much-appreciated distraction from the Roughriders’ worst performance of the CFL season.
While Andreescu fearlessly overcame some late-match struggles to knock off Serena Williams in straight sets, the Roughriders were lethargic and undisciplined in their 35-10 loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Banjo Bowl.
There’s lots to ponder about the Roughriders, mainly how their six-game losing streak ended so badly against a short-staffed opponent. The Roughriders couldn’t run or pass, missed numerous tackles and took too many penalties.
So while most Canadian sports fans are celebrating Andreescu’s inspiring victory, the Roughriders can discreetly retire to a back room and try to fix what went wrong.
