Why would a Canadians fan in his or her right mind bother to watch Habs hockey on the CBC? RDS has better play-by-play, better analysis — featuring Jacques Demers! — and much, much better highlight replays. Plus their commericals are funnier and you get to work on your colloquial French.
But I can’t get on this Dump Don Cherry bandwagon. Like I said, I don’t listen to the guy, because I don’t like the way the CBC does hockey. But at least he’s got an opinion that isn’t politically correct.
On second thought, maybe I’m wrong on that. I think even Cherry hears the footsteps of the CBC thought police, now that he’s had his wrists slapped a few times. His anti-French, anti-European rants make him sound like a cheesy old fart. Plus you’ll never, ever hear Don crapping on the league or the players’ association, because he knows which hand feeds him. I figure Cherry will die in the saddle, because not even Canada’s thought police want to try to take him down.
Cherry bombs when he leaves his field of expertise, but I think he's aware of that. Too bad CBC's senior management hasn't come to that same realization about their inability to serve all Canadian hockey fans. |
