I don't know what is more intense right now. The overpowering heat that is coming down on us as the mercury hits well into the 30's or the fury that the Saskatchewan Roughriders are facing. The 0-3 start has people all over the place up in arms. As supporters of the football club, that is fine, but there are some out there that need to simply pull back and relax.
I really laugh at those who are getting on the media. Do you really think Darian Durant is going to come out and say he can't get along with Doug Berry? Do you really think Doug Berry is going to say that he and Durant don't get along? Do you really think that Greg Marshall is going to say it was a mistake to hire Richie Hall or that Brendan Taman will say it was a mistake to hire Greg Marshall? If you do, you've spent a little too much time under the sun. This team is not going to say anything inflammatory to make the situation worse. They are going to stand together united until something is done and even then I doubt you'll hear anything. Just look at last season when special teams were an issue. Everyone knew it, but no player threw Jim Daley under the bus and no coach did either. At the end of the year, Daley was not retained, but at no time was he thrown under the bus. The situation is not a good one, but you will find no one at Mosaic Stadium who is going to pass along what it is like in that room. No one! Perhaps sometime down the road we will, but if you really think its going to happen now, you are sadly mistaken. The questions will be asked and the answers will be given. It will be up to you as to whether or not you want to believe those answers. As always, I'm sure if someone wants to show up and ask the questions that you think the LP, Global, CTV, CBC, CJME or CKRM aren't asking, then come on down.

I'm still not impressed with the Eskimos even though they are 3-0. I'm also not sold on Calgary even though they are 2-1. I still (and perhaps I've had too much sun) say the teams that will finish first and second in the West are the teams currently at 0-3.

I was in an east end establishment early Sunday evening. Two girls (in their early to mid 20's) were in line in front of me and one was telling the other how she woke up Sunday morning with her hair, shoulder and ear covered in barbecue sauce. I wanted to ask her how Craven went, but perhaps she didn't remember. Oh yeah, EWWWWWW!!

The WWE's Money in the Bank pay-per-view was one that actually got me caught up in the hype. I watched it Sunday night and it lived up to its expectation. It might have been better than Wrestlemania and it certainly leaves a lot of questions going into Monday Night RAW.

As I write this, the Red Sox and Tampa are in the 16th inning of a scoreless game. If this was hockey, people would be calling for a homerun contest to end the game if its still scoreless after 12 or starting the inning with a runner on 2nd. Thankfully, no one in baseball wants to continously change the game the way they do in hockey.

The New York Yankees complained that the Blue Jays were stealing signs from them this week and wondered if they do that at home quite a bit. Its obviously not working if something is up as Toronto has lost more games at home this year than they have won and it obviously didn't work the last two days as the Yankees beat the Jays.

Northern Ireland is without a doubt the number one golf country in the world. Darren Clarke, Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell have won three of the last six majors. You have to wonder when Dustin Johnson will finally break through and win one. The guy just has no luck in the final round of a major.

If you watched the Womens World Cup of Soccer and you liked it, I believe that event will be held in Canada the next time around. I'm guessing Saskatchewan won't be seeing any of the action and the reason for that is we have no facility with grass.

How many Pittsburgh Pirates fans are finally going to start coming out of the woodwork?

Global TV's Derek "Duke" Meyers and Rylee Carlson make a fantastic pairing on the weekend anchoring the news. Meyers did weather the other night....I'm guessing we won't be seeing a Meyers on news, Carlson on sports cast anytime soon...or will we?

Is Regina ready for an all-sports radio station? That's the poll question this week. Answer away!

Stay cool!

Well it worked, at least you mentioned the Durant/Berry thing and by the way that was a pretty good write-up.

Cena-Punk. Match of the year!
I think for an all-sports radio to survive you'd have to make it provincial.
and I know the cage is only 2 hours a day. Can 8 hours of local be filled? is 8 enough? would people listen when it's not local?
I say go 6-10 with Peter Lou at the helm.
2-6 with Rod.
and let Remple have a 15 minute rant from 6-615.
and you'd have to have a team associated with it as well.
A Saskatchewan WHL game of the week?
Just a few thoughts.
Pedersen and you are too gutless to ask the precious Riders a tough question. Try it sometime!
Is there more to your poll? Is this a sign that one might be coming? Count me in!!
I can just see taman coming out and saying they never should have hired Marshall. Its not going to happen. The questions are asked and the ansers are given. You can't fabricate a story so you go with what you have got. If you believe what they are saying, thats up to you.

The Rider brass threw Gary Etchevery under the bus why can't they terminate Doug Berry. He's fly in the ointment.
