FOOTBALL FRIDAY RUNDOWN: LAPO & BARKER!

Fridays are reserved for the gridiron on the RP Show and we got you set for the biggest football weekend of the year with Episode #1,077 of The RP Show – Daytime Sportstalk – on Game+TV, WQEE Radio, Podcast and YouTube Live! Here’s the rundown:

• RP and Moose Dupont kicked things off with The Warmup covering these Quick Six show topics: 1) The Detroit Lions upset the Chiefs 21-20 in Kansas City in the NFL kickoff game, 2) Hamilton visits Ottawa Friday night to kickoff Week 14 in the CFL (the RedBlacks are favoured by 4 at Bet Regal), 3) Other Week 14 games – Montreal at Toronto, the Banjo Bowl and Calgary at Edmonton, 4) The biggest games of Week 1 in the NFL, 5) Chris Chelios will have his #7 retired by the Chicago Blackhawks, and 6) The Blue Jays are home to Kansas City on Friday night.
• CFL On TSN panelist Jim Barker joined the show for his weekly visit presented by EMJ Marketing. Jim broke down Detroit’s win on Thursday Night Football, said Riders D-lineman Pete Robertson deserved to be suspended however he feels he didn’t know exactly who he was headbutting, and previewed all Week 14 games. Jim also feels Jake Dolegala is the perfect QB for Rider Offensive Coordinator Kelly Jeffrey’s system.
• The daily Key Auto Group poll question was: Are the Kansas City Chiefs in trouble? At press time over 80% of respondents said no.
• Off the top of Hour 2 we were joined by CFL On TSN panelist and colour commentator Paul Lapolice. He feels that no matter what Pete Robertson’s intent was, he needed to be suspended. Lapo also explained what Elks fans can look forward to over the second half of the season, and previewed the Banjo Bowl.
• Next up RP and Moose played NFL Deal Or No Deal for Week 1 in the NFL where Rod gave the point spreads and Moose decided whether he’d take the bet or not.
• Thursday’s Rockstar of the Day was Ron Duguay. Friday’s was Paul Lapolice!
