Bell Media on Jan. 28: "Mental health is important."
Bell Media on Feb. 9: "Let's shut down several of our radio stations and not tell our employees first."
What a joke.

As someone who guested often on all three of the now-former TSN radio stations in Hamilton, Vancouver and Winnipeg, I’d like to say thanks to their hosts, producers and listeners. Very sad for all absorbing today’s news.

It’s heartbreaking to see so many of my dear friends and colleagues in WPG, VAN and HAM lose their jobs, including you, Troy, as well as @JimTothSports, @IllegalCurve and so many others, too numerous to mention. I’m just gutted for all of you. 💔 🙏

Bell Media dropped TSN 1290 in Winnipeg, TSN 1040 in Vancouver & TSN 1150 in Hamilton this morning with little to no warning, moving away from all sports radio.
Vancouver’s cut off mid-broadcast & immediately played Green Day’s Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life).

Naturally, Bell expects criticism for how it has treated its dedicated media employees. That criticism will have no effect. And Bell will expect to lose some of those ex-workers as listeners and viewers. But it won’t want to lose anyone else. Your choice.

Seriously just imagine you fire a bunch of people and then play them off with Good Riddance (time of your life)? It feels like a sketch. Like something Mr. Burns would do. Just absolute out of touch corporate asshole monsters.
In closing, fuck Bell.
Tim Preston retweeted
Apparently Bell fired people at Vancouver's TSN1040 mid-show. No warning. No hints.
Gave the staff just a few minutes to pack their shit up and leave.
Bell collected $122 million in wage subsidies to prevent people from being fired. 🤷♂️

8044 players are listed as having played one NHL game since 1917 as of today. Tonight Shea Weber becomes the 349th to play his 1000th. He's been an outstanding captain and a great defenseman throughout his career. So happy to have him. Congrats Shea!

I've spent the majority of my life working with and talking about the NHL alumni. This is the greatest thing their association has ever produced. I've lost many to cancer including my father & a six year old niece. For everybody fighting, grind it out. Old Adams division hockey..
Teammates in battle, far beyond the ice. 💜
Cancer is not a solo fight, it requires support. Our team at the #NHLAlumni Association wants to echo this message. Whether it be a teammate, a loved one or a friend, we all have someone in our lives we fight for.

Saddened by the news of the passing of Sir Sean Connery. A wonderful man who I had the pleasure of working with in Time Bandits. We crossed paths many times over the years. Such immense talent and a vibrant human. And the only one of us to find The Holy Grail.
