REGINA -- The Grey Cup-champion Saskatchewan Roughriders released all-star slotback Weston Dressler on Thursday. The move wasnt a surprise. Dressler, 28, was scheduled to become a free agent Feb. 15 and was exploring his NFL options. Dave Naylor of TSN Radio 1050 confirms Dressler has agreed to join the Kansas City Chiefs, the team he worked out with earlier this month, pending a physical. Riders assistant GM Jeremy ODay said that could happen very soon. "Weston and his agent were very up front they were going to go through the process and we were made aware of a possible situation coming up in the next couple of days where Weston was more than likely going to get an opportunity," ODay told reporters. "From our standpoint its tough to lose such a good player thats been here for a long time, is a leader in the locker-room. "But again, youve got to feel happy for him that he gets that opportunity. He hasnt gone through the process of being in the NFL and as any competitor you just want to see how you compare with the best available players. We wish him the best." The five-foot-eight, 179-pound native of Bismarck, N.D., has spent the past six seasons in Regina, having registered 442 catches for 6,531 yards and 43 TDs. He has surpassed the 1,000-yard receiving plateau five times in his career, including the last four years. Dressler had five catches for a game-high 81 yards and a touchdown in Saskatchewans 45-23 Grey Cup victory over Hamilton. Dressler is a two-time CFL all-star and was the leagues top rookie in 08. "For the team obviously its not great news," ODay said. "But its our job to find good players and hopefully well be able to replace him." Rocky Colavito Jersey .

In this space, I will be writing new and unique pieces about the team that you wont be able to find anywhere else. So naturally, in an attempt to come up with a fresh topic about the Ottawa Senators, I am going to start with a piece about their goaltending.NEW ORLEANS - Tyreke Evans wasnt about to let his recent shooting slump limit his aggression. Certainly not with the reeling New York Knicks in town.Evans scored 27 points, Anthony Davis added 18, and the New Orleans Pelicans dropped the Knicks to their ninth straight loss, 104-93 on Tuesday night.I knew it was going to come, said Evans, who shot 33 per cent during his previous three games, but made 11 of 15 shots against New York. A few games (were) sluggish, but I felt good tonight just attacking the basket, staying with it and staying aggressive.Omer Asik had 16 points and 14 rebounds, and Jrue Holiday scored 13 points for New Orleans (10-10), which won its second straight to pull back to .500.Amare Stoudemire scored a season-high 26 points and blocked five shots. Carmelo Anthony had 17 points for New York, which kept the game close into the fourth quarter before fading down the stretch, as the Knicks have done often this season.We battled. I keep saying that but we did battle tonight, Stoudemire said. We let that game slip away. We had a chance to win. We should have won the game. It seems to be a broken record after every game, but weve just got to be mindful of wanting to win and playing to win. We cant play not to lose.Pablo Prigioni scored 17 for the Knicks, who fell to 4-19 with what was also their 10th straight road loss.No team has more losses than the Knicks. Only Detroit has as many. There were even some fans in Knicks jerseys wearing brown paper grocery bags over their heads, as fans of the Aints once did in the Superdome next door when the Saints were at their worst.I could never imagine that coming into this season, Anthony said. Its hard to believe it at this point.Anthony attempted only 11 shots, fewer than usual, but said he could not take more with the Pelicans routinely throwing double- and even triple-teams at him.Evans scored eight points in the last 3:05 to keep the Knicks at bay. He began his decisive surge with a layup to finish off a fast break that began when Davis swatted away J.R. Smiths driving shot in the paint.That was the last of thhree crowd-pleasing blocks for Davis, who also cleanly disrupted Samuel Dalemberts dunk attempt from behind the Knicks reserve centre.ddddddddddddWe just know we wanted to get this win and get back to .500, Davis said. It kind of was a must-win for us, but at the same time we just stuck with our principles and tried to play hard.New York was as close as 77-73 after Smiths 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter. Then New Orleans scored the first six points of the fourth quarter on Holidays three-point play as he was fouled on a drive by Stoudemire, and Austin Rivers 3-pointer.The Pelicans shot 50 per cent (40 of 80) and dominated the interior, handily outrebounding New York, 43-30, and outscoring the Knicks 54-40 in the paint.You just shake your head at that, Anthony said. That was the game right there, points in the paint.New York attempted only 13 free throws and made 10, while the Pelicans were 20 of 26 on free throws.TIP-INSKnicks: New York had won its previous five games in New Orleans. ...

Some days are better than others, Anthony said. At this point its just a matter of sitting down with the training staff and coaches and seeing whats best for everybody. ...
