I like Arthur - he's a good twitter follow too. Speaking of pompous windbags... isn't Steve Simmons a regular on The Reporters? IMO, Simmons and Damien Cox are easily 2 of the least desirable sports media in the country.
Arthur is just so pretentious, especially on Twitter. I can't take it. Certainly I agree about Simmons as well. Cox is pretty much irrelevant at this point.
Arthur's a smart guy, but definitely seems to think his position is always the moral high ground. Hodge seems outdated, and Simmons has kind of made a joke of himself at times. Really doesn't hide his dislike of certain athletes, Kessel in particular. His hotdog story about Kessel won't show up in many journalism textbooks. I disagree with Farber on virtually everything, but don't have too much bad to say about him other than that. Having said all that, I pvr their show every weekend...
Damien Cox is terrible on tv, and has the worst twitter feed of any well known media personality in Canada. I don't agree with a lot of media guys, but he's the only one that I feel a real dislike for. I hate that's he's part of Sportsnet's NHL coverage.
