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

Growing up in Lacombe in the 80's, I couldn't even guess how many hours I spent listening to John Short on my radio at night when I should have been sleeping. Another sporting voice from my youth gone silent. Big loss for the Edmonton sports community.
