I will never forget when the Broncos traded Cutler, Dan was the only one that said who the hell is Jay Cutler and what has he done.

It's real easy to avoid IJB: don't listen to it. I mean, shit, you have to go out of your way to listen to it, so not listening ought to be easy. As far as TC goes......look, I get it that his departing attitude/AMA and his 'nothing to see here except the guy who hired me is bad and I'm good' attitude upon his return really turned/turns some folks off. Frankly, it turned me off too. But he seems to have FINALLY learned a little something about knowing your place, letting the game come to you, and even a tad of humility. His on air presence is exaggerated to the nth by some of you. It's ridiculous. AND. I listened to the supposedly heinous IJB, just this morning. With all due respect to DA (whose comments I usually find interesting and thought provoking) and a few others, neither Jake nor TC were making such claims, sincerely. Like another commenter said, it was CLEARLY self-deprecating. As far as Jake goes....I don't agree with everything or even a lot of what he says when he leaves the sports page. And yes he's a smart, educated guy, but no he's not the genius/smartest guy in the room that some have claimed in these comboxes. But what I have seen is a guy with genuine talent, smarts, and a biting sense of humor slowly but surely begin to grow up as a broadcaster and a person. Jake does a very solid to, at times, even great job. Both in his producing and hosting. He's not perfect and he has his share of forgettable and/or regrettable moments (don't we all?). On the whole, though, he's an asset now, and I imagine he will be even more of one in the future. We're lucky to have him at The Ticket. <br />ed fesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-16398530562537817622015-09-05T11:11:31.498-05:002015-09-05T11:11:31.498-05:00Shaggy, I agree.

I'm not going to make any rules, but this disproportionate obsession with one guy -- two if you count Jake -- who is not a major figure at the station is becoming very wearisome. I'll be tossing comments relating to both with greater abandon. <br /><br />The reason some have gotten through lately is because there was some fresh material in the form of the IJB installment, which I have not heard. But I echo the Confessor who could not conceive of why anyone with the animosity towards those two that some have would even listen to IJB.<br /><br />So yeah, my editorial "delete" pen is probably going to get a more vigorous workout if this trend continues.

A road trip last week afforded me some catch up play on my podcasts and I heard the salary episode you guys are so up in arms about. I really didn't hear the "this is bullsh, we should be paid more" tone you guys seem to reference, but more of a self deprecating, "wow we don't make shit, what's wrong with us?" kind of thing. Then again, I like what TC brings to the table most of the time, so I don't hold the same type bias going into an IJB episode as a lot of other confessors. It also boggles my mind that some who hold so much hate for a few JV guys on a sports radio station would listen to an independent podcast hosted by them. Talk about sadistic behavior.

Some have suggested that it lessens the number of voices on BaD, but it seems like Donnie actually brought a non-sportsy offering to the show. Different from Dan's. It seems like I either read on this thread (or heard it) that somehow Donnie would help 10-12 noon ratings. Why would this change? Donnie is not a younger voice. I really like Norm and Donnie-especially on their post game show. But after a week of this, it sounds to me like Norm says whatever he is going to say. There appears to be no dialogue between the two. Norm pauses and then Donnie says something. Norm's responses exist free of whatever Donnie said-it is like Donnie didn't say anything. <br /><br />I don't dislike Jake and TC like others on this forum, certainly not like DA (whose posts I enjoy reading). I do agree, DA, that complaining about salary is an empty endeavor and one likely to just piss people off. I only remember others, Bob, specifically talking about a Masters degree, not Jake. It seems like that was a smart idea for Jake as a check box move for hiring purposes. What I think is happening is many listeners are just pissed that the station is different now. For example, this morning the Musers played a Rant clip where the fake lead singer for Styx called in and ended up shooting himself. I thought it was funny. The inspiration that brought that about and so much else just isn't there, anymore. Add to that guys like Jake that didn't slum it in the same way as the other on air hosts...and the dynamic changes. Jake probably has paid his dues, though, in some fashion. He still sounds like a Jim Rhome-esque guy. Not my favorite, but I do appreciate the opposing view he offers. <br /><br />I predict Donnie is the next "host" to leave the station (outside of a Norm retirement). Not a sports guy...and not a real answer to the issues facing the station-a shame because he is a nice bit player. He would be wise to bail as soon as this co-hosting gig gives him opportunities elsewhere. Pragmatically speaking, this station has run its course in its current iteration. Plus, that stream issue continues to show that Cat won't address "easy" fixes that are driving listeners away. I know I don't listen nearly as much.

Punch out time. <br /><br />Since today's THL is from 3-5:30PM (and WTDS takes up 30 minutes), when commercials are added in, there might be an 80 minutes of their show. So Corby will use a segment to talk about TCU, just to mock the SMU and Baylor fans on the Boulevard. <br /><br /><br />Sorry Plainsman, I just listened to the August 12 IJB where TC and Jake bitched about salaries in front of a live audience. I stopped 30 minutes in on their b!tch session <br /><br />F*<k them! <br /><br />Both are lucky to have a job on Tuesday.<br />Remember that TC on his AMA said that he still did not have his Bachelor's Degree and he regretted it thus he forgets that he even starts at a lower standard for employment.<br /><br />Plus, if those two is/are that pissed, then try to get those like him to unionize like his sister station, KNBR did. If you know what others in the market pay, then get another job or try to unionize. At least Jake acknowledged that he had zero idea regarding the financials, but TC seemed to know know it all since he read the James Andrew Miller's ESPN book. Plainsman, please listen to Bruce Gilbert on that podcast and you will realize that Thomas Charles Fleming has EVERY characteristic which Gilbert frowns upon. It is not the departure to Pensacola which listeners dislike, it is not only the manner, but also the BS return. He did something to cause his departure, and has yet to own up to it. <br /><br />TC, YOU are hourly. TC, tells us the real story on why you were fired six weeks into your job as PD would assist the Metroplex into accepting you.<br /><br />ProTip: Jake, there are thousands of people who also have a Masters Degree like you and also make a similar salary or less, but do not live in Texas thus have more taxes to pay. Get over it, get a new gig, vote to unionize, or move. <br /><br />LeBatard starts on Tuesday from 9-Noon (Central).

I myself have not tuned in to BaD since Donovan's move.<br /><br />My issue with BaD has always been the bogdown. I like Bob a lot, and like Dan when he's serious about anything, or when he's called upon to carry a segment or a show. Too often on BaD, though, he's sniping and being sarcastic and making an unnecessary gag or setting up an exaggerated straw-man to bolster a weak argument or just be contrary. The way I've put it in the past is that too often it sounds like that show struggles to broadcast. <br /><br />If Donovan's move means that Dan begins exercising some show discipline and speaks coherently to the issue before the house, then BaD will be a better show.<br /><br />For the record: Although I don't listen to BaD a lot, when I do neither Jake's nor T.C.'s contributions are excessive, nor do they detract noticeably from the presentation. Even if you don't care for them much, it's inconceivable that they affect ratings. Obviously, even the handful (or fewer) of Confessors who keep bashing them here -- and I've been dumping a lot more of those lately -- are obviously still listening to the show. <br /><br />So really, men and women, if you haven't forgiven T.C. for his admittedly tone-deaf departure to Florida, if you're going to continue to flay the guy give us something of substance. Personally, while he's not my favorite, I think he's upped his game and doesn't motivate me to PO.The Plainsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312877844275731926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-27896478225329133402015-09-04T08:09:05.360-05:002015-09-04T08:09:05.360-05:002.7 for bad radio.
