I can understand how people may not like Jim Rome's style, I get it. But as a radio program it's infinitely better and more entertaining than any of our local shows. Some of that has to do with increased money and exposure but on a talent to talent level it's not close. Pausing for effect as Rome is prone to do is different than blathering on about Siri on your phone or singing along horribly to 80's music.
I don't want to come off like I have an irrational hatred of Boomer because I don't, as I said earlier I'm sure he's a nice guy. His talent level however is just not there. Unfortunately I don't think he'll go to Toronto because, among other reasons, he can't talk basketball or baseball at all. Calgarians may be happy to hear hockey talk all day and all year but you can't get by in TO without speaking to the Blue Jays and Raptors. It seems like Andrew Walker is getting squeezed out and I'm sure part of that is his lacking knowledge in anything besides hockey.
