Whitt's End: 4.8.11

• Sorry Mr. Merten, I'd trade my bunch of underachiever for the Shitt's right now..still trying to weather my own personal Idaho storm..my team sucks. That is all.

• Sarah Jaffe is greatness. I am not gay, but I love blues/jazz/crooner music, so my wife took me to Norah Jones for my b-day last year, Jaffe opened for her. She had a Tori Amos sound minus the suck of Amos. I loved that they had her on. And, only those 3 Tards interviewing her are the only ones that could've pulled it off versus any of the other radio stations, sports or not. It was cool to have her on, but just my opinion.

• 2 games: doubleheader 2 words: ranger killer

• Fake likes? It's prettt obvious from the response by real dirty p1, storm 71, webbs broken shoulder, etc that the likes were legit. Skipping the usual insults from you, and it looks like you got nothing after that. I think instead of going by rob from now on I'm going by fake kergo. Watching the. Stupidity after each post is too good.Please try to get new material though. The "you have a dumb job / you do karate" stuff could get old fast. Welp, more recipes, more lakes, more fake names, more Plano references, and more webbs broken shoulder. More chokin' down on richie's olive branch. More me! Larry in Frisco is so awesome that tomorrow I'm gonna choke down a Kenny burger in Frisco just for him. 1PMish I think. Just swallow all that big ground beef down!

• Monday I'm going to post as "fake Kergo" Rob, and then use 14 email accounts, and hit the "like" button like 1200 times- and show everyone how fucking gay I am........LOOK HOW MANY HITS I GOT ON A FAKE POST'-"he he". Then giggle like motorcycle Greggo. Rob Em's passions: -pressing the "like" button and saying, bitch -MMA crap -type blogging in momma's basement -working at Walmart, cause I got fired from Sears -try to make valid points on a blog I actually think is "low rated" Questions we have for Rob: -why? to all of the questions!? ps-are you that guy that lives down the street that lives with his mom, and practices with his nunchecks everyday, like 2:30? Well cool, uhhmmmm, special people need cool stuff to do.........LIKE PRESS THE "LIKE" BUTTON UNTIL YOUR FINGERS BLEED. Ok, welp, you win! Dear Kergo, Can we now refer to Rob Em as "like button Robem"? _________________________ I think we are all pretty much assured that Rob Em is either Scott or dr. g's alter ego-right?

• The kergo legend grows on a low rated blog? I won't steal that spotlight from him. I'm rob m? That one might actually be true. The lame insults about tampons, homosexuality, and whatever else? Not interested. You liking the comment doesn't change the fact that everyone was easily duped by a. Nonsensical rant. Until you can undo that, I win. And as long as you are a bitch on an online blog, I win.

• Richie?

• The "fake Kergo" described above was posted by Rob Em and his 12 email accounts; ya'll ain't foolin' nobody! Maybe a girl should make her way into said life? wHO HAS SHIT FOR BRAINS rOB? You don't have shit for brains, but gravy-queen? YUPPER!

• Dear Fake Kergo, I hit the "like" button to make your day buddy........welp, time to change your manpon! BTW, a little testy? Try Midol. Methinks you used multiple emails addresses my flacid, gay friend. AND, everytime you envoke the Kergo legend it grows.....you fucking faggot! Are you retarded "fake kergo"? Do you not get this game? He he. Tell mom "hi" when she's locking you in the basment, so you don't hurt the local cats-freak?!!!! ps-I know that invoke is spelled wrong above (git over it). You generate as much excitement as a veggie burrito at a football game-Lame? Si'.

• One problem with your little theory, shit for brains. Making things up doesn't make them true. http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/sportatorium/2011/03/cover_story_on_dez_not.php I didn't use multiple email addresses, and the comments after my post pretty much back that up. People thought it was the greatest post ever. Really I just said a bunch of incoherent shit and people ate it up. Now youu fucking bitch - and you are a bitch for being something as lame as kergo's fill in - yall can admit that kergo is a tired bit and maybe, just maybe you should re-examine your devotion to such an obvious, unfunny, one-note troll. Or you can keep being a bitch. You can't win. You're a bitch. All that you can do is admit it or keep being a bitch.

• Richie, they said Tiger was in contention 6 strokes out, because they know golf and they know Augusta. Two things you don't know.

• First of all it's Merten. Mer-t<strong>e</strong>n. Second, Richie's Shitts <i>is</i> a bit. No way he's in the upper tier at the end of the year.

