TSN Radio: 1290 am - Part VII

[Bob E]

jesus Ralph from St James...I know he's an old guy and all that but man, does he think he's clever!

I remember to keep my stick on the ice, thanks to Ralph.

 

[mondo3]

I don't understand why they let guys like that on air every time. Are there no other callers? I'd rather listen to new people each time, especially if the current caller seems to have minimal insight into the game just played.

 

[SensibleGuy]

I remember to keep my stick on the ice, thanks to Ralph.

yup...you can never hear sage wisdom such as that too many times!

 

[Neuf]

Everything Rick Ralph says is just him setting himself up for a pun.

It's like the Superbowl Tide ads, where he's pattering and your paying attention and then, BOOM, it's a pun.

No feelings on it, just an observation.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Man this singer sucks worse than ours. LOL

You’d think LA would have better than Rick Rubin

 

[bennylundholm]

Marshall from L.A. gets my blood boiling. That guy and Kevin O. talking is 20 minutes of wasted airtime.

 

[DRW204]

Furby and Claude....

 

[SensibleGuy]

Furby and Claude....

all these callers think they are all-stars on the show! Get over yourselves you dopes...if you have a question or comment relevant to sports spit it out already! Jeez...nobody is interested in your schtick!

oh, and no Jim, nobody cares anymore about the fact the jets are facing a team that E Kane happens to be on.

Nope, no other callers.

 

[mondo3]

A surprisingly coherent show this morning....not sure why

 

[MrBoJangelz71]

Ted Wyman is not bad, would have no issue with him on the morning show regularly.

 

[Board Bard]

Oops, Kevin O is on. Time to click the x.

 

[Jets 31]

Nope, no other callers.

There isn't any other callers for 2 main reasons , 1 when you listen to these regular callers , the show sounds like a joke , i don't want to even be a part of that comedy shit show 2 Why would anyone want to talk to Kevin Oh i better laugh after everything i say because i'm hilarious . Just sad .

It's not just the laughing at his own hilarity - its the obnoxious intensity and duration of the laughter! He just laughs and laughs even while his guest is trying in vain to make a point. It's so f***ing annoying!

...and can we get over the knee to the head Helly took. Yeah, he got a knee to the head. But there's no need to spend half of every hour of air time discussing it and the whole concussion thing. Every guest has to be asked about it and give his thoughts on "what needs to change". Seriously, the concussion subject is beyond boring at this point...

Totally agree. It’s like when in doubt, obsess over hits to the head/concussions. I really don’t care that much.

The interrupting and laughing is annoying AF--For the life of me I cant believe someone hasnt spoken to him about it.

They tried but he was laughing so loud he didn't hear.

I'm gonna phone in and as soon as Kevin O starts laughing like a big goof , i'm gonna ask him if he has gas because that's the only thing that could make sense as to all the laughing .

 

[LucianoBorsato]

This morning hey were talking about Tarasenko having a down season, and Westwood kept saying how his "underlaying" numbers were still good. It's UNDERLYING, Troy. ugh

Maybe Tarasenko is redoing his floors though.

 

[drumzan]

Maybe Tarasenko is redoing his floors though.

...do they match the drapes?

 

[Al Camino]

I had avoided 1290 for about 6 weeks and especially the call in portion but for some reason I hated myself today and subjected myself to it from 8:30 to 10:00. I found it had everything that made me avoid it. That call from Furby was just the icing on the cake. 10 minutes of my life gone. I'd rather listen to a My Pillow commercial. Seriously these callers make the Blue Jays post game callers on 590 in Toronto sound like rocket scientists.
Huge bonus points to Rewucki for pulling out and old Gary Lawless column being critical of Blake Wheeler to counter Toth's narrative on Liane.

it was funny Toth trying to refute. guy's head was spinning.

 

[Al Camino]

So I tuned into TSN Edmonton this morning for news on the Chiarelli firing. What I got was a canned interview from earlier. I guess TSN Edmonton has the same budget as Winnipeg

 

[Neuf]

Toth was insisting Edmonton should have drafted position of need with their top picks.

I agree they should have targetted their need, but you draft BPA or trade down, you don't take an 11 at 3.
