From Simmons’ excellent Sunday column:

“Normally, there’s a news conference for this, even a virtual one. Normally, there’s a question-and-answer session. Normally, there’s something to talk about — the future, […]

I agree with Paul G. Having Buck and Dan together for a whole (shortened) season was a real pleasure. Sportsnet needs to find a way to lock Dan up for 140+ games. If they can also make a smart hire on radio then […]

The results certainly are interesting. My guess is that most readers listen to either oVERDRIVE or Writers Bloc, since these are the highest rated timeslots historically. The reason I gave people “up to 4” was t […]

@John – how do podcasts work? If Bob wanted to listen to the competition he would have. The point of the quote is that he felt he didn’t need to.

I wrote about what changes the new regime at Sportsnet might make in this post back in February:

Agree with you Chance, but they have tried to find new blood and it’s Writers Bloc, Good Show, and Scotty & Ziggy. If these were stronger than a simulcast of T&S then they would be in the old PTS slot. Also, radio […]
