Bell Media on Jan. 28: "Mental health is important." Bell Media on Feb. 9: "Let's shut down several of our radio stations and not tell our employees first." What a joke.

As someone who guested often on all three of the now-former TSN radio stations in Hamilton, Vancouver and Winnipeg, I’d like to say thanks to their hosts, producers and listeners. Very sad for all absorbing today’s news.

It’s heartbreaking to see so many of my dear friends and colleagues in WPG, VAN and HAM lose their jobs, including you, Troy, as well as @JimTothSports, @IllegalCurve and so many others, too numerous to mention. I’m just gutted for all of you. 💔 🙏
Much love and respect to the entire TSN1290 team and all involved with the Bell Winnipeg team. We had a lot of fun. Doors close, doors open. Thank you to all of our listeners. It has been a pleasure to debate and discuss the teams and sports we so dearly love.

Bell Media dropped TSN 1290 in Winnipeg, TSN 1040 in Vancouver & TSN 1150 in Hamilton this morning with little to no warning, moving away from all sports radio. Vancouver’s cut off mid-broadcast & immediately played Green Day’s Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life). #BellLetsCut

Naturally, Bell expects criticism for how it has treated its dedicated media employees. That criticism will have no effect. And Bell will expect to lose some of those ex-workers as listeners and viewers. But it won’t want to lose anyone else. Your choice.

Seriously just imagine you fire a bunch of people and then play them off with Good Riddance (time of your life)? It feels like a sketch. Like something Mr. Burns would do. Just absolute out of touch corporate asshole monsters. In closing, fuck Bell.

Apparently Bell fired people at Vancouver's TSN1040 mid-show. No warning. No hints. Gave the staff just a few minutes to pack their shit up and leave. Bell collected $122 million in wage subsidies to prevent people from being fired. 🤷‍♂️

8044 players are listed as having played one NHL game since 1917 as of today. Tonight Shea Weber becomes the 349th to play his 1000th. He's been an outstanding captain and a great defenseman throughout his career. So happy to have him. Congrats Shea!

#MTLvsEDM It might be helpful @Sportsnet to mention that #Shore made absolute no attempt to move out of the way of his goalie making it difficult to maneuver. The right call was made. #Habs #Oilers #NHL
Yesterday only confirmed the undeniable and pathetic history of #America. These Divided States are headed down a very slippery slope which will lead to further chaos, anarchy and civil war. D-S-A! D-S-A! #DSA #dividedwestanddividedwefall
Watching #CANvsRUS and #Askarov losing his stick. The last time I saw a goalie play that much without a stick, his name was @RawMikeRichards and he did it on purpose.
It's official but well known for some time. The @dallascowboys suck and it couldn't happen to bigger wanker of an owner than #jerryjones. #noplayoffs #byebye

youtu.be/cMBLn_q0oY0 Our 1st radio spot thanks to @RawMikeRichards We can’t thank you enough for all the support
Uh oh #dansnyder! Looks like your penchant for ruining lives and franchises has caught up with you. You are a disgrace and I hope the @NFL has the balls to make you sell the team you have destroyed since you bought it. #lookinthemirror #getout
