This is one of the saddest moments in Canadian television history.

Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

As long as I can still watch them here in Canada, it's okay, but TSN won't quite be the same without them.

Hopefully these two still keep doing their weekly podcast, funniest hour+ of my week.

Unless one of our tremendous cable companies up here wants to pick up Fox Sports 1, we probably won't.

This blows.

Coincidentally I had just been becoming a fan of these guys after watching some of TSN's YouTube videos and listening to their podcast. I'm excited to see these guys come to the US, although I can't imagine how much it sucks to have these guys stolen from you if you are a Canadian.

Last show will be in Late June. Can't believe they've been together since 2003. TSN has some solid contributors, but nothing like these two.

Seeing as it is replacing SPEED, I'd figure whoever has SPEED should also get FOX Sports 1 once the switch occurs.

I'm super excited about this. I haven't been able to watch them on a consisent basis here in the States obviously, but like Punch I've seen their wares on YouTube and listen to their podcast.

Not only do I love their style, they're Canadian! They have to talk hockey or they'll melt! :P

You've got me intrigued, Fox Sports 1.

Someone described it as a national tragedy. Prime Minister Harper agrees.

Thanks to people on YouTube, I always got a kick at the way they and TSN presented their "Top 10" lists. And having seen lots and lots of lists with Dan and Jay, there are some moments I can't get enough of, and there are some which just annoy me now (especially the blindfolded fat woman at a CFL game crashing into the sidelines being in a lot of "Top 10" lists). Nonetheless, they'll be missed at TSN, while FOX Sports scored big; here's hoping FOX doesn't force them to change their presenting style.
