Has anyone in their right mind ever described Rob Kerr as having a short fuse or being a loose cannon?

Short fuse I'm ok with, because he got pretty volatile by the end of his stint on Overtime.

Loose Cannon? What? What does that even mean?!

You're a loose cannon Kerr .... YOU'RE OFF THE AIR!

Who took that photo? The mailroom kid on his cell phone while running out for lunch?

It's to make him look tough. He's far from tough looking, so he needed the aid of the sun to morph his face into such a hard nosed look.

Did they mention if he'd be the host of Flames games again too? I think Steinberg did a decent job but Kerr is better.

Awesome news that he will be back on the FAN! Kerr is passionate, knowledgeable and well prepared. The afternoon show is infinitely better with him there.

Interesting that they fired Leslie due to budget reasons and now hire Kerr. Don't get me wrong, I am delighted that Kerr is back to radio to what he's great at but maybe the firing of Leslie wasn't due to budget reason? Anyways great news. Finally don't have to listen to Toronto radio in the afternoons.

I don't konw if Warrener has taken too many shots to the head or if he's just laconic, but this is a bad idea.

Rob Kerr doesn't do well around loose cannons...

I really hope they don't bring Loubardias back for the TV pbp. His knowledge of the game is great, but he's still pretty shrill, and he still says "geem" instead of "game"

between the 3 guys in that clip you have some of the funniest (un-intentional) things ever said on TV

Glad to have Kerr back on the radio

I'll never forget Lou's "Oh my goodness!!" When Kipper stoned the Canucks. I liked Loubardias.

This is great!

I really like Kerr on radio. Kerr and Steinberg will be a fantastic team.

I think Loubo is best where he is... he is also great on the Fan.

He was great on Overtime -- he'd rip peeps to shreds before they'd finished the start of their argument. Short fuse? Oh yah.

Always figured Brad Curle was the next guy in line after Maher retired. He's a little rough at times and says things that NHL guys shouldn't say, but I think he calls a great game and has the potential to become really good. Still miss him in the 'Bridge.
