Kerry Joseph looks like a guy having fun again.

Running for 118 yards, passing for 343 and leading a team on a game- winning 109-yard touchdown drive in the dying minutes of a game tend to do that to a guy. So does being named the Canadian Football League's player of the week, as the Toronto Argonauts quarterback was yesterday.

And Joseph is looking forward to having fun again Sunday when he returns to Saskatchewan, where he led the Roughriders to the Grey Cup last fall before an economy move landed him in Toronto.

While some might talk of vengeance or of proving a point to 'Rider management, Joseph spoke about how much fun it's going to be in Regina.

"I built a lot of good relationships with a lot of guys on that team and I'm still close with a lot of guys. To go out there and play against those guys is going to be fun."

Surely, in the back of his mind at least, there's a desire to stick it to 'Rider management for denying him a raise and shipping him out.

"I'm not going to put that much into it," he said. "It's a business we're in."

Joseph says his biggest challenge will be adapting to how the 4-0 'Riders will adapt to him. After all, he doesn't have many moves they haven't seen a few times.

"I know they're going to try to keep me from running the football. That's one thing their defence can do."
