My days of writing for the Cardinal Courier are over, but that doesn't mean the end of riding the pine. The Summer editions will start up soon, and they'll have a different feel from my past columns.
This includes the addition of more non-sports related topics to riff on, namely reviews of different books(Chuck Palahniuk's new one is a good read and of course the Harry Potter finale), movies (Knocked Up is already in the upper echelon of great comedies) and music (new discs from the White Stripes, Arctic Monkeys and Wilco in a matter of months is a great thing). I may even include my post graduation synopsis entitled, "Have A Good Life."
As for the sports side, there's still plenty to cover including summer baseball and a watch on all my favorite squads (Yanks, Bills and of course the pivotal off-season for the Sabres).
In conclusion, there's plenty of room left on the bench, and die hard benchwarmers (aka the Riding the Pine fan club) may even be rewarded with the long awaited announcement of this column's official mascot...
