It's a thing for sure. I used to watch a lot more tennis than I do now but you'd have the American broadcasts trying to be the entertainment, pushing whatever pre-match story they had concocted... but then you'd get a British or Australian feed and they were just calling the match talking about what was happening not doing all this excessive over the top hard sell. The sport is the entertainment and the reason we like sports is the element of unknown. Don't force a storyline, don't expect the on air people to be the entertainment, let the athletes dictate the story and be the entertainment. -

It's not her job to be knowledgeable. It's her job to facilitate discussion from the knowledgeable people. Unfortunately tsn subscribes to the American idea that a panel needs to be the entertainment and clowns are supposedly entertaining -

So very accurate. I feel like online forums really hit with my generation, but the kids today they're all on "the socials". The older generation is still calling in to cjob for their discussion. -

Hubert started really strong and probably hit a wall. Yeah he got more chances because of injury but he was noticeable in a good way when he did get that chance. -

That is the only issue with lapo. He lacked an ability to sense those few moments in a game where taking a chance was worth it. Down 2 scores with little time left the guy was the best play caller going. Up 2 scores with half a game left the worst. -

Which of those 3 will be the biggest drain on the team compared to the amount of cap they eat up... TBD. Be between Rourke and collaros IMO. -

He left the team worse off at the qb position. I mean yes Glenn maybe wouldn't take the team to the promised land... but he was better than the **** jelly threw out there. Toss Glenn when you have a replacement, not before. -

Guy was the start or the spiral towards the darkest times... decided Kevin Glenn wasn't good enough and opting to hitch his wagon to a guy who had proven nothing... you don't replace Glenn until someone in house is pushing him out or you sign a proven starter in FA. Just then first in a series of "smarter than everyone else" moves Kelly made to damage the team. He put his ego aside yeah maybe he could have been an OK coach, but having to be gm, he, oc, everything just sewered the team. -

Zach isn't blm or Nichols... blm is a pure pocket passer so age is less of an issue compared to collaros who when you think of his career highlights includes the houdini act escaping pressure with his legs and finding the play downfield... he's lost a step and can't perform that magic. He's also not Nichols... he has always sucked at the short quick game. Again, he's a buy time find a play type qb. -

I personally expect him to be up and down all season. We shall see which one of us is disappointed at year end. -

Collaros needs too much help at this point. The issue though he's paid like a guy who can carry the team which means he gets less help. -

Walters ever not prioritize the OL/DL with one of his first couple picks? Legitimately curious because I can't remember. Seems like there's always a lineman of some type taken early by walters. -

yeah I came here to say, dude didn't get all those NFL chances just because he could run from the qb spot and be a gimmick. He accomplished far more in the NFL than Rourke did as an example. Free Streveler and don't run him into a brick ******* wall head first every down and see what happens. -

Didn't Ottawa play a bunch of games with no running back? Doesn't sound like a stacked team -
To be fair don't think he spends much on the flames either. Guy is just a cheap prick
