Today on Sportsline:
How good is Kyle Lowry, and can he lead the Raptors to the playoffs? After surprising many with their 5-3 record does the coaching combination of Chuck Pagano & Bruce Arians deserve coach of the year consideration? Why would the Edmonton Eskimos fire General Manager Eric Tillman a week before the playoffs? This plus the Hebsy’s with Mark and Bubbs today at 5, on CHCH.
John Shannon simply ruins and show he is on end of story. Him making race-car noises tonight while Bob was talking was something my 5 year old would do.
is Bob on Twitter? what about the backstage grunts? Maybe someone can tweet at him … I wonder what his response would be if someone asked: “what do you think John Shannon adds to the show?”
.
Part of me thinks Bob must take pleasure in the fact that the audience despises Shannon. Fair enough — better that people have an opinion than not care one way or the other. That’s the Howard Stern/Glenn Beck model.
But part of me cannot believe that Bob has such little regard for the empire he has built that he doesn’t care if some nobody like Shannon shits all over the place.
Despite what McCown repeatedly said today on PTS, the proposed speedway is in a completely different location from the horse racing track. They have nothing at all to do with each other, except that they are both in the general vicinity of Fort Erie.
I have tweeted @ them numerous times including today asking why with all the complaints he (Shannon) is repeatedly put on as co-host or worse on the round-tables. They never respond to those tweets, everything else they do respond but not when it comes to Shannon or Cox.
Hasnt shannon said its in his contract to do the show, at least the roundtables?
I have no idea but if it is then the idiot who wrote that in the contract should be fired! LOL
