VPjr Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Folks....we need to take our attention off the CSA for a minute to fight another fight. Word has leaked to me that Sporstnet.ca, in their infinite wisdom (or lack thereof), are seriously considering the cancellaton of Ben Knight's weekly column because he's not an on-air talent. They want to only promote the blogs and columns of their generally boring on air personalities. That means more of Gerry Dobson sucking up to the CSA. Ben has been a loud voice for our cause. He's the fan in the pressbox. We must do whatever we can to help him. Please send your emails to: feedback@sportsnet.rogers.com Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Knight Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hey guys!! Please hold that thought!! Dan's a good guy, and he's getting swamped. Please hold off for the moment. I'll see what I can do about finding an appropriate place for your e-mails to go. Thanks! // Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Portugal Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 done and done p.s. why in the world is sportsnet going to take his column away??? THAT IS SO STUPID! If anything he should be an on air personality and have a bigger platform to write...honestly wow. Sometimes i wonder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPjr Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Did you hear that Ben.....you're gonna need to get a haircut, buy a velour blazer, $300 jeans and start getting manicures because we want you ON AIR. You can't go on air at sportsnet unless you are a hipster, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest speedmonk42 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I first read it as "Save Ben Knight". I thought bibles were going to be involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvroArrow Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 What would they replace him with? More indepth poker coverage? Sometimes I get the Sportsnet stations mixed up with Casino & Gaming TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beaver Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Done. Told Sportsnet that even if they have to give him a haircut and subsidize a new suit and get him on air, they MUST keep one of the few voices in Canadian football media that actually gets it right. And cares. Maybe he can sue for wrongful hiring/firing. {Did Linford hire him?} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
