On the Onrait front, when TSN finally called up Calgary sideline reporter vet Jermain Franklin a few months ago and made him an (occasional) anchor, I was actually very impressed and surprised to see how well him & Jay clicked when he filled in for a vacationing O'Toole for a few days. Especially after NFL night games..you could tell he's a legit big NFL fan. He has that same dry wit and they seemed really comfortable together, he even genuinely made Jay crack up a couple times.
Obviously with the new title of the show: "Jay on SC", I'm guessing he'll be hosting solo..but I'd like to see those 2 paired up again, even occasionally. Happy to see Jermaine getting a long overdue push too, I just assumed he was happy being a Calgary-based sideline guy forever.
