Monday musings

A random collection of thoughts, guaranteed to stimulate the senses and titillate the masses:

• Rod Pedersen's new daily sports talk show debuts this afternoon on 620 CKRM. Good luck with the new adventure, Rod!
• Interesting that there's no announcement on CKRM's own website, but those folks have always been a little "challenged" when it comes to self-promotion.
• Rod's foray into sports talk radio also means the end of his tenure as the play-by-play voice of the Regina Pats. I imagine there will be one or two applicants for that gig!
• Regina sports fans can now listen to sports talk radio shows from 4-9 pm every night (Monday to Friday). CKRM's new show is on from 4-6 pm, followed by Rawlco's show from 6-8 pm. And CJME also carries the syndicated Prime Time Sports show out of Toronto from 8-9 pm.
• And of course there's the world-renowned (granted, it's a small world) SportZone television sports talk program on Access channel 7 every week. Let's not forget about that!
• POP! Was that the sound of the Montreal Canadians' (and Jaroslav Halak's) bubble bursting?
• Wanna bet both NHL conference finals are over in fewer than six games?
• The Boston Celtics may still have some life left in those old legs after all! Go green!
• Speaking of green-clad teams, the Riders' first exhibition game is now only 27 sleeps away.
• Winter is over for another year, which is good. However, yardwork has started - which is . . . less good.
• I'm officially past the halfway point in the Running Room's Learn to Run program, and am still alive. Who woulda thunk it?
