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

[joestevens29]

Like usual I only caught bits and pieces, but the pieces I heard on Storytime with Adam Oates were gold.

 

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

Honestly, all Oilers media, radio hosts, etc are pathetic.

How so

 

[Stoneman89]

Tom Gazzola should take over the 12-2 spot.

Miss him from the Oilers telecasts. Really don't care for the guy that's there currently.

 

[ghostnights]

Gazzola is solid . Everyone else is a knob

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

Really? I find him quite annoying. Seems like every answer has to be long winded for the sake of being long winded.

Oilers Now with Bob Stauffer | Global News

August 11, part two with Mark Spector @ 10:10

"I look at this Oilers team right now and McDavid and Draisaitl have a chance to be Hall of Famers. That's all I see on this team right now. Maybe with time, Darnell Nurse will progress and because the Oilers win 3-4 times and Nurse continues to grow, maybe we'll be talking about him as a Hall-of-Fame calibre defenseman." - Bob Stauffer

"Probably not" - Mark Spector

I shut the radio off after this. I'm only gonna listen to 1260 and Struds from now on. Bob is so lame. Make self depricating joke about marriage, weight, beer. Over and over and over again.

What exactly is his full time gig?

Covers the Oilers for the Athletic.

That isn't really a full time gig is it? There really is nothing to cover that he couldn't do from home

 

[bellagiobob]

Pretty sure it's full time. Spits out a story every couple of days. Since he's not going to do from home I'm guessing it isn't feasible.

Ryan Jespersen fired by 630 CHED | Edmonton Journal

Personally, was never a fan.
Another reason I dropped my season tickets was his yammering during breaks & lame contests...hope the oilers say bye as well.

I could comment on this but no politics allowed thus I best keep quiet.

Never ask the real tough questions that get to the root of real problems.

Too worried about hurting feelings.

This got me thinking of Dan Tencer.

Its best he went to CBC radio...... He'd fit in well there

The guy called City Council a bunch of chimps and got into it with Nickel. Nickel the one council member that will vote against everything. Even things that he came up with months before.

We need more people calling our city council chimps

Spewing vitriol just validates their actions and deflects attention from their incompetence.

We need competent people to step up as candidates to replace them and Iveson at the next civic elections. They run the city like a fiefdom.

 

[Joey Moss]

30 minute discussion on if anthems should stay in games on Oilersnow.. painful.

 

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

How so

Bunch of brown nosing suck-ups!

Should've used Baboons instead:

Home anthem yes. I don’t have an issue with both but when my STH partner and I go to games together and get there and realize that it’s a one-anthem night we are usually pleased.

I usually sing along to both when played but won’t miss it if the pregame ramble is a little tighter.

I remember the last election when Iveson was like...the only actual candidate. All the rest were insane people

 

[Oilhawks]

From what I remember one of the only somewhat legitimate candidates was a guy that wanted to bring back smoking indoors. Riiiiiight

Wasn’t one of the candidates speculated to be not even a real person or something?

Hell let’s have HFOil run the city by council
