Is he also trying to get a documentary made about sports columnists for the Washington Post?

Sounds like a win-win for all involved!
"I am not throwing a hissy fit" ranks right up there, though, with "I am not a crook" and "Stop questioning my patriotism."

I love this.
"The reason I’m stepping down then isn’t because I’m throwing a hissy fit at being left out."
Okay. But then what do you call this?
"So, to be at the games this fall and see CBS there with their cameras following players around; knowing they’re in the locker room with their cameras; encountering people from CBS all the time, is something I simply can’t face. It’s a little bit like dating a girl for 10 years, getting dumped and then being invited to her wedding. I just don’t want to watch it."
So, you're quitting because you were left out. We can quibble over the term "hissy fit" but if you had been included or the documentary had never been made ... you'd still be there.

OMG, what are hashtags and why are they banned. I gather they have something to do with twitter. So I am showing my age in the ignorance of these #'s.

In other news, John Feinstein is leaving ESPN 980AM for 106.7 FM. According to 980 officials, Feinstein stopped appearing on Tony Kornheiser's show as a guest because he was no longer being paid for his appearances.

I am no Feinstein fan at all. But I have to admit that, without knowing the inner workings of the business, I would think that there would be some form of compensation for such appearances -- either that or some form of reciprocal agreement. If there isn't, then ... I can't say that I blame him. That being said, there's plety else to blame him for.

P.S. Also, the less I had to deal with Kornheiser -- especially without being paid to do so!!! -- the better!

I think the issue here is one of definition--Feinstein saw himself as a contributor (i.e., getting paid) versus a guest (no compensation). Some shows pay contributors (in salary or ad barter), others do not.
I've never doubted that John Feinstein is a good writer, but his ability to hold grudges gets the best of him. Walking away from the Navy radio job as described seems to be part of a pattern of late.

I'm no lawyer (the law school admissions process saw to that) but the judge had to declare a mistrial. Good move in the long run for the prosecution, too--had Clemens been convicted, the defense could appeal the decision based on this alone. Best bet for the prosecution is to start over with a new jury, and then get a clean conviction. Best hope for the defense is to hope for a favorable jury pool the next time around. What the hell? Admins, please move this post! ;D (sorry, DFW, I just couldn't resist...  ) Mod Note: John 16:24 |

If you don't like him, change the station. He's not as good of a talker as he was a writer, but his radio show is pretty entertaining (for some of us) (when it's actually on). |

Hifi worships Colin Cowherd and hates Kornheiser. Seems about right.

I don't worship Cowherd at all. But I don't like Kornheiser much either. He's just an egotistical talking head who thinks he's more important than the story ... whatever the story is.

By the way, the only reason I would mention Cowherd so much was that he used to have the show on the FM sportstalk show when I was on the way to work in the morning during the summer. Now that spot runs the Dan Patrick show. I can't pick up the AM show when I'm coming in from out of town, so I'm pretty much limited to whomever is in that time slot.

So let me get this straight. Pocky has one less outlet for his nonsense. All in all a wonderful development that should not be questioned. Check please.

So if somebody produces a documentary on the BB&T and doesn't use Feinstein, will he walk away from that s well?

Do UMCP's financial troubles go here (since there no doubt will be a Pocky Apologia), or do they deserve their own thread? EDIT: wapo.st/qHSnVOThanks for the head's up, Spirit. |
