Pittsburgh Sports Media Thread

"Welcome to Pittsburgh. Here's the douchebags you gotta deal with for the next 2 years..."

One thing stuck out to me here with the way Rossi's hanging over his shoulder on top of the lockers. One would think if he got there first he wouldn't climb like that. So I'm picturing him shoving his way thru the crowd and unathletically getting in the locker stall while Brassard is just thinking "christ, wtf is this?"

Tim Benz there in the yellow hoodie. Looks like some out-of-place high schooler.

This would keep the Pittsburgh media busy for a month.

There's some confusion in the Predators' dressing room. Scott Hartnell and Ryan Hartman are both "Hartsy." When teammates referred to one "Hartsy" this morning, the other instinctually looked up.

Yohe would be all over this

Move over dad. We have two Hartsy's in the room.

I can hear Starkey now. "You go into the locker room and ask to talk with Hartsy, but the other Hartsy shows up. You say no not you Hartsy, I was talking to Hartsy. That's tremendous!"

Errey would have a field day with this too

"Did you hear that, Mearsy?! What are the chances of that? Just incredible!"

Hartnell is still in the **** league?

And he's outscoring Bonino this season. How surprising.

Postby **Silentom** » Tue Feb 27, 2018 3:31 pm

He seemed useless last year. Must be under contract still.

I listened to that Crowley guy for a few minutes. He’s the (worst case) logical progression of Twitter verse tough guy and faux expertise.

Will not do again. He makes Poni seem like Jim McKay.

Tim Benz looks like a 12 year old who won a "sports reporter for a day!" contest.

Also, breaking news on the DK subscription front. Up 30 subscribers since Friday. Probably the first increase all year.

What is Benz, like 5 foot 3?

"Sounds like Mullzy, eh Craiggers? You know, I think I knew a Hartsy in my hometown of Buffalo" *insert that stupid Buffalo song*

Jesus H...two consecutive days I flipped to those stupid asses and immediately heard that song. I left work early yesterday and switched over for, and this is being extremely generous....8 seconds, and they mentioned buffalo and played the song. Today they were playing audio of Starkey interviewing God knows who, the very first question he asked him is about the bills. A minute later they go back live and olay the buffalo song.

This continues to have my head spinning. How often do they do this????

When last I listened, which was months ago, multiple times daily.

Yeah, their show antics should be on the weekend or something and then give one of the weekend guys their slot. Madden's ratings have to be better than Starkey and Mullzy.

Keith Olbermann on PTI this week....he's a total nut, but I do enjoy his work.

Postby **dodint** » Fri Mar 02, 2018 3:17 pm

Yeah, saw that yesterday. I enjoyed fast forwarding through his Lebron segments more than fast forwarding through Wilbons Lebron segments.

Now this is why I still subscribe.

Dude she doesn't need you or Eddie P or the 50 other cowboys that constantly rush to her rescue.

Didn't say I agreed with him.

I’m surprised no one in this thread has mentioned iHeartRadio is $20 BILLION in debt and filing for bankruptcy?

All because of MM’s inflated salary he always brags about.

You know who’s not owned by iHeart?

Pittsburgh’s home town sports station! All sports! All the time! Ninety-three sevennnnnnnnnn... the fan! *ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba...* *Eric Hagman (who I love btw) gives update on sports*
