Also, they laid off a lot of people to make that set. At least they have their priorities right... *sigh*

It does suck that a lot of people employed by Rogers that may not have even been involved directly with RSN may have been axed because of this new NHL deal but that is the nature of big business.

Because business casual is the better of the two evils instead of hipster - especially on 40+ year olds. I'm a young guy, but still prefer the professional look of HNIC past. George S and others on the broadcast are getting up there in age (if not already). Nothing worse than wearing clothes that doesn't fit your age group. Trying to move totally casual has failed miserably in the past. Remember when Sportsnet tried it years ago with the pizza party and whatnot on the casual set? What a disaster. Business casual is a good in between to not look hipster, or too dressed up to look uptight.
