Well put Fred. Something nice to say about the CBC and the Canadiens.
The CBC should do more shows like this. I'm not really a huge sports fan but it was interesting and engaging Television. I'd love to too see a documentary on the leafs and some of Canada's other sports teams.
As opposed to something the sports channels would do the CBC didn't produce some cliché "rah rah" "110%" "no I in team" documentary.
Being from Montreal but now happy to live in the GTA. I would love the leafs to bring to my home town the Stanley Cup.
January 25, 2009 / 20:11
The only thing more irritating than a Habs fan is Georgie Strombo himself.
Firstly you have his obvious lisp which is kind of strange considering he's a host of TV show. Don't they screen for people with speech impediments?
Along with that, his over gushing of any person he interviews irritate me beyond belief.
Outside of that, congrats to the Habs on their 100 years - may you never win another game.
January 25, 2009 / 20:41
Good program. George just loves himself just a little too much.
January 25, 2009 / 23:26
Fred, you almost made me well up a tear when I read your entry. You see, I'm not that wrong, all the time. I'm glad you could look past all the hate and feel proud of our hockey history here in Canada. One hundred years of history and counting. All teams and players, past and present! Glow.....we deserve it!
Argie? You are a real lost soul aren't you? Eh?
January 26, 2009 / 08:05
I only caught a few minutes of the Habs show, but I've seen George in a few other things. He has got to be the worst host/interviewer living or dead.
As Argie and Sal said, he's full of himself and gushes all over his guests. There's zero follow-up questions from anything they've said. He interupts their answers. He's bouncing around like he has ADD.
Too long on over production and too short on talent.
January 26, 2009 / 09:48
Wow Fred praising a CBC production. Zoot Alors!!!
Strombo's an akk round good guy.
Argie shameful comments.
Leave him alone
January 26, 2009 / 11:09
Sorry bingham for speaking ill of your boy. I feel shame......
And Mike from L, don't ever change, you keep me in stitches.
January 26, 2009 / 11:30
I did not see the Habs thing but I like George. He has the only compelling show still on CFNY. Sundays 4-7 I think. full of himself? Maybe, I don't watch much television so I've never watched the hour but I've always liked his radio personaity.
January 26, 2009 / 15:13
It was a great special. Strombo did do a great job...but, man does he love himself.
January 26, 2009 / 17:13
Sal - You couldn't be any further from the truth. Period.
January 26, 2009 / 17:18
Sammi - I'll presume you're not the guy we used to call'Lunch Boy' back in the edge days of the 1990's. He wasn't that stupid and he didin't hide behind the internet.....ever. This talk of George 'lovig himself' makes me laugh. Out loud. LOL! Trust me, having worked at cfny from 1988 until 2004, there is ahsit load of people who absolutely LOVED themselves in that period of time. Interestingly enough, the biggest 'celebs' from 1988 til 2004 - Sheppard, Dani, Deadly Headly, George, and our best buddy Freddie P - they were the best to work with and had the smallest ego's. My two cents.
January 27, 2009 / 09:56
Everyone in media has a big EGO.
January 27, 2009 / 10:55
Thanks Neil for confirming what Jake wrote....all you media guys have big egos and you are all in love with each other and yourselves. You always pat each other on the back and tell each other how wonderful you all are.
The blog here is for people to write comments and opinions...how is that hiding behind the internet??? If that's the case....get rid of this blog then. What a stupid comment.
January 27, 2009 / 11:26
Sammi - I agree with you 100%.
Why is it when someone posts a comment about a radio or TV personality, certain members of that fraternity feel the need to jump in and insult the person who has given an opinion? The main purpose of a blog is to provide everyone a vehicle in which to state their opinion on a wide range of topics - including geeky, lisping, trying to hard TV hosts. Is it not?
January 27, 2009 / 11:51
I have no problems with big egos just as Jerry S had no problem with gays.
Athletes, boses, media sorts, all have inflated egos. Look at the athlete who doesn't give reporters a break during their career but once out of the limelight try to get as much ink as possible.
January 27, 2009 / 12:17
Argie and Sammi:
Why do you feel the need to take offense? You made comments about George and someone else came in and offered a different opinion (and actual informed opinion). You insulted George pretty harshly Argie. If you can't take someone responding to you; don't make the post.
January 27, 2009 / 12:25
Argie
Actually the purpose of a blog is to provide the author a vehicle in which to state there opinion. The fact that most allow others to comment is just gravy for us. If you are so intent on giving your opinion and insulting people while doing it why don't you start a Blog? Posting comments is not a right like say freedom of religion. It is a privledge.
January 27, 2009 / 12:33
James and Andrew: Fair enough, my comments were a tad harsh of Georgie but its no different than Fred giving his opinions on Ben Mulroney, Dalton McGuinty, Jack Lawton, et al.
I'm not a fan of those people either but if we all subscribed to the theory that "if you can't anything nice about someone, don't say anything" then this blog and others would be quite boring. IMHO, that is.
January 27, 2009 / 13:39
I am not saying your comments should not have been written. All I am saying is that if you write them, then be prepared for someone to come back with another opinion.
Say what you want but don't complain when someone fights back.
Man, I wish Jack Layton would respond to Fred's posts. But it would be hard for Jack to defend his own stupidity.
January 27, 2009 / 17:53
It's really this simple, If someone picks on my friend, I stand up for them. Too bad some people won't do the same. Call it my 'big ' ego, I guess.
January 27, 2009 / 19:00
Hey, blogging is a lot easier than some loudmouth barking his opinion at you like it is the only one that can exist.
Amen.
January 27, 2009 / 19:03
CBC has some good stuff. Hockey. News. Passionate Eye.
Sunday reports with Soloman and McNeil. Plus other things.
January 28, 2009 / 12:00
Neil, I'm sure George can stick up for himself. Obviously, you can offer your opinion, but don't be surprised if people don't hold George in as high esteem as you do. Not being a part of the "brotherhood" I look at his on air ability and say there are much better people who have done the job. He's no Brian Linehan.
January 28, 2009 / 20:45
Just like Canadian to shit on our own eh?
You dont' have to like him but he's accomplished alot and he did it at home and on his own terms. Case in point that he didn't whore himself out by shortening his Greek Surname when he was pressured to.
January 29, 2009 / 08:54
Nothing to do with shitting on our own. Being Canadian doesn't give him a bye to greatness. George's style isn't for me and I find it distracting and detracts from his interviews. I don't know about him on a personal level and I'm not commenting on that aspect. His on-air personality and methods leave much to be desired, and for that reason I tend to turn the channel when he's on. He may do a great job with something that scripted, like the Habs feature, but when left to his own devices he comes upshort.
January 31, 2009 / 14:15
I've been a fan of Strombo for a little over 18 months now, watching his stuff on Youtube. I must say that I like his show and his style and I'm gonna watch the Canadiens special. And I am surprised that Fred P is actually saying something nice about the Habs? But don't ever change Freddie - your blog is one of the most interesting ones out there. Peace!
December 21, 2009 / 16:11
It was a really nice thought! Just wanna say thank you for the selective information you have diffused. Just continue writing this kind of post. I will be your loyal reader. Gives Thanks over again.

