THURSDAY CAT COUNTRY COMMENTARY

(Listen for the Rod Pedersen Commentary daily at 9:50 AM and 5:20 PM on Cat Country 98 FM)

IT’S BECOMING A SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST IN SPORTS.

THE VIEW FROM MY CHAIR HAS BEEN WILDLY ENTERTAINING THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS, WATCHING THE VARIOUS LEAGUES JOCKEY TO GET BACK ON THE FIELD, IN THE RING, BACK ON THE COURT, ICE OR DIAMOND.

FOR A DAY LETS SET ASIDE THE CRISIS CURRENTLY FACING THE CFL. WE’LL HAVE PLENTY MORE TO DISCUSS ON THEM IN THE WEEKS AHEAD.

LET’S LOOK AT THE OTHER SPORTS. UFC PRESIDENT DANA WHITE VOWED TO GET HIS FIGHTERS BACK INTO THE CAGE COME HELL OR HIGH WATER AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE’S DONE. THE UFC’S HELD TWO EVENTS IN FLORIDA THE PAST FIVE DAYS AND SATURDAY’S UFC-249 WAS THE MOST BET-ON EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE SPORT. ITS PAY-PER-VIEW BUYS TOTALLED ROUGHLY 59-MILLION DOLLARS.

IF YOU LOOK UP THE PHRASE “IF THERE’S A WILL, THERE’S A WAY” IN THE DICTIONARY, THERE’S A PHOTO OF DANA WHITE BESIDE IT.

AND SPORTS LEAGUES ARE GOING TO FIND OUT SOON THAT FANS ARE A FICKLE BUNCH. THEY’LL TURN THEIR ATTENTION TO WHOMEVER’S PLAYING FIRST. CBC ANNOUNCED WEDNESDAY THEY’LL BE CARRYING THIS WEEKEND’S SOUTH KOREA LPGA EVENT, AND YOU CAN BET PEOPLE WILL BE TUNING IN IN DROVES.

GAMBLERS CAN WAGE BETS NOW ON THE KOREAN PRO BASEBALL LEAGUE AND I’LL ADMIT I’M FOLLOWING IT TOO. SADLY MY FAVOURITE TEAM THE WYVERNS IS IN LAST PLACE AT 1-6.

THE SASKATCHEWAN MENS CURLING SCENE IS JUST HEATING UP WITH PLAYERS SWITCHING TEAMS BETWEEN TEAM DUNSTONE, TEAM FLASCH AND THE DISSOLUTION OF TEAM MUYRES. THEY’RE SCHEMING A WAY TO GET BACK ON THE ICE IN THE FALL – OBSERVING PROPER SOCIAL DISTANCING OF COURSE.

IT’S A RACE TO FIGURE IT OUT FIRST. AND TO THE VICTOR GOES THE SPOILS.

THAT’S TODAY’S ROD PEDERSEN COMMENTARY ON CAT COUNTRY 98.

In true essence curling is not a sport. If deemed so, then checkers, monopoly, tiddly winks etc etc should be classified as a sports game. Wonder which other games should be classified a sport?
