A simple mistake. No harm done.


You've got to be kidding me. It's Plagiarism not a simple mistake. One of his expalnations was that it was a Saturday morning and he wanted to get out of their by noon. He knew what he was doing was wrong and just got caught. It makes you wonder how many other simple mistakes he has made so he can get out by noon.

I'm not a fan of Pratt at all as I think his arrogance is too much to take and hope this puts it back in check, however, give me a break. Sports guys use cliche's all the time. Do they ever have to use the original author of them? If they tell a joke, does it have to be original or do they say they got it off the internet? Unless it's been trademarked, there's really nothing wrong with it. With that being said, I believe that any sports guy that can be original and creative will go further than lazy guys like Pratt (althugh he's done pretty well for himself).


This wasn't your typical sports cliche it was a line stolen from one of the most popular writers written in North America written word for word and passed off as your own. That is inexcuseable.

Heyyyy!  Hold on a minute!  I coined that cliche myself back in 1976.  You'll be hearing from my solicitors...

Two things about this!

1. Pratt had a column ?!.... Who knew...who read it?

2. Dan Russell is deeply disturbed about some issue in his life... and comes acoss as bitter & petty . Who isn't  he angry at?

Could he be upset there's a whole other radio station playing in HIS sandbox .. and the Corus attempt at the format .. (which also carried Russell, by the way) .. failed miserably?

You'd think a guy with his substantial creds would be above the pettiness.

It's hard to believe that Dan Russell was the first morning co-host of the team (with Bill Courage).  

You wonder what might have happened had the TEAM put Russell in the afternoon slot.  Same as his show now, only in drive.  I know for a fact that CORUS dreaded that thought.

The other possiblity would have been to pull Russell away from 'NW, take the evening, and have him fill in when Shorthouse was on TV.
