rogers cable not helping the WWE Network

rogers cable not helping the WWE Network by holding all other cable and Satellite providers in Canada hoist to their demands. Which means Rogers and east link cable are the only two providers in Canada so that outside of Ontario (rogers) and Quebec/Maritimes (east link) u r unable to get the network so they have to either spent 60 dollars and be called stupid or illegally stream it on web device. So the WWE is not able to reach all of their audience so that their subscriptions are less than they should be (700 k instead of closer to 800 or more) and Rogers idea is phone your cable or satellite company and demand that they give into our demands. So tonight I will be watching Royal rumble on Rogers while sadly others will have to pay 60 dollars, find it illegally, or could get out of watching Daniel Bryant win the Royal Rumble. It is sad that this is case because u give the same deal for the companies that they give their customers (11.99) and it looks less they are bullying them for their lunch money and it is not a good look for them. It is not like the other parts of the country can get Rogers because unlike the states who has numerous cable and satellite companies fighting for ur business cable companies have their regions and Bell satellite is the only coast-to-coast provider. It feels to me that Rogers is becoming more and more evil than the others even in a fix environment Tom Mehegan

nfl waiting til after the superbowl to punish the patriots

It has one of the most messiest super bowl playoffs in a long time and it will not be getting cleaned up anytime soon and playoffs this season will go down as the biggest jokes in sports history. First Ndamukong Suh gets suspended for lions wild card game vs the cowboys for stepping on Arron Rogers leg and then it is reversed and gets to play the game even though he is the dirtiest player in the NFL as he does not hide it (the others know when the cameras can not see them). Then the game happens the cowboys get call for pass interference and then the flag is picked up without any reason given and the cowboys moved onto face the packers and Dez Bryant makes a fabulous catch takes three steps and goes down has the ball on his forearm and flips over and catches the ball in the end zone without it ever touching the ground. It was reversed after review and the boys lose when they should of been up late. Then in the AFC championship game the Pats ran over the Colts numerous time in a 45-7 destruction and everything since the game has been about the balls used for the game and how the balls inflated before the game than they were deflated by game time and were replaced at halftime after being reexamined. So that the Ravens complaints the week before were proven true that the pats play with deflated balls as they brought it to the league attention that they used deflated balls against them. So now what will happen to the pats, coaching staffs (Bill Belichick) and the players (Tom Brady) but it is unlikely that the hammer will drop before the 49th super bowl so that they have a "fair" game. With that in mind there will be a ton officials watching everything before and during the game so no shenanigans happens during the biggest NFL game of the season. After the Vince Lombardi trophy is rewarded thing aBelichickre going down and it may take Brady and Belichick may go down hard in means that Brady may be suspended for maybe a half season and Belichick may be suspended for the 2015 season for the second cheating offence. They really did not get hurt from spy gate as neither Belichick or Brady got suspended while the Saints had a coordinator banned from the NFL, head coach Sean Payton got suspended, and players got suspended games. They by no means are the only ones cheating but it is about being caught and that the NFL can not get another thing rong this season. It will be interesting what will happen but no matter what their legacy is destroyed beyond repair Tom Mehegan

tim and sid going tv only as they go head to head with Bob

So to celebrate the 148th birthday (a.k.a. 48 years misery for Leaf fans) of the great country of Canada Sportsnet have to put their top dogs on TV against each other. So July 1st Sportsnet's greatest tag team tim and sid (a.k.a. sam and ted) goes up against the legendary one Bobcat (a.k.a. fado Bobcat) from 5-7. It will not be an one time thing instead it will be a Monday-to-Friday thing so finally Tim and sidizens get their time in the sun as they finally get the spotlight they deserve. It scenario that should of happened December 2011 with Tim and Sid going to the dark side (tsn radio) and battling for top brand in Canadian sports radio but Sid just did not like tsn and could not do it joining the dark side. So this could prove that tim and sid are awesome or that bob is just all powerful and his sun glasses can destroy anything and everything in their way. It could also setup a scenario where bob leaves stage right and tim and sid step into the prime time spot in a few years (less than 5). So what will happen until July 1st tim and sid will work until March 27Th while Bobcat take some of his 45 weeks vacation (ok he will be working more often than not). Then tim and sid going into hiding for more than 3 month (sid should be used to it he was in hiding as long after being sent home by the score until they could start at Sportsnet) while bobcat will wind down his year and get ready for summer vacation. Tim and sid will be figuring out what to with the two hour show as it looks like a blank sheet for them with the only promise from sid (so far) is that figure a way to put it in podcast form for team podcast. So Greg Brady will move into 1-4 with a mystery tag team partner to be announced closer to the end of March which leads into April fools and one of the biggest fools of TORONTO radio a.k.a. Dean Blundell taken over the morning show which means that Sportsnet may or may not have learned from the Andrew krystal experiment which is shock jock radio on Toronto sports radio does not fit. So good luck to tim and sid I will miss u for three month but than it is back to normal Tom Mehegan
