FOOTBALL FRIDAY RUNDOWN: BIGHILL, CATES & MORE!

Fridays are reserved for the gridiron and we covered it ALL on Episode #554 of The RP Show – Canada’s Daytime Sports Talkshow! Here’s the rundown:

  • RP and Moose Dupont kicked things off with The Warmup for EECOL Electric covering these Quick Six show topics: 1) The Elks down the Lions 21-16, 2) It’s Montreal at Calgary Friday night with Jake Maier under centre for the Stamps!, 3) Saturday’s doubleheader – Winnipeg at Toronto (Bombers favoured by 3.5) and Ottawa at Saskatchewan (Riders favoured by 10.5), 4) NFL Thursday Nighter: Patriots 35 Eagles 0, 5) Two NFL games Friday: Chiefs at Cardinals, Bengals at Washington FT, and 6) Rod’s 2021-22 NHL Metropolitan Division prediction is: NY Islanders, Carolina, Washington, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, NY Rangers, New Jersey, Columbus.
  • Roughriders Hall of Famer Wes Cates joined the bunker for a 4-segment chat. Saskatchewan’s second all-time leading rusher broke down the first two weeks of the CFL season, tabbed Zach Collaros and Cody Fajardo as the early season MVP candidates, answered plenty of viewer questions and said the most intense game he ever played in was the 2010 Canada Day Comeback between the Roughriders and Alouettes at Taylor Field.
  • The Capital Auto Mall/Universal Collision Centre poll question was: If Phoenix doesn’t work out, where should the Coyotes move – Houston, Quebec City, Kansas City or Saskatoon? At press time, Houston was leading.
  • Winnipeg Blue Bombers linebacker Adam Bighill joined the show from IG Field to talk about the Bombers’ 2-0 start, Winnipeg’s stout defense, facing Argos QB Nick Arbuckle on Saturday, the differences between playing for BC and Winnipeg, and discussed his successful financial planning business!
  • In the Viewer Takeover segments we discussed all the Week 3 CFL games, new Lions owner Amar Doman and a whole lot more.
  • Friday’s show is available for viewing now on our Facebook/YouTube pages, you can catch the replay at 4:00 pm ET on Game+ TV, listen to the podcast by clicking on the CONTENT tab at the top of this page or listen anytime to our 24-hour live audio feed at RodPedersen.com/ListenLive.
