Irving is a legend arond these parts and Lawless respects thatthis is the most accurate post here so far....
iso_55 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Apparently, Friesen did the "FULL FRIESEN" on Mike O. and it resulted in a typical bomber reaction. A veritable lockdown. How did that work out for Maggot Kelly? No problem with Wpg Media. Jimbozo Bell has already told O'Shea that Bob Irving is his official media caddy and all info goes thru CJOB BOB..... Most of the other radio outlets just wanna have fun and send reps to the game (a la Ace Burpee, Philly, Bunkhouse Buk (Wheeler), etc. The FP is the official newspaper of the Bombers and have money invested in the team . . . they don't wanna rock the boat too much so guys like Tait, Campbell, etc. serve the purpose of unofficial house organs (as opposed to the official one, Bob Irving) Lawless is the wild card at WFP as he's got the columnist license and also has the 2 hour daily radio gig at TSN. He can get a ton of digs in at the Bombers, and if they flail like last year I'm sure he'll GO NEGATIVE! TV stations in town all have significant investment/interest in bomber games. CTV is part of Bell/TSN so they simply do smile 'n giggle reports. CBC hardly does sports, but Mitch Peacock goes to all press conferences and usually gets as many questions in as Lawless or Sara O. CKND has Shoeless Joe - they don't do much other than hi-lites and a bit of grief. The Wpg boards are usually more favourable to the bombers than unfavourable, especially their own JeffBannon.com site. So in essence Friesen is the only one with Billy the Kid status, Lawless lurking about for interesting angles (so far his top one is Jeff Rabb being rebuffed by the Bomber board) CJOB - the bomber radio rights-holder is usually 90% favourable to the team (understood) and the only time Irving gets mean or nasty is during play by play when things go to heck in a hand-basket. After the losses he's usually found trying to talk people down off the ledge. Did anyone get lost 2-3 sentences into this? It was like trying to read a tolkien novel for the first time.. Well a lot of effort had to go into the nicknames. I mean, turning "Jim" to "Jimbozo"? Brilliant! Maggot Kelly was a bit underwhelming though. Kelly Savalas never caught on! btw - Maggot was Kelly Savalas' character on the great mid 60s movie THE DIRTY DOZEN. You wouldn't want to know what Maggot was all about but I'm sure you can look it up!!! You mean TELLY Savalas? Even Nate has to laugh at this... Too funny!
