Oh, Savannah!!


Hey, what gives?

For the longest time, The Ticket has been telling me that Savannah is my favorite Tight Ends girl.

OK, I have no reason for her not to be my favorite Tight Ends girl.

She seems like a nice girl.

I mean, I never actually met her, but she seems nice to me.



And she promised me in all those ads that:

     --  the beer is frosty;

     --  the food is mouth-watering; and

     --  the T's are poppin'!

I believed my favorite Tight Ends girl, nice Savannah. 

But today, I hear a couple of Tight Ends ads being read by some woman named Joanna, and she says that she's my favorite Tight Ends girl!

What happened to Savannah?  Why can't she still be my favorite Tight Ends girl?

I can't even find a photograph on the World Wide Webs identifying any of the many Tight Ends girls who appear there as Joanna.


I'm sure she's nice, maybe a nice as Savannah, but indications are scarce.

But here's the worst part:  Joanna promises that:

     --  the beer is frosty;

     --  the food is mouth-watering; and

that's it!

Joanna does not promise that the T's are poppin'!

Oh, she says the Tight Ends girls will all dress to impress.  But hell, so does Angela Merkel, and no one would claim that her T's are poppin'.   

So it seems we have come to the end of the era of the poppin' T's at Tight Ends.  Or at least the end of the era where Cumulus Standards and Practices will allow a sponsor to claim that visitors to its establishment will see young women's improbably large breasts exploding out of  their cotton-lycra blend tops.

Savannah, come back!

  1. Weird post, P. Lonely out there on the plains?

  2. Not as long as I have memories of Savannah.

    I was tempted to respond: "No, but I'm plain out here on the savannah."

    Hey, it's the possibility of the occasional nutbag post that keeps the Confessor coming back.

  3. Listening to the Cowboys pre-game on The Ticket.

    Sean Bass, David Newbury -- and guest Ticket host, Bob Sturm.

    So interesting.

    Bob has not stopped talking since the moment he was introduced. Sean and David almost completely silent. David tries to throw something in once in awhile, and Bob usually agrees with it and, having caught his breath, launches into his next lecture.

    Now you may think I object to this. I do not.

    First, you invite these guys on because you want a perspective that varies from those of the regular hosts. So happy to hear what he has to say. Have you ever heard Mike Rhyner when they order him to attend one of these shows? No, you haven't because he's almost completely silent.

    Second, I like Bob as a broadcaster on general principles.

    Third, he's really, really interesting and I find myself listening carefully. I like both Sean and David on this show and tune in whenever I can, but Bob's always got something worth thinking about. I have no problem with him dominating the proceedings on one of these rare appearances.

    Which will resonate with my upcoming BaD essay if I ever get around to it.

  4. Bob's going to be on today's postgame show with Jake and Donnie. Should be a great listen. Totally agree with your Bob take.

  5. I had wondered how they got away with that Tight End's ad from day one. It's just a bit too blue for over the air radio. Has it appeared on any station other than the Ticket? The Eagle or 105.3, maybe?

  8. Bits that flew 10 years ago - or even a year ago- don't fly today.

    No, just a long-time follower of the industry and observer of the way things are done.

    Greggo did a voiceover for a boat show and proclaimed it was full of "bad assed boats." That commercial played on almost every station in town. Over 90% of the stations edited the bad ass comment out.

    How many of the old bits went away when Cumulus come on board?

    Also never underestimate the power of a phone call to a station manager from a pissed off Mommie with a SUV full of kids.

  10. Has anyone else picked up on Newbury’s odd speech patterns? He often sounds drunk to me, slurring his words, but I’m confident that’s not the case. Maybe I just never noticed before but it seems like it’s just been in the last couple years. I hope everything is OK with him from a health standpoint.

  11. I think he might have some sort of speech impediment issue. I THINK. Not one hundo. Whatever the case, he does great work on the Cow pregame and NFL draft. Really enjoy his thoughts on these subjects.

  12. I was tuned in to The Hardline today when they were broadcasting the Garrett press conference. I've heard many of these, but this is the first one I've heard where the Ticket bailed out of it after not-too-many questions. Not a technical issue -- Ty (I think)came in over Garrett answering some question and said they were going back to broadcasting. Just shut off the feed and went back to regular Ticket programming.

    Have they been doing that a lot lately? Is this some editorial decision on the overall worthlessness of Garrett pressers? First time I can recall this happening.

    Didn't bother me. I value Garrett pressers about as much as I value most other athlete interviews, i.e., just a very tiny amount (there are exceptions). Just wondered if they'd done it before.

  13. P-diddy:

    I heard same, but thought it was Ty talking over the "moderator" (actual term escaping me) saying that the press conference was over. But I couldn't clearly make out what was being said behind Ty, so maybe I'm wrong on that one. Anyone else hear that yesterday?

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm glad to hear they are not airing the entire press conference. I always tune out of those things. Garrett has never had anything to say that I found interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  15. They definitely just dumped out of the press conference in the middle of it. (Black) Joe Trahan was just starting a question when Ty said "That'll wrap it up"

    ReplyDelete
  16. Yeah, Surly, that's sure what it sounded like to me. Might have been a sponsor thing, not necessarily a disguised editorial decision on the worth of Jason Garrett's responses to journalist questions.

  17. D'oh! This morning's picks against the P1's included a game that was played last night. Rockwall beat Arlington Martin 42-35!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Never mind, my mistake, the Rockwall-Arlington game was the JV teams. Tired head, mea culpa. I'll take my answers off air...

  19. I just heard the Joanna ad--literally, five minutes ago--and she did in fact promise poppin' Ts. Could that be the influence of the Plainsman?
