MONDAY COMMENTARY – “SASK HAS CALLED A TIMEOUT”
(Listen daily for the Rod Pedersen Commentary on Cat Country 98 FM & Rock 98.5 FM)
IT’S GOING TO BE A REAL FUN WEEK.
OR TWO WEEKS, AS WE LEAD UP TO THE 2021 CFL WESTERN SEMIFINAL BETWEEN THE STAMPEDERS AND ROUGHRIDERS AT MOSAIC STADIUM.
THE RIDERS CLINCHED THE LOCATION OF THE PLAYOFF GAME WITH THEIR 29-24 HOME WIN OVER THE EDMONTON ELKS ON SATURDAY.
THE RIDERS ARE TRULY ON A ROLL HEADING INTO THE PLAYOFFS, THE WINNERS OF FOUR IN A ROW AND SPORTING A 9-4 RECORD.
WHAT’S LEFT FOR THE RIDERS AND STAMPS ARE MEANINGLESS GAMES IN THIS FINAL WEEK OF THE REGULAR SEASON. THE RIDERS GO INTO HAMILTON ON SATURDAY AND WHILE THE TICATS NEED A WIN TO CLINCH SECOND OUT THERE, IT DOESN’T MEAN MUCH FOR THE RIDERS WHO WILL LIKELY REST A BUNCH INCLUDING QUARTERBACK CODY FAJARDO.
THE STAMPEDERS HOST WINNIPEG THIS WEEKEND AND NOTHING’S LEFT TO BE SORTED OUT THERE EITHER. NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, IT’S PROBABLY A GOOD WEEKEND TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.
I MENTIONED IT’S GOING TO BE A FUN WEEK AND IT WILL BE, AS WE WAIT TO SEE WHAT PUNISHMENT’S DOLED OUT TO CFL REFEREE TOM VALLESI. HE FORGOT TO TURN HIS MIC OFF DURING SATURDAY’S RIDERS-ELKS GAME AND DROPPED AN F-BOMB WHICH WAS CLEARLY DIRECTED AT THE SASKATCHEWAN TEAM.
THE RIDERS HAVE NEVER BEEN ONES TO LET THINGS GO AND I’M GUESSING THEY LAUNCHED A MINI-INQUIRY ON SUNDAY TO FIND OUT WHAT VALESSI HAS AGAINST THEM, AND AT THE VERY LEAST, PETITIONED THE LEAGUE TO ENSURE TOM DOESN’T OFFICIATE ANY OF THEIR GAMES THE REST OF THE WAY.
IT’LL BE VERY INTERESTING TO FIND OUT THE RESULTS OF THAT, AND IF THE CFL MAKES A FURTHER STATEMENT ON IT, PAST THE APOLOGY THEY ISSUED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR VALLESI’S INDESCRETION.
BETWEEN NOW AND THE PLAYOFFS, THE RIDERS MIGHT WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT WOULD PROMPT VALESSI TO SAY THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

F them riders! They are becoming the most detested CFL team for their constant whining and that’s on Craig Dickenson Cody Fajardo.
A timeout to start the second half in professional football, hillarious! What will those hillbillies in Saskatchewan think of next, they already blew a game that cost them a CFL Championship via 13 players on the field of play. They are unequivocally, absolutely the laughing stock of professional sports those Saskatchewan Roughriders.
ROD: I LOVE YA< BUT WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING IN ALL CAPS??!
How is barely beating the worst team in the CFL the last 2 weeks “truly on a roll” ?
This terrible 2021 Riders team will not win another game this year!
“I’m not happy with the team and they know that” NEWS FLASH for Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach Craig Dickenson – the team couldn’t care less what you think, they are the show.
The Edmonton Elks sure shut down that dancing and a wiggling Old Duke Williams was doing on the field. Doesn’t pay to taunt, show up your competition and think your better just because you had a tryout in the NFL. Saskatchewan Roughriders always over pay players on the downside of their playing days, be better, show some class.
