Pittsburgh Sports Media Thread

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) or the person could ask in the comments of said article. In other words, trying to sell a subscription. Glad to see that tactic failed.

Alex Stumpf is a great baseball writer too, and I'm glad we'll be able to share all of the site's work in here without the paywall **** block.

I'd still very much prefer to not post any of DK's articles on site. A) He doesn't need the promotion, B) He doesn't deserve the free visits since he's such a ****** about people posting his links/content on other sites, and goes out of his way to threaten.

Do you mean anything from that site or DK's actual columns?

Postby **Morkle** » Mon Aug 14, 2023 9:14 am

Anything from that site for the most part. Tweets are fine - but I wouldn't want to give DK really the pleasure of anything. It's obviously not going to happen - and I'm not that hardline on the rules, that's just my preference, that he doesn't benefit from us in any way.

I'll stick with that (tweets only), but do you think he would change that stance since he's basically dropping the paywall on articles?

Mark Madden is becoming insufferable when it comes to talk about Kenny. We get it guy, you like Ben more. Kenny is living in his head rent-free, and I don't even think Kenny has said anything.

Looks like Pittsburgh Dad Jr. will be hosting the nighttime slot for the foreseeable future. Yay….

Producer should be worried. It's 1v1 now.

Sorry, couldn't find the sports media thread. Who is on 93.7 FM now?

I love living in Pittsburgh where I tune in to teh Fan (yeah I know, my 1st mistake) to hear about last night's Penguins loss and the #1 topic about the hockey game is a chant about a Steeler coach.

Also apparently they have a new studio? It's malfunctioning and Cook and Starkey can't be on mic at the same time

Is that Pedro Pascal? Never saw that meme before. Up there with the Ray Liota meme

Yep. I thought the initial laughing followed by tears was an appropriate match to my feelings on the subject.

Not really sports related, but DK related, so might as well put it here.

Saw a retweet of DK saying he was not voting yesterday for anyone associated with Ed Gainey because they are destroying the city he loves, but yet in the next breath will yell at anyone that says downtown is becoming a **** hole and getting destroyed.

Reminds me, I need to check in on steigerwald. Bet he’s on tweet bender after the county executive results

DK is having an absolute melt-down on the elections yesterday. Being a total pissbaby.

Postby **Troy Loney** » Wed Nov 08, 2023 10:57 am

Yeah, him and zeise also providing some great dumb guy commentary.

I don't even follow him anymore. What are the cliff notes. Just general crying?

Postby **Morkle** » Wed Nov 08, 2023 11:03 am

Just general crying, city is in the toilet - it's up to the people to do it because the Mayor and new executive won't help, etc.

I still don't know how anyone thought it was a good idea to put Zeise on the radio

I'm sure he thinks Zappala is doing a great job though.

DK opens up shop in Downtown and then becomes a resident there and suddenly becomes both a city cheerleader and political activist. Shocking coincidence.. He never went on these rants before those events happened.
