Quote:Personally, I wish they could fire Colin Cowherd a few more times just for good measure.
Olberman's hardly a loss, either.
This reminds me of Ol' Vic's commentary when Josh McDaniels got fired from Denver. It went something along the lines of "He'd hire him back just so he could fire him again because it felt so good the first time he did it."

When did he say the funny part?

It was sometime after that. I can't remember all the details.
Vic has to be lovin life in cheese land and looks like it will continue for a while
Speaking of cable sports shows, I haven't watched Inside the NFL since it left HBO for Showtime with any sort of regularity, but I made the mistake of doing so this past week. Holy crap! Let's talk about a show that needs to lay everyone off. The new lineup is awful.

Yeah, the 80s lineup with old guy 1, old guy 2, no name guy and Collinsworth was much better to watch. I used to live for those highlights!

Wow ... I haven't watched one of those shows in such a long time.
I recall my mom and I going to Saturday evening (weekly) mass in 1978 then watching an NFL Weekly Preview show on
TBS --- this was on of the 1st shows of its kind and happened to be the year Steve Bartkowski was leading the previously hapless Falcons to the playoffs -- this was big considering TBS was fairly new and based out of the ATL
GOD I'M OLD !!.
Quote:Not to get too political in this forum but I find it ironic that a liberally owned company would be cutting people in the name of profit.
Money talks, especially to corporate overlords.
Quote:Sports (football in particular) is the only reason I still have DirecTV. I could easily live without the few series I watch (and wait for them to show up on Netflix in a few years).
There are, um, other ways to get your TV and sports fix. Many of them are pretty easy to find
through
other
resources.

Say What? You do realize that most of our corporations and their surrounding metropolitan areas are liberal don't you? NYC, SF, Chicago, Boston. Take a look at the top universities and how their future executive vote .....
Quote:Who is that?
Michelle Beadle. She also allegedly was drunk and was trying to get Aaron Rodgers leave the ESPYs with her but was rebuffed by him and supposedly then left this Clay Matthews.
Since when does a liberally leaning company (whatever that means) not strive for profits for shareholders? Good grief.
What I do find annoying, and I've seen it a dozen times in the corporate world I retired from, is why don't the decision makers, i.e. Vice Presidents and Division Managers, ever lay themselves off? Take a VP making $1.5 million a year off the books and save 30 employees on the shop floor making $50k? Oh heck no, you'd never see that! Cause it takes a brilliantly talented person of VP stature to come up with the ingenious idea to lay off 30 people to save the company $1.5 million.

This, along with the concept that in the mind of those in Upper Management, the answer to every problem is more management. "We don't need better people turning wrenches! We need more people to oversee the people turning wrenches!"
