Whitt's End: 12.17.10

• I love how the Spurs get your panties in a wad. That was a sick stepback. And as far as Melo goes? that was a freaking charge all the way, his feet were set before Melo was in the air.

• sybil and richie are riding the coattails of greggo's greatness. they are overexposed and their demise is coming. stay tuned

• I think Gavin and Arnie would be good together. Like you, I thought Arnie was annoying first, but now I kinda get where he is coming from. I think Arnie's loudness would be a good fit with Gavin's mellow style. I also completely agree that it is uncomfortable listening to Gregg and Jasmine. If it's just a gimmick, it doesn't show. It really sounds like she hates him.

• Steve Dennis? I was ok with you until that point. Insta-punch out.

• Morning show sucks. Gregg is an obnoxious turd and you can tell Jasmine hates his guts (understandably). Very FM wacky still but not my thing. And nothing like this will compete with the Musers. Newy is good, but why's he solo still? Get him a sidekick. Josh is better with Elf and the show is more listenable now. Still can't see this competing with BaD Radio though. RAGE is very good but Armen is a huge bogdown. His drops suck, his music cues suck, his on air-ness sucks, his own music tastes make Richie look like Lester Bangs. Greggo is greatness bruuutha. Richie and Sybil are better than given credit. People here were partly right about Gavin in that he's way better without dumbass Gregg. Still kind of generic though and think he needs a co-host. Arnie is growing on me. Why is he always relegated to nights? His road rage story a few days back was insane and I think he may be losing his mind (Radio Gold for us). Needs to be on earlier in the day, maybe partnered up. Why not bring Steve Dennis to the Fan? He has the CBS/21 connection, actually will throw out some HSOs and isn't a generic kiss ass like most media types in this market. I think it's funny Greggo was sucking up to him recently on air after always bagging on him in the the Ticket days. Hammer likes this gig I guess and doesn't want to burn any more bridges. In a market where Ben & Skin get every chance to spare it up, why not give Dennis a show, maybe a partner for one of the current solo hosts. In conclusion, taketheclothesoffbitch.

• According to ESPN, Tim Tebow is going to start. Richie said Tebow would never complete a pass as a starter in the NFL. It looks like Richie's reputation as a quarterback analyst is going to be on the line. Note that my last sentence was said with an ironic tone.

• I guess we get to try out this new commenting system. woot. hold me back. It took about a nanosecond for somebody down at city hall FW to realize there would have to be some new rules written after they took that payment. Could not care less. Let this be a lesson to city managers everywhere. Romo got all promised up. Yay. Better him than me. RW is gonna be bitchy about CLee no matter what. Don't care. My expectations for last yeare were to be somewhere around .500. This year it is to make the playoffs again. Anything past that is gravy. The trend line is upward with that beisbol team. Not fretting. Was I supposed to give a shit about Tashard? Sorry, my bad. He ain't that smart. Yeah, it is all a cultural thing about fighting dogs, chickens and even bears and pigs. It is wrong. It is a cultural thing to cut off a little girl's thingy down there, that ain't right either. Most of us have become civilized. Try it some time. The rest of us would really appreciate it. No, he forfeited his right to own a dog. Sorry. Merten on board next week? Ok, cool.

• Bob Bland is still gayer than my dad

• Ghost of Scotts Name is all over my posts, wierd

• You nailed your line but reminded us again that you have a face for radio.

• Richie's taste in women is comparable to a 12 year old boy discovering boobs.

• Yeah. I noticed that too. It wasn't me that did all that.

• Fairly positive the comments screwed up and "Ghost of scott" tookover for a lot of posting names when the comment system change happened. I seem to remember a lot of different posters not just "Ghost of scott" over and over.

• Taco Bueno off Belt Line in Irving will make any bad restaurant list

• ghost of scott says ghost of scott.....ghost of scott bitches!

• Scattershooting while wondering what ver happened to the Ghost of Scott

• Shout out here from the Hammer. We love ya, Hambonita. For the most part people treat you well here in the Sportatorium. Richie seems to be a more divisive topic. And pretty much Armen is generally hated.

• @Thom, I agree they should have tried to sign Lee @Rooster, they weren't racists. Your wrong! @Steves, why do you hate dogs?

• Worst fast food restaurant in Dallas: Hands down, The Taco Bueno at Alma + Spring Creek in Plano. I've avoided it for years because of problems. Yesterday, I break down and go in, and a guy is complaining to the manager about turds floating in all the toilets. The manager is just laughing. It's not that busy. All the condiments are empty (salsa, jalapeno's, etc), the tables look like shit, and no napkins are available.

• Josh and Elf is the best show going on The Fail right now, seeing how RAGE is a giant pile-of-suck. One in like 6 segments is good, the rest of the time I try to listen it's Spagnola or Richie being an overtalking douche or Sybil's drunken hillbilly laugh making my ears bleed. Josh and Elf are at least genuine. But the segment with Lacey making football picks was downright painful. The girl knows NOTHING about sports and her voice is not radio-friendly. Why put her at a mic?

