No Cybulski today means I can listen to TSNR this afternoon. Naylor & Mackowitz are not blowing me away but they are decent enough. Don’t listen to 590 at all anymore so any reasonable non-Cybulski TSNR hosts from 4-7pm will do.
Thanks.
PTS, love the Aquarium Channel in the background! I’m waiting to see if the Starfish boinks the guppy, has to be more interesting than the dialogue so far
Nice to see that Griffin is back on the radio. He’s been off TSNR for a while.
Is it true that Griffin is de-facto banned from the FAN590? (i.e. not officially, or contractually, but that they don’t ask him on anymore and he’s effectively a TSN guest)
On TSN, Hogan just played a post game interview with the Jays’ Kelly Johnson and the media. One of the questions: “Was it hard to concentrate against Darvish because he’s Japanese?” Sweet Jeebus!
Johnson answered, “What do you mean by that?” I was laughing too much and didn’t hear the reporter backtracking.
I thought someone here last year said that Griffin had a deal to be a TSN exclusive, along with people like Brian Cooper and all the ESPN people (Shulman, Lester Munson, …).
Why would it be difficult to concentrate against Darvish because he’s Japanese? -_o
Is this an East Asian superpower I never noticed? o: Maybe I can use it to my advantage!
Ooh… Mike Wilner just (I’m listening to the Jays Talk podcast now) corrected a caller who referred to his his daughter and wife who weren’t interested in baseball being interested in Darvish as “he transcends gender”. Wilner said that that means Darvish transcends lack of baseball interest, not gender.
You can imagine that made me really happy. 😀
I hope for Texas Ranger fans there’s more substance than hype to Darvish than the Jeremy Lin craze.
Other than being East Asian, there’s nothing similar about them.
Wilner corrected a caller?……………….I find that hard to believe
In related news, I am a big fan of sarcasm
