Dhaliwal and Auld were the best at 650. How does walker still have a job lol.
He's from Toronto, that's all you need to know.
Sportsnet love their cronies.

he has to be under a multi year contract they have to pay out if they let him go. he's been a disaster. he does not like the city, fans or sports teams here.
I completely agree. Sat Shah seems like a great guy and almost always has great takes, but he's not cut out to host. I find myself losing interesting in anything he is saying when he talks. It's like he memorizes a script and just continually repeats it - his delivery is devoid of any semblance of off the cuff. I was excited for his show on 650, based on his work on 1040, but I found he was better in limited quantities and usually only as an offset to the raging lunatic fest of Bro/Pratt.
That intermission with Murphy, Shah and Mcyntire is horrible.

Not gonna lie, it's good for me for other reasons, but will miss Alex giving commentary between periods.
1st paragraph big agree, but Sat is brutally boring on TV or radio. And It sometimes seems like he's just repeating other people's data, because he doesn't always sound like he know what hes talking about.
Dhaliwal and Don taylor sounds like a terrible combo and more reasons to skip that afternoon show.
One of the best radio hosts that needs to replace one of the many terrible ones in this city is Blake price. He was okay on TV too but he's great for radio.
I’m obviously in the minority In this thread.. I really like Walker’s voice....He's from Toronto, that's all you need to know.

He's also not 'from Toronto' for what it's worth. Winnipeg I believe.I’m obviously in the minority In this thread.. I really like Walker’s voice....
He sounds... national.
I don’t know if that makes sense... he’s polished and professional. I like that.
is it?..being a great source of information does not make you a good on -air celebrity.Man.. what the hell is going on at sports net? Firing rick is an idiotic thing to do
You could say the same about Iain MacIntyre but he has a job....is it?..being a great source of information does not make you a good on -air celebrity.
Haven't heard him do the games this year.
He's been on all the pre-game shows that I've heard.
His Linkedin says he was there 2008-2013.
Did they actually pair Taylor and dhaliwal?
They worked together on the sports grill on 980, taking Dan Russell's spot. It was a good show actually, but it was also 2 decades ago.

And that's the exact reason why he's hired.I’m obviously in the minority In this thread.. I really like Walker’s voice....

Anyone else here remember The Taylor Dhaliwal Report back in 2000-2001 when Taylor hosted the Sports Grill on CKNW and Dhaliwal was the producer? It was the year Burke had Russell canned from NW. Their banter back and forth was quite entertaining, I think I'll probably have to check this one out even though I don't normally listen to sports radio anymore.
That is back when Taylor actually kept up with sports and had some energy.
Taylor seems like a nice enough guy but he basically runs his show for his own personal amusement now. He will be done in short order, imo. Sad..
