Right now I am very disappointed at the Score TV network who are putting their gruages before professionalism as they are not airing a farewell package for Tim and Sid who have been announcers on the Score since almost the beginning and the Score has made a good chunk of money off of their talent with them doing the score tonight for years and changed how sports was reported. Also Tim has done a number of shows for the Score most notably NBA court surfing and the NCAA March Madness which was so good that it was picked up the 3 letter while Sid did like the Score on the NFL. They were the faces of the Score and even when guys like Elliot Freeman went to the corporation and Cabbie went to the 3 letter along with James Cybulski, Sara Orlesky, and Steve Kouleas while the net grabbed Martine Gaillard and Adnan Virk went south to ESPN but through all this Tim and Sid were the Score personalities. Even Sirius 98 the score was mostly drive by the Tim and Sid: uncut podcast which ran a week or two into September and was like constantly at the top of itunes most listened to podcast on a daily bases.
Why are they not given Tim and Sid the respect they deserve it comes down to Sid Seixerio and his big mouth as on the second final podcast he ripped into the Score for having the taping of the NFL on the Score weekly show start taping at 5 PM so they had to cut the podcast short. Also my research has found out that Sid was the original one to sign a contract with Sportsnet 590 and has been basically out the door since he was taken off the air of the Score on the NFL which happened mid-September as his last appearance was on Gillette Drafted 3 which was all pretaped way in advance as one of the finalist went to Man U Vs Chicago Wovles which was played on July 23 which meant the finale was done in late July instead of live like before. It diffidently has been simply Sid because all his tweets are from home while Tim's tweets until University Rush ended was hanging out at the Score with Greg Sansone who is the program director.
Even though Sid wanted out most likely because of not being on air as much and Sportsnet 590 coming up with a great contract for him and he got Tim to sign on too their podcast is no longer on the score's website even though they have classic Cabbie bits like 6 months to a year after he left and Gerry Dee who has really not done anything for the score in quite a while and has a stand-up comedy tour and in the new year will have his own TV show @ the corporation but he still has stuff up on the website.
I hope a video package airs in the week leading up to their return
