This is complete and total speculation that it's Walters/O'Shea vs. Miller/Khari....ridiculous that we're treating it as fact.
Well I'm glad you said it. Bugs me to no end that people are willing to treat this crap as fact. Isn't it funny how when it became apparent that Walters was the GM the rumours switched from Khari for HC to O'Shea for HC? Sounds to me like a lot of speculation prior to a GM being in place and once a GM was in place his choice is the front runner, is that not how it's supposed to be? But nooooooooo you all gotta be typical Bomber fans and run around like ******* talking about a conspiracy.
So are you going to also say the search for GM was thorough and transparent process or that maybe, just maybe it was a one-horse race since Miller got the chair?
The only thing any of us can say, is that we have no clue what was or wasn't done. Maybe Miller talked to a dozen people, and was really discreet and the media didn't know. There is no way any of us has a clue what was or wasn't done.
The media in the USA is largely controlled by 2, maybe 3 companies...Disney has a lot, as does Clear Channel...Fox owns a TON.....there's a pretty serious monopoly down there, tho it's more to do with radio than TV, but still....
I don't mind PJ, and tho Heals can be grating, the both of them are far from the worst on TV. Some of the idiots Sportsnet has, and the barrel-bottom-scrapings TSN has pulled in, like Mike Johnson, Jeff O'Neill, and Noodles as the "goalie guru".....ugh. What a ****-show. Between the 3 networks, if you wanted to, you could put together a hell of a dream team that would be the best in the world, bar none.
Kyle has done enough to keep me from being upset with the move, but I'm certainly of the group that wanted a little more experience to help with the rebuild. I like the guy, and like what he has to say so far. Surround him with the right pieces, and I think this can work for us. I'm also in favour of O'Shea and Khari together, if that winds up happening. Could be something special happening here...
That's what I'm kind of hoping. The real concern for everyone, and its totally valid, is what if Rogers is arrogant enough to think that their production is the best one out there and should be telling everyone else how to do things. I fear people who think Nick Kypreos and Doug MacLean are actual respected "insiders"...
Seems undersized but if anything its as a STerm best of luck and sincerely hope he makes a go. Everyone should get a shot at the highest level of their chosen profession, and an opportunity to make top dollar.
HNIC is far and away the best hockey broadcast in the world. There's nobody even in the same universe as what they do. Rogers should be begging them to produce their SNet stuff, but I fear it will be the other way around. Either way, TSN sucks balls with their uber-American -style broadcasts that are about kitschy entertainment factor, and little to do with hockey itself. I'm with BFFC in that I just want the most hockey on TV possible.
Noeller for president!
PM thanks! #ProudlyCanadian
And Mike, Burris just isn't a winner in crunch time. Summer time QB, and chokes in the cold. For my money, he's the worst cold-weather QB in CFL history.
*fart noise*.......this was done midway through the 2nd quarter. I'm just counting down the time on the clock till we can resume business and start building 2014...
