Rumor: Rob Kerr And Charlie Simmer let go by Sportsnet

[Nordberg]

I just realized how much I've missed Loubo's classic "HEEEEEEEEEEE SKKKEEEEEEOOOOOOOORRRRRS"

Flames games will have new play by play man on Sportsnet next year. Rob Kerr won't be back. He's going back to afternoons on Fan 960 ...

Best news I heard all day. Kerr back on the radio.

 

[Bosnian Beast]

Good. Kerr is great on the radio, so it's good to see he didn't completely lose his job.

 

[DCDM]

As long as they make Kerr the guy who sits next to Steinberg, this is great news. Last thing I would want is to see Pat lose his job because they're bringing back in the old guy.

Fully agree. I actually really enjoy listening to Patty. Can't stand boomer tho

Great news. Hopefully they hire someone good.

Kerr & Steinberg in the afternoons, I love it!

Get Kersh off the air ASAP.

Agreed, can't stand Kersh. Kerr and Steinberg would be dynamite.

I really wanna see Pinder get a shot. I was listening to him this morning, he has a phenomenal broadcast voice and he's actually very knowledgable despite the guys always teasing him. He's a witty guy, I think he would be an excellent candidate.

Yeah, Pinder is great on the morning show. Him and Boomer have good chemistry. I'd like the morning show to remain as is, and adding Kerr to the afternoon show while getting rid of Kersh and his Roughrider circle jerk is a win.

I'd also love to see Loubardias brought back to work with Maher.

I like Pinder on the morning show to, but I think he would make a great PBP guy for the Flames. Him and Loubo are my top 2 choices for sure. Loubo is awesome!

EDIT: Sorry I misread your post. Loubardias did a great job with Maher this year, they make a great tandem. We just need a new PBP guy for TV and he has the experience, I think he would be a good choice to bring back. At the end of the day, someone likely is going to be transferred. I don't really want Millions back, I've really soured on him over the last 2 years.

Pinder is fantastic, he is my #1 choice.

Brent Krahn has been doing a bit of stuff as well, so maybe he was being groomed for a colour job? Warrener is an option too.

Wasn't Krahn one of our bust of draft picks? Or am I thinking someone else?

 

[TheClassicK*]

Yup. 9th overall in '00.

I remember when he practised with the Flames during the X-mas break, it was hilarious when he did the interview. Man did he ever get fat.

If by bust you mean sustained multiple serious knee injuries that derailed his career. Then yes.

Olympic break. Really funny interview and he seemed like he was having a lot of fun and in good spirits:

That red plywood behind him used to be the main floor of the National Hotel in Inglewood (across from Kane's & Crown Surplus). I know this because I rebuilt all those store fronts a couple years ago. Fascinating, I know!

Isn't this also the warehouse for the Canadian Pickers? I'm pretty sure it is.

Glad Kerr's gone, hopefully he's learned some humility and won't go back to being a condescending clown to all the people that call in to his show.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Did they take the floor? Yes they did! Where is it?!

That's like the best part.

I was reading Calgary Puck and this one poster "Sidney Crosby's Hat" suggested that he has heard RJ Broadhead will be the bew play by play man. This poster has seemed to be well informed in the psst, so I think this could be legit.

Yup; that's the old barn they use to sell livestock out of in the 90s and maybe even into the early 2000s. They used it for the canadian pickers show, it is right in Inglewood; across the street from the Bike shop, the army surplus store and at the opposite end of the block from the Starbucks haha.

RJ would be okay, he's got a great broadcast voice. Pinder would still by choice though I think.

I'd be okay with it too, he's got a good voice and calls a solid game. I too would rather see Pinder, but I think they like Broadhead because he does have national experience doing the CHL games and I think the regional Pbp guys will see some national time this year, especially on Saturdays.

National games on Saturdays will probably be all Hughson, Randorf, Romanuk, and Cole. However the regional guys might get national time on some of the other days.
