I could only last throught the first 2 minutes of this. McCowan and Shannon are both brutal.

It kills me how Sportsnet uses him as a panel guy on there hockey broadcasts. If I want someone to tell me why the broadcast switched from one camera angle to another, I might consider a TV producer as an authority. To have him tell me why a player is in a slump as if he's some hockey expert is mind boggling. Sportsnet has no clue.

I used to be a pretty regular listener but time has really passed these guys by. They are seriously out of touch and not very knowledgeable about a lot of subjects.
McCown's Abe Simpson schtick has grown old, the supersaturation of Jays and Leafs has tuned me out. Madani's CFL hitman routine is lame and the same with Cox until someone from the league might be on and then he is nice as pie.
Maybe my "shark jumping" moment was when Shannon said "my Wolverines" Really?
Again, as someone has said, why should we listen to them as a middleman for American sports when we can get it straight from the source.

Bob sticking around for a little longer.
Shannon is certainly beyond his "best before" date. I will mention though that he produced the old Canadian Football Network games from 1987 to 1990. He was considered to be a controversial figure in the sports broadcasting world at that time and, IIRC, was fired by Hockey Night in Canada before resurfacing with the CFL.
