Hawksbee & Jacobs!
What is that -- a soccer show? Why would someone listen to a UK station for soccer when you can have a grand ole time trying to figure out whatever it is that Noel Butler is trying to say?

Any word on if Pierre Lebrun will be back on TSN690 this NHL season? I still haven't seen anything saying if he will or won't.

Michael Farber should make an audio recording of himself talking, market it as a cure for insomnia and start selling it. He'd make a fortune. Yawn....

There is certainly no shortage of tsn690 radio personalities for this dubious honor, or the honor of being the most annoying person on radio, for that matter <sigh>he got to be the second most annoying person to listen to
he got to be the second most annoying person to listen to on radio after Moffat and his atrocious goal (Cawh) calls
I like Farber. He is almost certainly the most accomplished sports journalist in the city and doesn't have any concerns about access or anything like that.
He often sounds drunk or at very least, tipsy.How don't know in what world Noel Butler still has a job.
I can't stand the guy with the thick Boston accent on TSN690 (as if listening to Tony wasn't enough...).
The post game show after Mete scored his first was annoying AF as it seemed every 2 minutes, they’d just replay Robertson's GOAL! call.
And I like Dan, but Campbell just kept hitting that audio button and I just changed the channel.
I’ve said it once and said it many times and will say it again... are there absolutely NO sport analysts in Montreal at all? I know not everyone likes or agrees with Basu, Denis, Dumont and others, but I freaking WELCOME them whenever I happen to be listening and they come on. They get to business, talk actual hockey and don’t have any stupid shticks.
I got no love for the Leafs, but the quality of radio is better here by a mile. I mean, I’m not trying to be Captain Serious here; I enjoy Overdrive for example, but at least they do talk sports also.
I guess it’s harder for TSN 690 since there’s only 1 major sport in Montreal, despite Tony’s best efforts to ram soccer down our throats. Looks like I answered my own question then. I suppose if I was a sports analyst and wanted work, I’d hop on the 401 to the Six and find work there all year.

The biggest issue is the pay is crap and the future is bleak. I can't imagine a worse industry for someone who is bright and motivated to enter. So young people who used to enter media are going into other fields.
Even in Toronto the employment is precarious. Rogers just had another round of layoffs in Vancouver.
You pay peanuts and you attract monkeys.

Not a big habs fan are you?I can't stand the guy with the thick Boston accent on TSN690 (as if listening to Tony wasn't enough...).

Only sports media guy who I really despise is Buck Martinez. He's super boring and has an annoying voice and can't go 3 seconds without using that useless adjective "terrific."
On the Leafs post game shows, Bill Watters (ex Asst GM and agent) comes on and gives his critique of the game.
Would make it more interesting to get an ex Exec, coach, etc. on the Habs post games to break down what happened. Would think they would be able to find a sponsor for that type of segment.
