Rod Pedersen's Friends & Business Associates: Please Don't Call Him During Rider Games

Am I the only one who is dismayed that Rod Pedersen actually answered a cell phone call during the Rider broadcast on Saturday?

"Could I call you back, I'm on the air right now," he was heard saying off-mic as he struggled to pull off his headset and take the call. Carm was apparently too shocked to fill the silence. Or he was stuffing his face with a sub. I've actually seen him eating during games when I look up at the booth with my binocs. If you guys can't focus on the game, how can the Riders?  It's your fault we lost, plain and simple.

Frankly, I think Rod should be relegated to the call-in show for one week if he likes taking calls so much while on the air.

But the bigger story is yet to be told. Who was calling him?  Who would be important enough for a broadcaster to take a call during a live sports broadcast?

Obviously Mr. Pedersen has ties to the mob.
