FRIDAY CAT COUNTRY COMMENTARY: 3 THOUGHTS IN :60

(Listen daily for the Rod Pedersen Commentary at 9:50 am and 6:20 pm on Cat Country 98 FM)

IT’S FRIDAY – THAT MEANS THREE THOUGHTS IN 60 SECONDS. LET’S GO …

WE LEARNED THIS WEEK THAT THERE WILL BE NO HOCKEY OF ANY KIND ANYTIME SOON IN SASKATCHEWAN. THE S-H-A SENT DOWN WORD AND SAID IT RESTS IN THE HANDS OF PROVINCIAL HEALTH OFFICIALS.

HOCKEY IS THE OFFICIAL SPORT IN SASKATCHEWAN. IT AFFECTS EVERYONE I KNOW. SO FORGET ABOUT CERB AND THE WAGE SUBSIDY … THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT WILL NEED TO WRITE CHEQUES TO WHL AND SJHL TEAMS IF THEY PROHIBIT THEM FROM PLAYING, THUS PUTTING THEM OUT OF BUSINESS.

IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO SIT ON THEIR BUTTS FOR A PERIOD OF YEARS DUE TO SAFETY, THAT’S FINE. BUT YOU’RE GOING TO NEED TO PAY THEM.

NEXT … WHO KNOWS IF TODAY’S THE DAY WE’LL GET THE FINAL WORD ON A 2020 CFL SEASON. THERE’S BEEN RUMBLINGS TO THAT EFFECT, BUT SEVERAL DEADLINES HAVE GONE BY THE WAYSIDE. MY FEAR IS THAT WHENEVER WORD COMES DOWN, IT’LL BE THAT THERE WILL BE NO CFL FOOTBALL THIS YEAR.

THEN, WATCH THE FIREWORKS. 2020 WILL FOREVER BE KNOWN AS THE YEAR THE CFL CHANGED FOR GOOD.

LET’S HOPE IT’S ACTUALLY FOR THE GOOD.

AND LASTLY, WE BROADCAST OUR WEEKLY CFL SIM GAME LAST NIGHT AND THE CALGARY STAMPEDERS TOOK A 24-12 WIN OFF THE BC LIONS IN A FUN GAME AT VIRTUAL BC PLACE.

MEANWHILE THE RIDERS KNOCKED OFF THE ALOUETTES IN MONTREAL 34-13 AS CODY FAJARDO PASSED FOR 446 YARDS AND 4 TOUCHDOWNS TO IMPROVE THE RIDERS TO 6-2.

IT WAS A FUN ESCAPE FROM ANOTHER LONG DAY IN SPORTS.
