MONDAY RUNDOWN: KNUCKLES NILAN, FRACASSI & MUCH MORE

We were back at it with the hottest sports talk on Monday’s Episode #1,069 of The RP Show live on Game+TV, WQEE Radio, Podcast and YouTube Live! Here’s the rundown:

• RP and Moose Dupont got it all going with The Warmup covering these Quick Six show topics: 1) The Blue Jays fall 10-7 in extra innings to Cleveland and host the Nationals Monday night, 2) In the NFL preseason finale, Houston topped New Orleans 17-13 on Sunday night, 3) CFL Week 12 Wrap – EDM 30-OTT 20, WPG 47-MTL 17, TOR 39-CGY 31 and HAM 30-BC 13, 4) Khang wins the CPKC Canadian Womens Open, 5) Lionel Messi scores again as Inter-Miami downs New York 2-0 in MLS play, and 6) The Dallas Cowboys acquired QB Trey Lance from San Francisco over the weekend.
• Montreal Canadiens great and Stanley Cup champion Chris “Knuckles” Nilan joined the show for a Habs season preview. Knuckles feels they’re one of the best “young” teams in the NHL but would be surprised if they make the playoffs. Nilan said he’s chatted with all Canadiens players over the summer and they all love playing for head coach Martin St. Louis.
• The daily Key Auto Group poll question was: Should Jerry Jones have consulted Dak Prescott before acquiring Trey Lance? At press time over 80% said no.
• One viewer suggested the nickname “Knuckles” belongs on the Mount Rushmore of nicknames and that spawned a discussion throughout the show. Rod submitted the nickname “Boom Boom”, Moose suggested “Tiger”, and the audience chimed in with theirs!
• Sirius/XM NFL Radio’s Zig Fracassi joined the show from New Jersey and feels Jerry Jones did NOT need to consult with Dak Prescott because it’s his team. Regarding preseason stories, Zig feels the play of rookie QBs Anthony Richardson, Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud is worth mentioning. He attended Saturday’s Jets/Giants game and said the majority of fans were decked out in Green & White, since Aaron Rodgers has breathed new life into the franchise. Zig and Rod also rehashed the tour of Sirius/XM Radio in New York when Fracassi hosted Rod, including a look at Howard Stern’s famed studio.
• Friday’s Rockstar of the Day was John Bender. Monday’s was Knuckles Nilan!
