This is the incentive that I needed to get on facebook. Telling fans to get lost is off the charts. What's missing IMO is the thoughtful and articulate analysis that we have come to expect from our sports journalists. Usually with a dose of compassion and a tip of the hat to the local fans.

They have a thread over at ourbombers discussing Ed Taits replacement and it's turned into an anti Lawless thread ;D

You guys are all going a little bit overboard here. Truthfully, I find Gary Lawless sometimes OVERHYPES Winnipeg:
- "We are the best sports town in Canada" - Every interview "what did you think about the crowd at the MTS Centre" - "Andrew Ladd at 4mm per year is an AMAZING deal for Winnipeg - he's one of the best Captains in the NHL" - "What's it like playing at the MTS Centre compared to ... say ... Atlanta?" (fishing for compliments)

He told Winnipeger's on 1290 this morning to:
"Freakin' shutup"
Real classy Gary, real classy!

Lawless sure didn't have a problem getting on Mike Kelly two years ago for "abusive language" with fans and listeners...Kelly got fired. Guess what Gary...telling Winnipegers to "freakin' shutup"...get ready for the french fries job at McDonalds.

TBH I'm never been much of a Lawless fan, and IF I were TSN radio I'd be on the hunt for a new partner for Hustler. The show would be more palatable for me and probably a lot of other folks.
Btw...I liked Ray Neufeld's when he was doing the Jets pre-game....is he still doing it? I haven't listened to it for awhile, as I go right to the TV broadcast on game day.

Suggest if you don't like what Lawless is doing, write/call/email TSN1290 and the WFP to express your displeasure with his reporting.

Lawless' biggest problem is that he thinks he's more important then he really is!!! Plain and simple.

I am officially throwing my hat into the ring to be the new partner of Hustler. My last name fits well with his. I'm a shoo in! Can't be worse than Lawless....when your at the bottom nowhere to go but up right?

I just unfollowed anything from 1290.
Lawless is clearly a jerk.