• @ Scott's Merkin - I agree that JJ is indeed dominant, I'm more referring to his place as an athlete in NASCAR as opposed to the standing of a Drew Brees or Tiger Woods, and their popularity. I don't think you could argue that in the mind of sports fans, both Tiger and Brees are more relevant than JJ. I may have to agree with RW on this one. Tiger crossed into pop-culture. Wives all across America were chatting up Tiger. While I dont agree with the message, and it's not something I would do. It is their right to protest in a reasonable manner as well.

• @jer While I stand by my tiger statement, I sorta stand behind my JJ statement too when it comes to sports. I didnt say athlete of the year, but Nascar is a sport, its a competition where there is a winner and 42 losers, and he has dominated his sport for 5 years. I hate the extremist point of view in church. I just dont think someone can tell someone else they cant advertise their religion/beliefs bc it doesnt match theirs. Thats just hypocritical.

• @Thom - Shut up about my wife being out of the kitchen. I asked her to leave the kitchen because I was tired of that heffer eating all my food.

• @ Scott's Merkin - I agree with the Jets comment, as well as the Romo sentiment. Jimmie Johnson, really ? I'm not a believer in the whole driving is a sport theory. I would say Drew Brees. I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic though. Don't let the radicals speak for the sensible. The radicals are just the ones that the press flock to, and thus garner all the attention. I'm a Christian, I pay tithe. Although I don't agree, I will never judge. I believe there are good people with different points of view, and they are entitled to have that view. Respect differences, and learn from them. Chris Gamble

• Josh Lewin and Elf seem like a couple of really nice guys, but god damn their show sucks. They are both so dorky and cheesy. Even with Lewin gone today, the dorkiness is too much for me to handle.

• Scattershooting while wondering what happenend to Kristy Yang? Solid Whitts End Gotta say I was disappointed in the Motorcycle article. I couldnt tell if you wanted to show the inside of a motorcycle club or give shout outs to possible sponsors. Also got a little confused about the the Ernie elisa side. I think you hsould have separated the stories to give us a deeper inside look at the motorcycle club and a more heartfelt look at the personal lives Ernie and Elisa, the club members. The jets coach could have ended that guys career if he gets kim knee on knee. Romo getting married might keep him outta the clubs and slow down his golf game, but cant we all agree that the dude can play football and he loves doing it. Hes the best thing weve had since Aikman. Dont you people remember Ryan Leaf, Tony Banks, Swollen Tongue Boy, Drew Henson. The year in sports did no belong to Tiger. he didnt do a fucking thing on the course, he might have been tabloid story of the year but he did nothing sports wise. Id give the year in sports award to guy named Jimmie Johnson, you know, the one who won his 5th consecutive championship in a row. If that was Kobe or brady people would be blowing them up. Oh and eff the idiots who complain about good without god, thats what they believe so let them be, because if heaven is filled with bigots and homophobes like REv Jeffress and you cult church followers, I think Id rather just burn in hell

• homegirl's boobs are almost as awesome as her stretchmarks and self esteem.

• @Kristen Lee: Why in the hell are you talking to the media? You are a wife of an athlete....that is all. We don't need to hear anything you have to say, so shut the f*ck up and get your ass back in the kitchen.

• i like steak

• @panic at the Fail - I really hope you're a troll, and not really that big of a moron.

• @panic at the Fail: In no way whatsoever were they being racist on the radio yesterday. Not even in the slighest. You are a complete moron.

• tired ways to try to get ratings: TRY TO BE RACIST!!! 1st they have richard hunter on again bashing michael vick. the reasons for having mr hunter on is twofold: A - they try to incite the BLACK listener. & B - they attempt to pay mr hunter back by getting him free airtime albeit to 11 listeners (and at this point of his dying career, mr hunter is glad to accept the 11) 2nd they ONLY took 3 calls from BLACK ppl and proceeded to belittle their points. 3rd they follow up that failed segment with a bashing of Tashard Choice who btw is BLACK. its a desperate ploy to try to get listeners by being controversial & racist. not genuine, not classy, not cool.

• Romo - marriage is good for two things: Killing your sex life and draining your bank account. Everyone has to learn that the hard way. . Vick - out of all the things I have to care about, whether or not Mike Vick can one day own a dog so isn't even on the radar. . Alex Barron - We traded our guy who couldn't tackle (Barbie Carpenter) for their guy who couldn't block (Alex Barron). We expected this to work out differently because? . Jet's coach - if we were still in the Pacman/Tank/TO era, Jerrah would hire this guy in a heartbeat.

