Pittsburgh Sports Media Thread

Hahaha. I saw that, but hesitated to post it due to Madden's mug.

I just remembered this from earlier in the season. It's peak Pittsburgh Dad Jr..

Just got done grocery shopping.
I love Pittsburgh so much. Virtually everyone had a Steelers jersey on. Polamalu seems to reign supreme still.
Also, people seem so damn nervous and tense about the squad.

It was 10am on a Sunday in October lol. I mentioned that to him and he swore he's been in other cities on game days and it's nothing like that. Nothin' compares tuh dis tahn!

I feel like I remember some low-level dude complaining about how Pittsburgh Dad Jr. bullied his way into a job at the fan.

I can totally see that..

I remember Pittsburgh Dad Jr. was the WVU guy at the PG. Did he do anything else? And didn’t he start on the Fan during late nights?

Oh my goodness, Twitter has been good these past few days.

is this the selfie you keep going on about? Where's the original AND WHY DOES A SELFIE MEAN ANYTHING

Postby **NailedPenguin** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 2:24 pm

It doesn't mean anything. Other than Pittsburgh Dad Jr. posted it during their last spat with some BS like, We may disagree on some things, but we'll still take a picture together. Then when right back to subtweeting him and apparently Liking I mean, not endorsing, tweets calling Madden a racist and other shizz.

Man, the selfie was after their first spat, Pittsburgh Dad Jr. ran to him to get a selfie to show they were friends.

The Fan commercials make me feel dirty:

- the one with the girl pretending to be the active ingredient in Viagara. Asking about your game and standing up to cheer

- Poni doing a live ad read for forhims.com talking about man boobs and sex drive.

- The hungry kids in America commercial. I heard this last Saturday morning. Played three times in a row. Slightly different content each commercial. Wtf.

Ugh

Question for all Pittsburgh sports radio listeners:

Do any of you enjoy anything you listen to?

Day 343434 of the Pittsburgh Dad Jr./Madden twitter feed. Pittsburgh Dad Jr. liked something that inferred Madden was racist, and people are calling him out for it. He's doubling down saying alike isn't an endorsement. He knew what he was getting at, and he's good at being the worst kind of person on social media.

Stop being a baby, stop being passive aggressive and sub-tweeting, be a tough guy and call him out. I want to see the escalation.

Lol he so fake.

The latest, from MM's Facebook. So good

This just in: Pgh Dad Jr (@colin_Pittsburgh Dad Jr.) was out in the hallway during his show this morning berating one of the show's advertisers. Not sure why, but I'll find out. Because everyone who works with him hates him & can't wait to rat him out. He's undefeated in the street. Maybe not in the hallway.

What if you worked in an office, & your co-workers detested you to the point where every time you did something ***tty, they reported that incident to somebody that would stick it up your **s? And none of them defend you in a public forum, either. What a lonely, unhappy existence.

If said advertiser was schultzford.com good on Pittsburgh Dad Jr.

No takers for this, eh?

I listen to Stan and enjoy that

Postby **Morkle** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 8:45 pm

I still enjoy Madden.

Postby **dodint** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 8:52 pm

I've been listening to nothing but podcats for the last two months. The other day my podcast ended and I had about 5 minutes left before getting home so I flipped on the radio; it was 6:17pm. 102.5/105.9/96.1 all balls deep in commercials. My only other preset is NPR; doing a story on Rwanda or something. Hit 'scan' and it went the entire way around the dial and other than the classical music station it didn't find any music at all. I drove the rest of the way home with the radio off. It was nice.

Not sports media specific (other than Madden on 105.9) but commercial radio is awful and I don't know how people do it anymore.

If he wasn’t in Florida for spring training I would put money on Colony being Madden’s mole.

Thank you Kenneth. This concludes my survey. We have three listeners who "enjoy" a show, and a meh. And 239 pages

This. I also enjoy Madden a lot outside of the schtick. Starkey was good IMO before he started becoming a caricature of a radio personality.

I'd say it's pretty slim pickings, but not completely bare.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Sat Mar 02, 2019 9:30 am

I like Madden, Mack, Tab, Josh Taylor is pretty good, share genos’ sentiments on Starkey, and though I’m sure I’m alone on this, if you can get through the non-descript grunts, other random sounds, and occasional silence, there can sometimes be good sports talk from Zeise.

Postby **RonnieFranchise** » Sat Mar 02, 2019 2:42 pm

Madden has some good hockey interviews but I wont listen to the idiotic schtick. So like 5% of Madden content.

I have to happen upon it by accident because I am normally listening to SiriusXM NHL Radio.

Postby **NailedPenguin** » Sat Mar 02, 2019 4:53 pm

I kinda like Zeise.

"I uhhhh... kindaaaaa.... uhhh... like Zeise *breathes into microphone*"

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Sat Mar 02, 2019 5:03 pm

I kinda like Zeise.

I do too. He's a good guy in real life as well.
