SASKATOON -- It's a cold one this morning in the bridge city but don't worry there is sunny skies on the horizon. Guess what? It's supposed to get up towards zero by the weekend. Hang in there.For your enjoyment here are some notes I've collected over the past week, mostly from the fabulous world of Twitter.

The dust has settled in Texas and emerging as Super Bowl champions are the Green Bay Packers.
I wasn't extremely excited for this one as I didn't really care who won but I watched and I am of the belief that in order to watch a game of any kind you need to have a rooting interest.
Am I right? Can you actually watch a game (and be genuinely interested) without cheering for one team or another?
So, I took the Steelers, and for a while I thought they were gonna do it. It ended up being a pretty entertaining game. Brian Lee will enjoy this Packer victory for a while.

The half-time show left a little something to be desired. Yes it was refreshing to know the Black Eyed Peas were actually singing and there were a ton of lights and choreographed moves but that was about it.
It just left you asking yourself: was that it?

The Saskatchewan Huskies men's hockey team had a very successful weekend sweeping the UBC Thunderbirds. Alberta also put a sweep together against Regina setting up a massive weekend at Rutherford.
Alberta will be in town for a pair of games that will go a long way to determining who finishes first in Canada West. Look for a preview sometime later in the week leading up to the big series.

Congrats are in order for Mike Linklater and the Huskies men's basketball team for winning 2010 Kinsmen sport athlete and team of the year.

While I didn't have too much interest in who won the Super Bowl, I was watching the Canadian Jr. Curling championships with interest. Congrats to the Moskowy rink for winning the championship.
Skip Braeden made a great shot with the final stone in the 10th end to win by one. It was good TV.

Here are some quick notes from the week:
- Apparently, Ron Artest would play in the CFL. Check it out: http://natpo.st/fhW3fm
- A piece of advice from Wired 96.3 morning host Brandy:
@Bbbbbrandy: "Just cause you're not expecting company doesn't mean you shouldn't mow the lawn"
- Happy Birthday to Don Cherry (Feb. 5).
- Denis Kulyash one ups Zedeno Chara in the KHL skills competition by blasting a record breaking shot of 110.343 mph. WOW!
- Congrats to LaRonge Ice Wolves forward and former Klipper Travis Eggum for scoring his 50th goal of the season this past week. He becomes the first player to hit 50 since 2002/2003.
- How about former Rider QB Graham Harrell? He goes from practice roster to winning a super bowl as Packers 3rd string QB. Not a bad deal.
