Wednesdays are for random thoughts on this commentary and today we’ve got quite a few. Here we go:
#1 – I’ve spent way too much time contemplating what’s happened in College Football, and the dangerous path it’s going down.
It reminds me of when longtime Jays Talk host Mike Wilner straightened me out regarding the signing of outfielder George Springer. I was lamenting that Toronto spent too much at 25-million per season but Mike looked me in the eye and deadpanned, “It’s not your money Rod.”
Same here. Time to let it go.
#2 – Ah, the sports media greats. I recall once legendary Leader Post columnist Bob Hughes sitting in our talkshow studio and talking about football in the Wheat Province. “One thing you need to know about Rider fans,” Bob sneered. “…. they’re nuts.”
That came to mind this week when some suggested Bomber quarterback Zach Collaros took a dive when he was headbutted by Rider D-lineman Pete Robertson. Or that Collaros said something to provoke him.
So what?
The law says you can’t punch someone in the snout just because they said something mean to you.
#3 – The Regina Pats Blue & White Game is one of the highlights of the year for me, and the Blues beat the Whites 6-4 Tuesday night in the Brandt Centre. (I know, I’m nuts too).
Cameron Kuzma was named the first star for scoring a hattrick while local star Sam Oremba notched a goal and two assists.
Obviously it’s the surest sign that hockey is back but it’s also Guaranteed Win Night! In this game there’s never a chance the Pats are going to lose.
And #4 – Watch … and learn. The machine that is the National Football League kicks off this week and it will dominate for the next five to six months.
The Cowboys are my team and open at the NY Giants on Sunday night in Prime Time but I’m gravitating towards the Miami Dolphins for obvious reasons and they open at the L.A. Chargers.
I’ve gotta be real careful when it comes to betting on these games because …
That is my money.
That’s today’s Rod Pedersen Commentary
(The Rod Pedersen Show airs daily at 12 pm ET on Game+TV, WQEE Radio, Podcast & YouTube Live)
Miami and Texas A&M is going to be a very good game on Saturday. Then it’s Colorado/Nebraska.
Followed by a CFL triple header.
Word to the wise. Jump on the Miami Hurricanes because that program is coming back this year. With expansion the Big 10 wants to grab them up.
I get these little 30 min podcasts. I was thinking if you had a side show that only focused on Miami U omg would you dominate. FAU is a mid major miracle. When I mention the absolute disgust of how immortals are not in the Ridere Plaza of Honor. It is nothing compared to Howard Schenellenberger not being in the college hall of fame. He was a storied assistant on bear Bryant’s Alabama staff. He got joe nameth there. Then he was don Shula coordinator. He built in this order – Miami, Louisville, FAU. Those schools did not have teams.… Read more »
