    Yes, let sleeping dogs lie.

    Also, the specific targeting of forum members for harassment is not tolerated.

    Very nice open letter. Looked like something i would have wrote 15 years ago. Who doesn't love a CFL conspiracy!

    I also felt that the article was written in a more "joking" tone as well.
    Rogers may be responsible for many things, but this clearly isn't one of them.

    Which is why I found it funny.

    Poor Jen - leave her alone please - all you overly sensitive fans of that little minor league CFL.

    Drop it indeed - especially after that fantastic response/"apology" from Jen & TSN = what the cripes more do you expect ? ;o)

    I just read the article and it was definitely written "tongue in cheek".

    "Tongue in cheek" and "in bad taste" are not mutually exclusive.

    Intended as humour - yes.
    The execution was lacking imo though.

    Any feedback from Jen's co-host during her gaf comment? - this Taylor guy is supposedly a huge CFL fan/stats junkie; yet he said ZERO in reply to Jen's moron comment, when he had the chance to step-up and say something instead of just nodding in agreement? - just another good little sheep "journalist" who dared not rock the boat ?

    That's unfair. It was not his place to say anything. To do so would be silly and unprofessional. He knew the pushback she was going to get.

    The bottom line is, Hedger is an IDIOT...and Taylor is a FRAUD, as he pretends to be Mr CFL, yet he sat there nodding is head as she made her stupid comment.

    Bad taste is subjective, as is humour. Neither are outlawed (yet).

    I have no issue with Hedger getting her comeupance.

    I assume you're not married. Men tend to just nod when women say dumb stuff. It's like men don't actually hear what they say.

    Why not?
    A simple "don't forget about the Argos" would have done the trick, would the TSN management have ripped him a new one for defending one of their on air products??

    He most likely was just as clued out at the time just as she was. After all TSN has become ESPN North.

    Is Taylor not relatively new at TSN? It really can be intimidating to correct someone on the air like that who has been with the network for many years. We can all talk a big game, but I'm sure we've all bitten our tongues when someone above us in the chain of commands at work has done something we disagree with.

    Right. It also looked like one of those lead out segments into commercial. Really hard to get a word in edgewise there. The co-host could say, "And the world is going to end tomorrow" and most of us would just nod along and say, "That's right, Bob." Then during the commercial break we'd think, "WTF did I just agree to?"

    Exactly

    And has he come out anywhere - TWITer or on air on TSN or on the public record anywhere - to weigh in on the matter ?

    A lot of quiet little sheep are good or silent with morons dissing the CFL - and that's OK - just not the way I would roll.

    You "roll" that way behind the cloak of anonymity on a relatively small public forum. Not exactly the epitome of outspoken truth-telling.
