Friday thoughts

Idle thoughts on day one of a four-day weekend:

• Gas prices went up on the Thursday before a long weekend. Quelle surprise!
• I really feel badly for Marcus Crandell. The guys playing receiver for the Riders these days should feel worse.
• Michael Bishop? Oh well, these same coaches (with one very noticeable exception!) made Kerry Joseph a star. Maybe lightning can strike twice.
• Anyone have any tips on motivating the softest offensive line in atom football? Outscored 24-0 in two games. Sheesh.
• Then again, maybe it's the lousy coaching, specifically the head coach.
• Riders by six over Winnipeg.
• Atom Cougars by 12 over Estevan.
• Do you think my kids are pumped to play on Taylor Field Monday?
• Did you catch the picture in the L-P of the Lululemon shoppers lined up outside the Brandt Centre? I'm sorry, some people should not be allowed to buy/wear that stuff.
• Why is it when you do your job well, others expect you to do theirs for them too?
• SportZone on Access 7 - new and improved, and coming to a tv near you soon!
• My deepest condolences and best wishes to Darrell and Eva Davis and their family. Darrell's a darn fine reporter, and even better husband and father.
