Gene Valaitis Checks In From Southern Cal

March 28, 2007 @ 10:02

Fred,

"I've just caught up on what's been happening back at home thanks to your wonderful blog-o-la and it hit me. Toronto is living in some sort of strange time warp where nothing changes.

It's been more than 4 years since I left Toronto for Hong Kong, Dallas and now California, but I could have easily dated items from this week's Freddie P Blog from 3 or 4 or even 5 years ago.

Think about it. Here they are in a "nutshell"

-The Leaf suck
-Mats Sundin makes a lot of money, but see the above point
-Leaf Management blows it again. This time with Rick Vaive
-An NHL player is knocked out in a fight and people wonder out loud if
fighting in the NHL will ever stop. Within weeks or another good fight we
could care less
-Restaurant Reviewer Chris Zelkovich is still writing about sports media
which makes as much sense as William Houston in The Globe who hasn't left
his basement in years
-Another election in Quebec? Are you kidding me? Stop it, I'm killing
myself laughing. Outside of the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal-Quebec City
corridor, no one covers it or gives a crap
-God Bless Stormin Norman. He continues to outlast everyone of us who
wishes we could still make a killer pay cheque in radio
-John Oakley remains one of the most intelligent, talented, articulate,
word-smiths in radio who can't get an audience
-I suppose Peter Mansbridge is still hosting The National
and I would hope by now that CITY-TV finally has a blind reporter

What year is it???????????"

-Thanks as always for your GREAT Blog-

Gene

I always loved the Jesse & Gene show way back when - does anyone know why they left Q107?

Ah yes, Gene V. who personally brought down that CHUM sports radio attempt. The worse radio program ever on Canadian airwaves was that Gene show from 10 till 12. No wonder that loser is trying to sell medicine bracelets out of the trunk of his car.

I love Jessie and Gene. Toronto radio was never the same when they left. I grew up listening to them and I have followed them up and down the dial.....I love them so much I even named my dogs after them. They need to be picked up by a toronto radio statiion to resume the Jessie and Gene show grown up edition.
