With Jamie Campbell and Rance Muliniks Toronto will still have its fair share of homer broadcasters. Throw in the radio (Wilner) and print media and the homers in TO still outnumber any sports town when it comes to the Jays and Raps.
Personally I couldn't stand Swirsky's homerism or stupid comments, but I can see how he would be appealing to Raptor fans and I did like his overall enthusiasm for the game.
It seems like it will be a loss for the Raptors fans and organization but a gain for fans of other teams and general good broadcasting in Canada.
