Welcome back Norma Wick... Just kidding, I wonder who's going to be the new sideline reporter?

I’m surprisingly quite saddened by this

I thought IF this was gonna happen, thought it would’ve been earlier cause we always find ways to mess things up.

Wish you the best beautiful, and thank you for a job well done.

Knowing Rogers, they found someone cheaper/worse to replace her.

Unfortunate, she was one of the better media player for SportsNet/TSN.

It’s unfortunate but she really wasn’t the best speaker and her interview questions also weren’t great.

Nice eye candy but she had a weird way of almost overemphasizing every word. If she got some polishing and spoke in a more conversational tone wouldn’t be surprised if she got picked up elsewhere. Maybe a podcast setting would allow her to speak more naturally.

I’m surprised. I liked Sav.

While she seems like a great person, she seemed horrible at the job. Not sure if she just gets nervous or if she's horrible at winging it. She would be a lot better at her job if she just wrote down exactly what she wanted to say.

You have to be heard and understood in a loud arena by a player way taller than you with no ear piece, and there’s like 45 seconds for the interview so if you have to repeat yourself it’s TV poison. So I think that comes from the training

She spent 3 years here and still struggled to speak infront of the camera. Wish her the best cause she seems like a good person

Definitely somehow who rose the ranks on appearance and not on actual ability.

She was absolutely dreadful at… speaking. To me it always felt like she was trying to read off a prompter or something. Neve felt natural

Reps have generally done really good at finding strong female talent with Kate, Kayla, Kia, etc. but Savannah was a huge miss. Perhaps the strength of the first 3 made Sav look worse than she really was
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.
