While I love how accessible TSN an SN are, I find that all they are doing is giving me easier access to info that I don't give a crap about. I hate all things Toronto, think baseball is boring, and fall asleep during (C) Raptor highlights, making the 30 secs or less they spend on the Flames not worth it. Looking back at Sports@ 11, it was probably the last time that High School, Midget AAA, Dino's, Trojans etc etc had consistent coverage in this City. Grant Pollock's retirement is a reminder of what we have lost, which in a weird way is the ultimate tribute to his career.

Also I wish I found outlaw sports earlier, there is some great stuff on there, too bad it is no longer current
