00:00.657 --> 00:02.999
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Tuesday, and time for the good, the great and the ugly.
00:03.199 --> 00:04.059
[SPEAKER_00]: First, the good.
00:04.780 --> 00:10.043
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a very good Canadian Thanksgiving weekend to football, depending which side of the field you're on.
00:10.543 --> 00:13.305
[SPEAKER_00]: It was capped with what they're calling the NFL game of the year.
00:13.605 --> 00:18.248
[SPEAKER_00]: The bills topping the Rams 37, 34 in overtime on Monday, night football.
00:18.628 --> 00:25.453
[SPEAKER_00]: The CFL games were intriguing, too, with week 19, capped by Saskatchewan getting Molly Watt, 44, 24 in Montreal.
00:26.033 --> 00:27.014
[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't see that one coming?
00:27.614 --> 00:33.197
[SPEAKER_00]: The writers were flat, and the losing streak is at four as they prepare to host those same allowance this Saturday.
00:33.557 --> 00:40.040
[SPEAKER_00]: The post-mortem has started, but any good mortician will tell you, you can't stick the knife in to the body stops twitching.
00:40.620 --> 00:45.263
[SPEAKER_00]: The reasons, slash excuses, have been curious and interesting.
00:45.983 --> 00:46.683
[SPEAKER_00]: Next, the Great.
00:47.164 --> 00:51.706
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the fourth annual frozen frenzy day in the national hockey league.
00:51.806 --> 00:59.950
[SPEAKER_00]: All 32 teams are playing on Tuesday, which makes up 16 games all with staggering start time starting at 6pm Eastern and running to 11.
01:00.690 --> 01:06.693
[SPEAKER_00]: For my purposes, the lightning are at MSG to face the New York Rangers while the Florida Panthers are at Columbus.
01:07.113 --> 01:07.794
[SPEAKER_00]: What's yours?
01:08.877 --> 01:14.200
[SPEAKER_00]: And finally, the ugly, the media business has been in peril for quite some time, but times have never been darker.
01:14.601 --> 01:21.525
[SPEAKER_00]: Not sure the news reached you, but late Friday afternoon, MLB is Miami Marlins, whack their entire broadcasting staff.
01:21.925 --> 01:29.229
[SPEAKER_00]: No one could figure out why, but someone whispered that with a work stoppage coming, the team didn't want to pay the wages, nor health insurance premiums.
01:29.850 --> 01:31.411
[SPEAKER_00]: Sounds reasonable, I guess.
01:31.851 --> 01:34.392
[SPEAKER_00]: But some of these guys and gals have already been replaced.
01:38.675 --> 01:43.177
[SPEAKER_00]: There's been whispers too that some of those let go weren't active enough on social media.
01:43.477 --> 01:49.539
[SPEAKER_00]: And even when they were, they didn't promote the team enough, what a time to be alive.
01:51.219 --> 01:53.080
[SPEAKER_00]: That's today's Rod Peters in commentary.
00:00.657 --> 00:02.999
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Tuesday, and time for the good, the great and the ugly.
