Shean Donovan actually does prep-work when he is filling in for York, the should give him a shot. Or anyone else. York does a decent job on TV, I'll give him that, but his radio work is not up to snuff.

I'm really impressed with Todd White. Very opinionated and insightful.

Yeah, Todd White isn't bad either. Him or Donovan would be an improvement over York. I get that being unprepared is part of York's "schtick", but that was also part of JJ's schtick, and he got canned. York will contribute his opinion, but it's often just generic BS. Any idiot can ramble on and on, but you'd think he'd back up his opinions with stats, or at least come up with interesting ideas that would generate debate. Lloyd carries that show.

Well, that was, by no means, an easy radio show to do today. Need beer.

Never fun when your friends get canned.

Yup. Even Phil and his lisp and general lack of pipes.

to be honest I don't think he or Jim will be missed.

Next up, Versage.

Let's get a real sports network.

Like or hate him or whatever Harris was a nice contrast to the likes of the supposedly semi-retired Green and Windbag Madeley.

Lowell Green is an idiot ... and a bully ... I do like him more than JJ but not much ... Let's just say that Lowell Green is the Don Cherry of the Ottawa Valley; minus the smarts and the good looks ... and the fact that he feels free to comment on ANYTHING ... whether he knows anything about the topic at hand. At least Cherry knows enough to (normally) keep his ignorant, biaised rants about hockey (which is something he knows ... at least ... a little about)....

Wow. I thought it was because of cut backs. I guess they just thought he sucked? I personally didn't care one way or the other about Phil. I tried to avoid listening to that show.

Simpson was already there doing fill-in stuff. He sounds a lot more polished than Phil "Rank Amateur" Melanson. Trust me.
