Whitt's End: 9.9.11

Hey Hack (RW), check out what a real writer looks like: http://joeposnanski.blogspot.c...

I wonder if that was the real Greggo or not. It certainly kicked up the comment count on an otherwise ordinary post. Taking my daughter to the Ballpark this weekend. Her first game. She finally showed enough interest in going to justify taking her out to see the wonders of the great game. It will still probably be mostly about cotton candy and whatever else she can talk me into buying, but maybe she will pick up something simply by osmosis. Rangers: it ain't over yet.Cowboys: over before it started.Not particularly interested in nutkicking RW for no reason. He irritates me when he dismisses hockey and then shows an unfathomable desire to talk about tennis. Yeah, the daily lists from training camp became tiresome too, especially when there was plenty of other shit to talk about. Still, it is a more interesting venue than most bloggy blogs, if only for the comments. Not counting Sloppy, random BS insults require all the brain power of an amoeba.

nice pre-show prep guys. ESPECIALLY on the nfl picks.absolutely deplorable radio. 

greggo is back to smoking crack again.he's losing his voice.

at least dickie whitt is consistent at sucking at writing/radio.

when u come to think of the Tardline, its a perfect marriage.neither ever has an original sports point.they just read it and then say it or ask someone who knows and never give credit.

i gotta give greggo credit though, he's been fooling dumb PDs for 13 yrs now.the guy is SO generic when it comes to sports knowledge.hates the internet b/c it disproves his sports inaccuracies.

dickie meanwhile was canned from the telegram when they realized he was empty.wait, he wasnt canned. they told him they were in essence firing him.then he practically works for free for a free paper and says he left for that gig.

i never thought i'd say it, but these 2 are so bad that they make barsky & gregg sound like the musers a/k/a marconi winners.

I hate to pick nits, BUT Richie gives me no choice. Be sure you add in all the Ticket's ratings, 1310+104.1+interent (which do count). When you do the Hardline has a 9.1 in PMD. The reason that is important is because when you add up Rage (4.8) and Galloway (4.1)  you get a 8.9, which together doesn't equal the Hardline's audience. So congratulations I guess on beating shitty music stations and WBAP.

RW:

Please give strong consideration to changing careers.  You should not be writing.  You should be selling shoes at Payless.

I found Richie and Armen! http://www.google.com/imgres?q...

It does sound like the Cowboys are in a rebuilding year, butmaybe they will surprise everyone kind of like the Mavs did this year. And justlook at Green Bay last year. Nobody thought they would win and they snuck intothe playoffs and got hot. Who am I kidding?…this team is going to blow balls.

Still don’t think the AL West race is over.  3 weeks left with only a 2.5 game lead? Itain’t over until it’s over and it doesn’t matter who either team is playing. LastI checked they are all Major League ball clubs that can win games.

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since 9/11. I lovedlistening to the Musers play back their audio from that day.  Gave me chills.

On Radio ratings, It doesn’t appear that RAGE is the showbringing the Fan down below ESPN. So, who is it? I bet it’s New School. Haven’tlistened in a couple of months, but that show is garbage.  Nobody but maybe RJ Sloppy wants to listen to2 guys who aren’t from this area and don’t root for our teams have fake, contrivedarguments. You didn’t give us this info., but if New School isn’t beating Mikeand Mike, that should be unacceptable.

I actually listened to your show for the first time in awhile yesterday. I know people like to knock on Greggo for his problems, but Istill love him on the radio. Sybil on the other hand is still not good. Sorry,but she isn’t and her segments suck. Having 2 Fantasy girls see who can chugBBQ sauce the fastest is horrible radio and whoever thought that was goodenough to air needs to take Good Radio Bits 101.

I am one of the ‘kids’ you are referring to about thinkingyou stole that comment from the Musers. I was wrong and I am ok with it. Youhave stolen shit before, so your reputation preceded you. That doesn’t make meirrational. It was very rational for me to think that. Glad to see you stillread our comments though, I didn’t think you did anymore.

Grantland.com, as I mentioned yesterday, has a lot of goodstories to read. Not sure why you don’t like it. Did you try and get Simmons tohire you for the site and he declined? Usually when you hate on something it’sb/c they did something to you. i.e. the Ticket not hiring you and the Rangersleaving the Fan.

