## Resource

Barney Shynkaruk from the Sports Cage was the first guest on today's show. He stopped by to give a great in-depth perspective, both recapping last week's all timer and teeing up tomorrow's highly anticipated rematch between the Elks and Roughriders. We also went elsewhere the league, he shared his thoughts on last night's game and previewed the Stampeders and Ti-Cats as well. It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day. To start the second half of hour two, Chris McPherson stopped on by. We asked all the hard hitting questions about the Eagles heading into the upcoming season and Chris had all the answers. We finished hour two with some MMMMMM That's Good. How good is this weekend lining up for Edmontonians!?
