Jay Janower is a joke. Ever see him on the weekends with Robin Stickley ?They're purrfect for each other. One thinks he knows it all and the other doesn't know a thing about sports.

I think Squire is quite OK. He's a bit of a pencil-necked geek as an athlete and the very first to admit it and always willing to poke fun at himself in that regard. Hey Janower is a good ol' PG boy. Don't knock him. From what I've seen of clips he can play a decent game of hockey at the rec level. At about 6'3" you sure wouldn't want to get hit by him. Few if any of the folks you see working the sports desks on Global or TSN or Sportsnet have much of a history of playing the game beyond perhaps a CIS or tier II junior hockey level. I know B-Mac was a decent amateur baseball player and Rintoul played some CIS ball. Mullin had a cup of coffee as a Snow Bowl QB. Those who can't play teach and those who can do neither go into media.....don't they Jim? 
Most of them are there because they love sports just like all of us do. They just had the gumption to go out and forge a career in it.
