S1 E29: Aaron Portzline of The Athletic rejoins host Michael Arace of TheDisrespected.com the morning after the Columbus Blue Jackets opened their season with a 6-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres at the Nationwide Arena. Matthew Knies, acquired in a blockbuster deal from the Toronto Maple Leafs that had Kirill Marchenko going the other way, had two goals and an assist in his CBJ debut. Porty and I get into the training camp that was, what may be ahead, and much more. #cbj #torontomapleleafs #leafs #sabres #nhl
S1, E28: Aaron Portzline of The Athletic joins host Michael Arace of TheDisrespected.com to talk about what the Columbus Blue Jackets/NHL have conjured after the death of regional sports networks -- the Blue Jackets Hockey Network. Also, and once again, we pose the question that ends every #CBJ conversation these days: When will the Adam Fantilli contract be done?
S1 E27: The contract negotiations between the Columbus Blue Jackets and top center Adam Fantilli are still crawling along. The Jackets are saving money by getting rid of their radio voice because it's a trend. How long will Elvis Merzlikins be out after shoulder surgery? Good question. ... Aaron Portzline of The Athletic is back with host Michael Arace of TheDisrespected.com to finish up with the summer housework. #CBJ #NHL #TheDisrespected
S1 E26: The Athletic's Aaron Portzline is back with host Michael Arace of TheDisrespected.com to talk about how the Columbus Blue Jackets, as an organization, are taking a dive into a pool of bad juju. Most of the conversation surrounds the soul-damaging axing of longtime radio voice Bob McElligott, and how it fits into an evolving sports-media landscape. We also pay homage to CBJ insider Jeff Svoboda, a true ambassador for the team, who also got axed. #cbj #nhl #sportsradio #theathletic #disrespectedmedia
Mike Cornell, who has been battling a rare form of cancer for nearly a decade, doesn't know how much more time he has left. He has been a fan of the Crew and the Blue Jackets since the formation of both franchises. With host Michael Arace of TheDisrespected.com, he reflects on devoting some of his passion for life to sports. He uses "fan" as a verb, says, "You've got to fan HARD." We need more Mike Cornells in our lives. What a delightful human being. #cbj #crew96 #cancer
S1 E24: Aaron Portzline of The Athletic joins host Michael Arace of TheDisrespected.com for some mid-summer house cleaning. Is there an offer sheet for Adam Fantilli looming (not likely)? Jarmo Kekalainen invites John Davidson to join the Buffalo Sabres front office (sounds familiar). Why are pending restricted free agents hesitant to negotiate contract extensions (money)? There's a new All-Star Game format (nobody cares). And much more ... #cbj #nhl
S1 E23: Aaron Portzline of The Athletic is back to talk to host Michael Arace of thedisrespected.com. The offer sheet tendered by the Philadelphia Flyers rocked the #nhl. Is Columbus Blue Jackets center Adam Fantilli the next target? #cbj GM Don Waddell remains busy with his Fantilli and the rest of his restricted free agents. Then, there's Norris Trophy winner Zach Werenski and the weirdness behind his alleged trade request -- followed by his statement that he "wants to win in Columbus." What will the Jackets' lineup look like next year? We've got a lot of ground to cover in this one ...
After a whirlwind week of reports that #cbj defenseman Zach Werenski wanted out of Columbus, and that he'd nixed a trade to the #dallasstars, Werenski made a statement saying "I want to win in Columbus." A day after the reigning Norris Trophy winner made this announcement, Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell met the local media.