I actually planned on being at Frankies on Sunday night to watchthe game. For real. It’s new and only a few blocks from me, so some friends andI wanted to check it out. Maybe I’ll come up to you and kick you in your nutsin person, that would be kind of fun. Also, it’s not in Sundance Square. Not everythingin downton Fort Worth is Sundance Square. A lot of Dallas people don’t seem torealize that.

Have a great weekend everyone!

My Ender

-I like how you proclaim the Rangers having it in the bag. If they end up going down the drain, then you can say "can you believe it?". Any updated on that paternity article? It's the part about the Rangers that we're most excited hearing about from you.-You're lucky to have been there before 9/11. It might have been cooler to have been there that day, but that's crazy. On 9/11 I woke up from a drunken haze to the Musers, and listened to everything happening. My cable hadn't been hooked up nor my tv plugged in yet since I have moved a few days before. Gosh, 3 kids later, and sometimes I miss being hungover on Tuesdays.-Good to see you guys going up in the ratings. I'll be listening on the way home because the Hardline mails it in at about 5:30 on Fridays. I do enjoy dead and gone everyday.-Vegas odds and Tennis? Meh. Unless you're putting Norm money on it, I could care less. You're using imaginary money, right? The only people that like tennis play it, which is less than 5% of your readers on here.-Read that article on Skrastins yesterday. Heart breaking. I hope the guy that wrote it doesn't get in too much trouble from his employer.-I had your back on the uniform thing. I am a P1, but I know when not to nutkick. -Can we stop with having us click to go to page 2? -How much did you get paid to do P90x? A friend gave me the dvd's, and they're fun to watch, I just haven't done anything yet.-Is banging strippers still fun? It kinda ruins it for me knowing she blew some dude in the corner a couple of hours before.

Have a great weekend boys!

F Jones :  take the over on the touchdowns (he will break a few open) and the under on the yards (no proven durability)

No p90x : play some full court basketball or hit the track and do a few 400s. Change it up so you don't get hurt. You are never to old to bust a gut and that's what it takes to stay in shape on a tight schedule.

SMH: Are they headed toward the big 12?

Ratings: I can handle some of RAGE but the production "extras" have me turning the dial as they seem geared toward the idiot factor.

Why don't you post your 9/10/01 photo some time?

In the history of 9/11, this has to be the worst Whitt's End ever!!

In amateur paraplegic arm wrestling... 

TCUWhiteTrash GREGGO:

Hey sweet clean @gordonkeith ...follow me...would love to say hello...plus i might say something stupid you can use

To all those who plan on attending the Brew at the Zoo this weekend Richie Whitt will be the MC. You've been warned.

Oh, we're sharing our weekend plans? I'm going to my high school reunion and playing D&D. I only wish I was joking.

In competitive toddler crocheting... 

I'll be drinking this weekend, again, and getting my ncaa/nfl foots on.I've got nothing.

I'm sure Romo can tell you how to play Patty Cake. Ask him next time you're spying on him in the bathroom.This week you get a meh for effort.

Ive gotta admit, Ive completely mailed it in at work this work.  Been studying fantasy football by day and packing for my move at night.  So Im moving on a weekend where the NFL starts, College has some great matchups and Nascar sets its field for the chase, and the Rangers will extend their lead by 3 games. all that and my cable wont be hooked up until thursday.  Heres to hoping some good ole rabbit ears pull in those digital local channels.  Mrs Merkin will have nothing to do with going out to watch any TV unitl the house is completely unpacked or the dman Cowboys game starts.  Yeah she told me my Chiefs game means less than her Cowboys game.

* It's not going to be a pretty season.

* Chill on the AL West? Didn't you say just a few days ago that..bah, flip-flop season is almost over anyway.

* I find that I'm more emotional watching the 9/11 documentaries now than I was on the actual day and weeks after the actual thing.

* "You mope around in 108-degree heat thinking you're missing football, then it turns 84 and you see TCU over Baylor"...Maybe the 108 degree heat got to you because it was Baylor over TCU.

* Ratings and mentioning The Musers? Let the nut kicking commence!

* Playing Patty Cake to get some ass? I don't know the dumbest thing I've ever done for ass, but it's probably as dumb as that.

* This weekend? I'll be in Albuquerque best manning a buddy's wedding. And getting drunk. And gambling. And probably passing out and pissing the bed. Do be a stranger.

Richie, thanks for including your post re: the driver for Karlis Skrastins' family. Great reminder that all of us may have someone we need to tell we love & care about them TODAY, since none of us have any guarantees about tomorrow.
