Fan 590

play by play

Separate topic, but you guys did branch out into Ron McLean......
what are your collective views on Chris Cuthbert as a potential replacement for Bob Cole?
My view= his high pitched squeals drive me nuts. I may have to become a Habs fan and learn French if he ever moves from the West.
 
Yes, too bad about the high voice. :)

But I hope he gets it (and he's being groomed for it). Chris is always prepared, works hard, true pro and a great guy to boot...
 
Sportscaster IQs

I think you need to have a low IQ to be a sportscaster...at least the FAN seems to enforce that policy.

Here's their big chance!

Is there any truth to the rumour that Pat Marsden and Tom Landry are secretly engaged?.
It would be legal for them to marry now...if they're interested...

Zog.
 
Marsden should be put out to pasture. I think he's the only guy who knows less about the actual sports that he is commenting on than Bob McCown.

And he speaks so freakin' slow.
 
FAN & Hockey

What do you guys think about the hockey reporting on the FAN?

Damien Cox seems to be pretty knowledgeable but Howard Berger is off the mark alot.

I met Al Strachan once several years ago and he slammed Howard Berger left right and centre. This was when Howie was claiming the Leafs were going to trade Sundin for Eric Lindros.

In hindsight that wouldn't have been such a good trade for the Leafs

No kidding, Sundin is "Dead Lumber, all he is concerned about his points , he is "Not a Captain" and definitely not worth 9 million, however, the Leafs suffer on multiple levels. I was fan of the habs first before the leafs, Ken Dryden, Jacque Plante during the Reign of Habs in the 70's I still have his rookie year hockey card. But Dryden cannot mange a Team to be a Winner it is not his forte. Don't get me started on Quinn.

For the few Jays fans that are left, I think Mike Wilner is useless. Whenever he is asked for his opinion, or if he knows what is going on with the team, he gives his patented "I don't know." Thanks for coming out......
Yes Marsden needs to be put out to pasture, and lets get rid of McCowen as well (he's just plain annoying).

BRING BACK SHAKEY

I agree that McCowan doesn't know a lot about the specifics of any sport. I think he really gets by on his argumentative skills and his brash demeanour, even if he's wrong!
