    I am on record as being a huge swirsky fan. Yes he was a knob, but he was our knob. And I do think that he added wins to our teams when he was the commentator. Someone should sleep with his wife so they break up and we get get them back. I vote Heinz!
    Chuck was the dude! Let's bring him back!

    Heinz...what say you? Will you take one for the team?

        I am on board for that. Guy called everything on spot.

        I want Chuck back, guy is too good to be doing radio commentating.

        Is it just me, but when Chuck left, we started losing games?
        very true... weve been the Craptors ever since Chuck left... its the curse of the swirsk LOL

          I wonder how bad Devlin's presence is if you get Devlin to play-by-play for the Heat, do you think they will become a sub-0.500 team?

            Hold the phone...someone (apparently a few people) actually liked Chuck as an announcer? Now I've heard it all. Not saying Devlin is great, but Chuck was such a homer and a suckup.

            Though they haven't exactly had the easiest job in the world. I've felt sorry for them many times, trying to fill in the gaps in another blowout loss.

              Chuck was great. I think the majority of fans loved him. Matt Devlin is really trying and I guess he is all right but somehow it seems as he doesn't fit. Or maybe I am just used to listen to Chuck.

                  I somehow doubt Devlin was ever really meant to be a long term replacement...I wonder if Eric Smith will ever move up from radio to TV. He'd have to be able to do a different role though.

                    Eric Smith? No thanks..not a big fan of him or Jonesy...or anyone really. But it's not like we're spoiled around here.

                      I don't know, in terms of our team coverage, we have decent crews. Most teams have pretty bad commentators doing their own coverage. Even nationally there's some people I really can't stand *cough* Reggie Miller*cough*Bill Walton* I was pretty happy when Walton stopped working the national games.

                          I get the sense. You don't like football in general.

                          As someone else pointed out. In Hamilton(where I live), Regina, Montreal, Both coasts. Basically every place outside the GTA. Especially, outside Ontario. You can talk about that provinces CFL team and even the CFL for three times as long as the raptors.

                          In Regina, they made a cereal called "Fantuz Flakes" named after the Roughriders most popular player and the stuff was practically jumping into peoples buggies. If you don't believe me, I will find several articles to back it up.

                          The CFL is no longer some joke of a league, with two teams sharing a name. Those days are well past.

                          When I go to games. The fun, even off the field is enough to lighten the mood of scrooge.

                          On Labour Day, it's always sold out. People who don't even care that much about football go to just make fun of the argos and their 100 fans that show up.

                          On a personal level, I like the CFL better than the NFL, especially as far as excitemwnt.The pace is so much quicker.

                            He's from Hamilton, it's not his fault!

                              In terms of Canadian merchandise sales, the Riders only trail Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadians! I think that would definitely surprise most people in Toronto.


                              http://www.canada.com/sports/footbal...557/story.html

                              (In 2010, the Riders sold a whopping $10 million in team merchandise — everything from jerseys to hats to dog leashes to motor oil — to give them the third-highest sales of any Canadian sporting team. Only the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens sold more.)


                              I'm not sure where the raps would fall on that list...

                              On another note, I'm trying to imagine the Swirsky calling some CFL games. I wonder who would break out the Salami and Cheese for him!
