Many people ripped me apart when I was calling games. None of you had the where with all to tell me to my face. Bryn I can assure you is a great guy. Maybe he isn't your cup of tea, but he has more experience than any other daily announcer at Sportsnet Fan 960. To ask for someone to be fired just isn't fair. CP is much better than that. I have met many of you and think this kind of stuff isn't right. That is one tough job he has. Especially since Pat is young and really just learning. I got it off my chest. It has been bugging me for a while. All I can say is when you are asking for people in this business to be released, try and picture yourself with the responsibility and task of working with young men and women learning the business. I have been in this game 35 years. Hired over 100 broadcasters and fired a few as well. It ain't pleasant that part. Think before you speak and be considerate. That is all I ask. As always, Rog
I own a small business in town. If I do a crappy job, I lose customers. If I do a crappy enough job, I go out of business. That's just the way it is.

I'm sure Bryn is a great guy, but he isn't doing his job very well. I basically don't listen to 960 anymore. I thought I would tune in today, to see what news there was on the CBA. I listened for about 15 minutes and gave up.

There are tons of forums where people can critique my business. We don't get a lot of bad reviews, but when we do, I evaluate them. If there is something I can improve, I do so. This is no different. 960 should take note, they won't be the only fish in this pond forever.