• Here is an idea; get your own schtick. Maybe you could be the "gayest" poster of all time! Sounds like you envy the Kerg's. Secretly gay? It's ok buddy, we understand. The Ticket and Howard Stern ain't hard to do either, but, it uniquely there product. Butthurt, methinks yes. Cornbread ass? Methinks you have that also. Now go to the basment before moms beats you with a switch. More Kergo!

• Any idiot can use 8 email accounts and press the "like" button you fucking tool! Long live East Dallas, The Ticket, Honda and The Longhorns! Bitch. ps-sounds like someone be a little jealous.......ow, poor litta fakey wakey kurgie wurgie-faggot!

• Courage!

• Doubtful. Cumulus (ticket's parent company) just bought Citadel (WBAP and KSCS's parent company) and IIRC the multiples were in the 8-10 range. Ticket bills in the 15-20 million dollar range per year, I doubt highly that CBS would cough up 160-200 million just to buy the Ticket. But that also tells you why the Fan is sticking around. CBS knows you don't aim at a low biller, you aim for the big dog. The Ticket and WBAP have been 2 of teh biggest billers in teh market for years...

• Richie?

• Stay distanced Ed Rooster seems to know a lot about candy and babies.

• Sorry titty baby, but I can point to fake kergo posts with more "likes" and more responses than the real kergo could ever hope for. Face it. His schtick aint hard to do. It taint funny, either. What's real sad was u dumbasses bit hard on some of the fake posts. That makes the kerg lovers bigger fuck ups than he is. Long live Rooster, Addison, The Fan, Audi, and the Aggies.

• You said it.Too many fakers,haters and hoes around this neck of the interwebz.Wave yo' rebel flag high kergo!

• I have a Jaffe cd. Not gay (though I hear she is). It's really, really good.

• not the real kergo

• top things rednecks like to do: -people in the family -fat girls in looney tunes tshirts (w/holes) -Walmart on crank -party at the lake (preferably a muddy lake like Lavon or Lewisville -cheAP ASS BERA -smokes wit cigaret -girls who hump for coke (who needs teeth?) -Nascar -wave rebel flag so I look like a dipshit top things yanks think about rednecks: -how did they even put an army together during the civil war? -"souths gonna do it agin" DO WHAT, lose again? -why are rednecks so dirty funny? ps-more Real Kergo....I hope I filled in well this week; except for not mentioning any recipes. I don't cook. Die ALL FAKE KERGO. Grow a nutsack? Yup.

• Seem to me, Rooster, that Davy drew you offsides first. He jumped because you jumped. Half the distance to the goal. First down, Davy.

• If they sign him next year, we'll get an I told you so. Mark my words.

• That's damn near a textbook APA citing for Richie compared to his Iggy to the Mavs "source".

• he did reference it buddy. "Only because Oklahoma City is athletic like we are and they have two great players," he told ESPN radio. well?

• Understood, but if you actually own a Sarah Jaffe cd, gay or not gay?

• Local music gal doing well..didn't have much of a problem with it..bet it was still more riveting than the tardline. (I'm a homer though)..sometimes you get what's on Warsh's ipod, sometimes you get Sara Jaffee

• My sweet Jeebus! You've once again outdone yourself Richie.Exceptional post as always.No wonder you make a cool $70,000+/a year and enjoy an ardent following here on your very popular sports blog.I can only hope that one day i too will enjoy a lucrative career such as yours.It's plain to see why your ratings are moving in the right direction and why 105.3 The Fan has not only survived,but thrived.Despite the haters(fake Scruffy) and the hoes(kergo).Keep up the exceptionally scrumptious good work as always chap!

• I know that you must have simply overlooked referencing that the Karl quote about wanting to face Mavs in the playoffs come DIRECTLY from a one on one interview he had with ESPN 103.3's Ian Fitzsimmons.

• I know you are joking but stock cars don't have mufflers. Thats why most people(if you don't have ear plugs or scanners) leave the track deaf for a couple of hours.

• Heh. Heh. Heh....you're too easy.... Drawing you offsides is almost like taking candy from a baby.

• I guess I forgot about the tardline yesterday and a 2 segment JO session with Sarah Jaffee(sp?) wtf? Anyone else? The Twitterers were falling over themselves to make sure they got the unticket to record it. I guess I don't get it.

