Commentary: A First

(Listen daily for the RP Commentary on the All New Hits 98 CKHD & LTD Radio)

A coupla three or so thoughts entering the weekend:

#1– It’s definitely the nitty grit of the CFL season! While I liked the four-games-in-four-days format the league’s used all summer, Friday and Saturday doubleheaders aren’t bad either.

And a case can be made for all four games this weekend to be named Canada’s Game of the Week.

Tonight Toronto can knock Hamilton out of the playoff race with a win at BMO Field while the Stampeders can do the same to the Riders at McMahon Stadium.

It’s playoff time come early!

I know what I’ll be doing tonight.

#2 – My friends and RP Show viewers are getting a kick out of the latest development in my life. I’ve been diagnosed with painful bursitis in my heel and the guy said it’s because of “over-use (too much running), and … age.”

I’ve been told to rest and been fitted with special shoes.

Sigh. …  here it is.

And it’s another case of me doing things backwards.

Most people get old and move to Florida. On the other hand, I moved to Florida and then got old.

Trust me, I’m not complaining. Just contemplating.

This is a first.

And #3 – We definitely favor individuality around here. I mean, on this commentary.

The NHL preseason fires up on Saturday and while I understand some people may not be into it – especially with so much great football going on – I’m really looking forward to it.

The Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers host Nashville in an exhibition doubleheader on Sunday at Amerant Bank Arena.

I can think of no finer place to be!

Maybe those others are right – perhaps this is the most wonderful time of year after all.

That’s today’s Rod Pedersen Commentary.
