FOOTBALL FRIDAY RUNDOWN
Fridays are reserved for football on The RP Show and we previewed a huge gridiron weekend on Friday’s Episode #1,113! With Moose Dupont travelling to Vancouver to broadcast the Manitoba/UBC Canada West semifinal, Canada’s foremost NFL expert Jim Lang joined the show for The Warmup. “Clubber” discussed the Steelers’ 20-16 comeback win over the Titans on Thursday Night Football, his lone season (2003) as Voice of the Argos, how Brad Marchand lives “rent-free” in the Leafs head, and previewed big Week 9 NFL games.
Next up CFL On TSN panelist and 5-time Grey Cup champion Jim Barker joined us to preview Saturday’s CFL Division Semifinals (Hamilton at Montreal and Calgary at BC), and the breaking news that Matthew Shiltz will start at QB for the Ticats. (He said this was clearly the decision of Hamilton OC Scott Milanovich). He also previewed the Stamps and Lions, and regarding the Roughriders head coach vacancy, Jim feels Milanovich should be the frontrunner.
In Hour 2 we played NFL Deal Or No Deal for our official betting partner Bet Regal, and then were joined by CFL alum Tim Fleiszer and Justin Cooper (Edmonton Eskimos, 2008-2010). Tim heads up the Concussion Legacy Foundation and explained Justin benefitted from the Foundation Help Line, helping him overcome Mental Health & Substance Abuse problems. It was a very positive, informative interview. Way to go Justin!
Enjoy the football this weekend and we’ll see you Monday on Game+TV, WQEE Radio, Podcast & YouTube Live! Don’t forget the time change — Monday’s show will now air at 11:00 am in Saskatchewan.
