Don't be teasing me David Shoalts...

David Shoalts@dshoalts

Glenn Healy gone. Was told it was for financial reasons source says.

@dshoalts: Source says add Billy Jaffe, P.J. Stock, Chantel Desjardins, Corey Hirsch to list of departed. Ron MacLean's return official later

PJ Stock gonzo as well - This is a great start to the work week.

This clip is pretty much a perfect metaphor for PJ STock's career at CBC, summed by my feelings about his imminent firing at the very end.

I take it you want restitution. You see, this is why we stopped sending out fruit baskets, too many complaints about the produce. Don't get me started on t-shirts.

Done a bit more reading on the massacre yesterday and man is Rogers really peeling the banana skin back here. Besides the cuts to the national production, expect pre-game shows for some markets (translation: Vancouver and the AB teams) to disappear, no more man between the benches (two-man broadcasts), and apparently more Don Cherry.

Also, Keith Olbermann unloaded on Rogers on Twitter. Here's an example:


...and while staying silent, Strombo changed his Twitter avatar to this:

I also think jstew posted in here a couple months ago, and I had read it elsewhere, that Rogers was going to sell TSN a weekly rights package. Wonder if that announcement is imminent and they're just waiting for the draft/UFA season to wind down.

He's 82 years old. Bob Cole is 83. Part of me really wants them to work together. Have Don do Coaches Corner by himself with no one to keep him kind of focused. That might be fun.

Moore essentially said "we're targeting the olds", so why not give them what they want?

I always thought his shirts and jackets were a bit too tight too. Plus it always looked like he was standing too close to the other 'experts'.

Well, he isn't getting a pass from me for being the ringleader of the idiots.

For me, it was always a matter of "did he add anything to what Ron Maclean was providing in the same role?", and that answer was never once yes. It was change for the sake of change and you were either indifferent or you disliked it.

FWIW, I think he'd still be there if all the Canadian teams hadn't shit the bed, or if even the Leafs alone were decent and drawing what they usually would.

I personally didnt think strombo lacked anything that ole boy ronnie brought except the level 5 ref knowledge that would make me vomit

that position should be a ringleader ... a moderator (and yes have some charisma) ... strombo had it ... its the stiffs sitting with him that have none of it

+1 - I didn't mind Strombo at all, put it this way, he's the least of the problems with Sportsnet and HNIC.
