Yep. When you make your whole site free (with ads everywhere) vs subscription, you gotta come up with crap to get clicks.

I’ve been meaning to post this but kept forgetting. For the past week+, Zeise has been on with Starkey on The Fan. I’m not sure if it’s been every day since I’ve only listened here and there, but he has been there every time I’ve had it on. What’s funny though is he’s on right now by himself. No Joe...

The national media takes about McCarthy staying versus Tomlin staying are….something. Only one I’ve seen calling it out.

Interesting re: Mack. Back when the rumors started and Madden chimed in, he basically said that come January, Pittsburgh Dad Jr. would be gone. But it’s actually Mack who’s gone and Pittsburgh Dad Jr. now does the evening show and stuff on the AM side. So was Mack the one that started it, if the rum...

Can’t say I’ll miss his “so how does that make you feel” interviews with players/their families, but it could always be worse.

Not sure when exactly it opened, but drove past the Raising Canes in Oakland on Wednesday and the line was going both ways down the sidewalk, and was pretty long on each side.

GDT #1: Pens vs Blackhawks

Organ music MIA, replaced with EDM versions of every song
I noticed this also during preseason. Pens always had some of the best music. Now it’s generic arena dance/pop music :roll:

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

OP already said it's not going to be Getzoff, but I would be happy if it was. Yohe just said Getzoff is replacing Mears, and it's unknown what Bourque will be doing (TV/Radio). Maybe Yohe has the ear of the person making the hiring (or Getzoff himself). My source is getting hired for a different ro...

The truest thing he’s ever said is that his writers are writers, not salespeople. I follow Taylor and Danny (RIP to his DK employment) for the Pens coverage. It was so annoying every time someone would ask a question, they’d respond to either read the article (which was behind a paywall obviously) o...

I think at the beginning they were 1099. Some might still be, who knows. But I think after that story came out a few years back about him/his wife, and the 1099 thing being part of that (IIRC), he supposedly changed it and now gloats about offering benefits, etc.

Oh, DK was definitely relishing in the news. And apparently lots of people were “subtweeting” him, including Kaboly and his ex-employee Sara Civian. And now he’s acting even more holier than thou (if that’s possible) because he’s offering some of those laid off people jobs! What a great guy, that DK...

His explanation for the change is that getting up at 2:45 am for 7-8 years sucks and he was “presented with this opportunity” to “go around to the different stations” and report on things. Basically KDKA-affiliated stations, not just Da Fan. Also, his reasoning for not asking a question was it was a...

Rode by the Boston Market in Greentree the other day and it was all boarded up. Not surprised in the least. That place had been going downhill for yearssss. I still enjoyed going once or twice a year though. Next closest one (from there) I believe is over in Shadyside.
