Re: Weather Boys
The demographic on this board is likely white men in their 50's, not the target audience for early morning news or the Nine. It isn't 1975 anymore. You can't just read the news and weather and give sports scores. The young people want to be entertained. They want fun, they want to connect personall...

Re: Weather Boys
Um, yeah, pretty much. It's already happened. How many people under 40 watch the evening or morning news on a regular basis? I don't know of any. They get their news from social media. Same with reading a newspaper. Does it suck? Absolutely, but look around. Things have changed.

Re: Rob Parker to lease WXYT 1270
The feedback in the Det News comments section to Parker's new venture is overwhelmingly negative. I thought this comment on the article from C.S. was worth quoting here............ "In a nation and culture already divided, we continue to self-segregate and divide ourselves further. Sports used to b...

Re: Stoney
She shouldn't even be there. She brings nothing to the table. I predict some ratings erosion for 97.1 in the weeks and months ahead. This. Sara was great, I never got the reason for the switch. Other than her being "hotter", but it's radio. She's got an annoying voice and just reads the news off a ...

I remember listening to the Sunday Sports Albom back in the day thinking whoever this other guy is, he's so much better than the little scab, Mitch.

Re: Weather boys on Fox 2
I dunno, but Alan Longstreeet is no longer wearing a wedding ring and is sporting the 5 o'clock shadow look and his "family" photo for the Christmas segment didn't include his wife, only his daughters. Maybe him and Derek got something going on.

Re: WOMC's Jim "JJ" Johnson Announces Retirement
I don't get all the "What will he do next?" posts...I don't know his exact age, but gotta be late 60's if not older and long past the get off my lawn stage. He's not some star pushed out in his prime. He seemed to make it clear, he wanted to travel and do other things while he still can. Doesn't see...

Re: Donna Smilovitz, Bernie's wife, has passed away
Does it again in the Bobby Knight column. He was nice to him when he was writing his book about Bo. What sports column obituary would be complete without invoking the plight of the Haitian children? He's insufferable.

Re: Donna Smilovitz, Bernie's wife, has passed away
Of course Mitchell Baum makes it about himself I don't see that at all from reading the story. You're the only one who's making this about Mitch. Get over it. Perhaps it's time to seek help from a mental health professional. He may not make it ALL about himself. But yet he can't let a column pass w...

Re: Matt Shepard Out After Five as Bally Sports Tigers' PBP...
Dan Dickerson is employed by the Tigers, not Bally and he's not going to TV. Mario publicly stated he's not interested in the job. Whether it's just posturing or he really doesn't want the job remains to be seen.

Re: Henson was right! Jim Costa to succeed Stoney in mornings.
Was there anyone that didn't think Costa was going to be the guy? It was clear from the moment he was brought in that that they were waiting for a permanent spot to open up for him. He was never weekend guy material.

Re: Stoney
I can't imagine it going to anyone but Costa. He's so superior to anyone else at the station. Janssen is to new and just not that good. They need a pro like Costa to be paired with him.
