  1. They will be suffering from the Democratic Curse that happens when others try this, and quickly recant their positions.
    Trump bad at all times with no exceptions.
    If your not suffering from the Trump Derangement Syndrome, then your not a true American Democrat.

  2. the whole world is watching America …. and the Demoncrat baloney and corruption is playing to a world stage – on the big screen – as are the impressive Trump manifestations. Serious prayers tonight …

  3. Yep
    The incongruity of these positions/comments is completely lost on them.
    Says more about their intelligence than they know.

    I’ve stopped listening to them years ago.

    1. My father used to watch games on television, always with the sound turned all the way down (no “mute” button in his time,) because he didn’t want to be distracted from the game but the blathering commentary. I find that works for me, too, when programs like The Green Zone are on the radio.

      1. The Green Zone? Saskatchewan’s most listened to Sports Radio Show?

        What a bunch of losers. Their twitter likes and followers number in the high single, low double digits…
        Nobody listens to these clowns. If Saskatchewan Main Stream Media wants their radio product to be used for something other than background noise in the various barns around the province… find relevant personalities. I’m sure the cows pay the Green Zone no mind…

  4. “Sports is never a great place to go if you’re looking to find high moral standards and you shouldn’t vote based on what top athletes, actors or radio personalities tell you to anyway.”

    Actual sportsmen like Nicklaus do have high moral standards.

    The people who get rich staging freak shows starring steroid-soaked thugs at taxpayer expense, not so much.

    1. The only people that idolize athletes or think of them as hero’s, or someone to look up to, are people like Jamie Nye and other sports media people. And that’s because of the bubble full of media people they live in. They all look up to athletes, and they all think, everyone else does too.
      My kids are more interested in how the shoe store works, or the bank manager, or how someone got to manage a restaurant. They like sports, but they could care less about an athlete being some kind of role model.

  5. Apparently sports is not the place “to find high moral standards”
    Coming from a journalist, this is pretty funny. Not that he’ll get it.

    1. And a foreign “opinion writer” posing as a journo should not comment on another country’s election choices/recommendations just before polling day.

    1. True that. Near Edmonton for myself, Jason Gregor, Brownlee, etc and the entire band of millenials that comprise producers for these programs all tow the leftist narrative lines expertly, some more vocally than others. Still, to a man, it’s all anti-Trump, pro-BLM, “how dare you disagree you must be a privileged white man” commentary when the conversation moves anywhere near politics and sport.

  8. Why doesn’t this dick spank make a comment about the “slave’, Lebron James or that fucktard, Kapernick. Those two have political opinions. What? We got different rules for Homey? That’s racist.

    1. C’mon dude, it’s been proven-by-overwhelming-consensus (just like “Global Warming is gonna’ killusol”) – POC can’t be racist. Only wypipo are, even those who check their privilege.

  10. A similar column came across my inbox by a Montreal Gazette writer (Stu Cowan – “The shine has come off my boyhood hero”). He writes about his admiration for Bobby Orr and how great Orr was when he finally met him and Orr was happy to pose for a photograph with the writer. Then it all comes crashing down when he finds Orr was a big donor to Trump.

    Suck it up Stu baby.

  11. I think what this fellow fails to realize is the difference between having the right to freely express ones opinion and taking the knee at work (on the field) while thousands of paying customers are respecting the national anthem. The former was paid for with the blood of many. The latter is the result of a situation that gives audience to spoiled rich kids who have no concept of who gave them that freedom.

  12. I quit listening to the green zone a couple years ago I realized I don’t care what Jamie Nye thinks of politics that isn’t what I was listening for.

    1. Same, always listened and enjoyed sports on CKRM till Pederson left, then I tried the green zone. Gave it a couple weeks but got so sick of the leftist cheap shots from Nye and Woods and the socialist crap coming out Darrel Davis that I moved back to CKRM. I don’t understand why CJME would destroy their sports show, but I won’t listen again till Nye, Woods and Davis are all gone.

  13. Those who can’t do, teach.
    Those who can’t teach, journal.
    Those who can’t journal, journal anyway.

  14. “Republicans give all the tax breaks to the rich”
    How do these lowlife jerks keep a straight face while telling bald face lies?

