News and Blog Report: Edmonton Sports Radio Thread - Part 5

In what sense is he “right”?
He doesn’t have a f@#$&*& clue what he’s talking about and should stick to what he actually knows something about.

Quebec lover. Perhaps they have a spot for you in the Bombardier union.

Hey guys, habs fan here. I didn't know where to put this, but this seemed like an OK place to do so. It seems that one of the witness of the car crash involving Zach Kassian in Montreal told the court that Kassian was actually driving the vehicule and was not a passenger. I'll link the article to you, but it's in french. Google traduction got a lot better recently, you might understand most of this!

Oof, guess someone missed their bribe payment. Kind of thought everyone and their dog figured Kass was the one driving anyways.

How is this relevant?

Well it's a testimony in court against one of your active player

I guess I am wondering if that changes anything for Kassian in any significant way. I thought this incident was settled...are they reopening something?

Officialy it's the trial of the girl who was thought to be the driver. But, a key witness testified that Kassian was actually the driver. If she's deemed credible than this could re-open his own case, but it's impossible to know as of now.

According to this article he lied to the police about his alcohol and drug consumption on that night, so it doesn't look that good but it would be a stretch for anyone (outside of witnesses) to equate this to him being the driver.

Okay...thanks.

 

[A55P2]

Okay...thanks.

Also, it's important for me to mention that the witness did not mention *when* Kassian was driving. She got a malaise in court and had to leave before finishing up her testimony. There's still a chance they changed drivers through the night, but that seems improbable at least to me.

Not a Quebec lover at all. But you might just might want to read up om federalism and transfer payments.
Of course many here in Alberta think it was through their/their parents hard work the Province sits on a pool of gold and those dastardly Qubecers shouldn't get what is rightly theirs.
All that been said, the pipeline fiasco is just that. But their is many years of blame over many governments to spread around on that one.

I can't stand the same old crap on every show. Haven't been listening for a while.

Problem is when they do go in a different direction people complain. Even in the off-season people will complain why isn't there more Oilers talk when nothing is going on.

People can hate Nielsen and Gregor, but they are the only two that try talk about something non-oilers or non-eskimos. They are also pretty much the only ones that can as most of the others have very little clue about anything that isn't NHL or CFL related.

All of the hosts of the 5 local daily shows on TSN 1260 attempt to break up the wall-to-wall Oilers discussion but are well-aware of what the vast majority of their audience wants. I'd say that Dave Jamieson (a longtime former Edmonton Eskimos employee) introduces non-Oilers content the most while not surprisingly Lowetide is the one who does it the least. Nielson's show is packed with so many texter-driven comedy bits that it's hard to compare to the others content-wise. Possibly because of the addition of Jason Strudwick as co-host, Gregor's show has recently become more hockeycentric than ever although he'll never stray completely away from the "any sport anytime" philosophy he inherited from his former boss John Short. In the 9-midnight slot Dean Millard does a fine job of keeping things almost as well-balanced as Jamieson does in the early afternoon.

Ya true enough
Just seems lately it's rehashed rehash to me!

That was funny. Good for them they have grown up

They stuck strictly to business and kept it civilized. The presence of Strudwick, Halley & Kassian as buffers helped as well.

Was there a problem with those 2?

If you google them you can read their little twitter feud.

Thanks just read it.

Anything you can post?

Was this the extent of their beef?

See above post. Pretty petty by Gregor to take to Twitter to demean a rival radio host.

Just read...I agree completely.
Makes Gregor look very petty and egotistical to say the least. There should have been a retraction.

 

[joestevens29]

Nobody liked Tencer back then. Someone finally called him out, most were happy.

With that being said Tencer has grown a lot and learned from his mistakes

Hard disagree. Tencer is still awful. Instant changing of the station every time he’s on.
Yaremchuk on 1260 is following the Tencer career path nicely. Arrogant, overly opinionated and smug as hell.
