Toronto Sports Media Discussion Thread - v7 (2022 Edition)

[Golden_Jet]

I hope hes back on TSN, I liked him. (Corrado).

 

[Stand Witness]

I did some more digging. CJ definitely appears to not be back at TSN. It was in his twitter bio before Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) | Twitter

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Derp. Overdrive fan.

 

[Nineteen67]

Overdrive just mentioned lurking and hearing about Dubas' lame duck status on Gerry's percentages. TSN staff definitely checks this forum.

LeBrun used lame duck coach on Leafs Lunch today.

 

[Golden_Jet]

All media use lame duck when a gm or coach is in the last year of deal. This isn’t a new thing.

They use that term professionally? My bad. Lot of talk about that in Dubas' thread.

Tho lurking is an online term.

Technically he isn’t a lame duck, but he really is a lame duck - He has to win one round and be competitive in abother

 

[The Masters]

lame duck is used every time for a coach / gm in his final year lol

Yup. I think some people are confusing this sage in sports with the usage in politics which is usually for politicians who were not re-elected but still have time to serve before the new government takes over.

Anyone else miss Frank Corrado on Overdrive?!

I like O for the comedy factor so it Frankie could replace Noodles that would be perfect. Noodles bring absolutely nothing to the show.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I find this current iteration of Leafs Lunch unbearable to listen to.

Radio has too much competition with podcasters and this is the quality of broadcaster we’ll get

I was listening to it today and I thought the same thing

 

[TheRumble]

I'm not surprised so many of you consume traditional media give how bad the takes are on this forum.

Leafs media for me is PPP, Steve Dangle Podcast Network, Ian Tulloch's work with the Leafs Geek podcast and now Everything Leafs.

“If you don’t like what I like then your opinion is WRONG” lmao

It's been unbearable since the Overdrive guys left. I didn't think they could find a worse host then Petrillo but they did. Is it still Tocheri?

I remember the good ol' days of Leafs Lunch back on MOJO Radio 640 hosted by Jeff Marek and Bill Watters. Dreger hosted for a bit too I think on 640 as well, before TSN had their own station. Not sure how TSN got the rights to the name.

 

[TheRumble]

“If you don’t like what I like then your opinion is WRONG” lmao

Just saying there's been more than once in here I've read someone unironically say that Marleau was preferable to Tavares. And it got multiple likes.

That means somebody in here make a stupid take and multiple people went out of their way to express positive affirmation about it.

 

[Peasy]

SDP gone down hill imo. Adam's ego has grown so much and they have such little knowledge on teams outside of the Leafs but they talk about them with such confidence. Not to mention all the garbage sports betting that theyre peddling now.

 

[Jozay]

Steve dangle podcast is not for me. They seem like good dudes, but they refuse to do any research. Show just feels very uninformed.

 

[Stand Witness]

I agree in the SDP. It is still in my podcast rotation but a skip if there is anything else lol.

Quality seems to have gone down and sometimes the content just isn’t what I want. I basically removed all social media to avoid a lot of the political type bs but they do bring it in more often then not.

Adam is really hard to listen to.

 

[Amadeus]

Will Lou and Blake Murphy are the best on the FAN and it's not even close. Need a Blake equivalent for hockey.

Spitting Chicklets will always be my go to during the NHL season. They get the best guests, the give their actual opinions and surprisingly the boys actually watch games and are knowledgeable about what’s happening league wide.

Overdrive to me though is still the best show, it’s the perfect mix of sports and funny water cooler talk. That’s what you want. I listen to overdrive on the way home from work and keep them on while I’m making dinner. Really the only show I’ll devote 3 hours to daily.

Odog's reaction to Frankie Lasagna not liking Lasagna was amazing
