Bump. GIVE US RUMOR!!!!!!!

Postby **slappybrown** » Fri Jan 19, 2018 11:25 am

DK is now offering two foam lunatic blocks for lunatic level subscriptions. I know you ate your last one, NAN because "blue" is your favorite food (???), so this is an opportunity for you to replace that one and get a free meal when you inevitably eat the other.

Wow. Two whole foam blocks as a subscription incentive? Sounds like he overestimated his future subscribers and is now stuck with extra inventory.

I am reading through some of Greg Brown's tweets after that (including several retweets of people both agreeing and disagreeing with him). It's tough because Greg Brown seems like a genuinely good man and I really like him, but the proof is in the pudding with what Nutting did (or didn't do) with that Wild Card team.

I know my boss and he is the best. He wants to win more than anything no matter how crummy the things he does are. Hope you are reading this boss, luv u!

I think Brown is the 2nd best pbp guy in town after Lange, he seems genuinely nice and what’s he gonna say I suppose but... yowsers.

Wasn't Brown the guy that flipped out on the fan last year after they made fun of the new boring bald guy?

How does the old saying go? It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt?

That was a great day. Walk relentlessly laid into them. Dude was pissed like I always knew he could get.

What's the rumor? I want to know!

As for Greg Brown, yeah, I like him as a play by play guy, but man is he on the Pirates koolaid.

It's not even a matter of sipping the Pirates koolaid. By the sound of his thoughts on Nutting, he is slamming it by the gallon.

It was the day of the 2016 Cup parade. I can tell you exactly where I was when Walk's rant started (Crane Avenue, getting ready to make a left onto Banksville Rd.)

I'm guessing that segment is not available in the archives.

WTF are these foam blocks? Are they just foam blocks or they get you perks somewhere?

Am I reading too much into this?

They make good meals.

so you get a foam brick for signing up? That's it?

No. You get two of them.

Postby **columbia** » Fri Jan 19, 2018 3:35 pm

That sounds better than a free Coke at a Pitt game.

My Dad has a Bad Call Brick, it's way cooler.

You also get to call up when he fills in for Madden, tell him you're a subscriber and he rings a bell.

LMAO Gianotti thanks Starkey and Mullsy for having him on “for the four minute segment The Fan allows between commercials.”

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Fri Jan 19, 2018 5:48 pm

I heard that and laughed.

Postby **slappybrown** » Fri Jan 19, 2018 6:25 pm

Pretty good line

Giannotti was top notch

He’s a bit underwater in his new gig. Boomer is actually better at doing radio, which is a bad sign.

I don’t think that he’ll last.