• Richie will be the one running under Tony's car for the loose lug nuts. Careful you don't get your hair plugs burned on the muffler.

• Really just depends on how they're going to invest it. You could definitely diversify, but if 25-50% of your investments tank(and shit with the way the world is going it's possible) you're lucky to break even. Investing in tech and emerging markets have done well for me the past 2 years, but that's going to dry up eventually. If you can find me a financial planner that can get me a 10% return after his fees, I need his info asap.

• 4% is doable? Where? Please send that to me because 2.55 is the highest I've seen on a 5 year jumbo. If you want your money to be safe in a cd that is.

• I guess I had never thought of this before or considered it, but is RW's naysayingness due to the fact that CBS will eventually just cough up enough money to buy KTCK and move everyone? Stranger things have happened, and as a caveat, I don't know shit about the radio business. I just know what I like hearing and what I don't.

• Richie while you're watching NASCAR, give a shoutout to fake kergo out there in the cheap seats. You'll know him when you see him, and the boy with him isn't his son so call the cops on his dumba$$. Time to relax. Carrots, onions, celery, garlic, pepper, chicken broth, beer, flour, milk, cheese, and mustard. Nothing fancy, just a little soup. 20 minutes, and mix the beer in half way. All the Sox haters need to remember it's a long season. Take it slow kids, because history is on the side of the Sox. The only good news for the Rangers is Selig doesn't rig baseball like Stern does baskketball. Sorry, but the ratings don't lie. Now Richie might lie about the ratings, but the ratings themselves don't lie.

• They throw that ball within 6 inches of those corners this weekend and I'm gonna spray that ball all over the yard. First half tear on a first place team. Deja Vu all over again.

• dont forget the ,"shouldnt you be in school"

• Don't worry fruitcake, you didn't make me feel butt hurt. Care to use any of your other old bits? Perhaps tell me to get off my dad's computer? Maybe make a joke about doing my mom?

• "What the what" and question headlines are played out, but they still pop up all the damn time.

• I think it'd be safe to assume you could net more than 4% interest on your $1 mil. 8-10% is probably more realistic unless your financial planner really sucks.

• steves, to your point about cbs switching to sports in alot of markets: just know that there has never been a market with 3 successful sports radio stations. this will prove no different. just listen to 105.3's hosts and their ignorant insistence to keep 3 dumb broads around. proves the theory of bruce gilbert being in cahoots with ktck. he wont change the bad hosts and will hire on the cheap so as to not compete with the ticket. as for 105.3 vs 103.3: the fail is about to get boatraced in the ratings battle. expect espn radio to gain on the lil ticket over the summer thanks to rangers fever.

• When you get more men in the coveted demo listening to Mix and Kiss than your all-sports station, it's probably about time to push the reset button. Advertisers want markets, but they also want targeted ears. And I don't recall hearing too many national ads on the Fail, unless cabarets and hair replacement places are nationwide.

• LOL You forgot about the horrible Sybil and Armin. They contribute to the ratings free fall as well. Whenever they get on air if you listen carefully you can hear 5 of the 10 listeners changing the station. Apparantely CBS wanted the ratings to fall in pm drive. Richie wrote in whitt's end that management told him ratings were headed in the right direction. I have never heard of anyone wanting to have bad ratings but maybe this a new strategy by management. I like Greggo and he deserves better.

• League results through the first week: Davy Crockett #1 Scott's Merkin #2 The Richie Shitts #3 (we all thought he was a bit) Merton #4 I'm just ahead of TRDP1 (thanks trdp1 for without you, I'd be in last), and haven't got a win from my rotation yet...I feel a big weekend coming on.

• because ke knows CBS doesn't expect to ever beat the Ticket. They just need to do well enough to make a little bit of money locally to add to the national dollars they're aiming for... Then CBS should really consider changing the name to the Fail. Live 105.3 was doing much better than they probably ever will.

• Sorry honey, I didn't mean to make you feel butt-hurt...

