Getting Neilson out of U of A was an interesting move because you have to start grooming people. You know who's an interesting thought is a guy like Darrin Bauming. Doesn't he do some Bisons PBP or am I crazy? I wonder if he has aspirations for the big leagues... Well he's 73. Cuthbert is 62. our own Bob Irving is 70. Yes they need new blood, but it's too bad the guys like Cuthbert aren't there to mentor the next generation. I think Bauming would be an excellent addition to the CFL broadcast spectrum. Mr Dee 1
Noeller Posted June 5, 2020 Report Posted June 5, 2020 Even as a panel host, replacing Rod Smith, who could jump to a more full time PBP role. I'd be okay with that, I think. But again, none of those guys... Smith, Miller, Black.... Are getting any younger. It's a balance, because you need someone old enough to have experience, but also young enough to not seem like the crypt keeper in the booth....
rebusrankin Posted June 5, 2020 Report Posted June 5, 2020 HELL NO to Rod Pederson! Noeller, you need some form of punishment for suggesting that. bigg jay, Noeller, Dr Zaius and 2 others 1 1 3
Mr Dee Posted June 5, 2020 Report Posted June 5, 2020 31 minutes ago, Noeller said: By the same token, I wonder if they reach out to Rod Pedersen. I know what we all think of him, but for some reason he has a lot of goodwill built up in CFL circles and has a lot of years of CFL PBP experience. Curious if he's a name passed around. I agree with you about Peterson. They will just have to brainwash him to flush Rider green from his memory banks. Perhaps, locked up, forced to watch several hours of Trump briefings. Or is that too much? Noeller 1

Maybe he knows something about what will happen to the CFL in the future if they don’t play this year. This might be an indication of Cuthbert being worried about a CFL season and moving an advance.
Floyd Posted June 5, 2020 Report Posted June 5, 2020 Rod Pederson... that's the funniest thing I've read on this forum for a long long time Hire Durant as his partner while you're at it rebusrankin 1
Noeller Posted June 5, 2020 Report Posted June 5, 2020 I don't think CC leaving has anything to do with the CFL and it's future. It's purely the opportunity to be in the biggest chair for the biggest sport in this country. And likely a very very big paycheque. Mr Dee and Bigblue204 2

Even though we have not been subject to Mr Black for a while, how can you forget what a doofus he can be? I have no idea what kind of PBP guy Pedersen can be, but I’ve heard he can handle a mic. I do know what kind of PBP guy Black is, and that’s more than enough proof for me.
Brandon Posted June 5, 2020 Report Posted June 5, 2020 Pederson is so unlikable regardless of his Green goggles. No way in heck they'd hire him. I can't imagine it being that hard to find a PBP guy... even our local radio guys (Moore/Edmonds) could do the job.

Calling one sport does not equal calling all sports. They're all quite different...especially at the highest level. The more I think about it, the more I think Gord Miller will move up a spot and take over the West broadcasts with Suitor, and Black/Forde will stay in the East broadcasts. Grey Cup "A Team" TBD.....

Jpan85 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Posted June 5, 2020 Wonder if they look at Marshall Ferguson he knows the game has been doing PxP for a few years now. Floyd, JCon, blue_gold_84 and 3 others 4 2

You know this from experience? I have never done radio PBP but I'm pretty sure that if I were calling the Grey Cup I would be able to figure out how to say Harris takes the hand off for 6 yards instead of "Keith Urban you're my idol *slobber* *slobber*". Tonnnnnnnnnnes of PBP guys do multiple sports it's not that hard. Football I'd imagine being easier since it's far slower then Hockey/Basketball. rebusrankin 1

Taylor from 2 years ago would have been fine but since taking the job in Regina, he's gone full 4-Stripe. No thank you! He's on the payroll... he'll do what it takes to appease the masses... I think he'd be plenty impartial if he went back to a national gig...

Rod Black says dumb things but he doesn't outwardly cheer for ONE team... Suitor does. Pederson is a disciple. I think its time for a female voice as PBP instead of more old white guys...

TBURGESS Posted June 5, 2020 Report Posted June 5, 2020 I think I'll send in a tape where I do play by play in an Eeyore voice. I'd still be better than Rod Black. JCon, MOBomberFan and Mr Dee 2 1

Stickem Posted June 5, 2020 Report Posted June 5, 2020 BIG HIT losing Cuthbert....I just don't see a replacement anywhere that will fill his shoes...TSN and the CFL are going to miss this guy...What a crappy year this is turning out to be rebusrankin, DR. CFL and Mr Dee 3
Mr Dee Posted June 5, 2020 Report Posted June 5, 2020 Well, at least our last memory of Chris Cuthbert calling a football game will have been our Grey Cup victory over Hamilton! Good luck Chris! Noeller 1

Good luck Chris! Cool story from Darrin Bauming today....said that he was traveling with Cuthbert during GC104 week, and Cuthbert said he'd called a GC win for every franchise except Wpg. He completed the set in November, and then called it a career... Mr Dee and Stickem 2
