I will say that as much as I didn't like Strachan he did provide for a contrarian view which was entertaining at times as he always had an axe to grind with someone and his expected negative slant was at least a different opinion. Annoying for sure but if you are looking at the intermissions as a means of entertainment maybe nice to have a guy like that at the table just to break up monotony of a bunch of nice guys discussing news and rumors.

We are hard on Francis at times but if he had egg on his face even half as much as Simmons I'm sure he would have been run out of town a long time ago. I don't understand how this guy still has a job in sports media but being out west it's probably something we don't understand seeing this is clearly a Toronto thing and someone in that market must like him for reasons unknown to me.
