THURSDAY COMMENTARY – JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!

(Listen daily for the Rod Pedersen Commentary on Cat Country 98 FM & Rock 98.5 FM)

IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER EDITION OF THE GOOD, THE GREAT AND THE UGLY!

THE GOOD IS THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS, WHO’VE WON SEVEN GAMES IN A ROW INCLUDING WEDNESDAY’S 6-3 WIN OVER THE YANKEES IN NEW YORK.

WRITTEN OFF FOR DEAD BY THE PUNDITS A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE JAYS HAVE ROARED BACK AND ARE NOW JUST A-GAME-AND-A-HALF OUT OF A WILDCARD PLAYOFF SPOT.

YOU’D HAVE TO GO BACK AND FIND SOME OF MY OLD COMMENTARIES, BUT I DID SAY I’M GOING TO KEEP ROOTING FOR THEM NO MATTER WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY.

SOMETIMES I WONDER HOW MUCH THESE PUNDITS ACTUALLY KNOW.

THE GREAT IS THE KICKOFF OF THE 2021 NFL SEASON TONIGHT! THE LEAGUE HAS JUST CONTINUED TO MUSHROOM ONTO CANADIANS’ RADAR OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS AND YOU’RE GOING TO BE GETTING A BUFFET OF FOUR DOWN FOOTBALL FOR THE NEXT 5-6 MONTHS.

MY TEAM’S THE DALLAS COWBOYS AND MY SECOND TEAM IS WHOMEVER TOM BRADY’S PLAYING FOR AND IN THIS CASE, IT’S THE DEFENDING CHAMPION TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS.

THE TWO TEAMS MEET TONIGHT IN THE NFL LID-LIFTER AT RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM IN TAMPA IN A 6:20 PM MOUNTAIN TIME KICKOFF.

THE BUCS ARE FAVOURED BY 8.5-POINTS AT BETREGAL.NET AND SADLY, I’VE GOTTA TAKE THE BUCS TO COVER.

AND THE UGLY IS THIS DARNED COVID SITUATION. I GOT BARKED AT WEDNESDAY HERE IN CALGARY FOR NOT WEARING A MASK IN PUBLIC.

HONESTLY, I FORGOT BUT IS THAT EVEN AN EXCUSE AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF OF THIS? CLEARLY NOT, AND IT APPEARS PEOPLE ARE AT THE END OF THEIR ROPE.

HERE’S YOUR DAILY REMINDER TO BE GOOD TO YOURSELF, AND EACH OTHER.

JERRY SPRINGER REALLY WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME.
