Zamboni driver wins appeal of drunk driving charge

The last time I was in Abernethy the Tampons were usually responsible for clearing the ice with the Aber Domes golf cart with the water tank. These days I believe the Aber Dome actually has a graffitti upped Zamboni, Dallas are you drunk when you clean the ice with your fancy Zamboni ? If so you have nothing to worry about now, as long as judges up here feel the same way as those in New Jersey do.

A judge in Newark New Jersey has overturned the drunk driving conviction of a Zamboni driver who's blood alcohol level was 0.12, when the legal limit in New Jersey is 0.08. His decision was based on the fact that Zamboni's can't carry passengers and don't operate on highways.

In 2005 a fellow employee of the man reported him to police when he was speeding on the ice and apparently almost hit the boards.

The operator of the Zamboni claimed that he did drink beer and vodka, but not until after he cleaned the ice, but he did admit to having sambuca with his breakfast coffee and two valiums.

Gainer the Gopher appeared on Canada A.M.

Our beloved mascot Gainer, and minister of Recreation Glenn Hagel appeared on Canada A.M. this morning in regards to the ban of Gainer from McMahon Stadium in Calgary this weekend. You can watch the interview HERE.

Save Gainer Video by James Whittingham

funny video in honour of Gainer, created by James Whittingham of Regina Radio.

GainerGate

Gainer the Gopher has been banned from attending the upcoming playoff game between Saskatchewan, and Calgary in Calgary. I can understand why Stampeder brass would want to keep him out, he would rally the thousands of Saskatchewan fans attending the game and make it more difficult for the Stamps to concentrate and win. Gainer should still travel to Calgary and demonstrate outside the stadium though.

I looked up Gainer the Gopher on Wikipedia, and there was no entry, so I decided to start one. You can check it out here.
here is the Calgary Sun article about the ban of Gainer.

J.C. Watts, former M.V.P. of the Ottawa Rough Riders and former Republican Congressman on C.N.N. today

I'm not entirely sure why, but J.C. Watts who is a former M.V.P. for the Ottawa Rough Riders and former Republican Congressman was being interviewed on C.N.N.
kind of neat seeing a former C.F.L.er on C.N.N. I did once get driven around Honalulu by a former Saskatchewan Roughrider on a city transit bus. If I can figure out his name I'll let you know.

Saskatchewan Roughrider Rap

Rider fans want answers

my dad got a hold of Jim Hopson, the President and CEO of the rider organization this afternoon (don't ask how he got a hold of him, i don't know) to find out if any more advanced tickets would be made available to season ticket holders. he was told that they are putting the pressure on ticket master or the promoter or whoever dictates how many tickets are sold in advance to make more available. all season ticket holders, action pack holders, and share holders were told that they would be able to purchase up to 8 tickets each if they so chose. it seems that promise was broken because after the advanced sales to fan club members yesterday there were only 300 tickets left for rider fans today. hopefully the riders pull it off because we just want some 'satisfaction'.

UPDATE
I found a copy of the letter sent out to season ticket holders telling them about the opportunity to purchase tickets to the rolling stones concert. here it is.


Dear Rider Fan,
The Saskatchewan Roughriders very much value your support of the team and to demonstrate our appreciation and commitment to our fans, we are giving you exclusive access to the concert of the century!
As a Rider Shareholder, Season Ticket holder, or Action Pack holder, you can purchase up to 8 Gold Circle tickets to the October 8th Rolling Stones concert presented by SaskTel at Mosaic Stadium before the general public!
This limited time offer is available from Thursday, July 27 at 10 am through Friday, July 28 at 5 pm only. Tickets to this concert will go on sale to the general public on Monday, July 31. Tickets must be purchased online at Ticketmaster.ca. When prompted for your password at Ticketmaster.ca, please use your account number which is located in the top left corner of this letter.
Please note that this special offer is for up to eight Gold Circle tickets per account holder and not per the number of season tickets, action packs, or Rider Shares under your name.
For example: Having two season tickets and a Rider Share in your name will entitle you to purchase eight Rolling Stones tickets and not 24.
Thank you again for your continued support and enjoy the Rolling Stones concert at Mosaic Stadium!

Sincerely,
Jim Hopson,
C.E.O.
Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club

You can't always get what you want---DAMNIT

the advance tickets for the upcoming stones concert in Regina sold out in less than an hour. the website to buy tickets on seemed completely inaccessable and the phone line was apparently of no help either. after the advance sales yesterday to american express card holders and fan club member there were apparently only 300 tickets left for rider season ticket holders, and share holders. hopefully they open up more tickets.
