Need I say more?!
Riders (6-2) VS Bombers (5-2-1) today at 2 PM.
The stadium will be a mad house, the fans will be revved up, new jerseys are being unveiled, Corey Holmes is back where he belongs, and the weather is supposed to be perfect.
And I have a ticket.
Now that is a gift of a day!
PS: And WHAT A GAME too! Wow…
After making one of the biggest trades in NBA history by acquring Kevin Garnett, the Boston Celtics had a roster of three all-stars with few to no solid role players. That was addressed this week as Eddie House and Scott Pollard were added. Here’s what I love about Pollard, who averaged 1 point and 1.3 rebounds a game last year… these are his words from his press conference…
“Getting Kevin Garnett has been kind of a big deal. But now that us two are here, you really have a chance,” Pollard joked on Thursday at news conference. “I’m excited to be the cornerstone of this team.”
Classic!
Specifically, THAT horse.
Before bed, it must be said…
Oh yeah!
49-8… a good ‘ole whooping! I enjoyed every piece of that game… a thorough pleasure.
I bumped into my friend Justin (husband to Jen, father to Caden, and regularly featured HERE) outside the stadium before the game. He was raised in Calgary and indoctrinated by the Stampeder cult (poor bloke). He wasn’t decked in red (because he knows what’s good for him). I sent him on his way with wishes that he’d have a miserable game experience.
If anyone cares to donate towards his counseling, I think that would be a kind gesture. A guy can’t just witness a slaughtering like that and ever be the same. Let’s do our best to look after this poor, pitiful friend…
Because deep down, he IS a good guy.
The Phoenix Group are entrusted with the annual marketing campaigns of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Go HERE to view their latest offering. I love the garden gnome part!
Now GET to the game!
Okay, so it might be the not-so-well-known game, but as if this isn’t an impressive rally!
And one more…
