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'm sure Bryn is a great guy. Unfortunately, it's not Bryn's likeability as a human being that is the issue. Although I don't necessarily want to see Bryn released for his faults, as a listener, I do wish he would better inform himself of current events so that his commentary provided some measure of relevant analysis.
