Friday thoughts

Here's what I'm thinking. There's probably no need to alert the Pulitzer Prize committee.

• Only one more week until the CFL pre-season opens with the Riders home to Edmonton. Let the games begin!
• I hope U of R Rams quarterback Marc Mueller is still in Edmonton's camp by then. What a thrill it would be for him to take a few snaps in a CFL game on his home turf.
• I wonder what kind of response Kerry Joseph will get when he goes into the game for the Eskies. Hopefully a warm one. He's still one of only three guys to quarterback the Riders to a Grey Cup win.
• It's not that I want the Dallas Mavericks to win the NBA crown so much; it's that I don't want the Miami Heat to win. Go Mavs! Go Dirk Nowitzki!
  
• Someone named Dirk hasn't captivated audiences to this extent since Mark Wahlberg's performance in Boogie Nights.
• It'll be very interesting to see how the Vancouver Canucks respond to the drubbing they took from Boston in games three and four of the Stanley Cup final.
  
• Have the Canucks hit the wall? Or was that just a speed bump on their path to a Cup title?
  
• Based on the way our squad has been playing, I suspect it'll be a short playoff run for the NRLL Major A Orioles. Must be the coaching!
• Baseball season will be over in a couple of weeks at the most, then it'll be time to focus on the big enchilada - another year of Regina Minor Football action! Can't you just feel the excitement?
• Mind you, I haven't officially been told I'll be coaching yet, so perhaps I'll hold off on getting Unicorns Football embroidered on all my golf shirts for the time being.
• Seriously, our team will be the Unicorns. Doesn't that just strike fear into the hearts of..........no one?
• More rain this weekend? What a surprise! Mother Nature, you really are one nasty b#$^h.
