Not because of the show's success or lack thereof, but rather to Cash's Mavs duties and Mike's ever inching toward the management side of things.<br /><br />(ii) Scot Harrison's presence grows. He becomes a weeknight host, and eventually MaSS changes its name because it's now hosted by Matt and Jake.<br /><br />(iii) In conjunction with (ii), the success of Intentional Grounding sparks a slew of weeknight shows. Harrison hosting one such show. Thus the programming schedule is all local until 11pm. THL ends at 7, the new show (IG-Fri, Harrison-MW, Newbury and SeaBass-TTH) runs till 9, then the Top Ten takes over until 11, which gives way to CBS national feed--due to the merger between Cumulus and CBS.<br /><br />(iv) Danny leaves The Ticket. Yes, I said it. I don't like it. But I think it's going to happen. I think he's ready to move on to other things. Perhaps move to Boston or even Nashville (music). He's a musician, and that's what truly drives him and that's how he wants to make his mark in the world. And he knows he's not getting any younger (45, I believe). Time to make the move, now or never. His replacement: one Mike Bacsik. He's no longer deemed too hot to handle. And with his addition, Rhyner is reeled back in from constant, one might say teenager like, music talk and finds himself reinvigorated, just as he was in the halcyon days.<br /><br />(v) See (iv), The Orphanage, RIP.<br /><br />(vi) I believe that 2013 is the last year for one of our beloved shows: Dunham and Miller. I think the Joonz finally says "I'm done, let's tawk gahwfff." He's nearly quit a few times in the past, and I think he, like Danny (but for much different reasons) is ready to move on. <br /><br />(vii) The FAN is still with us. So is RaGE. But only for a while. By July, CBS finally says "enough," and pulls the plug. Greggo finally, and permanently, moves to Colorado.<br /><br />(viii) Ready for this one? MTC, as we know it, says "adios, amigos." Yup. Plainsman decides that no longer has the time to maintain the site. He hands over the reins to T4, and this thing keeps on rollin'.<br /><br />duckandcovernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-88507477261416809462012-12-19T12:53:20.463-06:002012-12-19T12:53:20.463-06:00I understand, I think, why the Cowboys did what th...I understand, I think, why the Cowboys did what they did as far as supporting Brent. The hard truth here is that that TWO men made a very, very poor choice. One paid with his life, the other is making payment as we speak with the legal curtain falling on him soon. <br /><br />Here is what I think happened: so many around the nation were praising the Cowboys for their support of Berry, which caused them to over-play their hand this past Sunday. They took a good thing too far, and lost some of the good will they built up.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533539785876458480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-45673846393509794062012-12-19T06:58:11.638-06:002012-12-19T06:58:11.638-06:00Also: A big MTC welcome to Mr. Les White.Also: A big MTC welcome to Mr. Les White.The Plainsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312877844275731926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-35555527781911775452012-12-19T06:57:14.662-06:002012-12-19T06:57:14.662-06:00Mr. White: I'm not entirely sure, but I belie...Mr. White: I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that if you open a Blogger account (it's free, and you don't have to actually create a blog) and get to this site on a computer where you use Blogger, one of your choices when you've composed a comment will be your Blogger name. As veteran Confessor T4 said, it's not clear whether this works every time, but in my experience it is a way to avoid the captcha and having to type in your preferred name.

I can see where anyone would be hesitant to take Jerry at his word, but Garrett is another story.<br /><br />I do think your second point is spot-on. It does send out, at the very least, a confusing message. From what I've heard today, he will no longer be on the sidelines, he will not travel with the team, and he will no longer be a matter of public discussion on the Cowboys' side of things. <br /><br />Listening to THL's analysis of Josh Hamilton presser.

Appreciate the additional information, heard the Musers reviewing it this morning. But:<br /><br />(1) I'd say the chance of Jerry not knowing about that, and that the organization is fibbing about not knowing, is around 50-50. That didn't come up until he'd embarrassed himself by implying that Reed's moms had requested it. (If you listen to what he said, he didn't come right out and say that she'd asked that he be permitted to stand on the sideline -- but it's plainly what he hoped to convey.) The Cowboys management doesn't have any credibility (with me), so I see no reason to embrace that explanation over the more obvious one that the Cowboys control their sideline.<br /><br />(2) Even if true, my point was that this embrace of alleged homicidal felon Brent was creepy almost from the Saturday it all came out. The expressions of outreach by Cowboys management were excessive and gratuitous from the get-go, and probably gave Brent and the players who allegedly let him tag along to the game the idea that, hey, everything's cool with the team.The Plainsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312877844275731926noreply@blogger.com