• One more thing that I forgot to comment on ... ALOSI WAS CLOSER TO THE SIDELINE THAN THE BENCH. It's not illegal if he is forced out of bounds. The move was a bit@# move. What would you say if Kobe was running down the sideline after saving a ball from out of bounds, and a trainer effing stuck out his leg ? I have no problem with the wall being there. I have a problem with him sticking out his leg. Robert Smith Have a good weekend Everybody.

• Kristen Lee looks like she's 20 lbs away from being any other gal in Arkansas. Eff her and eff Clee and eff the Ranger's management for not paying for him. Quick trivia question for fellow sporties: Name the last Free agent pitcher the Rangers signed that was worth a shit..prior to Colby.. answer: Nolan Freaking Ryan, and he was dang near 40 at the time.

• It sucked being in Dallas. The Traffic was horrible and it was soooooo f-ing hot in the summer. We are so excited to now be up in Philly.

• Philly fans don�t need a teleprompter to tell them to cheer.

• Im sorry, but if I ever hear one person tell me that Vick and dogs have anything to do with Vick and children, I am going to go insane. Dogs are dogs, and some people understand that. In some areas and cultures dogs are treated differently. I have been to a few dog fights in my day. I have known many people who have raised the dogs that fight. The simple fact of the matter is that it is a culture. Vick was raised to believe that Dogs were for sport. It has nothing to do with how he treats his children. If part of his punishment is him not having a dog, then he needs to suffer that punishment. Vick has done more for dog fighting than any one person has done in the history of dog fighting. As far as the SPURS go : Tell me why Melo gets called for an effing charge with no time on the clock, and Ginobili can do exactly as RW describe with all eyes on him and get away with it.

• Do you think this stuff through before posting it? Trespassing? when the guy gets bumped out of bounds? Making it open season in front of a teams own bench would be like your boyfriend pushing somebody into your yard just so you can shoot them. An incentive to game the system... And do you realize that homeowners can't just shoot anybody on their property? They usually get away with no charges when they're threatened. The ones who get hit with some 'bullshit charge' are the ones who shoot the trick or treater, the guy leaving flyers on the door, etc. Alosi clearly stuck his leg out to hit the player who was involved in the game. He's an effing Strength and conditioning coach. If anybody is trespassing it's him, unless the Jets are lifting weights on the sideline. He tresspassed (his leg) to where it had no buisness being. If you don't get that, and therefore don't get the uproar, you're dumber than I thought.

• Gotta love the people who constantly rag on Richie, but yet they continue to listen to his show and not only read his blog daily, but comment everyday as well. Good Job Idiots.

• Now for my breakdown of Whitt's End: *Tashard Choice's autograph flap doesn't bother me. *Re: Rangers. Quit being so bitter about your station losing them. *Yes, Vick did his time and all that. But no, he doesn't deserve to have a dog. *Christians cry when a bus ad goes up that goes against their beliefs, but they're more than ok with those God billboards that go up. Hypocritical double-standards. And them saying that it's the wrong time of year for them to go up is bullshit. They'd cry if it was in the middle of summer. *You're an idiot for trying to say the Jet's coach did the right thing. An absolute fool. *Merten is going to blog here for two weeks? Awesome!! We'll get some valid sports stories and I betcha the nut kicking goes way down for those two weeks.

• Effing A...Santa Claus is real, and he's bringing us Slinging Sam Merton..I didn't click on RW's acting "clip"..just figured it was guy on guy stuff..RW is copying the Hardline's vacation slot too..If RW had of wined and dined his ex old lady like Romo is doing his..well you all know..she'd of still left him because he's short and balding. Hope Romo is as miserable as the rest of us, and also hopes he turns his cap around..proper like..Merry Festivus to all

• Two weeks of quality posts minus the arrogance and lack of substance? Yes please. Enjoy the vacation, we sure will. Romo could've done alot better than that idea for an engagement, but the dude isn't that bright. Neither is Choice. He needs to keep his piehole shut. But I've now realized that being a pro football player doesn't make you intelligent. I'm convinced that 90% of a roster is filled with dumbass dudes who can barely tie their shoes and write and have gotten by for years on being the stud athlete. There are exceptions, yes, but I'd bet locker room Scrabble games aren't very high scoring. Morons given lots of money and with cameras shoved in their face are always going to do moronic things. Which leads me to Vick. Nothing states he can't own a dog legally, I'd imagine. If he was brighter he'd not talk about the possibility, but he did do his time. He probably shouldn't be allowed to have kids either, but that ship already sailed. Setting up a line of coaches to intimidate or close off a lane for a gunner is a jackwagon move. No surprise you're okay with it. It's just classless. A player can run out of bounds on that play and expect a clear path as long as he's in front of that line. That means knees stay behind it. That's not trespassing, slick. That's shooting a dude in the street because you THINK he may he contemplating breaking into your home. I see no mention of the Lee/Greinke whining. Is that because you can't keep up with your own shifting position on it?

• Isn't sporatorium the name of Richie's back end? Ha! Cunyuearme wichie?

• First! Now to go back and actually read it.
