Default Dave Randorf No Longer at Sportsnet

https://www.torontomike.com/2020/08/...-at-sportsnet/

Never like to celebrate someone losing their job, but I don't think this is surprising with Chris Cuthbert's great addition to SNET.

Wasn't a fan of Randorf's style personally.

I also reached out to Brendan Dunlop, the Sportsnet anchor, who could not confirm his status with the company. I don’t believe they have renewed his contract, and he’s a free agent. Sportsnet seems to push a dozen or so people off a cliff every year, and their turnover rate is staggering. TSN does not treat its employees that way.
Anywho I was not a huge fan of Randorf's voice but he seems like a professional, impartial guy. Hope he finds work somewhere.

This was my thought as well, I liked him much more doing football than hockey. I hope he lands on his feet.

That said, I really hope he doesn't end up being the Flames pbp man if we do move to TSN next season.

One of the tougher careers to be in with games every week and hundreds of people on the internet watching and providing their anonymous expert opinions on how bad you are at doing your job.

I have always liked Randorf going back to his days at TSN. I know the dream for most of these sports media guys is PBP but a lot of them aren't cut out for it and he's one of them. He's better as a host like when he was doing the CFL panel.

Unfortunate, but not crying over it.

Wasn't a fan of his anti-flames calls regardless of which team they were playing. Not a great way to make fans for yourself.

He was passable as a football PBP man.

Was bad at hockey PBP.
