Our dragonboat team finished 37th out of about 100 teams in this weekend's GWN Draogonboat Challenge held at Marilyn Bell Park on Toronto's western waterfront. Our first race Saturday morning scuttled us as we had a poor lane and a very poor race overall. We did win the D division championship on Sunday afternoon with a time which was better than some of the C division teams so we did end on a high note. Dropping from 18th last year to 37th this year is dissapointing but the filed was stronger and our performance was not as good. So it goes. Great excercise all season regardless of results.
I was checking the score at RWS from time to time and the Bills were down 3 then 7 then 10 points so it seemed like a close defensive battle until I read the post game reports in the evening after the beer tent festivites at Marilyn Bell Park. Apparently, Trent Edwards was about as bad as he has ever been after a somewhat promising pre-season. The defence was not too bad overall, giving up only 13 points. I had thought that the Bills would have difficulty stopping the run but would score points with a strong running game, improved quarterback play and an offensive specialist head coach. This could still become the pattern.
Heading in to the not quite frozen tundra of Lambeau Field next week to face Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, I can not help wondering how I am going to find anyone to go see the Jaguars, Lions or Browns later in the season if the losses keep piling up as they surely will.
