Triple posts are rare. This must make the comment editorialists are masquerading as journalists true.

Re: What has happened to objectivity in the media?

When I talk about entertaining I mean Brian was so bad he was good. He became a legend in the Eskimo family the same way that a real family comes to revere the drunken uncle. Just when you wanted to boot him out of the party you realized that it would leave you with nothing to talk about the next time you had a family gathering-- so you always invited him knowing that no matter what you did you would always look good in comparison.

Believe it or not I think the Eskimo players had a fondness for Hall, if only because they knew that he rarely asked them tough questions and EE management were quite happy to have someone who never criticized them--I guess mindless sincerity is a more succint way of saying what I have said in 2 paragraphs.

That coupled with the fact that Hallsy had a unique ability to both ask and answer his own questions during an interview...made it very easy on the player...all he had to do was sit there and nod his own head up and down...kept thinking that eventually one of them might have broken out an ipod during one of Hall's interviews and just keep nodding and repeating "That's true Brian that's true"...or something like that.

If some of the media outlets in town put half of the effort into the CFL that they do into the NHL I'd be a lot happier about it but frankly I don't think a lot of them have a clue when it comes to the CFL let alone an interest. There I'll get off my soapbox.

Couldn't agree more Edmonton isn't so much a sports town as an NHL only town ... at least from the media perspective ... I personally find it boring to hear the same should a / could a / would a subjective nonsense of what might or should happen with the Oil ... during the summer I want Football ... CFL Football

My dream is to see the same type of articles that occur around NFL. Not the fluff or hype, but talk about systems, schemes, player abilities, match-ups and coaching styles. But you are right that would take knowledge and work ... it is much easier to go with what is the easiest thing to do.

Oh and when you see over 35,000 at a game ... I don't buy only hockey sells.

Campbell is surpassing Hall for in terms of annoying

Maybe he'll lead the fight song next home game!
