FAN960 News - Elliott Friedman Returns tomorrow (Jan 6, 2017)

I wonder if maybe mothercorp maybe let him know he should get out more to sell the brand. You can see right in this thread that he produces ratings. After all, baseball season is right around the corner.

You go on radio to be heard.
You want people to react.

But you don't want people to repeat what you say and potentially get it out of context?

Seems like he was chasing a rainbow on that one.

Agreed. Maybe he needs to take a page out of the Eric Francis handbook and not give a #### what people think. Wow never thought I'd say that

The reason he stopped is because things he said got twisted around and his sources were coming to him and asking about stuff he supposedly said, which he didn't.

So he can tell them that. There's no avoiding it in his line of work and he had a bit of a sulk about it. I love Friedman, I was butthurt when I found out he was boycotting Calgary. Glad he's back.