• the station may not be going anywhere for the short-term, but richie is all but certainly gone by the end of his current contract. you can't justify taking over pr drive and slashing its PPM ratings in half. at their free fall rate ever since taking over in november, they will be sub 1 by june. pretty sad considering you got a guy over 50 still snorting and fighting and the other near 50 still trying to be hip. "DISGRACE YOUR AGE" - the Tardline

• Scruffy- sure it would be cheaper, but you have to understand why Richie says 'we ain't going anyplace'. CBS switched a pantsload of stations nationwide to sports. (Mostly failed or failing Free/Live FM stations). They don't really care about local ratings, they're competing with the ESPN's and Sporting news networks for national dollars. All the big advertisers care about is that they're on in X number of stations in the top 10/20/50 markets. And that they can do it cheaper than buying a bunch of high priced/successful local stations (the Ticket here, WFAN in NY, WEEI in Boston, etc) That's why Richie is convinced his job is safe, because ke knows CBS doesn't expect to ever beat the Ticket. They just need to do well enough to make a little bit of money locally to add to the national dollars they're aiming for...

• Rooster - you are right on the $40K. That is what you should expect. Now pay taxes on that. Around $8K.. That leaves you $32K. But just to round up, lets say that you have creative writeoffs and that leaves you $36K or $3K per month. COBRA coverage? For a single guy? $1000K/month. That leaves $2K. Car payment, gas and insurance? $550, and that's driving a LPOS. That leaves $1450 per month. Crappy apartment and utilities (gas/electric)? $700 (and that is living in a dump -- realisticly you are at $1000). That leaves $750 for food, clothes, TV bill, phone bill, Internet bill. Trust me, I've thought long and hard about this. $1MM is not doable even for a single guy. You need $3MM for a single guy and $6MM for a guy with mortgage, wife and kids. Sorry Richie.

• You're a great American sir.

• About as played out as you saying "meh".

• I guess you want him to bash Christians again, or maybe bring up radio ratings? Kind of played out, don't you think?

• No arguing points in this Whitt's End. Just a bunch of obvious stuff. What the hell, RW?

• Well if RW is going to be in Tony Stewart's pit Saturday night, Tony will be able to claim that were the best but only finished 21st.

• Stars - It pains me to say this - but stick a fork in them; they're done. Sox - Should consider mixing in a win if they want to be taken seriously. New School - 3rd rate East coast blowhard + Dude no one's ever heard of = Fan is going on the cheap and not trying to compete in that spot. Tiger - meh. Tyron Smith - We're sure this guy is a #9 pick and not a #15 pick Jerry will take at #9? Elizabeth Haselbeck = Hot. I feel sorry for the dude that has to listen to her talk, but she's still hot. $1 million - at 4% per year = $40k per year without touching your principle. It's doable. You won't be able to Chris Chris your way through Dallas, but there are plenty of families who survive on $40k per year. DMN - I dig it and it's not overpriced for me yet. They provide a service I use and value, and they deserve to be compensated for it. Superbowl - meh. Nascar - meh.

• All I can say is if the Red Sox are really supposed to be the beast of the American League, they might want to try mixing in a win....

• So CBS is rolling out a half-assed sports show in the mornings to kinda-sorta compete with the Musers but really only hoping to eat into Mike & Mike's share. M&M suck lately, and I'll give it a try during Muser breaks, but it's an interesting strategy. Plus afternoon drive has pulled numbers that aren't even a good interest rate on a checking account. And now the Rangers are gone. My point? Wouldn't it be far cheaper for them to roll out a classic rock or Spanish music station and go with a fraction of the payroll and draw better ratings without hardly trying? And they could still put NASCAR and Cowboys games on on weekends? I would think that's been discussed around a conference table and is a valid option. Tardline has been Tampa starting the season bad. You know, kinda lost, the vet has been out and is not hitting well, the rest of the crew with marginal talent in over their heads... Elf this week without Josh was bad too. But Dan was getting on my nerves this week too, to be fair and balanced. I'm the fan from Major League 2 when it comes to the Mavs. They suck until they prove me wrong and then I'll come back triumphantly. But I've switched 95% into baseball mode. Have to agree with you about Tiger. I always root for the field against him, only because the ESPNs of the world cover that jackass like he's a god. A dude tweets he expects to be drafted by the Cowboys. Take him off the board. That instant. What more proof do you need he's not that bright and a potential disruption verbally? They should draft with intelligence as a priority, but they won't. Interacted personally with Hasselbeck when she was post-Survivor, pre-View. She's incredibly sweet and very down-to-earth. At least then, perhaps she's changed. She's annoying with her views, but that's her job. Great to look at too--I've always rooted for her. You should be able to live comfortably on interest from a well-invested million. Something Dez should look in to. Can't blame you on the paper, and it probably hurt seeing how you've done that for work. But the DMN is now horrible and they keep jacking the prices. I bailed a long time ago. The Belo salary/bonus news only justified my decision to not give them a dime. Rangers take the streak to 9.

