Quote:For a franchise that has done almost everything right over the last 12 – 15 months this is a real head scratcher of a move.



 

1. As bad as some thought Sexton was (he was OK by me), Frangie is a HUGE downgrade.
   
   
   
2. Rick Ballou as a field reporter is also a stupid idea as well IMO. Why him over Brent Martineau actually went to journalism school (I’m assuming). His voice is much easier to take than Ballou.
   
   
   
3. The only positive for me in this is that I think Sexton will do well working on the team’s digital and social media efforts. The Jags lag far behind most of the NFL teams in the amount of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram followers. In this day and age that’s important.
   
   
   

I’m one of those that listen to the game while being at the game and I can’t say that I plan on doing that anymore.

 

To venture a guess, this is all probably part of the package that brought the broadcasts to 1010xl. 1010xl wants to shoehorn their personalities into it in the hope of leveraging that into increased listenership for their regular broadcasts. Probably why they were willing to pay enough to wrest the control away from the local super wealthy right-wing radio station.
