Tidbits

Some of the 'Global Gang' hit the town Saturday night after the show. First, I hate power tripping doormen and second, standing in line. I suppose I'm just getting old. My entertainment at the bar wasn't paying attention to all the young girls sleazing it up or watching the pathetic boys (I used to be one) schmooze their best to attract said girls. No, it was watching the Roger Federer tennis match on the big screen. The Swiss player mounted a masterful comeback from down 2-0 to take the long match. I truly like watching this guy play. I know he's slipped a bit in the last year, but to me he has the Tiger Woods factor going on. If he's on I'm watching.

The NHL All-Star game went into a shootout. Ask the goalies, the whole game is a shootout. Boy I bet the Tenders have fun! I didn't watch 30 seconds of shinny from Montreal. I'm still angry that Datsyuk and Lidstrom are sitting tomorrow.

Speaking of sitting...Mitch Czibere and Colten Teubert got to watch yesterday's game from the Saddledome seats. I guess the Pats brass had seen enough of Teubert's lack-luster, uninspired play and decided to send him a message to get better. I must say, gutsy move by the team, but I respect their decision. The Blue & White are in a dogfight fr the playoffs and they need Teubert to play better and be the dominate first rounder that he can be. As for Czibere, he sassed off on Friday and was being punished. N'uff said.

Lecavalier to the Oilers? I'll comment when Vinny is in Oil Country.

Shout out to my boy Martin Weaver. I've been without 'Agent 04' the last couple of weekends, so it was great to get him back. Regina sports fans were treated to some fantastic local coverage this weekend on Global Sports and the 'Great Martinski' is a huge reason why! Thanks bud.
