Calm before the storm

Now I know it has been almost a week since i've written in this blog, and i know that if i don't get something up my not as loyal viewers will go to some other blog with greater insight and more content (which may not be hard to find) but please bear with me....

We come upon one of the quietest weeks in sports Out of the 52 weeks this year, these 7 days in particular hold about as much intrigue as that fat gag inducing girl you sat beside in grade 4 math class, it's like the blank parker brothers card that comes out of a standard 52 card deck, a card that doesn't particularly do much for the game...and for sports this week plays the same role

k ENOUGH you all scream at me, ENOUGH with all the witty (or perhaps lame) analogies....but im sorry guys...fact is....i'm bored....somehow, when the biggest story of the week in sports is a half-hearted, good natured shot at hockey made by tiger woods that gets immediately blown out of proportion, it doesn't do much for those wanting to read a good blog entry. I find it hard to picture blog nerds rushing home to hear the result of Sergio Garcia and Justin Leonard's tee off at the U.S. Open...and good thing they don't...because i won't have it on here.

I aim to please you in the following areas....football and hockey, with a little of the other stuff in between. Sorry basketball fans, the NBA playoffs and regular season will not be a priority as I have never and probably will never have a vast enough knowledge of the game to write on it.

The University of Saskatchewan Huskies football and hockey teams will get extensive coverage. Fresh off 4 heartbreaking Vanier Cup losses in 6 years, the gridiron heroes are in the running for another appearance in the big dance and every snap will be closely analyzed. The hockey huskies, complete with their state of the art 91 year old rink, will get the press because no one else gives them press...The Star Phoenix has unwisely decided to not follow Saskatoon's best kept secret and instead follow the Blades who have in recent and not so recent years been nothing of importance. The Edmonton Oilers will also get significant attention on here as they go for their first playoff spot since the cinderlla run of 2006. And most of all...my beloved Saskatchewan Roughriders as they defend their title as Grey Cup Champions.


If you have any suggestions as to what you want me to write about if none of these does it for you, email me at mmaasseeyy@hotmail.com
