Sportsnet pre-game and intermissions are impossible to watch. I have watched Ron MacLean since his CKRD days in Red Deer and he was an obnoxious dick even back in the 70's.
Strombo was a huge mistake.

In the fact that I think they actually nailed it, but were unwilling to give him some time to grow into the role.

Ron Maclean. That guy is insufferable.

He's like a low-budget 'Gord Downie' knockoff.

Sorry Ron...you'll never be Gord Downie. Stop trying. Its insulting and more than a little sad.
