    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.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    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.