Society darling LiLo (Lindsay Lohan) is to stay out of prison till the court day. Celebrity justice strikes again!!!
July 29, 2010 / 19:29
When you hold a famous person the likes of Lindsay Lohan, in jail it's a monumental problem for the penitentiary officers, they don't want that. They're suffering a lot of press and stress on their detainment facility. It gets all the other inmates provoked, it's not a good place. Due to that, they're going to want to get her out quickly without looking like she's experiencing extraordinaire treatment. At least that's what they say. Don't make me laugh! Bear in mind, Lindsay had a 90-day jail conviction, the general individual with that conviction in Los Angeles would be required to do at least 22 or 23 days. But for Lindsay, now they're alleging two weeks total, so definitely she'd be getting it better than the rest. Just goes to show get famous get away with anything. Just ask OJ!!

Erecting a Mosque at Ground Zero must be the un thought thru notion during the history of human beings, I definitely consider it is purposely devised, at very best, to insight conflict. I am not much of a conspiracy theorist although it's either shameful or hateful, more than likely both equally. addie

Wayne Rooney's marital life was under intensive pressure last evening after it was unveiled that he had a few meets with a hooker while his wife was expectant. I am hoping she divorces him like Tiger wood's wife did, Idiot. adeline

Wow!, this was such a quality write-up. Theoretically I'd like to write like that too - spending time and genuine effort to make a good page... but what can one say... I keep putting it off and do not seem to achieve anything at all. adela
September 13, 2010 / 22:10
Good luck getting people behind this one. Though you make some VERY fascinating points, youre going to have to do more than bring up a few things that may be different than what weve already heard. What are trying to say here? What do you want us to think? It seems like you cant really get behind a unique thought. Anyway, thats just my opinion.
September 15, 2010 / 03:30
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do lots of research about that. We got a great book on that matter from our local library and also most books exactly where not as influensive as your information. I am pretty glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.That made very glad Smile

You absolutely love superstar chit chat? Despise it? Will you take long lunches from employment when you are aware about the popular issue of Playboy hits the newstands? I would die to discover the amount of people today actually find superstar news exciting, and in what way many pretty much see the attraction about it plain silly.

brand-new heard of the new Kinect? Its really awesome! I never had much fun playing gaming system before, eventhough I could call myself the hardcore player this usually plays mmorpgs like Call of Duty and stuff like that. The Kinect is definitely so different than everything else I have ever played before. the motion controles work really well, and in addition to that, but not being forced to use a controller to learn is the personification of freedom! No troublesome button smashing any more, a single word will do! You should think about getting any Kinect!grab your xbox 360 now

Don't Waste The Employer's Time - A CV that is too long, with information that is irrelevant to the employer, will likely end up in the "circular file". Employers are busy, and their time is limited. A CV that wastes their time with lengthy and irrelevant information shows disrespect for someone that you are trying to convince to hire you.
November 25, 2010 / 08:09
Wow, amazing blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you make blogging look easy.

If you are sending CV to different companies, there may be danger of sending one for another. Do not give way to this kind of mistakes. Do not write the same details which are already mentioned in the CV. Do not hesitate to incorporate required changes.

The Functional CV the focus is on your career functions - i.e. an expansion on your skills performed. This format is often used for individuals / managers that are seeking a position in a different field. This CV type is also good for those for trades or technical employees employed on various short term contracts.
