Thanks for all the reports everyone...much appreciated.

Ha ha awesome. Last time I was at TC was about 2006 I think, so I'm looking forward to coming home for next weekends camp...

So how's it been, sitting in a lawn chair this year instead of being at the stadium?

All about Toews and the Hawks. Take em in 5.

I expect dandelion wine from you, my friend!

Racist or just an American southerner??

We've quickly gone from one end of the spectrum to the other re: Richards. I'm still sitting in the middle with "I have no clue" and will wait and see how he grows. Glad he showed something in RC...

Hayes greatest achievement might just be that he designed the Stone Cold Stunner for Steve Austin while training with him one day...

Sonofabitch is gonna tear downfield with a smile on his face and hit everything in sight...

Here's hoping it's Joe Pops hair then.....

6th QB was the Bisons projected starter for this year...

**** the NFL......and for me, personally, I enjoy the Thursday night thing.

Pros don't need an excuse to keep their rye intake up....

Very very interesting to re up now when you just did so recently and weren't due to for another 3 years....

As an outsider, I have no idea if any of that is true or not, but as someone who is extremely nerdy about this sort of thing, I sit with my bucket of popcorn and enjoy the show...

Sports Talk Radio is always among the lowest rated stations in any market. That TSN was middle of the pack for 12+ is actually pretty good. And Lawless was tweeting today that they were #1 M18-49 (something like that) for their call-in show 4-6pm, or whatever it is, so that's good for them. They're making great strides. That's gotta be the most people have ever listened to 1290 on the dial in its entire run. Not to derail this thread, but I am consistently amazed at how QX104 dominates FM/Music based stations. Winnipeg just doesn't seem like a real Country kinda city. I always thought Classic Rock would kill all in Winnipeg. I mean, Winnipeg as a city is really stuck in 1984, right?

Was just saying to Dave today that this current regime clearly cares about recruiting good "people" as much or more as good football players/athletes...

Super smart, Ivy League educated....huge fan...if the kid turns out to be a great football player, so much the better.

MOS is the man...

I'd agree with this. On the post game show, after the coach's interview, I will move to TSN1290. And don't get me started on the number of commercials they play. There's a reason they're able to play so many commercials.......massive listenership. Yeah I don't understand how they get the ratings to do. Because they're f***ing good.....I don't listen to Wpg radio, obviously, but I know they're the best station in the city for a reason (tho CBC just beat 'em in the ratings for the first time in forever...)

Agree with your points on CJOB, but for me, TSN is no better. They really subscribe to the American/ESPN -style of broadcasting where it's all about the flash and no real meat. Lotta yelling and trying to manufacture excitement, but I just want someone to tell me what's happening. No zany catch phrases, no gimmicks....just tell me what's happening. That's all I want. Irving is a broadcasting god. Nobody in the city, any sport, is even close to the guy.

...Because they want you to think they're a bigger deal than they actually are. Radio is all about marketing

CJOB is broadcasting the game, as they maintain the rights for the next several years. TSNs "live coverage" is their Pre-game, half-time, and post-game stuff. They're not legally allowed to do PBP or even stream the other team's PBP of the game on their station....

As far as I'm concerned, a Bob Irving call of the game is better in pre-season, anyhow, because he's gonna know a hell of a lot more about the players by that point, then the jerkoffs on TSN...
