THURSDAY SHOW RECAP

Thursday’s show was Episode #67 of The Rod Pedersen Show! Here are the highlights:

• It was a jam-packed, fast-paced show. Rod and Dupes were joined by The Silver Fox Kelly Remple for The Warmup where they talked about a variety of sports topics including the NFL kickoff, US Open, Milan Lucic’s comments on Oilers leadership, all the latest in the CFL and the Jordan Williams-Lambert saga (still nothing there).
• The Sports Doctor Dave Petrishen from Winnipeg jumped into the bunker for the second segment to give a Bombers’ perspective on the Labour Day Classic and this Saturday’s Banjo Bowl. Rather than offer excuses for Winnipeg’s 19-17 loss to the Riders, the Doc said the Blue & Gold didn’t play 60 minutes and the better team won. However he’s anticipating a Bomber win on Saturday.
• Former Riders and RedBlacks kicker Chris Milo joined the show via video chat from his home in Quebec City. He talked about his Grey Cup win with the Riders in 2013, Lewis Ward’s record-streak with Ottawa and his own record-tying 28 straight field goals with Saskatchewan. Milo brushed on the US Open and informed viewers his home in Harbour Landing is for sale and he’s taking offers! (Send him a DM on Twitter).
• The CFL/NFL conversation carried over into Hour 2, as the panel was joined by RP Show Director of Scouting Craig Smith. They discussed NFL team allegiances in Canada, Chris Streveler and the importance of Jordan Williams-Lambert joining the Riders.
• Bomber great and CFL on CBC legend Chris Walby joined the show via video chat from his home in Winnipeg to break down the back-to-back set between the Riders and Bombers. He agreed that the Riders were the better team in Week 12, but expects the Bombers to turn the tables in Week 13.
• The daily Capital Auto Mall/Universal Collision Centre poll question was: Saskatchewan is a ____ NFL province? with the options being Packers, Vikings, Cowboys or Other. Poll results indicated Saskatchewan’s NFL team is the Green Bay Packers.
• In honour of Show #67, the guys recognized sports figures who’ve worn number-67 and the group includes Mike Abou-Mechrek, Dan Clark, Michael Frolik, Max Pacioretty, Joe Miller and the NBA’s Moe Becker.
