Remember back when we were all (well I know I was) thinking there was some sneaky double secret reason they moved the game?

Well I've come up with a new theory. I just noticed Nigel Reid and Jason "I love the L'imp act and want to have Sutton's children" Devos are in China for the Olympics. I assumed they'd call the games from a studio but I guess it's cheaper to fly to Beijing than it is to fly to Salt Lake, who woulda thunk it!?!

Maybe CBC wanted the game moved so they wouldn't have to be caught with no announcers.

That makes a bit more sense than, oh we're getting a DP

Except that the game is on The Score. Not CBC.

That's the thing. By moving the game to the 14th of June CBC got a home game with their announcers, alternatively the game during the olympics became a road game, which they usually pawn off on sportsnet or the score.

They moved it to accomodate a lacrosse camp in Denver for high school kids.

I am not making this up.

Okay Exiled...now you can fire away with the "fail"s

I stand corrected. That said every opportunity I get to take shots at Devos is worth it. The worst was as I was leaving Sunday they had him blaring on the speakers at BMO. Cruel and unusual punishment. Worse than waterboarding!

Eh? I could've sworn Nigel and Jason were in Toronto calling this morning's match on a monitor.

I watched the highlights of the game on cbcsports.ca and Don McLean said Nigel and L'impact lover were in China.
