what we’re after is the brand of humor and general self awareness.

That’s the key with these guys, what makes them fun to watch. They never take themselves that seriously.

The “hey day” was full of catch phrases and self promotion the same as today

And people fucking loved it. Even Chris Berman. Yes, seriously.

I don’t think I heard one catch phrase but I thought it was funny.

If by watchable you mean 45 minutes of hockey coverage and zero news of college basketball or football.

Sportsnet has a half an hour show, and I shit you not, their coverage during peak months (NBA/NHL playoffs) goes like this:

Hockey highlights and analysis = 20 minutes
Baseball-related information = 4 minutes
CFL/other sports people don’t really care about = 2 minutes
NBA highlights = 1 minute

This is why I simply watch highlights on Score or NBA.com

Oh my god you mean there’s a watchable version of sportscenter but the Canadians have it? We have invaded nations for less

If by watchable you mean 45 minutes of hockey coverage and zero news of college basketball or football.

It’s terrible.

you couldn’t care less about minor-league hockey and the Canadian Football League

How dare you mock the importance of the unique brand of 3-downs-only football that is the CFL?!?

“I always looked at America as a whole as the cool, loud, brash frat brother who lived in our basement. We love to go down there and party because it’s always an awesome time, but at some point we just have to close the door.”

Now there’s a guy who wishes he were American.

he best of Canada culture (Arcade Fire, John Candy, Mike Myers) right along with the worst of Canadian culture (Nickelback, Pamela Anderson, Mike Myers)

You forgot Justin Beiber.

TSN’s not even the best sports channel in Canada – that belongs to the Score. Check out “Cabbie on the Street” via YouTube and you won’t be disappointed. He gets hilariously candid with hockey, baseball, and NBA players.
