I don't understand this annointed status given to Shearer. Listening to him sends me to sleep, he was not a team player and a nasty player with the elbows etc....and that goal celebration was boring the 2nd time I saw it.

I was flipping through the channel at lunch and the CBC'c main studio color commentator sounded English.

His name is Nigel Reed but to some people on this forum he has committed the ultimate blasphemy (akin to wanting to take on cradle like lifestyle habits) and has done commentary for MLS games.

It seems they have a Scott and Canadian basketball player. I liked the moderator guy, "you two are from the World Cup, how does it feel to kick a ball?" :rofl:
