Spuzz Salary dump, like the many that have happened at Sportsnet in the last year.
Old is out, young and cheap and supposedly "hip" is in, as well as pure boredom across the board.
They can have it.
100% correct.......they dumped all the veteran and many excellent people, Bob MCCowan the best example prior to this. McCowan and Cherry were making $1 million a year and SN is a bleeding like the Black Knight from Monty Python. Cherry was already on the way out and this fell in their lap...
the programming at SN has gone steadily downhill and TSN is killing them ....
interesting , have been told that Coaches corner was taped and played in intermission later, unedited in another game. If SN and that pussy McLean found it so outrageous they could have cut out that 20 second bit, but they left it. SN comes out of this looking bad and well McLean is already a known weasel and couldn't look any worse
Grapes had a great run......37 years of Coaches Corner and that is unheard of and difficult for a highly opinionated individual such as him who stayed true to his last episode. Obviously, CBC knew they had a ratings maker and kept him on so long and SN did too until recent mismanagement has led to them overhauling all their programming .