• My Four OBSERVERations: #1: million bucks could you retire, depends on how old you are and how old the kiddoes/how many you have...Single douchewad radio guy with bad hair and pushing fiddy, yeah you would probably be ok...plus your English bf probably has plenty of scratch..I hear the "jaggers" are really good with their money. #2: Rangers are playing like everyone doubted them...picked against them..didn't believe in them..even after going wire to wire last year. Sure they lost Clee, but we were a damn good team before he got here last year...and that was with Hands of Stone playing 3B. #3: I'll be a stanger tomorrow RW, but I will be attending the race manana..(In a Sweeeeeet Suite...I'll tell Dennny Hamlin y'all said hey) #4: Fake Kergo is a tool, get your own name sissy boy.

• 1. Injuries happen to everyone. There's more wrong to this team than one player. You'll get your wish if the Mavs get out of the first round. He should be available for round 2, I mean hell, the first round takes at least 2 1/2 weeks anyways. I guess, using this logic, once he's back the Mavs are going to win it all. 2. Stars are dead, sorry boutya. 3. I think I heard any team that has started worse than 0-4 has never made the postseason. It's going to be hard to climb your way out if NY gets a big start. 4. Jagger---I didn't care for his show, well not after they axed Mondo and Dean, I did listen somewhat when they were on. Barsky was a nice guy but not morning drive, Henson is a douche. Jagger is classy, I did tune in to see how he would handle things. I think he knows just as much as anyone that this wasn't going to work and was probably lucky to be there as long as he has. Good luck in the future to him. I give the new show, 6 months. 10. That guy is ridiculously good. Does he carry the ball? I think all point guards do, even Steve Nashty. So what? If they're not going to call it they're not going to call it. Dude is MVP, head and shoulders above everyone this year. 11. If I was a single male in my 40's with no wife, kid, child support, then yeah. 12. His love for Tebow and inability to handle life after him is amazing. I will say this, because I think you're blowing it out of proportion. Doing an analyst gig with ESPN is a lot more flexible than a full time coaching position. 13. once a month, kids love bowling. I've never been fascinated with the professionality to it and I don't consider it a sport. 14. F the DMN. Any news that I need that's urgent I can get on the Observer's blog. Wilonsky and the crew are on top of their shit(gotta respect a guy that does 7+ posts a day AND responds to his commenters...what the what??) 15. F the super bowl. No offense Arlington, but I could care less what you made from the super bowl. I'm always going to be bitter that the Dallas Cowboys don't play in Dallas. 16. I wish I could get into Nascar....but no not feeling it. I do like watching it more than hockey though.

• Hurry back Kerg's, we can't take another day of the overt gayness of "the fake kergo". Methinks he likes man's.

• What is The Fan rolling out Monday? Some show called "Larry and the Tiger"?! Isn't it time to give up yet? Jagger is one of the only reasons to listen to the THE FAIL, other than Arnie (sorry RW).

• i will make your a$$ look like greggo's face when im done. i will give your anus a concussion

• Wow, the Kerg's is gone til Monday,and lookey here-an imposter. Do the people at "the home" know that you are using the computer. Welp, time for counting to three and playing blocks, not bad for a thirty five year old. When you get out, you can get a job at Walmart pushing carts into peoples legs! Or here is an idea.......maybe start getting into girls, and lay off the cat murdering for a while? Meanwhile, it's the guys that post about gay stuff that are ALWAYS the gayest. Bring the REAL Kergo back!

• jagger is and has always been a sweet guy. class act. you know he's loved and respected when he was given the opportunity to do the rarest thing in radio: say your on-air good-byes AND welcome in your successor choppy and shareef arent am drive material, however. expect a lineup shift by the start of fall. josh & elf will be am drive in the not too distant future. BET ON IT

• Speaking of getting a new one drilled.................... those Red Sox. Just say'n.

• Damn you oaklawn shawn! Damn you! Henson and Jagger are gone from the Fan. Up next, Richie and Lacey. If they make it through the next quarter I'll let Oaklawn Shawn drill me a new one. Hell, even if they're not gone I'll let him drill me a new one.

• 1st heteros!
