News and Blog Report: Edmonton Sports Radio Thread - Part 6

[guymez]

The old thread went well over 1000 posts.

Just wanted to comment on the TSN 1260 post game show.

I have to say that Tom Gazzola and Connor Halley seem like fun guys. They seem to really enjoy doing the show which is fine but there is no edge at all to the show...boring radio IMO. It highlighted by the fact that they rarely present anything thought provoking.
They really need an injection of experience on that show and a little more critical thinking IMO.

Rob Brown post game is hard to beat.

 

[Darkwinter]

Rob Brown is the only one who knows what he is talking about.

 

[RegDunlop]

Brownie truly is a rock star

Kurt Leavins is must read stuff for me. My Sunday morning isn’t complete without that and Steve Simmons.

The boys over at TSN1260 won’t even touch this #firejessicaallen happening. Bell must have sent out a box of muzzles.

Glad to see this.

I've been hearing the intro to "Struds on..." the past little while but just casually. It was just a couple of days ago that I really listened to the jist of the clips Connor used. Just laughed and shook my head.

Dave Lameison is the worst. I have never seen a man that qualifies 80 percent of his statements on the radio.

"well lets take a step back here"
"to be fair"
"as he should"
"from these ______ glasses"
"and I like to ask these kinds of questions"



Also him and Belt Bustin Dustin do the most annoying thing in interviews.
"so yadda yadda this week and thats good and took some effort"
essentially answering his own question while leading the answer for the other person.

No kidding. Did they kick his dog or something? They're bloody radio hosts--AM radio hosts.

I enjoy listening to Tom Mazolla.

Nielson’s slimmed down a good bit and is like 6’5. Could probably use you like a puppet if he felt like it tbh

The thing I like about Tom is that he's cholesterol free.

Insult away, just get more creative than a third grader that got hit in the face by a dodgeball.

Jamieson is a stinky poopoo face!

 

[Coffey]

I like all the 1260 guys. People have a lot of irrational pent up hate.

Good talk with Gregor and Commodore recently.

Getting really sick of hearing the Connor McUpdate.

 

[GodPucker]

I tried listening to the morning show the other day after a few years. I only listen to podcasts 99.99% of the time now.

I know shows have to pay their bills, but I swear I did not hear anything relevant for over 20 minutes. Just updates, random personal dialogue, those goofy songs, that Connor update, etc. Hated it.

I can listen to 960 or team 1040 more live. It just sounds more professional. No cheesy crap.
