Nolby Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Who'd be your head ref/game day commentators if you had a say? I know Bob would be back in the booth for most but fill in some blanks. Edited July 30, 2022 by Nolby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedFlex27 Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Related to this topic but as an aside. I'll tell you what I miss. Having Don Blanchard from the Free Press & Jack Matheson the Sports Editor of the Winnipeg Tribune covering the Bombers like a blanket. There'd be 3, 4 or 5 stories everyday about the team in each paper. The stories would be different as well in each paper meaning fans could really get the scoop on what was happening with the tean.

JuranBoldenRules Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 One thing I’ve noticed with DT and Doug Brown is that they are really bad at describing formations and offensive plays. I listened to the Calgary game and watched it later, neither of Demski’s two TDs were remotely like what I envisioned from the radio call/breakdown. Maybe could use a QB or more offensive minded person in the booth with them. Also need to say score and clock more often for people who are driving to the lake or on a boat, no TV.

The Sleemans migrated to the US of A in colonial times and for a time, make a hansom living putting up fake lighthouse light at night on the east coast to lure ships onto the rocks and then pillaging them. Eventually, things got to be too hot for them to stay and continue to ply their trade, so they fled to Ontario. Having no trade experience among them, they decided to brew beer as it was the easiest way to earn a living. The rest is history as they became respectable.
