Toronto Sports Media Discussion Thread - v7 (2022 Edition)

From what I have seen in the last month or so they are back in studio almost all the time now. They did milk the whole broadcast at home thing for all it was worth though.

Well get ready in about a month when the World Cup starts.

It's the biggest event in the World, bigger than the Super Bowl and Summer Olympics


They could move the Argos to Iqaluit and no one in Toronto would care.

Shoot, I’ll miss another World Cup.

Fortunately Overdrive, NHL networks won’t be talking much about itand NFL, College and High School football will dominate my local sporting scene.

Looks like Steve Simmons about to be fired...

The stupidest thing the CFL ever did was to move from terrestrial television to a cable sports network. The CFL should be readily accessible on the CTV network instead of TSN to expose the product. Instead CTV freely broadcasts any number of NFL games every weekend and then wonder why Canadians are fast becoming fans of the NFL over the CFL.

Simmons gets no sympathy fromme,his time to go is long overdue. But his contrarian, provocative poke the bear style is no longer tolerated. Its accept whatever is popular at the moment or perish. I won’t miss him TSN will throw him over by lunch.

If I’m a player and Simmons asks me a question I’d say, “I’ll answer your question Steve but first answer me this, how does an unprofessional hack like yourself still have a job these days?”

 

[Apex Predator]

This is pretty embarrassing even for his standards. Just stop already.

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Another career (rightfully) snuffed out by a bad a twitter take. You love to see it.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Soon we can joke "What ever happened to Steve Simmons?".

 

[colchar]

Just send him to TSN Edmonton Radio and be done with it. He doesn't know anything about hockey, and is a huge Oilers fan. He looks right at home when talking about Edmonton.

I would wager that he knows a damned sight more about hockey than you do.

Some of us would.



On another note, what did Steve 'The Hot Dog Guy Is My Only Source' Simmons do this time?

I'm no fan of Steve S, but this is a bad take.

What are you talking about? Everybody knows that most people on this forum would be legends on TV and radio. They just haven't been discovered yet, man.

I wonder what poster(s) people think of when seeing that??

Looks like a fat balding over 50's going off on Dubas from behind a computer, so take your pick.

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Bourne and Kyper actually have a little hope for Toronto, but only Sammie picked them to win the Cup

 

[tmlms13]

That’s the good thing about OD, they are NHL centric and there’s only a couple basketball segments per week that I have to turn off.

Basketball is a good sport, you should give it another chance. Admittedly its my #4 of the big 4 but still..... loved playing pickup in grade school.

 

[rielledup]

The OD guys couldn't figure out why Josi finished higher than Makar in Hart Trophy voting, like seriously??? Maybe because Makar played on an incredibly stacked team?

I go to the odd HS game, but that’s about it.

 

[tmlms13]

Anyone watch the Overdrive Fantasy Draft yesterday? How do the goalies get points? They said Wins and SV%. How are they counting SV%..

I'll track it for them.

Did Hayes say something really inflammatory about the leafs in hour 1 today? Him and Odog said that they probably wouldn't be welcome in the alumni box right now and hour 1 still hasn't been posted even though 2 and 3 are up.

I tend to avoid Overdrive after Leafs losses so not sure what was said

Those are the best times to listen

I guess for entertainment but really IMO they are just being negative clowns. Like I get it on occasion but how about some positivity after wins? Literally after the Washington win, they talked about how the team is soft and whatever. Seriously guys? I thought the topic would be about Keefe talking about using a bullet after game 1, and that would be fine, but really soft in the bottom 6? Do these guys know who ZAR and NAK are? The opposite of soft. Good on MJ for shutting Hayes and Jeff down.
