FOX Sports: Onrait, who left TSN three years ago to work at FOX Sports, had been discussing curling, of all things, offering another equivalency between Canada and the United States, according to Toronto Star. He was asked how he would describe Vic Rauter, a former TSN colleague, to a U.S. viewer. He said it was the equivalent of that snowstorm we had in Toronto all those years ago when we had to call the army — everybody panics and forgets how to drive. The Vin Scully of curling in Canada . . . the Al Michaels of curling, he said. Rauter estimates he has called 500,000 shots as the play-by-play voice at TSN, a run that will hit a personal milestone this weekend as the Scotties Tournament of Hearts begins in Grande Prairie, Alta. I mean, when you think of curling broadcasting in Canada, he is the one super-prominent name associated with it, to the point where he crossed over, I think, pop-culture wise.
