TERRANCE GAVAN – SHRIKE SPORTS I love bloopers. Some days, when I wake up to the doom and gloom of a Leafs win or another Joe Fresh apology I need some video therapy. You might too. Hit play and start your day.
TERRANCE GAVAN – CRAP JOURNALIST We have been here before and when I say we I mean me and my negligible readership. We have been at this doorstep and we have knocked on this door.

When The Fucking Shit Hits the Fan TERRANCE GAVAN – EDITOR AND CRAP JOURNALIST So we know a couple of things about former (Yes he was fired shortly after his on-air debut) NBC North Dakota news anchor AJ Clemente.
