Didn't know where to put this but John Short passed away today.
to be fair, I thought he was one of the few decent Edmonton media personalities, he called a spade a spade and wasn't part of the "Oilers radio network".
back in the early 90's I happened to live near Edmonton for a couple of years, listened to his show almost every night on 1260. I thought he presented a balanced non Oilercentric sports program (Unlike Stauffer and Hall)
I would wager that Rob Kerr "lifted" a lot of John Shorts style too.
E=NG
but John Short was pretty decent
