This on the news that uh Jesse Vanderwerf of uh Heavy Metal Equipment, he's the CEO there, has become a minority partner in the Seattle Seahawks. Fast Freddy says the Green Bay Packers uh from the Farbeir. That's why he is a Pac fan. Uh Garth from Fort Mac says Seahawks for me. Played Madden 2004 in Xbox during the Hassleback and Sean Alexander years, been a fan ever since. Well, Sean. Alexander won me a couple fantasy football pools back in 2001, 2003. Bob uh says, I Mac. I've been a Broncos fan since about eighty-seven. Met Pat back then. An old buddy's dad was Bolins uh Learjet pilot. We joked about how he got into the cockpit. He must have been 350 pounds.
I hate Seattle because back in those days, they're the only team we'd see on TV for sure every week. Uh there it goes. Bob, uh, the Dallas Cowboys. Were my team. I was a big fan of Tony Romo on my first flat screen TV. Right now, if you're an advertiser to the show, you're getting a bit of a range in uh cross section of our listeners.

fan.
Like
like from the O. J. Simpson era or the Jim Kelly era? We d we don't we don't like to talk about that first era, but yes, I'm that old that I go right back then.
All right, so Joe Ferguson was the quarterback and you had uh the great offensive line and the juice and that's when we thought you know, I I've often said this about O. J. Simpson, who has s since passed away. Of uh you know, of all of the Heisman uh trophy winners to have committed double homicide, he's probably the best that was. No comment. No comment. Well, that's the big deal. Now I rega I've I've gotta I've just gotta you know what? I I I hope you can hear this through the we are gonna get to Our Prime Minister Mark Kearney today got a little bit of a shot in.
Why does Bob Stoffer ask listeners about their favorite NFL team and how does that segue into the Oilers discussion?
Uh and it is a tie to hockey. And as we know, Mark was a uh depth goaltender at Harvard. He is from oil country. Uh I'm sure there's many people out there that wished some of the projects were further along. I get that. You don't have to like Mark to appreciate this little love tap that he sent into Maple Leaf Country. Here is Canadian Prime Minister Mark Kearney today.
Canada needs better, more reliable passenger rail. Our rail cars. on our long distance and remote routes are more than seventy years old. They were built when the NHL had six teams. Goalies wouldn't wear masks. The Leafs would win the cup. It's a long
time
ago.
Oh, I l Bruce, that made that made me laugh today. I had a good chuckle over that. You can as a guy who and I think the listeners know you're you're involved in the very involved in the oil and gas sector. But you got you gotta kinda love that he had a little poked a little bit.
little bit of fun at Toronto, don't you think? Well it's a it's a well, Toronto Maple Leaps anyways.
