MONDAY COMMENTARY – GET THE MESSAGE

(Listen daily for the Rod Pedersen Commentary on Cat Country 98 FM & Rock 98.5 FM)

YOU’D ALMOST THINK WE’RE BACK TO NORMAL.

FOR SOME SPORTS FANS, LIFE HASN’T CHANGED MUCH AT ALL. IF YOU SAT ON YOUR COUCH AND WATCHED SPORTS ALL WEEKEND – ORDERING TAKEOUT PIZZA AND STUFFING YOUR FACE WITH NACHOS – YOU’D HAVE TO ASK WHAT’S CHANGED?

AND IT WAS A WILD WEEKEND IN BIG TIME SPORTS. WEEK 6 IN THE NFL PROVIDED SOME AWESOME GAMES AND OUTCOMES, AND MY DALLAS COWBOYS HAVE NOW WON FIVE GAMES IN A ROW. SUNDAY’S OT WIN AT NEW ENGLAND WAS A STATEMENT GAME.

SATURDAY NIGHT’S BATTLE OF ALBERTA IN THE NHL WAS WILD AND LIVED UP TO THE HYPE (UNLESS YOU’RE A FLAMES FAN).

THE CFL GAMES WERE FUN TO WATCH, IT WAS FUN TO GET INTO THE BRANDT CENTRE TO WATCH THE PATS AND CONNOR BEDARD, AND THE RAMS AND THUNDER BOTH WENT TO OVERTIME WITH THE RAMS LOSING AND THE THUNDER WINNING.

I HAVEN’T MENTIONED BASEBALL BECAUSE, FRANKLY, IT SIMPLY HASN’T BEEN ON MY RADAR. I HAD TO MIX SOME LAKE TIME IN THIS WEEKEND AND THEN THIS WEEK I’LL BE TRAVELING AGAIN, THIS TIME TO CALGARY AND SASKATOON FOR SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS AND LIVE SHOWS.

AND THAT’S WHERE LIFE GETS REAL AGAIN, BUT IT COULD BE WORSE.

I’LL BE ASKED TO SHOW PROOF OF VACCINATION AT THE AIRPORT AND IN RESTAURANTS, JUST LIKE YOU WERE IF YOU ATTENDED THESE SPORTING EVENTS OVER THE WEEKEND.

BUT IF YOU STAYED HOME ALL WEEKEND ON THE COUCH AND WATCHED THE BOOB TUBE, IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER IF YOU’RE VACCINATED OR NOT.

 

THERE’S A MESSAGE IN THERE SOMEWHERE; I’M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS.

THERE’S A MESSAGE IN THERE SOMEWHERE; I’M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS I figured it out: There will always be two types of people in this world. Those who suck the marrow out of life, and those who passively sit on the sidelines of life waiting for it to start for them. The subset of these two people are those who know it is on them and only them to get up in the morning and make it happen. The other subset are the sheople who wait to be told when, where, how, and what to do.… Read more »
