TUESDAY RUNDOWN: A POWER OUTAGE, AND NFL & CFL TALK!
A power outage at RP Show World Headquarters knocked us off the air for Hour 1 of Tuesday’s Episode #540 however the hottest sports talk made up for it in Hour 2! Read on for the rundown:
- RP and Moose Dupont got it going with The Warmup for EECOL Electric and Second Half Kickoff for Corr Grain covering these Quick Six show topics: 1) Canada will play Sweden for Womens Soccer Gold at the Tokyo Olympics, 2) It’s Tom Brady’s 44th birthday! And other NFL Notes, 3) A preview of Week 1 in the CFL, 4) Kyle Lowry is now a member of the Miami Heat, 5) Yankees ace Gerrit Cole will miss Tuesday’s start due to a positive Covid test, and 6) What should be done with Evander Kane? (We would Face Off on it later in the program).
- Sirius/XM NFL Radio’s Zig Fracassi joined the show from New York for the latest in the NFL and was glad Rod didn’t want to discuss Aaron Rodgers because he’s sick of the story too! Zig explained what he knew about Tuesday morning’s brawl at New York Giants practice, examined the long-running feud between Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones and this week’s Pro Football Hall of Fame Induction Class, and an outlook for the Dallas Cowboys in 2021. Zig thinks they possess a Top 5 offense and should be the favourite to win the NFC East.
- The daily Capital Auto Mall/Universal Collision Centre poll question was: Which is Canada’s Game Of The Week in the CFL? At press time, Ticats/Bombers and Lions/Riders were neck-and-neck. Winnipeg viewers felt it should be no contest.
- On the Evander Kane matter, Rod feels he should be banned for life if found guilty of betting on San Jose Sharks games while Darren felt a 5-year suspension would be appropriate. The Face Off is a presentation of UFZ Moose Jaw and The Mad Greek Restaurant.
- The guys heavily analyzed the Canada/USA Womens Soccer semifinal and previewed the gold medal game versus Sweden but weren’t entirely sure when it airs? Viewers quickly chimed in with the correct info, saying it’s at 8:00 pm MT on Thursday.
