TFC panel on OTR

[TFC Bhoy]

Just in case anyone wants to watch now or im sure it replays later, but the panel on Off the Record today is Danny Dichio, Conway, Frei and Gargan

[Carts]

They've had TFC guys on all World Cup - its been good...

Dan Gargan is excellent on the panel...

Carts...

[TFC Bhoy]

Ya I have seen Gargan on, but thought it was cool they had the whole panel of TFC guys, however I'm disappointed it was only one segment, I thought it would be for the whole panel time. booooo

A bunch of radio guys few people know are much better choices than actual athletes. :D

Landsberg was being an ass.

Landsberg was being an ass.
When is he not?

[ArmenJBX]

Landburg is a fucking asshole, who should be fired. He's basically sitting there insulting the players and the sport they play. I want to see this jerkoff take a clip to the ankle or a slide tackle, and tell me it's a pussy sport, or that "the other football, the better football" nonsense is true. Fuck him.

Landsberg was being an ass.

I watched about 1 minute of it, just to see our guys.. and as soon as he started to speak.. I stopped watching.. I honestly don't care about the opinions of 'sports journalists' especially when they try to talk about sports they don't know much about and don't really care much about..

That said.. I wish I could unsubscribe to TSN... maybe i can convince rogers to swap TSN for 24-hour Paint Drying...

[Roogsy]

Ugh...I've always seen him as a wannabe athlete.

The sports journalists that aren't retired athletes are the ones that never had what it takes to make it so they decided to go on TV. Landsberg is all of 5 foot 1 so he has a natural Napoleonic complex.

[Alixir]

Landsberg was being an ass.

he was a flat out dick. Hopefully Frie, Dichio, Gargan, and Conway tell him to pound salt the next time he asks them on the show. Classless asshole.

I am not lying when I say that I haven't watched TSN in 2 years. Their hard-on for CFL and NHL was finally enough for me.

[DichioTFC]

I'm not a Landsberg defender, but sometimes he says things to get a reaction, or says what the average moron thinks; in this case, about the World Cup being an embarrassment.

It's a good idea to have / encourage an open dialogue on ideas that may seem stupid, without insulting responses. The RPB Board should consider doing it this way one day.
;)

[JonO]

Other thank his comment about the "other football" at the end of the clip, I don't think it was that bad (even that quote isn't that bad). He's saying things to get a reaction and clearly it's working...

[billyfly]

Landsberg has freakishly small fingers. I bet Bosh's mom hand is bigger than both his hands.

[Shakes McQueen]

Landsberg was kind of being an ass, but at the same time, none of the guys were really offering much of a defense of the World Cup, haha.

When Landsberg made his quip about the referee "changing the rules" in the final, Dichio should have simply pointed out that referees let players get away with more in the NHL playoffs, too. It's the nature of "big games" - referees don't want to become the story.

Good point Scott.

[DangerRed]

Loved Gargan's face/eyeroll at the end when the host says "lots more football, better kind, up next."

:rofl:

[jabbronies]

Another clip:

[drexel10]

Landsberg is probably just trying to cater to his target audience, football, baseball and hockey fans.

You don't say.

And yet he's hosting a soccer panel...

:facepalm:

[drexel10]

Well it works, they (his target audience) laugh, you get pissed off and now you have a thread discussing Landsberg. It is an easy way to get attention in North America; where footie fans are extremely defensive about their sport.

he is a tool.. don't expect much from this piece of crap..

[reggie]

i cant stand THE SHIT NETWORK...the funny thing is that tsn2 is showing the
MAN U- CELTIC game, maybe vic will do the play by play..

[Nazzer]

it was a decent interview until the "up next we'll talk some football... the better kind"

I get that Landsberg is trying to be controversial for the show, but the whole time he was trying to get the players to admit it was wrong for the ref to have a different standard for the World Cup final than for another matc I kept thinking, what about playoff hockey in the nhl, ... if only one of the players had thought of that.

[maninb]

Landsberg should get a refund from his plastic surgeon....he's starting to resemble Joan Rivers...

[Redcoe15]

^^ :smilielol5:

[Canary Canuck]

Sir Alex Ferguson was just on OTR. Thankfully Landsberg wasn't an ass this time but still sounded like a total idiot

[Carts]

Shameless plug for my afternoon at work...

Chatted with him for 15 mins or so... Had some Irn Bru together...

Carts...

[Roogsy]

Carts...that is just plain cool bro. Lucky bastard.

And if Landsberg had've acted with Sir Alex the way he did with the TFC boys, the big boss would've ripped him a new one.

[Gixmo]

Wow, That's immense Carts...

Can you get me a date with Jennifer Hedger? Please..... I'd just like to lie in bed and have her recite meaningless stats back to me.. That's all.. what a night that would be.. Passionate..

[Roogsy]

I like Holly Horton...yummy

[Shakes McQueen]

I get the feeling Holly Horton has moved on - haven't seen her on SportsCentre in a long time...

- Scott

[Lateralus]

Holly Horton was on maternity leave the last I heard.

[Heart of Stone]

Landsburg made fun of Fergansan's socks ... what a twat!

[reggie]

any idea why the game is not on tsn 2

[Heart of Stone]

I guess because people would rather watch golf highlights and CFL ... TSN becoming the anti soccer network

[reggie]

the fuckers were promoting the game a couple of days ago...fuck i hate The SHIT NETWORK

[Canary Canuck]

Yeah wtf is up with that. They promote the game and then don't show it?? twats!

[Blizzard]

Yeah wtf is up with that. They promote the game and then don't show it?? twats!

Contractual issues with Setanta perhaps ... or could it have had something to do with the weak ticket sales and the promoter not wanting the match on live local television.

I suspect your 2nd theory is correct.

[Blizzard]

I suspect your 2nd theory is correct.

Me too.

This Landsberg clown is an ultimate asshole!
