Toronto Blue Jays Warwagon

[ChaosOverkill]

The sad reality, is even if the Jays are in the WS, if the leafs win 5 in a row in the late October THAT, will dominate the headlines.

That wasnt true in 92-93 and I doubt it's anymore true in 2015. October hockey means nothing and the World Series is actually difficult to get into. They don't let more than half the league in the playoffs in baseball.

Different world than 92-93. I'm slightly exaggerating but the every October they have slight success the Toronto media talks of them being playoff contenders and nothing else even if there are other stories.

Of course they will cover the Jays, but if the Leafs go on a streak the sportsnet will make a big deal of it either way. The Raptors were good last year and playoff bound and throughout it all, the Leaf futility and who was staying ans who was going was more talked about on the fan590 than the Raptors (who got coverage) but the question "Will Phill Kessel be traded" was asked no less than 50 times a day while the team quit on the coach.

When other teams suck they get buried in Toronto, when the Leafs are anything they get consistent coverage, if you look back at stories on the Sportsnet faebook over the summer, you'll see Leaf stories on days/weeks where there was literally nothing else going on but Bluejays baseball.

The biggest difference is that in 92-93 the Leafs were actually news worthy. Will it get coverage? Of course. Will it usurp a World Series run? Not even a little.

Especially when you factor in that Sportsnet owns the BlueJays, likes money, and not many outside of Toronto or the maritimes have any use for the Leafs.

*shrug* believe what you like, again I'm exaggerating but even October wins register bigger than they should for the Leafs.

Rogers owns half the Leafs and Raptors too not to mention the broadcast rights to NHL, their biggest interest for ad money is the NHL right now. That's why there is always this hope the Leafs make at least one playoff round, Rogers makes a ton in ad money for those 4-7 games.

I believe money dictates coverage. That's why the Leafs are top news, they're the biggest market. The Blue Jays, when they're winning, are a much larger market.

Again, I am exaggerating, but I guarantee I will reading stories about how the Leafs are ahead of some rebuild schedule if they win some games is more my point.

Realistically no, you're right, it would be stupid for Rogers to focus on the Leafs in october, but I get surprised by that network all the time in negative way.

They brought me WWE network, carry all the Jays games, and gave Tim and Sid a tv show. I preferred their radio show, but I'm a happy camper.

Jeff Blair, BRady and Walker, Morning show all unlistenable to me now. I'm a McCown fan and liked Tim and SId so now I have McCown and can't listen to Tim and Sid.

The rest is drivel to me. I don't need the WWE Network, so that's what I mean in negative.

I don't like the majority of the changes going back a year.

[ShatsBassoon]

remember this like it was yesterday

[ChaosOverkill]

and soon McCown is likely gone which will make the entire Radio Lineup pandering monkey garbage of B and C talent. I'm not impressed with them.

I don't live in Toronto so aside from Tim and Sid and McCown, I don't listen to any of it anyways. For 12 bucks or whatever it is, I love the WWE network.

Music on the radio is a write off on FM to me so it has been my go to while working, school or otherwise for 25 years. It has slowly shriveled into McCown now and he's bored even with his ratings hold three times over, over TSN's equivalent and the rest of AM radio.

WGR550 in Buffalo actually holds more interest now and it is sad because a year ago when Tim and Sid were still on it all afternoon was great to me.

They had a 2 hour block here in Ottawa too, and that got replaced by some other hockey show. I listened once and shut it off. TSN radio is the fucking worst. They cancelled Jim Rome so they could add yet another c level talent 3 hour hockey show.

Yeah I know, that kind what I mean by the pandering to hockey people that will listen to "Can the x do the x? Is X looking good in pre-season ball check???" 600 times a day. It's annoying.

In Ottawa they only have hockey shows. Yes, I'm serious. Then when something big happens in another sport they pretend to know what the fuck they're talking about.
