Monday musings

Time to start the week with a clear cranial slate! So, here goes:

• The Edmonton Eskimos are bad, and getting worse. The Riders visit Edmonton next week. This could be fun.
• It's time to call a spade a spade. The Riders goofed by getting rid of quarterback Drew Tate. He provides Calgary with a very solid back-up to smiling Hank.
• I guess the Toronto Argos are for real. The question is: does anyone in Toronto care?
• The atom Cougars opened the Regina Minor Football season with an 18-8 victory over Weyburn. The J-man was a solid contributor on offense from the fullback position.
• Next up, we take on a very tough (unlike their CFL namesakes) Eskimos squad this weekend.
• After watching some of the final round of the PGA championship, I can conclude that football has far better looking sideline reporters than golf.
• It's the middle of August, and I have yet to play tennis at the club I belong to this summer. Something is not right with that picture!
• Access Communications will have a local sports program in the new broadcast season and yours truly will be involved. However, SportZone is dead. Further details to come.
• I'm afraid to go visit my friend Kelly in Moose Jaw now. He has a new big screen LED tv. Of course I'm going to want one after I watch sports on his.
• Dexter the dog looks like he lost half his body weight during his latest visit to the groomer. He's looking lean and mean. Great job Kendra!
• Who knew Platinum Blonde song lyrics could cause such controversy in the blogosphere? Perhaps next week I'll quote Glass Tiger or something...
