I'll defer to Jiri re Boomer, since he is/was in the business, but Warrener always struck me as a lazy ex-jock who just mailed it in and contributed little, aside from an occasional locker room insight. I hope they can find some retired guy who is more studious/curious - I think Krahn would be good (not sure if he would be interested), don't know enough about Stajan. I get that they are pitching to the lowest common denominator, but it would be good to have some intelligence to set that off. Pinder was solid in that role. Richards worked because he managed to combine low-brow humour with some intelligence and ability. It's tough to find that if you are paying $15/hr to the next SAIT grad in line. I am assuming Warrener made good radio money, so hopefully there is a bit of a budget for a decent replacement.