    1. I guess he doesn’t realize that Wall Street and Silicon Valley are all in for Biden. There are the well off, and then there are the literally filthy rich. They can’t possibly spend a fraction of what they have already, and they still want more at the expense of average Americans. Whatever the net worth of Bobby Orr and Jack Nicklaus are, they are minuscule compared to those guys.

    2. Because guys like Nye have never worked a legitimate day in their lives, they believe what they’re told by their wives, the leftist media hacks they work with, and B list athletes they idolize.

  15. I guess not having 126 hrs a week of Rider pre-game onanism to engage in has left Jamie with some free time to expound his wisdom on non-sports items as well.

  16. This jock journalist typifies the brain-dead Canadian whose only source of perspective is what the media opines. I live in a brain-dead NDP riding where these types are the rule rather than the exception.

    1. Jamie and Wheels are the antithesis of jocks, they’re the kids who were picked last in pickup games but knew all the rules. They rode the bench, kept score, and opened the gates for the real athletes. They’re now directing their pent up aggression for years of being picked last onto those legitimate jocks whom they feel are dumb for being a Conservative or a Trump supporter. They have a misplaced superiority complex because they occasionally get to speak to celebrity athletes from the comfort of their studio while the rest of us that they held the gate for have to work for a living in the patch or on the farm.

      1. Pretty much, all they seem to know about, is video games,,, if they didn’t have a laptop in studio with them, to look up crap,,, they wouldn’t know anything!
        Tuned in a while back once, and the morning guy was in studio to promo his show. He says to nye, Warren Woods, and Darrell Davis, “Soooooo, which one of you guys is the athlete ????
        Best effing question on that show eevvveeerrr !

  17. The inability of the left to see the contradictions in front of them astounds me.

    One group appropriates the front of their sweaters, markings in and around the court, and forces us to listen to their slogans non-stop. Immediate cost to them: zero. (Long term cost to be determined) That’s absolutely fine, and noble, according to the sportswriters.

    One guy *buys* an ad in a newspaper with his own money, that you were free to gloss over, to express his own support for one man. That guy’s a traitor because… Orange Man Bad.

    1. The inability to see the contradictions between the ideas they espouse and the reality in which they live is essential to their belief.

  18. Swimming in the nude … when the female secret service detachment is deployed to protect the VP … is simply creepy. Really creepy. Talk about Stormy Daniels all you want … but forcing CAPTIVE … UNWILLING … women to avert their eyes despite their very job being to KEEP their eyes on the Veep … and you conclude Biden is a Creepster beyond all creepsterdom.

  19. I remember Grey Cup parties. I remember watching the Stanley Cup. I remember being aware of the World Series.
    Haven’t cared about any of those for a while. Most recently I only learn of them happening after the fact.
    To hell with sportsball, urinalists, and especially sportsball urinalists.

    1. I’m old enough to remember when the Grey Cup games were held on Saturdays because, at least in my part of the country, there were Grey Cup balls in the evening. Those were, aside from Christmas parties, the last real social events of the year.

      Mind you, that was over 50 years ago.

  20. The Jamie Nyes & the Stu Cowans of the world are without any shred of a doubt, the experts, in the fields that they critique. They definitely score more and assist more and hit harder and longer and whatever…
    They aren’t even losers for they likely never played the games! But they know how! They know the errors the mistakes, they know who to trade for and who to dump! They know it all! They are winners! they never break a sweat but they are winners. They do not have to fear a career ending injury, but that are winners.
    No, they are not even losers for they never play the games!

  21. Sports programming on CJME has been in the toilet since Drew Remenda and Mitchell Blair left. The Green Zone had a chance at redeeming itself if RAWLCO had promoted Justin Blackwell to the host and Garry Nichols as side kick instead of Jaimie Nye and this Wheels jackass who I assume were the equipment managers or water boys of any team sport they were ever involved in if there were any.

    When I want to listen to a radio commentator pander to centristists and left wingers, I tune into Gormley. And now when I want to listen to sports programming I tune into 620 because Nye and Wheels are doing movie reviews, cartoon character polls, and alienating their rural Saskatchewan audience.

  22. The Ron MacLean award for all of them: a made-in-China tin medal with a weasel on one side and a diaper on the other suspended from a yellow ribbon with a brown streak down the middle.
