Smart move. He'll probably make more money collecting pogey that playing CFL football.
What was weird about it was that there was no mention of his leaving anywhere. You see stories or releases everywhere about people leaving tv jobs all the time, whether they quit, get fired or laid off but nothing about him. I even saw threads about that specifically on other forums. Was like he just vanished.I'll always wonder why such a good analyst suddenly disappeared from the airwaves but I imagine it was a money issue. They could have saved some coin on other guys they have subsequently had.

Just did some looking around and found a post from 2016 saying a TSN radio employee said Schultz had taken a leave of absence for a personal matter. The rumour when he first disappeared in August 2016 was because his father had died a month or two prior.What was weird about it was that there was no mention of his leaving anywhere.

We last spoke seven days before he passed away. He was asking about some of the recent Argos player moves, talked about some common friends, how good he had been feeling of late, and he also was talking about a project he was about to start, doing some sort of podcast with a friend.
He was the best thing about the Argos.Well, it turns out he didn't just disappear. He left TSN in 2018 and became the radio colour commentator for Argos games.
Behind the Double Blue: Chris Schultz - Toronto Argonauts
Weird how under the radar this was.
His radio partner, Mike Hogan, posted this today:
Hogan: I miss you already Big Man - Toronto Argonauts
Braying Elks would be even better. If we have to change our name we should become the most annoying fans in the league. Bring elk callers to games and turn it into 3 hours of torture.

Good idea--let's give all the wokesters royal sh*t but of course the wokesters don't come to CFL games or watch it on t.v. because they've already moved on to Speedy Gonzalez and Peppe LePew. The Cat in the Hat and Winnie the Pooh will be next.
I'm not sure how many Eskimo fans will be at the games either.
