It's sports radio, and entertainment, and the Overdrive guys bounce well off each other so it doesn't really matter a ton, but boy is Noodles out of his depth on anything other than hockey. ODog at least clearly makes an effort to watch/understand the nuances of how things work on, and off, the field in things other than hockey.

Been saying that for years. Noodles contributes nothing if the topic isn't hockey.

Sid is the reason I stopped watching Tim and Sid, he's an obnoxious blowhard moron. What makes it worse is he criticized Stephen A Smith for doing the same thing. I've always wondered if he voluntarily left Tim and Sid or if he was encouraged to leave.

Sid truly is embarrassing. Couldn't stand him on Tim and Sid, and because of him and his antics only, I never listened to their show, after a few attempts. He is simply one 'hot take' after another. I do check on him on Twitter once in a while, only for a laugh (laughing at him, not with him) and for the comments that completely roast him.
He was hilariously mocked all over social media for his Provorov ranting - whether you agreed with him or not. His rant was ridiculed all over the US.

Neither is whoever that woman on the 590 morning show, God it's so bad
Ailish has improved as has the show and while i don't really enjoy either morning show much i do find myself tuning into 590 more and more compared to the crap on 1050 , how long can you listen to the idiot spew Coco this or Coco that .

Julie T and Leafs Lunch is just as brutal as it was their first day , enough with the giggling , she sounds like a young teen giggling about some cute kid in class . Al's bro has some knowledge but i don't find he has much personality .

For such a large sports market our sports radio is really bad, next to overdrive there really is nothing

I agree , it's seems like most of the recent hires especially Leafs Lunch were based on who would work for the lowest salary .

LIVE now. Bourne had a hot mic on the show with Kyper.

They interviewed Dave Nonis , and during the commercial:

Kyper: Nonis was ok
Bourne: I disagree. Can we get a f***ing opinion?

The chat is cracking me up. lol. Camera was left rolling too

By Nonis was okay, did he mean he was okay as GM? Or was he talking about the chat?

I think that has to do more with podcasting being more profitable. Why go work for TSN or Sportsnet when you can create your own podcast and monetize that through a Spotify deal or advertising dollars. Working for the networks suck unfortunately. It’s more lucrative to just start your own podcast if you have a decent following.

He meant he was ok as an interview, he was giving non-answers.

Bourne basically said he was a bad guest and it would be nice to get "a f***ing opinion" over a hot mic lol
