Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

FTB - Patience Edition

So it looks like we'll have to be patient with Ron as he has to discuss the opening with his wife in South Carolina. I tend to agree with the suggestion that the Leafs do not want to usurp the Stanley Cup Final with an announcement and press conference. They would not want to be like that jerk A-Rod that decided to opt out of his contract and announced it in the middle of a freaking World Series game.

Anyway, I am going to assume that it's a done deal because this is Toronto and no Canadian would pass this job up. Oh yeah, turns out Wilson is not only Canadian but he's a Judas like Brett Hull. I am going to put my feelings of national pride aside for the greater good but I would rather not have learned that fact. I'll have some reaction from Sharks bloggers in the coming days and hopefully they'll help paint a clearer picture of the man that will be molding the Leafs' young players.

Onto the links and remember to toss any of your own into the comments:

  • What a surprise, TSN's new NHL deal hinged on getting lots of Leafs games. Can the rest of Canada just accept that they get the highest ratings and stop whining about Leafs overload?
  • Steve wonders why Ron Wilson would not jump at the opportunity and highlights an old quotation that makes you wonder if he's actually that interested.
  • Chemmy brings up an odd quirk about this year's SCF.
  • Eyebeleaf has the Audacity of Hope for the Leafs. Also, f*ck Hillary Clinton.
  • Sean perfects his Kerry Fraser picture.

The Leafs don’t draw TV audiences, TSN just stands for Toronto Sports Network, duh.

How stupid of me to forget that. Of course, sponsors don’t pay more for advertising with higher ratings either.

Yeah, those are all lies perpetuated by the Leaf run liberal media.

Don't forget

Bob Cole has the blue maple leaf tattooed on both buttcheeks. At least that’s what anyone outside of the GTA seems to think..

I never understood the cries of “what a homer!” from Vancouver fans when I have to suffer through listening to John Garrett carp on about the most minuscule slights to the Canucks on Sportsnet games. Now that Hughson has gone to the big show I can finally just leave the sound muted. Hooray!

Cole

I remember a Leafs/Sens playoff game in Toronto that Cole called. The next day, I had people telling me how biased Cole was because whenever the Leafs scored he would raise his voice, but when the Sens scored he wouldn’t.

I pointed out that the game was in Toronto, and there were people cheering when the Leafs scored. That hadn’t occured to them.
