  1. It's not a new phenomenon just that cameras are there to record shenanigans. It's not like there wasn't shoving 20 years ago. I don't think 50-100k people can move anywhere quickly without shoving, and I don't even mean player related. You don't think a Tennessee fan inadvertently or advertently knocked another fan on their ass? I'm fine with it going bye bye for those reasons, but this talk of devolving into multiple deaths is a stretch. The field rushing done today isn't any more violent than the one done 20+ years ago.
  2. Every time I've heard them talk sports they apologize and disclaim that it will still be fun. They are really trying to distance themselves from sports radio, but yeah they need to find a better balance.
  3. Will this impact my Piggly Wiggly?
  4. It's kind of overblown. Netflix at the time was just a mail order DVD service. They evolved into streaming and that is what made them what they are now. Had Blockbuster bought them at the time of the offer nobody there would have had that vision, and Netflix wouldn't be a thing anymore just like Blockbuster.
  5. It's wild that football has such an important function be so specialized that the people in charge of the teams have no idea what to do. Most college and pro teams are just blindly throwing darts at a list of names when trying to find a kicker.
  6. The simplest thing would be to just watch the porn from your phone.
  7. The Freak's morning show is their weakest. I'm not a Ben & Skin fan, but they at least have broadcasting experience. The station just put their leftovers on mornings, knowing they aren't going to compete.
  8. How has Sirois non compete expired but Danny's hasn't. Or did Sirois not have one? I am assuming non competes are SOP in the radio biz, but I'd think it's probably normally limited to hosts that typically sign multi year contracts. Do they structure producer contracts the same way and not even pay their age in salary?
  9. A beating yes, but still way better than baseball.
  10. What can Quinn spin better, the ball or dat ass?
  11. To add to the list, not all the sex in the animal kingdom is consensual.
  12. Wasn't Ben & Skin on the Eagle pretty much them goofing around the whole time? I rarely heard any sports when I did tune in.
  13. I believe that was in 2021 which would pre date anything concrete on the Freak. The Jake deal was simply Cumulus trying to lowball a newly crowned tier 1 host because they assumed he's just young and dumb IIRC.
  14. Yes. Don't understand the point for a single segment once a week though.
  15. I wonder if it has anything to do with us having shitty defenses
  16. I might have sprung for a baby gate over the surveillance camera.
  17. I think he was the first kid's (toddler) age programming to explode into merchandising. There have been tons since now, but the first probably irked a lot of parents forced to buy that crap. It was always in vogue for us older kids to make Barney jokes as well.
  18. Dahmer hits different because I was a kid hearing snippets of the news about it in the early 90s. With no other exposure to that world, he basically became a real life evil super villain that gave me legit nightmares. The rest I've read about as an adult with more context to that world.
  19. Asked and answered. Thanks gents
  20. As an aside from the current news, the other day the Musers brought up all the political ads they are playing. Cat said they were forced to do so. Is that true, or does he just want cover? I can see some archaic reason for it being forced, but for what it's devolved into today I don't really know why anyone would want to voluntarily get involved without being desperate for the money.
  21. All valid question I am not going to pretend to know the answers to. It's a new world though. 10 years ago there wasn't any precedent of going out and poaching established winning head coaches from major programs. Landings like that were all just considered lucky timing. Now these coaches have shown they can be had, but you are going to have to overpay just like any other free agency.
  22. I don't know about the offer to Kelly, but that's what I recall for Urban. I was referring to your statement that LSU offered Kelly our Urban deal. I don't think they did. They overpaid, but this is free agency, you aren't getting successful coaches to move without overpaying. I put his deal at LSU about what you can expect to get his experience and success he's had. That certainly doesn't guarantee anything though. Maybe in the Kelly saga he wanted the Urban contract from us, but went to LSU for less out of spite of us not offering that. If you want to win only paying your coaches 5-6mm a year, you are pretty much stuck hiring coordinators or G5 up and comers.
