THURSDAY RUNDOWN: NFL KICKOFF, CFL WEEK 14 & RON DUGUAY!

It was smiles all around as we got ready for the biggest football weekend of the year and told some hockey stories on Episode #1,076 of The RP Show – Daytime Sportstalk – on Game+TV, WQEE Radio, Podcast & YouTube! Here’s the rundown:

• RP and Moose Dupont got things going with The Warmup covering these Quick Six show topics: 1) The NFL season opens with Detroit at Kansas City Thursday night (Bet Regal has the Chiefs favoured by 4.5), 2) A recap of Rod’s Twitter Space Wednesday evening previewing the NHL’s Atlantic Division, and was Moose offended by Chris Dingman’s anti-Leafs comments on Wednesday??, 3) The CFLPA launches a complaint over bad air quality in Monday’s Edmonton/Calgary Labour Day Classic game, 4) Bet Regal Deal Or No Deal for Week 14 in the CFL – Hamilton at Ottawa (-4), Montreal at Toronto (-10), Saskatchewan at Winnipeg (-8.5), and Calgary at Edmonton (-2), 5) Canada’s into the semifinals at the FIBA World Cup, and 6) The Blue Jays are into a wildcard spot and are off on Thursday.
• The Steadies rock group frontman Earl Pereira joined the show to discuss rocking Mosaic Stadium at halftime of Sunday’s Labour Day Classic. Earl went through the setlist, said it was the second-biggest crowd they’ve ever performed in front of (he opened with Wide Mouth Mason for The Rolling Stones before 60,000 at Rogers Centre), and recapped the band’s summer cross-Canada tour. He said it was the best summer of his life!
• NHL great Ron Duguay joined the show in Hour 2 and was proud to report he’s lost 10 lbs since his last show appearance! He said he could see the NY Rangers missing the playoffs, examined the firing of Rangers coach Gerard Gallant, said the Devils should be just as good this year, and much more!
• The Key Auto Group daily poll question was: Who will be NFL MVP – Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen or Other? At press time Joe Burrow was leading.
• Wednesday’s Rockstar was Chris Dingman. Thursday’s was Ron Duguay!
• If you missed the show you can catch the replay at 10 pm PT/12 am CT on Game+TV, on our YouTube Channel or wherever you enjoy your podcasts.
• See you at 12 pm ET on Friday for a Football Friday featuring Paul LaPolice and Jim Barker!
