TSN: Odog leaves TSN? Update May 3: he's back

[keonsbitterness]

My theory is he used a black market dentist and his implants fell out.

 

[Bellefour20]

Of all the media people I wanted to hear most from after ending that 19 yr drought, Odog was right up at the top of the list. Hope all is well and he comes back soon, but the way OD handled it, doesn't sound like it will be solved soon if at all.

 

[Nooodles]

The show kinda lost me when Ray was no longer part of it. I tried to follow after that as well but for me O'Dog was just too much, the constant shouting and screaming out of nowhere hurt my ears and I just gave up.

Hope he's ok though.

 

[Warden of the North]

Hope he's ok. He's brought an element to sports radio in Toronto that no one else does.

 

[Drytoast]

My money is on a health issue.

 

[francis246]

Could it just be burn out? He has been on all the panels, doing radio, world juniors. Isn’t his daughter playing hockey now? Maybe he’s just taking time for himself and to be more present.

Hope for the best I was waiting to hear his reaction to us winning. Show isn’t the same without him.

 

[Anthrax442]

DId they actually use the term "personal" in their statement?

 

[WTFMAN99]

I hope everything is okay for him at a personal and professional level and we can hear him again soon on the radio or watch him on TV.

 

[The Iceman]

Show is beautiful to have recorded.
Good selection of guests. FF to the ones you want to listen too.

Mike Johnston/Johnny is worth the listen every time.

 

[MSZ]

DId they actually use the term "personal" in their statement?

No.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Odd timing to be on leave. I wonder if he just wants to relax crack a few beers and enjoy the playoff hockey?

He is a main reason I tune into Overdrive. There is no show without him imo.

 

[sxvnert]

DId they actually use the term "personal" in their statement?

Exactly. Not using it means TSN put him on leave.

Maybe they wanted to end his remote working and he told them where to stick it.

Right after winning a playoff round? Not a chance IMO.

 

[Peasy]

You can tell the Overdrive people really did not want to touch the subject at all and kept it as corporate as possible. When someone is out for a personal reason your co-host would typically be saying much more and well wishes, not to mention they would likely say "personal leave" instead of just "leave".

 

[JT AM da real deal]

I hope he is ok? ODOG always a ton of fun .. I hope it is job related and not health related

 

[JaegerDice]

Radio silence like this makes me think rehab, but who knows

 

[leafan11]

Based on the timeline the rumor of him losing his shit during panel work makes a lot of sense. Maybe suspension with some anger management counseling or something. All this talk about substance abuse , you guys must not listen to the show, ODog barely drinks now.

 

[ihadtochangethename]

what a time to go to rehab smh

i barely drank yesterday.

 

[trellaine201]

Fired?

Family issues?

Suspended?

Quit?

On leave?

Cancelled?

All speculation.

Rehab?

This makes the most sense. He is 100% the guy you can imagine losing his shit on management.

I will standby my theory that the Leafs success triggers him in a peculiar way.

If we win the cup, he will be in handcuffs the next day.

What is that rumor? Assume it was off air? I mean, you cannot say the guy does not have a bit of an attitude problem.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

They're playing it pretty close to the vest as they should. I love Overdrive and I listen/watch daily, it's not the same when the OG 3 aren't there but Hayes really drives the bus...I'll continue to tune in.

Funny how people are speculating from 'he's going through a divorce' to 'he's asking for more money' to 'he's going full Nick Cage' lol

 

[sxvnert]

Expect an american station to snap him up regardless.

 

[HockeyVirus]

All I can say is after listening to Corrado for the past week I understand why Babs didn't like him. And noticed Hayes got short with him a few times too. He just doesn't know how to shut up and let others talk and also interrupts to say the most stupid obvious things.
