Sports Talk With Jock Wilson

It was a wild and crazy finish for the Vikings and can anyone stop the Patriots?  Former Stampeder Nik Lewis joins me on sportstalk. 

The Calgary Flames hit the midway mark of the season this Saturday night and as it stands right now, the team is on the outside looking in when it comes to a playoff spot.  The GM admits this team has some work to do in 2018.   

We opened it up to our listeners and the winner is......... Shaq

The CFL schedule is out (yes this early) and it's a good one for the Stampeders and thier fans.  More summer dates, 6 Saturday games and no home game starts later than 7pm.  We broke it down tonight on Sports Talk with Mike Franco, the team's senior director of business operations. 

Claybrooks interviews for the Montreal job but the good news for Stampeder fans is he's not going anywhere. 

She played in the Sochi Olympics and she is now a member of the IOC athletes commission.  She also tweeted out a very compelling statement on the IOC decision saying there are no winners in today's decision.  

The IOC's executive board will decide on Tuesday morning whether Russian will be allowed to send a team to the 2018 Winter Games in South Korea.  

It was another devasting loss for the Calgary Stampeders in Grey Cup 105 and we break it down with the head caoch.

Looking ahead to the 105th Grey Cup championship and looking back on a nail biter in the West Final. 

Luke Witkowski of the Red Wings called it old time hockey!  Now he's serving a 10 game suspension.  Flames forward Mathew Tkachuk has a hearing with the league tomorrow.  What does our NHL insider think of the shenanigans?

He is already the Herm Harrison award winner, the team nomineee for the CFL's Tom Pate award and now he adds the prestigious President's ring.  A Grey Cup ring would cap off an amazing season for the Stamps defensive captain. 

Looking back at semi final Sunday in the CFL and looking ahead to the final four. 

Rob didn't get a lot of love from All Star voters as he had the best net average in the West, the most punts inside the 10 and the lowest opponent return average.  Instead the voters decided Ty Long was the West division all star punter. 

The Stamps head into the playoffs on a 3 game losing streak.  Is the coach concerned?  

Breaking down the loss to the Eskimos and looking ahead to the final game of the regular season against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Also, lots of talk in Calgary on whether or not the Stamps should rest Bo Levi Mitchell for the final two games of the season.  Is Stamps DC Devone Claybrooks in the running for the Montreal head coaching job?

It's our half hour with the coach for Tom's House of Pizza. 

Fun new book for Flames fans by long time Calgary sports writer George Johnson who joined me on the show for a few stories. 

Looking back at a nailbiter vs the Tiger Cats and looking ahead to a date with the Riders on Friday night. 

It was an emotional night in Las Vegas and a very quiet day for the CFL trade deadline.
