canuckbeliever Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Tyler Green @tylergreenFC 1h Heard some news today… Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes on the sports radio dial as my old friend Rick Ball is departing TEAM for "dream role". Seems like my ideal scenario of Ball as tv play by play guy and Shorthouse on radio play by play might come to fruition or at the very least a possibility.

Gross-Misconduct Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I always liked the Baller. He had the best show on the TEAM by far. After he left for the play-by-play booth, the TEAM has gone down hill hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalky Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I always liked the Baller. He had the best show on the TEAM by far. After he left for the play-by-play booth, the TEAM has gone down hill hard. Highlighted by my drive in to work this morning. Bro Jake and Douche Pratt are back to "normal" and literally not listenable. I flipped between crappy radio music and CKNW. What a drag. TEAM has indeed gone down hill.

King Heffy Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hopefully he takes over Lee's job on HNIC and Lee takes over a mute hobo's job and starves in silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flipped between crappy radio music and CKNW. What a drag. TEAM has indeed gone down hill. Bro Jake today was talking about Sean Connery and how he could still be James Bond but he'd have to wear adult diapers with flame throwers. He kept on going for almost 2 minutes. I shut it off after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickly Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm an avid Team listener and I have to admit listening to the morning show is hard. Bro Jake had no idea wtf he is talking about. He doesn't know sports like he should being a sports talk show host and is a terrible interviewer. Seems like a good guy but I donno wtf the radio network was thinking bringing him on to host their most listened to show like come on. Throw in Dave Pratt who thinks he knows more than he actually does and boom, you have a barely listenable show hosted by two numptys. I honestly prefer Rintoul over these two clowns.

canuckbeliever Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 TEAM 1040 radio is about to lose one of its top broadcasters, The Province has learned. According to sources, Rick Ball — who does play-by-play for the sports radio station’s B.C. Lions and Vancouver Canucks broadcasts — will be leaving Vancouver to take on a similar position with Rogers Sportsnet in Calgary, where he’ll call the Flames TV games in the coming season. Ball’s departure, which is expected to be officially announced this week, will leave big shoes to fill at TEAM 1040. TEAM 1040 program director Mike Whittingham didn’t return a call from The Province on Monday afternoon, requesting confirmation of the development. Ball, who has been at TEAM 1040 for 11 years, has also been a part of CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada broadcast team. Earlier in his broadcast career, Ball called games for the WHL’s Kelowna Rockets. jjamieson@theprvonce.com Moving to Calgary to call flames games Flames get Ball and Hrudey and we are stuck with Shorthouse and Garrett. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCanuck Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I disliked Ball when he did CBC for the canucks. Always so snarky and whatnot. I guess I love the homer attitude from Hughson and Shorthouse. Will suck not having Ball for BC lions games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubuya Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Let Calgary have him. Still don't get how Shorty has a homer reputation. He calls games about as unbiased as they come, while still maintaining his allegiance to the canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Industrious1 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Ball was alright, wish him the best of luck in whatever he does. Don't mind Shorty, but his voice grates on me after about two periods of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakyWalton Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Fire Jeff Patterson already! Annoying! This I agree with..his droning voice and know it all attitude drive me crazy..I literally cant listen to this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaches Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Let Calgary have him. Still don't get how Shorty has a homer reputation. He calls games about as unbiased as they come, while still maintaining his allegiance to the canucks. Exactly, Shorty is very neutral. Garrett on the other hand, now that guy's a homer, as much as I like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
