The Official Ottawa Sports Radio Thread #8

[FormentonTheFuture]

My co worker calculated the times that Steve Lloyd John rodenburg and Shawn Simpson go off topic and don’t talk sports and it was roughly have there shows where they talk about stupid stuff that nobody cares about like weather, commutes, food, and other stupid and waste of air time stuff.

What was the official number for times where Lloydie, JR, and Simmer went off track?

What's with your dislike of people using the guys most used names? I rarely hear Lloydie get called "Steve" on air, its Lloydie... Same with JR. Same with Simmer. Same with Creech.

It’s a work place and a professional place which means we use people’s proper names. It’s about sounding professional

Someone needs to tell Gord wilson to stop saying rocket he’s making himself sound like a complete moron it’s embarrassing

Who is he calling "Rocket? Creecher or Lloydie?

I see you avoided the question.

I have to admit, seeing you get bent out of shape over sports radio is almost as engaging as listening to Simmer go a tangent.

Kinda like how they refer to O'Neill as the O Dog?

Graham not creecher and he was. Asking graham rocket

Whatever name you call him, he and Shawn Simpson do not make good pair for pregame, both need someone stronger to help them along.

The thing you have to realize about Hockey2424 is that he's a person who e-mails me at the radio station -- repeatedly complaining about the use of nicknames on talk radio. Last week alone, I received 4 notes from him nitpicking my work and word usage. He complained that I referred to Mark Borowiecki as "Boro" last week.

Several weeks ago, he crossed a line with me and I told him very politely that I was done responding to his e-mails and asked for him to not e-mail me again. He has probably e-mailed me 30-40 times since -- each time nitpicking me on the use of nicknames. I won't engage with him again and that's too bad because I was willing to have a productive conversation with him, but he declined to meet in person every single time. So we're done there.

If anybody wants to hit me up with legit concerns with the station, you know where to find me. But this one-person crusade against nicknames is a little too tiresome for all of us on this thread.

If Hockey2424 really had an issue with nicknames he'd use his real name on here.

This is indeed one the strangest threads in this forum. Can't be easy being a public figure with all this nitpicky scrutiny.

 

[Icelevel]

Sometimes the ignore option is a good one. Everyone know where to find it?

 

[Wondercarrot]

Thats an uncomfortably weird & not easily explained number of emails to send a person you don’t know.

Thanks for always taking the time to come in here and interact with your listeners, Panda. You, Creech, Lloydie, Whitey, Simmer, Leever, DoniB and all the others down at the station do a bang-up job as far as I'm concerned. Thanks.

Click on the poster's name and then click ignore. It's very useful!

The nitpicky scrutiny isn't a problem at all. It's part of the deal when you've got a media platform and you have to be ready to be scrutinized. However, the constant nitpicking on the same topic from the same individual becomes tiresome.

His point has been made to me at least 200 times via text/e-mail over the years-- and that might be a low estimate from me. I've politely asked him to move on -- his point has been conveyed to us. I've told him this isn't a significant issue for a notable percentage of our listeners, so we're not going to change the way we speak to appease a single listener. It doesn't stop him. He constantly e-mails my personal account and demands that I stop using a nickname when referring to an athlete or colleague.

When it comes to our radio station, there are definitely some issues that are "ours" and some issues that are "yours". This is a "you" issue for Hockey2424 and I'm unable to solve it to his satisfaction.

I have no problems with him coming back with constructive criticism about my work on the station or any articles that I write for TSN.ca. But I suspect he'll be back on my case if I make a Pasta-related joke with the Pastrnak and the Bruins in town tonight....

Maybe Boro steps up on him in the neutral zone, lays him out, and you can say he is soft as a wet noodle lol

This made my day, imagine complaining about the use of nicknames, idiocracy is just running rampant, what a time to be alive!

It’s like a really unsexy remake of “Play Misty for Me”.
