Chris Shultz is one of my favorite football analysis'.
I was unwrapping an article that had been packed away in our garage the other day. It had been wrapped in a 1993 Toronto Star sports page and there was a story in it about Chris Shultz unretiring to come back and play for the Argos one more year. It's hard to believe its been that long ago.
Great news to hear that Hoggie is back on The Fan 590 with Football Fridays. I haven't listened to the Fan since that "arrogant pant load" Bob McGowan was tearing apart the Tiger Cat club on his show because they did not sign off on the "undercontract" Ricky Willams deal. Rob Katz straightened him out though on the Cat's position. Maybe he should have talked to Katz first before his shot his big freakin beak off!
Anyway's, good to have a couple of guys on that actually know football. :cowboy:
You two have the best football radio show I’ve ever heard. I remember traveling in the States and listening to all the ESPN NFL hype, and then getting back into FAN590 range to find out what was really going on.
Keep up the great work,
p.s. I know, deep down inside, you’re really a TiCat fan. Don’t worry, it’ll be our little secret.
If you haven’t been, I highly recommend coming early (maybe an hour to 45 minutes before game time) and hang out in the west endzone under the scoreboard.
It’s alot of fun there. You can mingle with a beer or two or three, watch the players warm up up close, grab some food and listen to music. It’s also interesting to see who walks by. People like Bob Young, Tom Wright, Tony Gabriel, Angelo Mosca, etc.
Another time! The other half is working until roughly 6pm so we'll be hustling like heck to get there for kickoff. I haven't seen the tix but I'm led to believe they're on the Press Box side in the Balsam street corner. Kids and parents are all sitting together to get to know one another a little better.
I'll be at as many games as I can humanly get to. I love going the games really early so I can watch the warmups and see all the pre-game hoopla without feeling rushed.
Nothing beats a full day or night of live football with friends!
Great news that Football Fridays are back. But only an hour? There is so much to talk about, Football should be the topic for the entirek 3 hours. It's June, who cares about hockey, its had its chance!
Hey Mike I work right down the street from you on Bloor if you want me to come in to studio and talk some smack with Adrion. :lol:
My boss is a huge CFL fan anyway so I am sure he'd let me go for the hour.
However if you can bump the time to 11 that'd be great cause I am getting off early to head down to Hamilton for gameday and I'd like to listen to the show while I am driving. So if you could do that for me that'd be swell!! :thup: :thup:
I enjoy the show and look forward to it. We are in Box A(EH) if you get a chance to come and say hi.
I have to agree, this is my only complaint, there should be more Football Friday. Especially when NFL overlaps the CFL season, the show could easily be three hours.
Mike, is it possible to have regular spots with the coaches - Marshall and Pinball?
You guys are WAY good for my ego, I'm thrilled that you love the show.
Here's the deal. Three years ago the Fan was bought by Rogers. My show was effected by the co-hosts changing from TSN personalities to Sportsnet folks.
So here's the conflict. The 11am - 1pm portion of my show is sponsored by Sportnet. Schultize works for their arch rivals at TSN.
They don't want a TSN guy in their slot and I certainly don't blame them. To a degree we're lucky the hammer doesn't come down so we can't use him at all.
We thought of moving the show to evenings, weekends, 9-11am Fridays... but nothing pleased everyone.
THAT'S why Football Friday is only an hour. I'd love the chance to do a two hour show again as well. For the time being anyway, one hour is better than nothing at all.
As for the coaches, Pinball is a weekly guest on the morning show Wednesdays at 8:00, Coach Marshall will be joining me on a weekly basis, we're trying for Fridays, but that hasn't been nailed down yet. I'll let you know when it is.
