Rossi is pretty irrelevant these days.

Another Sunday with Tab Douglas. Great guy, great radio.
I really like Tab. I wish they could give him a shot on weekdays (unless he has turned it down before) even as a fill in for someone.

I'd like to see him fill in the net time Mullzy goes away, for no other reason than I've known a few guys in real life that acted like Mullzy and I didn't like any of them. And I'd rather listen to Tab

I heard a rumor way back when he was on 1250 am that he had a real job where he made a lot of money and didn't need the full-time gig.

Colin Pittsburgh Dad Jr. thinks the endowment at a university is like a giant piggy bank.
Pitt has an over $3 billion endowment. It’s time to dip into it, (over)pay up for a basketball coach and decide the University wants to be a player again in hoops. No excuses.

I’m glad that 99% of the replies are people telling him that he’s stupid.

I see Pittsburgh Dad Jr.'s now going the "If you never bothered caring about Aliquippa before then you can't have an opinion on how they handle their coach" route.

A few weeks ago the guy was a social justice warrior. He's a bad take machine.

'If you never deeply cared before, you can't have an opinion now' is a pretty bold prerequisite to lay down for a guy who's entire career is giving his take on things.

Everyone's favorite former dead tree sports columnist's site announced a price increase effective April 8, up $10 per year to $39.99. The Athletic comes in and announces a special baseball season sale which drops the price to just below the other site's price. :lol:

“Have you ever wondered what is said with our Fan Hosts when the mics are turned off? You have the opportunity to find out and be able to ask your own questions at Jergel's Rythym Grille for Fan Uncensored on Wednesday, March 28th at 6pm, brought to you by RevTown Jeans.”

Wish I could make it.

In reference to this tweet?

“The trashing of men is really getting old. Especially when they're whining using tools invented by men, while inside buildings they couldn't build, using electricity they wouldn't have if women were counted on to install the cables. Patriarchy has its benefits.”

That’s the one. I’d love to know the machinations of that take, like what broken thoughts merged together to form such an objectively dumb tweet.

The Fan uncensored thing sounds interesting, but I'm glad it will be tonight so they can stop endlessly promoting it every other second along with their ten seconds of sports talk. So sick of Mullezy hyping it beyond belief. He is so annoying. Hopefully someone asks him hard questions.

They're all going to give each other verbal dome, Pittsburgh Dad Jr. will probably do nothing but yinzer impressions.

I heard a commercial today on there with Mullsy advertising for Fat Head's. Running down the list of hipster beers, stops about halfway thru and says -"My wedding beer" -

That's such a Mueller thing to do. Both have Fat Head's on tap at his wedding and then to make sure people know it.

I would rank them in the order you listed them.

Now, I would say that in the last 3 years, my total time spent listening to these shows is:

Zeise -- 30-45 minutes
Morning Show -- 20-30 minutes
Starkey and Mueller -- 10 minutes
Cook and Poni -- f off

Yep. His wife and him took a trip recently and of course posted pictures of a Fat Head's that was there. Its almost as if FH pays him... Can anyone involved with The Fan not endlessly promote things?
