Default Elliotte Friedman gone from FAN960?

Haven't heard him in weeks? Does anyone have any news on this?

He has segments with Boomer @ 7:45 on Mondays and Fridays. I have not heard in a while.

Now it's just Boomer and Rhett making fun of Pinder and talking about nachos all morning.

He wants more Cox and Shannon.

I've been wondering this myself. I really enjoyed that segment.

Not true.

This morning they were complaining about having to do the show from the basement of a lottery home.

They're probably just trying to find a way to give us more Eric Francis.

I believe he stopped doing hockey insider segments (and I mean all radio stations not just 960) a week before the deadline. He has been threatening to stop for a while, not sure if he comes back.

I'm curious why Sportsnet would let him do this. He's basically their only insider with any credibility.

Going from CBC to this dumpster fire must be a huge strain on a guy like Friedman.

Hope he shows up beside Bobby Mac next year.

While I liked his insider segments, it annoyed the hell out of me that he couldn't at least lock himself in a nice peaceful bathroom, where the screaming kids couldn't be heard.

Elliot Friedman is the best. I like everything about him.

TSN already has the majority of credible hockey analysts under contract and **** all for them to do.

TSN and Sportsnet should make a trade. Half the NHL broadcasts to TSN for half the credible talking heads to SNET.
