Just for the record, I like Greg Brady. I think he’s a pretty good broadcaster and sounds great on the air. But after listening to his fill-in work on GNR640, I have to wonder: does he know he’s no longer working for an all-sports station?
 
Every time I hear him taking someone’s place, the show is filled with endless sports references, regardless of topic. ("He hit a home run there!” “It was a Hail Mary pass for sure.” “He was nearly in the end zone.” etc. etc.)
 
Those are just figures of speech but they seem to constantly figure in his shows. Far worse, though, is his endless penchant for doing sports topics. On Tuesday, for example, he started out the 1 PM hour with a long discussion on how the L.A. Clippers are always playing second fiddle to the Lakers.
 
He then moved on to another yarn about former NHLer Jeremy Roenick, suspended for some unfortunate comments he made in a podcast about some colleagues in broadcasting.
 
It was yet another sports-related topic. I’m sure he’s exercising the wise dictum that you should go with what you know. But he’s no longer on the Fan – and he hasn’t signed up with TSN 1050. It’s one thing to do it once in a blue moon. But this is every time he appears.
 
I don’t listen to 640 to hear sports topics any more than I would tune in CHFI to hear Led Zeppelin. I wonder why his producers don’t remind him of that more often.
