Heard the Bob Macown show tonight(Friday) at 6:30.
The CFL was talked about. Of course after a half hour of baseball talk.
But while the baseball talk was serious, when they turned to the Grey Cup everything became one big
joke.
Macown and friends only opinion of the game is it's one big drunk. Nothing about the possible outcome or who would star in the game. Only jokes about the "rouge", and the fact there were two Rough riders at one time. Thats it. The game was totally ridiculed and demeaned.
I don't understand it. This is the biggest non-hockey sport event in Canada. It will attract 4 million viewers. Yet Macown and freinds can only ridicule it?
I always thought Macown was a fan of the CFL. But this moronic effort tonight makes me question if he still belongs on Canadian radio.
Sounds like he was playing up to a certain type of audiance, wich stats show ( AS mentioned on 97.7 fm) -that cndn nfl fans are a minority.CFL RULES FOOTBALL
I agree with you Berezin and that is really disappointing. Bob has been one of the best supporters of the CFL here in Toronto for many years. This week it was almost no coverage at all, with today and yesterday spent on stupid baseball talk about the who cares signing of Thomas with the Jays.
Even yesterday when he was talking to Stephen Brunt who was reporting in from Winning, the entire interview save and except no more then five seconds, was about this stupid signing.
I remember last year he had the two coaches on a Thursday and the coverage was good all week in 05.
I would have though much more would be coming tonight instead of who cares about some College game on Saturday instead of the biggest sporting event in Canada.
Go figure and this from a guy who is part of the Argos GC committee for 07.
I don't know Captain Kirk. They talked seriously about baseball for twenty minutes. Not one joke was cracked. It was a very deep discussion.
Then they come to the CFL, and its one big joke fest. I guess they couldn't make fun of the ticket sales or weather forecast of TV ratings, so they rag on things like the rouge and Roughriders and make fun of Canadians in general? And this should make me feel entertained?
LIke, these guys act like they're in some other country laughing at us. But they're supposedly one of us too? I just shakes my head.
Is there anymore evidence that baseball isn't a real sport than the Blue Jays signing this out of shape, fat, injured, 40 year old baseball player to do nothing more than hit for ten million a year?
Baseball is nothing but a bunch of pussies. You don't even need to be an athlete to play the game. All you need is a bit of eye-hand coordination and you're good to go.
Even golf requires more athleticism than baseball.
yep, unfortunately I saw the show. McCowan said he would rather watch the Ohio state college game or whatever, than the Grey Cup because he could always watch the Grey Cup next year, so no big deal.
the fan590 isnt much american, they hardly discuss ncaa football, basketball, heisman trophy, mcdonald's high school americans, the ohio state rivalries, the fan lacks decent coverage, they didnt even hype up Bo Schembechler.
