TSN 690 and Other Montreal Based Media (Part 10)

Mitch Melnick was one of the people who helped catapult this monster into fame. Don't forget it

before or after the fact?

Connor McKenna is taking a 12 week break after next week. He said it this morning.

thank god........the most dislikeable prick on that station...and it ain't even close.

With his mentioning the fact he owns a Lexus ?

Personally it's a tie between Tony and Gallo

It's an Infinity.......

Is it just me or was his bromance with Macramella an on-air fail from the start? Macramella’s banter as a one-percenter is annoying.

 

[Runner77]

before or after the fact?

I remember when Melnick gave the asshole an opportunity as a baseball contributor. Twas all in line with how advanced stats were evolving quickly in MLB.

Why would McKenna mention what car he drives?

Most times, McKenna doesn’t come across as a sportscaster. He sounds more like a CBC Radio One wannabe who loves the sound of his own voice.

I vaguely remember the " I love you's" going back and forth....I dunno, I pretty much stopped listening to the station...I'll check in if something important is happening but I've tuned out for quit a while now. Have better things to do with my time. e.g I listened this morning for about 15mins.....I honestly couldn't stand it so just turned off. Then I had it on for about 15 to 20 minutes for the afternoon show, I was easily bored with those stupid guessing games they play.....station was turned off immediately.

I think he's got a deal like Tony with his man sack underwear

The guessing games, the questions involving superlatives, so much of it smacks of recycling and lack of originality.

Macramella’s schtick about how rich he is and how he has no problems with any issue brought up by McKenna cause Macramella constantly reminds you that he can simply throw money at it, is what’s annoying.

 

[Runner77]

did this happen after the abuse allegations came out?

No, way before. People who worked with the abuser or who had him on their shows as a contributor over many years, did not know how he conducted himself at home. So many in the sports industry have expressed shock at finding out.

all vomit worthy....geez

It's scary when you start to think that Normand Flynn is beginning to be one of the most interesting personalities on the station. lol

J.P O'Connor is good, Marc Denis, and the ex Islander D that comes on once and a while....his name escapes me but they are what makes this station ever so slightly interesting.

that's good to know......a relief really

I much prefer Denis as an analyst on RDS broadcasts. While he makes several interesting points on 690, he comes across as grumpy and monotone. Not sure if the fact of being on air early, agrees with him.

Bruno Gervais is the ex-Islander.

I like Mike Johnson , Aaron Ward and Gord Miller as guests.

Maybe I'll try listening to the morning show when he's on leave. I refuse to give him any hits or ratings. His sports knowledge is awful, he's arrogant (for no reason) and he has an annoying voice that sounds like he's talking through his nose.

I'll never forget the ignorant douche giving KK a hard time for contracting COVID. He ranted that we were a year into the pandemic and nobody should be getting it at this point. I bet he struggled miserably in school.

 

[David Suzuki]

he more then likely will walk out of prison with a reconstructed mouth and a really sore ass

Is he going to the prison in prison break or an actual Canadian prison?

 

[Inkling]

What the duck was wrong with Campbell during tonight's postgame on TSN690? Why was he so cranky? Geez...

Take your pills dude!

Campbell is not very nice to Jimmy I've noticed. It can be hard to tell whether it's just good natured banter and they are fine off the air, but in isolation it just sounds like bullying.

 

[DougHarvey]

He was found guitly in a Quebec court so I am assuming he is in prison somewhere in Quebec.

Yep he would be for sure, I was being facetious in fact.

 

[angusyoung]

at least no one gets called a idiot and then tell them all to go to hell

You clearly have never met my wife

Hate to be redundant,but he's fit in here nicely.

 

[angusyoung]

going to Europe I think

I think that's my cue to set sail

Paid plugs,common practice.
