When I think of older TV guys, I immediately think of John Shannon (crusty old man), Doug MacLean (confused old man), Don Taylor (moron), Cherry (nuff said), Ron Maclean (nuff said), etc.
Can't think of many radio guys who were well past their prime except Mike Rogers. He seemed to get kinda pessimistic and disgruntled towards the end of his run. Like he'd lost passion for the game or had become so accustomed to the Flames defeat that he was the eternally negative guy.

You can’t spell “old timers rambling” with “radio”.
When you hang around pro sports for 30, 40, 50 years, you collect a lifetime of great stories that you can draw on to fill time. You get to see big figures at big moments doing incredible things. Stories you can’t possibly touch with your experiences at SAIT broadcasting school.
Radio is storytelling, at the end of the day; I think the last natural storyteller the Fan had was Kerr.
Peter Maher was a masterful storyteller.
Who tells a good story on the Fan?
