THURSDAY SHOW RECAP
Thursday was Episode #63 of The Rod Pedersen Show. Here are the highlights!
- Rod and Dupes were joined in the bunker by The Silver Fox Kelly Remple for The Warmup. They covered the day’s top sports topics and Remps talked a bit about Tuesday’s exhibition WHL game between the Pats and Warriors in Moose Jaw. Rod also addressed the talk of the NFL putting a team in Toronto, and they revisited the Andrew Harris steroid violation
- That spawned the daily Capital Auto Mall/Universal Collision Centre poll question: What happens first – an NFL team in Toronto, a CFL team in Halifax or neither? At press time, the leader was a CFL team in Halifax.
- CFL great Kevin Glenn joined the show from his home in Detroit via video chat. KG said he thinks he’s the only QB to win all three Labour Day Classics: Winnipeg at Saskatchewan, Toronto at Hamilton and Edmonton at Calgary. Viewers wrote in suggesting Matt Dunigan and Henry Burris may have accomplished the feat as well.
- KG also said that despite the turmoil that appears to be brewing with the Blue Bombers (the Harris suspension, the release of Chris Matthews and the injury to Matt Nichols), he doesn’t believe any of it is affecting the Bomber locker room negatively.
- Rider greats Mike McCullough and Gene Makowsky joined the bunker to talk about their favourite Labour Day Classic memories and previewed this Sunday’s Labour Day Classic 55. They said they don’t ever remember losing to the Bombers on Labour Day Weekend.
- A special treat was a visit from beloved Rider coach Ken Miller from his home in Asheville, NC. The extended chat brushed on a wide variety of topics including Kenny’s favourite LDC memories, his philosophy on coaching, his best memories from his time with Saskatchewan, and his love for his players including McCullough and Makowsky.
- In honour of show #63, the guys recognized sports figures who’ve worn number-63 in their career. That group includes Brad Marchand, Tyler Ennis, Evgeni Dadonov, Rick Goltz, Derek Dennis, Chris Walby, Jesse Gabrielle and Mike Ribeiro.
