Drafted http://www.drafted.ca The Search for Canada's Next Sportscaster Wed, 16 May 2012 21:04:35 +0000 en hourly 1 Drafted in T.O. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Drafted/~3/y0tfI5eZYdc/ http://www.drafted.ca/blog/2012/05/15/drafted-in-t-o/#comments Tue, 15 May 2012 14:44:55 +0000 admin http://www.drafted.ca/?p=3124 The words “crazy busy” would be an understatement to describe this weekend’s auditions in Toronto. A lot of Gillette Drafted hopefuls showed up to show us their stuff. We had some interesting talent come out to talk about a lot of issues in sports. Thanks to everyone that came out! Next weekend we’ll be in Calgary at the Market Mall. If you can’t make it, you can still send us an online audition by clicking HERE.

Here, we shall highlight the good and bad in sports coverage.

The first example of what NOT to do dates back to 1994 when former NFL quarterback Jim Everett visited sports talk show Talk2, hosted by Jim Rome. Everett was known to shy away from getting tackled, often falling to the ground before a sack occurred. Rome repeatedly referred to Jim as “Chris” (a reference to female tennis player Chris Evert). Jim wasn’t having any of it, and here is what happened:

Sports broadcasting lesson: Never disrespect a guest of the show. And if a 6-foot-5 athlete tells you to stop doing something, stop doing it. If you feel you could’ve handled this situation better than Jim Rome, be sure to audition for this season of Gillette Drafted. Here are some upcoming locations we’ll be auditioning from:

  • TORONTO (@ Eaton Centre) –May 12th & 13th
  • CALGARY (@ Market Mall) – May 19th & 20th
  • VANCOUVER (@ Metropolis) –May 26th & 27th
