UPDATED! Bernie and Gordo AND JOE STRAUSS ACK! Burwell TOO!

[Secret Weapon]

i asked bernie why he slams around the horn type espn personalities for saying things they dont really believe to create their arguments on tv, yet defends slaten for doing basically the same thing...

As for the "Around the Horn" analogy.

The difference is, these are sportswriters who go on TV and perform like trained seals and make complete azzzes of themselves... and in some cases put on a front, a fake personality, and it isn't who they really are. These are colleagues. I know they're better than that. So you're danged right I think the show is a joke. I hold them to a higher standard. That is the difference.

Sports talk radio? Which has such notoriously low standards, especially in this market, where only a couple of us even bother to prepare and do homework and report and try to do a radio version of sports journalism?

Slaten has a long and reliable track record of doing a show a certain and controversial way. With Slaten I know what I get. And I'm fine with that. Because I don't have to listen if I don't want to. After all of these years, I have no idea why anyone would be surprised by his approach. It is an approach that is successful for the medium that pays him.

With sportswriters performing on TV for effect, I see bad actors rather than journalists. That disappoints me, though it does not disappoint their bank accounts.

so since slaten has always been a jackass and radio personalities for some reason have lower standards then its ok for him to be a douche? yet when the almighty sportswriters go on tv and make jackasses of themselves they are hurting journalistic integrity? please.

I don't know if you read the riverfront times issue with slaten on the cover....but, the two more vocal supporters were bernie and tim mckernan. shortly before the announcement that he was coming to their station.

i suspect that bernie's bank account somehow benefits from slaten's presence.

That's funny, because Slaten never liked Bernie. Or anyone else from the P-D.

It's incredible how much stupid Strauss packed into his latest chat.

Strauss? Or Gordo?

Gordo I guess. Speaking of Strauss:

J Gordon: The Cards are ready to explore options at SS and @B right away, either via the trade route or free agency.

I really hope we get a player to play our 'at' base this year. I really feel the Cardinals franchise has been hurting without anyone to play that vacant position for the past 100 years.

These last two images kind of sum it all up I think. The PD crew just blows.
