Now I'm watching a little curling with the horrible Joan whoever, and the worst curling commentator ever, Mike Harris. Again, TSN just makes them look like amateur hour.

CBC just butchers every sport they cover, (with the exception of HNIC montages). It's a real talent.

Ron MacLean certainly goes overboard with his poetic stuff on HNIC too and it is tiring. Glenn Healy supposedly doing colour commentary is amateur.

The female curling analyst is Joan McCusker with Harris and Bruce Rainnie doing lead commentary.

The other Olympic hosts are David Amber, Andrew Chang, Andi Petrillo,Scott Russell, and Diana Swain. They do a very good job without the MacLean overboard commentary.

There were lots of negative things with CTV doing the winter and summer game in 2010 and 2012.
