Talk:Bob Cole (sportscaster)

Moving this page
Support The reason why this page should be re-named is because of ambiguity. A search for Bob Cole (using Go) yields Bob Cole the announcer. Bob Cole (composer), the greater entry is not indicated. Perhaps a third or fourth Bob Cole will call for a disambiguous page. sd

Criticism
Trying to think of a nice way to add some of his critics, e.g. heqs 14:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree there should be a criticism section. Yes, this is an encyclopedia, but criticism sections are a common feature of articles of this type. --Zegoma beach 12:47, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I think that the "criticism" section of this article should certainly be removed. Sure, criticism sections are common features, but this one is not notable nor is it even cited. To say that the CBC received "a flurry of emails from fans all across Canada" is absolutely absurd! Unless the author of that section personally checked CBC's email and looked up the home-town of those who sent those emails, there's no way that this should be included. Unless the alleged criticism can be cited, it should be removed. It looks utterly ridiculous being included in this article. Drbn (talk) 03:51, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

This is an encyclopedia
If you guys want to dish critical opinions on Cole go to the CBC website.. This site is for factual information... I don't care if you praise him for being a homer either... that is all opinion and it does not belong on these articles. The media criticized Lemieux for being a floater.. especially Cherry but regardless of whether it is true or not... you can't conclude because that is one persons opinion. The same with Francophones.. why don't one of you go to Francophones and write "Criticism" section on how they are all chicken (bleeps) for wearing visors. You are all losing touch with the objective of the site. Hearsay and opinions are not facts. Don't want to sound like an ass but this isn't the place to practice writing editorials. There are just as many supporters for Cole as there are nay sayers.-Rainman71 03:59, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

"He was nailed"

 * I've added his 'He was nailed' common phrase, for hockey hits, just can't find a source for it, if the phrase is removed, I won't dispute it. GoodDay 22:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Memorable Quotes
You might want to create a section entitled "Memorable Quotes" from various HNIC broadcasts to include his most memorable calls. Two of his memorable calls include: "Now, after 50 years, it's time for Canada to stand up and cheer! STAND UP AND CHEER EVERYBODY! THE OLYMPICS SALT LAKE CITY 2002 MEN'S ICE HOCKEY GOLD MEDAL: CANADA!," and "The New York Rangers have DONE IT HERE ON A HOT JUNE NIGHT IN NEW YORK! THE RANGERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!" -- SNIyer12, (talk), 14:53, 5 September, 2009 (UTC)
