Lazy Tony Ortiz

What's the deal with the :60 second sportscast during the 6AM half hour (at 6:23) on WWJ with ZERO audio from last night's no hitter?

Pathetic!

Guess I'll have to listen to 97.1 near the top of the hour instead.

I was listening to him I believe at 6:53 this morning and he mentioned the no-hitter right off the top and then he mentioned that the Red Wings were keeping the current Red Wing coach for next season.

More people have probably been tuning in to 97.1 anyway, because of the awkward new time for the WWJ sports reports.

The TOH update at 7a on 97.1 was barely better.

No broadcast audio from the last out. No comments from Turnbull himself. No mention that it was the second no-no pitched against the Mariners this month. Just an all around pathetic effort by Ortiz and his producer.

His 10:23a sportscast on 950 was literally 20 seconds in length. The whole thing. WTF?

Why did they bump sports from :15 and :45?

I watched channel 2 this morning and they teased the no-hiiter at 8AM but didn't cover it until 8:45AM. Some mornings they don't even give late night scores in the morning show. Makes me wonder, if they are really a sports channel at all.

They did a nice job with it at about 5:40 a.m. Amy Andrews was really excited about it.

This has to be the easiest job in the world. I feel like such a dumbass earning a BS in chemistry and toiling in the pharmaceutical industry when instead I could’ve spent a total of 30 minutes of my day compiling sports audio for pithy updates and still made a living. Please tell me these update guys have real jobs elsewhere.

Stations do have time constraints on certain segments.

I have heard Tony recently on the anchor desk. Did he get 'demoted' from Sports? Or is he filling in for a missing anchor?

What an ass hat. “Demoted” to the anchor desk? You might want to look up the difference between demotion and PROmotion.

[MWmetalhead]

He seems to be backfilling the vacancy created when Jason Scott was promoted to morning drive following Tom Jordan's exit.

As a news anchor, Tony's delivery is a little robotic sounding but he's not bad.

He is fortunate to land at the news anchor desk, because I suspect at some point Audacy will reduce the number of local sports update anchors assigned to its all news and all sports properties and begin to centralize that function.

I'm more comfortable saying what someone *did* was "lazy" as opposed to saying they *are* lazy.

See the difference?

To say an African American male, in 2021, is lazy, brings about a negative stereotype that African Americans have fought against for hundreds of years.

Let's do better, shall we?

This is hilarious.
Welcome to Buzzboard Factso.
It's like a bar or backyard bbq. We laugh and talk. We bullshit back and forth. We sometimes get passionate about what we believe. But I don't believe anyone here on the Buzzboard holds a grudge. We're like brothers. We'll fight and scream at each other sometimes. But at the of the day, we share pictures of our cars, our food, our beer and licker, and where we eat.

So why don't you just take your self-centered egoistical judgmental ass, and go play in the middle of 696.
(And if you can't take this in stride, maybe you're in the wrong place).

You didn't change my mind with your post.

You just don't get it, do you?
Your not going to change my mind.
I'm not going to change your mind.

It's social media. You log in. I log in.
You spew your thoughts.
I spew my thoughts.
You log off. I log off.
Everything we spew back and forth is forgotten about until the next time we log in.

Ever since someone posted a picture of lovely Amy Andrews in a bikini, no one will ever change my mind that she is the one for me. If only we could meet just once, I'm convinced she would fall madly in love with me, and we would live happily ever after.

And you'll never change my mind.
