Steve Warne is an embarrassment - especially when real news, stories and opinions are being discussed. He cant keep up. He can barely keep up with what's going on with the Sens and RedBlacks. There are probably dozens of people who post on here who are more up to speed with our local pro sports orgs and the goings on of our city. He's an extremely weak link.

An extremely weak link in a group of many weak links

Warne is awful, I agree. I can say that about just about anyone on TSN 1200 though. I like Mendes but I can feel Simpson sucking the life out of him on a daily basis while he has to stoop down to his level consistently.

Warne's "I'm such a manly man" shtick is so tired. He just comes off as intentionally ignorant and not masculine. I imagine being married to him would be a nightmare and a lot of work.

They all excel when they aren't talking about sports. That is when they become interesting.

Ah yes. The perfect fit for a sports radio station.

I think that is a little much. He seems like a pretty nice guy.

You want to hear real criticisms? Listen to TSN 690 after another loss.

TSN 1200 could learn a thing about keeping it real.

I'm not sure about the awful part, but there is a sense of laziness and lack of commitment to the details of the job. Both he and JR have become increasingly complacent and rely far too heavily on radio show gimmicks.
Luckily for them, this city is far too permissive and steeped in mediocrity to demand any degree of accountability, so likely nothing will change.

Plus he sold Warne and JR some art for the studio.

A Picasso or a Garfunkel ?

So Garrioch articles are now showing up in the Citizen?

Steve Warne is basically Tim Allen on Home Improvement. Except he can't build things.

Not sure that there is a worse hour of radio than the 7-8 on TGOR.

Yes, I get it, its morning radio, but the banter on every other station is much better than TGOR and the banter on every station is horrible.

690 Montreal is a refreshing alternative...even if you don't like the habs.

Very refreshing! Also nice that they have a wide-array of guests on every show. Very nice to hear actual NFL Insiders instead of good ole for Rough Rider Duke. Not sure what happened to all of the NFL guys they used to bring on the different shows.

Drive today

Normally love AJ but man was he and Simmer painful today, guessing it might be like Cowan last night he was prepared to play and got put in at the last minute when Panda became ill. I mean he's been on with Simmer what twice the past week or so and both time we had to hear about how much Simmer loves AJ's beard and the story of the beard and the girl friend. I know you could only talk so long about the many issues of the Sens but there had to be something else to talk about.

You should text Simmer and give him some ideas.

I laughed so hard yesterday when simmer was talking about Cowen and he was like why is he even in the team xD

Melnyk needs to come on the radio and take calls from fans

Kulka in the news for all the wrong reasons.

Former Ottawa Rough Rider, professional wrestler and sports radio host Glenn Kulka pleaded guilty to assault Wednesday, admitting he grabbed a Stittsville spa owner by the throat and tossed him to the floor.
Court heard Kulka had gotten into a heated argument with Oasis Spa owner Henry Nguyen on July 24, 2012. Kulka came looking for Nguyen shortly after 3 p.m. with a message to call Ottawa mortgage broker David Touhey, who had lent Nguyen $35,000

Muscling for a loan shark, truly the noblest of professions.
