The Nielson Show - July 16th, 2026 - Hour 1

Set the alarms and grab a fresh coffee—we are back with another massive, high-velocity edition of The Nielson Show, streaming live on Edmonton Sports Talk!   The band is back in the studio and firing on all cylinders. Today, the fellas are diving headfirst into the fallout of a massive international soccer match, plotting the path to the World Cup Final, and getting you completely set for a huge division battle on the Canadian gridiron. Plus, we've got a couple of heavy-hitting guests dropping by the desk to give us the absolute latest from Winnipeg and the local scene.   We start off the show today by recapping everyone's nights from last night then by diving into Morning Announcements for The Haddies Gold Shop to recap all the action from last night in the world of sports.   After the break, the fellas dove into Offseason, What Offseason presented by GCL Diesel. Cole Perfetti resigned with the Jets yesterday… is that what a Matt Savoie contract could potentially look like? The boys discussed.   We then heard an absolute banger from nasty The Hawk about Mike Babcock… right before the boys got Fired Up for Gemco Fireplaces about a call a radio station got from Detroit yesterday. This was pretty hilarious.
