5 minutes on the round-table was enough for me. Mcalief looked scared shitless sitting across from Iron Mike, Goggles arguing Hockey strategy with Mike? What a joke, and Bob really needs a a wardrobe guy/girl.
Back to Hoops.
I always listen to it on the radio. I watched it on TV once and then realized what I was doing….
LOLOLOL. Just flipped over at halftime of the game to see who was on the round-table, once I saw Goggles I hit ‘return’, well I shouldn’t lie, I did listen for a few. Just so sick of listening to everyone is Toronto giving their two cents worth on how to fix the Leafs.
The 5:00 leafs hour was so dry and uninteresting to a non leafs fan who grew up strongly disliking keenan as coach of flyers and hawks.
I thought tim left the room during the second segment.
That’s the part I watched. I found Bob to be even more straight foreword than normal when he went on his rant about firing Burke, it seemed like since Keenan was there and agreed with him that it was OK to fly off the handle. Wonder if he would give that same speech to BB’s face or on phone, or as usual be all buddy-buddy with him.
The college sports talk was something. It sounds like keenan’s college expwriences in the 70s dont gell with life in 2012.
@Darren
Bob is simply the best at growing a pair when the person he is slamming is nowhere to been seen or heard, and if they are on the phone (usually fans) he simply hangs up!
When everyone posts some sort of complaint about PTS or the roundtable or whos on it, it makes me happy I switched to TSN radio.
TSN’s line-up doesn’t look much better to me: McKenzie and Dreger and same old, same old.
The problem that roundtables with “special guests” run into is it always becomes about that guest, his experiences and his opinions and the debate tends to centre around that, so it’s not really a roundtable as it is a kite table :\
This blog needs a name change to “Complaining about the Fan 590 but I can’t stop listening to the Fan 590”
Anyone?
Mike…Kee…nan…needs…to…talk…fas…ter! And tell stories that are relevant to the discussion.
I agree listening to Shannon argue with Iron Mike Keenan was a freaking joke. Iron Mike and Bobcat had a great discussion going but were constantly interrupted by Shannon’s stupid comments. Get him off the air!!! And Bob could care less if blowhard Burke ever came on his show again and will and does always give his honest opinion, Leafs fans just can’t handle shit! When Wilson was first hired many said he wasn’t the right coach for a young rebuilding Leafs team and these people were flamed by the fools in Leafs Nation. Fast forward to February 2012 at the ACC…anyone hear 18 thousand Leafs fans chanting FIIIIIIIIIRE WIIIIIILSON!!!!!!!LMFAO
Also agree never seen anyone look so out of place on the PTS roundtable than that Tim guy. Who are Sam & Ted? 2 know nothing sports news readers from the score that Kollins Pelley & Moore are trying to turn in to sports knowledgeable and entertaining talk show hosts. They have never been pro athletes or newspaper writers won’t ever work for me.
@ Derrick, Keenan was bang on the entire show with relavant discussion and insight off many years of NHL experience on why he thinks Burke should be shit canned now. Keenan also won a Cup….something the Leafs havn’t done since 1967 in the old 6 team NHL and when black & white TV’s with rabbitt ears were common place in peoples homes.
Thanks for proving my point you are just another delusional Leafs fan that can’t handle shit! Give it another year, at the very most, Derrick will be chanting FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE BUUUUUURRRRRKE at the ACC. LOL
@ Becks, when or where did I say I was a Leaf’s fan, or I wanted Burke fired? How did I prove your point that I am “another delusional Leafs fan”? Please explain.
Zack Cooper of Sportsnet Fan Radio leaving 590 to join a Gaming Company…
Becks said re Tim and Sid : They have never been pro athletes or newspaper writers.
That’s right. They are professional broadcasters. Remember a time when radio personalities were BROADCASTERS????? I’d rather listen to them than a print guy or dumb jock. McCown was never an athlete or print guy. Same with Tatti, Hogan etc…..
TSN hasn’t mentioned the Wendy’s Baconator often enough during their NCAA March Madness coverage.
Did anybody catch Shannon’s “yeah because you haven’t talked enough already” shot at Keenan? I know he tried to pass it off as a joke, but he really sounded annoyed that Keenan was doing the talking and it wasn’t the John Shannon show :\
Ami,
Yes I heard that comment by Shannon. I also noticed that only Shannon was sticking up for Burke and must have been feeling out numbered. Tim pretty much said nothing, and when he did it was just a poor attempt at humour. He was completely overpowered by Keenan and played it safe by saying nothing.
I listened to Mike’s analysis (more like how great he was at his time in Chicago – yes Mike, we’re all soooo impressed…) and while he did make a couple of decent points, it was hard to listen to – not because I’m a Leaf fan (I’m not) but because he speaks like one of those tree things in Lord of the Rings. Meanwhile, as Ami pointed out, Shannon was on a slow burn, waiting to chime in. Tim was nowhere.
Anyway, I gave it a segment and a half and moved on. I had laundry to do.
I have no idea why they thought having Keenan on the roundtable was a good idea………..they asked him if the Leafs should trade Kessel and he talked for 10 minutes about all of the good players he acquired when he was with Chicago, St. Louis, NY Rangers, etc…………..I thought he was going to hurt his arm patting himself on the back so much
The PTS roundtable used to be full of fresh voices (Friedman, Arthur before he went to 1050, Doug Smith, Shoalts, Zeisberger, etc) but lately it seems like it is almost exclusively full time Rogers people or part time Rogers people like Keenan…………….Sam or Ted do a decent job on the roundtable but I’m not sure I want to hear them for 2 hours after they were just on for 3 hours earlier in the day
Its clear Keenan wants the Leafs GM job just by the way he was talking. Id rather keep Burke for another 10 years then hire that dinosaur Keenan. Shannon is the only smart one at the roundtable wake up guys takes more then 3 years to build a contender
what ever happened to the Bruce Arthur Q&A?
The best roubndtable by far was the classic Kirke, Deacon, and Brunt.
@MIB, Arthur works for TSN, he is a regular on the Sports Reporters and does various things on tsn radio.
@JUSTORBS, agree if you take Deacon & Kirke out!
I presume he meant the Q and A that TSM did with Arthur and solicited for questions here.
