TSN vs Sportsnet
Tomorrow is the NHL trade deadline and, in Canada, the sports networks will be battling for viewers. While The Score will also be covering the trade deadline, the real battle is between Rogers Sportsnet and TSN.
For me, the decision is easy. I'll be tuned to TSN for the most part. It's a simple decision for me since I'll take Bob McKenzie, Dave Hodge and Pierre McGuire over Sportsnet's trio of idiots in Nick Kypreos, Bill Watters and John Garrett. It seems like Sportsnet only hires buffoons as full time hockey analysts. Garrett is bad, Kypreos is worse and Watters is doing a good job of making the other two look smart.
On tonight's Hockey Central show on Sportsnet, Watters made yet another one of his moronic thoughts. He accused Marian Hossa of being a dirty player who likes to carry his stick high. Nevermind that Hossa has but one highsticking penalty this season. Watters then claimed that he still remembers Hossa highsticking Bryan Berard. Watters is clearly being petty about this because all but the dumbest Leaf fans knows that that was an isolated accident.
But if Watters wants to be petty, then I can be as well. Because of Bill Watters remarks I will never give one red cent to the Ottawa Renegades, the CFL team whose controlling owner is Bill's son, Brad Watters and Bill might be part of the group that owns the team.
Anyways, Sportsnet might report a trade 30 seconds before TSN because of Kypreos continual bootlicking of his fellow NHLPA members but TSN actually has people with integrity on its broadcast.
