Any Lee Versage updates?

Not today, he isn't. Terry Marcotte was hosting with Murray Wilson.

Hardcore Sports Radio was the Dung back in the day. Too bad it's gone.

Jim-o-matic was just like Jungle... except with more dementia symptoms.

This is where I come to Wing Dang Doodle about the media Smile

"The Hockey Simmer" was up to his old tricks: "...Ryan will be flying, well not flying, Bobby isn't a great skater...."

Yeah I guess "Grossie" is gone? He wasn't very good, so that's fine. Mendes is pretty solid on that afternoon show. Simpson would be way better if he just...I dunno...toned it down a bit. He acts like he's the be-all end-all of hockey knowledge, yet there's a reason he's not working for a team anymore. Look at some of the "hockey decisions" he was involved in......ugh.

I think his hockey IQ is fine. He may have been involved in some of those decisions but not necessarily the one driving them. He's made mistakes and he freely admits them, but he left hockey because of personal issues more than anything. There was an excellent article on him when he got his regular spot -- probaby Citizen.

But, yeah, sometimes he needs to tone it down a bit and listen more, talk less. Talking appears to come really easy to him, which is usually OK. Maybe just like they do with Potvin, someone needs to speak into his earpiece once in a while and tell him to stop.

Simpson is better than York and Versage for sure. The guy can gab for hours, which is great for radio...he just needs to giggle a little less and listen a little more...and stop calling Bobby Ryan fat.

Ryan should challenge him to some endurance contest. Would have to wait until the off-season, though.

The "Hockey Simmer" called Shane Prince "Price". And he just about always takes digs at players.

Mel says it's not Jim Rome at noon today? Has the format changed to all hockey? Because that would be sick.

The HUGE advantage as far as I see is live reporting from game-day skates and live pressers, as I heard just now. Instead of cutting to a break, they actually waited for Paul MacLean's presser to carry it live.

Yeah, they were doing the show after TGOR live from the stands of the Canadian Tire Centre during practice. Good idea.

Mendes cracks me up, per his Twitter:

Getting set to host The Drive on @TSN1200 with @TSNSimmer at 3pm. Tune in to find out if I'll get a word in edgewise.
