FRIDAY RUNDOWN: FLAME TECH FOOTBALL FRIDAY

January 21, 2022

Fridays are reserved for the gridiron and we tackled ALL the biggest football topics on Friday’s show live from the Grey Eagle Resort & Casino in Calgary, AB! Read on for the rundown:

  • RP and Moose Dupont kicked it off with the Warmup from the Event Centre covering these Quick Six show topics: 1) The Oilers got bombed 6-0 by Florida and Rod pointed the finger at Leon Draisaitl, 2) The Blue Bombers announce a new 1-year deal for QB Zach Collaros, 3) NFL Divisional Playoff Previews, 4) Dak Prescott is fined $25,000 for officials comments and Jerry Jones hasn’t committed to keeping Mike McCarthy, 5) The Riders’ Jay Dearborn will represent Canada at the Olympics in 4-man Bobsled, and 6) The Raptors are at Washington on Friday.
  • RP Show NFL Insider Tori Gurley joined the show to preview the weekend’s games for Bet Regal and they went through all the match-ups. He’s got the Titans, Bucs and Chiefs to win but feels the 49ers will give the Packers a run for their money. Tori’s also not a big fan of Mike McCarthy, having played for him in Green Bay.
  • Calgary Sun football writer Danny Austin joined the show in Hour 2 for Great Western Original 16 Beer for a wide-ranging CFL chat. He feels the Stampeders have come through a mini-rebuild and will contend for first place in the CFL West. He also cautioned Rider fans to be patient with QB Cody Fajardo, but said Cody’s in-season comments about his receivers turned a lot of people off. Regarding the Calgary sports facilities debate, Danny confessed it’s a very depressing situation.
  • The daily Capital Auto Mall/Universal Collision Centre poll question was: Which is the game of the weekend in the NFL? At press time, Bills/Chiefs was leading.
  • The Rockstar of the Day for RoxDar Supply Chain Solutions on Thursday was Sportsnet Flames host Ryan Leslie. Friday’s was Danny Austin by a landslide.
  • Be sure to join us if you can at Shark Club Deerfoot Meadows in Calgary on Sunday for our Division Playoff Watch Party! We’ll be on hand giving out prizes and on the mic for both NFL playoff games!
  • We’ll see you Monday live from Grey Eagle at 12 pm ET on Game+ TV, YouTube Live and RodPedersen.com/ListenLive.

With regards to the Edmonton Oilers. Take the obvious 2 out of the equation and possibly Zach Hyman. There is not a coach on planet earth that does more with less than Dave Tippett. He comes from that Hartford Whalers tree. Those guys just to compete needed to play 200 feet and that was the 1980s in a division with Montreal/Boston. From Ron Francis to Joel Quennville these guys know hockey so it is not coaching. Being nice doesnt work. The one guy that will squeeze out every drop is John Tortorella. Unfortunately his act wont play in a Canadian… Read more »
