Yesterday was the annual 3-ring circus that is Superbowl media day. Much like City Councillors in Regina (according to Tom) the media does its best to get on TV this day with the wackiness that exists. Over 4,500 reporters from 20 Countries take in the annual gong-show that is less about journalism and more about grandstanding. The only thing I learned from it all is that Kurt Warner is close to God. That's good, because I'm not sure if the Cardinals have a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

I got the chance to speak with a couple of 5th year players from the Lady Cougars Volleyball team yesterday. I know I sound like a broken record and keep saying how wonderful our University athletes are, but it's true. If the record was broken, would it actually play? Shouldn't I sound like a scratched record? Anyways, Tammy Jule and Kelly Cowan both spoke of how the team has committed to defence to start winning games. This group of gals has spent the entire season in the top 10 in the Nation, not bad! They host the #3 Pandas from the U of A this weekend. Could be the best VB played here in awhile!

The Pats self destruct again? How can a team this loaded up with last year's top Eastern goalie, 1st rounders and solid role players be so consistently inconsistent. Although, they've been regularly bad for awhile now. The only 4 wins they've had since mid December, a comeback in Brandon, Edmonton and Moose Jaw twice.

The Columbus Blue Jackets won last night. They are tied with 4 teams at 51 points, the playoff cut line right now. No Lidstrom and no Datsyuk in the Red Wings lineup could mean that somebody misses the playoffs by a point because of Gary Bettman's idiotic decision. (Not his only one by the way)
-----
Oh yeah, speaking of Bettman. Who takes this guy seriously when he says the state of the League is good? My word his got some big brass ones to lie like that.

I'm living at the CKHS this weekend for Volleyball, Basketball and hopefully even a little wrestling. Of course, everything I see, you'll see on Global @ 6 & 11 this Saturday and Sunday.

When is two too many? When you're trailing 9-1 with a couple minutes to go, why bother with the second goal? I mean, its over. Take the puck behind your net and just keep it from the other team like they do in soccer. By the way, Man U, 11 straight clean sheets, wowsers!! I'll tell you when two is too many. Two losses on home ice of 7 or more goals! That is too many!!! Maybe the Oilers were watching Regina City Council the other night and just got excited about being on TV and forgot what they were actual there to do!
