Is it just me? Or has Sat Shah been doing an awful lot of strawmanning lately?
Everyone needs to turn off 1040 when Moj and Taylor are on. The entire show is just put on for the entertainment of the hosts and producer. They actually have the gall to call the show the "Blue and Green Lunch" but then they have an entire very lengthy segment where Taylor reads celebrity gossip and then the two of them have fun with a birthday quiz. Large portions of the remainder of the show are for small talk between the three of them about the best pizza dips, old business establishments from the 60's, trips they have taken, etc. It's so aggravating.
There is such an opportunity for 650 here to take the market away from these guys but they put up such weak competition.
I switch over to Maddog at lunch now. Even though there is no hockey he's at least talking sports.
Agreed, JD Burke is an absolute buffoon.....His bumbling takes are pure comedy (as are the replies on his twitter).OMF I knew I didn't agree with some of his takes but I thought JD Burke would be a good follow due to his work with Elite Prospects. Boy was I wrong. What a stone cold loser.
Self absorbed garbage and pretty much the wrong take on everything outside of hockey.

Are you kidding. Compared to the pompous self absored "J - D - Burkian" style half wits Id rather listen to those guys every day of the week. Hell, add John McKeachie and Bernie Pascall and now we are cooking with gas. At least they have personality, are aware of the sports culture history in Vancouver, and dont try and sound like ivory tower intellectuals running off of spreadsheets and limp personalities. And who cares if they veer off the track a bit with gossip and other trash talk, do you really want to listen about the pros and cons of the Toffoli trade for 24 hours?
Definitely in the conversation for one of the most unlikable sports writer Twitter accounts
Some of these takes on JD are laughable but of course they’re coming from the usual suspects.
As someone who actually knows him on a personal level, he’s a great person who has helped me more than anyone else in this market with my career. I don’t think he’s ever said no to an interview, constantly giving me guidance in my DM’s and is all in all a great hockey mind.
He’s extremely hard working, easy to talk too and knows a lot about the sport.
Nobody is saying that he isn't a great guy...If you're in the media, and stick your neck out with absurd click bait hot takes...there's going to be blowback...Its as simple as that.Some of these takes on JD are laughable but of course they’re coming from the usual suspects.

Talking about usual suspect...we know of two Vancouver media guys you worship like a god now and who are so amazing and were such a big help. Do tell us about all the other ones.
Anyway, I'm sure you find him just fine in all your in depth interactions but he comes off as a total tool on Twitter. I had to unfollow because I was sick of all the poor takes outside of hockey and I was sick of all his little infantile chirps with people who disagree with him popping up in my feed.
JD Burke is absolutely lambasted in this market for simply not being pro-management he faces enormous backlash from people. People think he’s “arrogant” and “cocky” because his views don’t match up with yours.
If someone’s helping me out, taking time out of their enormously busy schedules for a student Journalist, I’m going to back them up. You can say what you want about his personality, the fact of the matter is as someone who actually has a personal relationship with him, he’s a very helpful and nice person.
Sat Shah is a great guy, Randip Janda is a great guy, Thomas Drance is a great guy, Rick Dhaliwahl is a great guy, Ryan Biech is a great guy. This is a culture than Jason Botchford created in Vancouver, where local medial members take time out of their day to help aspiring ones out.

One of my friends was an intern at TSN and he loved Donnie.You met Donnie and Moj? You like them?

It's embarrassing The Athletic hired him.OMF I knew I didn't agree with some of his takes but I thought JD Burke would be a good follow due to his work with Elite Prospects. Boy was I wrong. What a stone cold loser.

Completely disagree. I am not tuning in to hear about some girl Moj dated in 1974 or a hair style Taylor had during his time in Dawson Creek. The fact that you are interested in this just feeds in to the massive ego's these guys must have if they actually believe anyone really cares about any of this stuff.
I tune into 1040 for sports.....yes, I admit it. I am not interested in Don's favorite movie from 1994 or what Hendersen likes to put on his hot dogs.
PS - JD Burke has nothing to do with anything I originally stated. I would rather listen to him during his "hits" on 1040 discussing the Canucks though - over Moj's favorite Cheesesteak establishment in metro St. Louis.

I agree with you. The fact that Don and Bob go off on nonsense sheds light that there just isn't that much to talk about in terms of sports without just rephrasing the same point constantly. Sometimes I listen to Andrew "Walks" Walker and Satiar Sah on "The Program" and in between Walks trying to sound like a deep thinker into another "conversation" they just restate "Oh yes Markstrom is having a great year. Yes he is. His stats are really great and it's helping the team win. He shroud be in the conversation for Hart Trophy because he's having a great year. Yes, it is so important to have a goalie who has good stats and the conversation is also about him putting up wins. Exactly, and we know that it's important to get wins. It's just like anything in life, whatever occupation, you have to show up and the more Marksrtom comes to play, shows, up, it leads to the conversation about his play. He is having a great year as we have said so what we'll be doing next is bringing "Hirschey" into the conversation and get his thoughts on how important it is to have a goalie that is in the conversation for team MVP. He defintley is , and since he is in the conversation for team MVP - why not put him in the Hart Conversation? We'll take a break and continue this conversation after an 8 minute commercial break, but fret not it's not as long as the commercials on 1040.Then change the station. Hey, everone is entitled to their opinion. The way I see it is they talk about the Canucks 90% of the time on that station, you probably get 7-9 straight hours of Canuck talk. Breaking it up once in a while with some banter is ok. Now if you are too young to relate to it, or if you think you need to hear more of the same over and over there are a bunch of forums you can go to.
Id rather listen to cheese steak talk than some guy who comes across as holier than thou.

Going in with very little show prep today but listen in at 12 if you want to listen to some hockey talk.Hey guys I'm interning at Save On Radio and have been given on-air time. If you like my takes/posts would really encourage you to tune in 12-2 from Monday-Thursday, mostly talk Canucks and hockey. Give it a listen and tell me what you think.
