I will miss Klien's goofyness in the morning. Really liked what he brought.


Will is a good guy, and he’s coming into his own. He’s still young, and I think he’s getting better.

I don't enjoy hearing Will's thoughts on anything.

He just sugar coats so much and puts on his giant flames glasses before every remark, and is painfully predictable in his takes.

Calling games is good enough from him.

I don’t post often, but moving Will to the morning is a terrible idea, keep Klein!!!!

That’s where I’m going to listen. It’s just based on Will’s own advice on the text line to stop listening.

Think you’re referring to Derek Wills. Not Will Nault.

Hmm no, Danielle Smith is good at what she does in her slot. A comparable to her in sports would be at the Bob Mackenzie/Friedman level, no way they can afford that. Even the afternoon guy is clever.

In no way, shape or form is Danielle Smith the political equivalent of those two guys.

You’re thinking (Derek) Wills. Will (Nault) is the one who sounds like a guy at the pub after 5 drinks. Gets loud, kinda obnoxious, talks over everyone...

Stephen Brunt adds nothing with his weekly hits. I would like to see them move on from him. I always liked him from his 2010 Olympics TV montage about being Canadian and whatnot, but can't figure out what he brings to the table these days.

He's a big CFL guy. I still enjoy hearing what he has to say.

Why he's like a sober Mike Commodore.



Or Joe Colborne? Did I do that right?

Sounds like he's making a career change. Hope it works out for him.

I didn't always agree with Kent's takes but he is a smart hockey guy, I'll miss reading his stuff.

His CFL stuff is extremely repetitive. He always falls back to talking about the Argos and other awful ownership situations every single week. He's not wrong, but he's beaten it to death at this point. It seems like he doesn't do any research on the league and just resorts to this narrative constantly. Or as Boomer would call it, his "backpack topic".

He was on this afternoon as the "Stampeders Insider", so unless it was after that I think he's still there.

Nah, it’s all under the Rogers umbrella. He’s doing it to get the hours. He’s still doing hits for the Fan/ cfl stuff.
