cabinessence Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 OK, kids, you've asked for it so her it is, another 5 star poll from Yours Truly! Broadcaster Dave Pratt has certainly uttered a lot of words that have become standards in popular vernacular over the years. Whether it be his trademark sign off "adios muchachos" or his insult "pinheads", his influence can be felt all over. Some might prefer his mentioning of "17 years at TSN", adding "rock 'n' roll" to describe himself and events,or when he snickers heheheh to show he knows the story, been there done that. Much has also been said of his older lines from his CHRX (rock radio station) such as "pony up the cash" or showing how cool it was when a caller was "on the cell". Ah the phrases he has touched us all with! Link to comment

Ah the phrases he has touched us all with! I like this one the best: "I'm being fired for plagiarism!" The guy knows nothing about sports. Never played sports - well. He's a younger Neil MaCrae. I kind of like him! Link to comment
MJDDawg Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I listened to Pratt when he was doing sports on LG73. I don't even listen to him and Bro Jake. Just a waste of a morning slot. Link to comment

Big Al was the real deal, Neil tried to be a character, and Pratt even more so. Link to comment
