Bingo. I think this gets lost on a lot of people but Richards knew much more about sports in general than really anyone else on the 960 network. I know some people that only care about hockey don't care but under Richards there was a lot more NFL, boxing, golf, tennis and other sports talk when Richards was doing the show and it was less Flames-sentric.
That's why a guy like me has an appreciation for the Jim Rome's and Mike Richard's of the airwaves as just because we are in Canada doesn't mean we have to pretend that hockey is the only sport that exists.
