I get Rishaugh has a job but I think he's making it more than what it is.
|
Does anyone get WHY Rishaug has a job? It never ceases to amaze me who gets these plum gigs. Did Rishaug do anything besides being a plug WHL player? He got a job as a sports reporter in Kamloops when he's like 21 - just after he stopped playing hockey. Five years later and he's in Edmonton on TSN after really brief stops in Sudbury and Saskatoon. You'd think there'd be lots of applicants for those kind of jobs so why do we get this guy with virtually no insights, sources, etc. Does his dad know someone or something?
I mean, at least Mark Spector went to university for journalism and wrote at the Gateway there so you can kind of understand how he got his start, and he just happened to be the guy who survived all the purges when the newspapers started firing everyone.
I don't get the sense that any of these guys are tenacious workers or networkers either...they just go watch practice, say inane things, watch a game, blather on, rinse, repeat.
|
They are looking for empty shells to go on TV and push a narrative/say what they're told. A work ethic isn't required but a face for TV and a willingness to be a pushover are essential. Lol look at a guy like Tom Gazola - pretty sure he has an IQ of about 75 but he will go on the air, smile and not ask questions. This is not exclusive to sports media.
|
Gazola has to be the most annoying personality on 1260. “We will………be right back…….after…….the…………final………….buzz er………….in…………this…………..game. All sportscasters do this, but this guy drags these sentences out the extra 10 miles. Watch for it. It’s like he doesn’t have enough content to fill his time blocks, so he stretches it out. Remember in school when you needed a 5000 word essay and would use “does not” instead of “doesn’t” so you could stretch out the word count? I’m betting Tom was that guy in school.
And his insight has never caught me off guard. It’s the same drivel his buddies were saying the first half of the day already. I really don’t understand how he’s fallen into these great career opportunities. It’s baffling. The laugh-talking sentences are way over used and soooo fake sounding. I was hoping he was just a placeholder for those pre/post game slots, but unfortunately not. Endless Gazola/Kassian. This market should have better tbh. It’s just been a string of duds on that pre/post game for years.
