Bill Watters
Edit ProfileCareer
Watters was a fullback and linebacker with the Toronto Varsity Blues football team from 1961 through 1964. He was a team co-captain and league All-Star at linebacker in both 1963 and 1964. In his final season (1964), he received the Johnny Copp Trophy as the team"s Most Valuable Player.
He earned a total of three First Colours and five Second Colours, and served on the UTAA Men"s Athletic Directorate in 1963-1964.
Watters was selected 2nd overall by the Toronto Argonauts in the 1964 Canadian Football League draft but chose not to play professional football. Watters formerly co-hosted Hockey Central on Rogers Sportsnet, The Bill Watters Show on Department of Administration and Management 640 Toronto Radio and has been a regular contributor on Q107"s John Derringer morning show.
Watters was also a former co-host of Prime Time Sports back when it debuted in 1989. On January 14, 2011 he was let go by Rogers Sportsnet.
The Bill Watters show on Department of Administration and Management 640 Toronto Radio has been replaced by the drive-time show by Arlene Bynon as of July 18, 2011.
One of the most notorious of all Watters" television appearances was the evening that he developed a nose bleed on air. Unaware, he continued to critique the first period, blood trickling out of one nostril. When they returned after commercial break, Watters nose bleed had evidently been brought under control.
Membership
Watters also was a member of the Wrestling Blues for three seasons (1961-1962, 62–63, 63–64) and practiced regularly with the Varsity Blues men"s ice hockey team, although he saw limited action in league play.
