Pittsburgh Sports Media Thread

[Pavel Bure]

Get in car, Madden on, proceeds to spoil end game before I even buckle my seatbelt. For a guy that doesn’t care about superhero movies he sure talks about them a lot.

**** you

He spoiled a TV show premier out of nowhere one day. Like, I couldn't reach the radio dial fast enough to turn it off because he came out of the commercial break and front loaded the spoiler in his first sentence. That's when I went back to podcasts, haven't listened since.

Yeah there was no spoilers warning or anything just launched right into how it ended

Chris Bradford out at DK. Got an email over the weekend that they had year specials for 75% off. Are we near the end of the DK experience?

[DigitalGypsy66]

Also, Bradford apologized for all of the convenience store tweets (i.e. GetGo is a big sponsor for DKSports). "I don't really eat there. No one does."

Did he get canned? Or did he move on himself?

Honestly, DK probably should just go back to streamlined coverage/team. I don't mind some of the coverage.

What I hate though is the arrogance once they dig into an opinion. But that is pretty much everywhere.

Thought a saw Pittsburgh dad junior getting out a new Porsche Cayenne at Lowe’s on Saturday. Could have been another balding man with a gnarly beard though

I thought somebody on here said Pittsburgh Dad Jr. drove an older Explorer.

Pretty sure canned.

Taylor Haase & Matt Sunday are the future of DKPS hockey coverage, I guess...

[Morkle]

No idea, seeing as he seems somewhat negative about things, I would say let go.

[Morkle]

How old is Taylor Haase, and how much is she being paid to stick around? I feel like she's pretty young, but could do more elsewhere.

[MR25]

I want to say she's 24, but it's been a while since I've seen her Tinder profile

[NAN]

Maybe I'm old school, but I don't understand the running to social media to bash previous employers. Bash away privately, but to me, some of this stuff can come back to haunt you.

[iamjs]

I won't post anything about my employer, positive or negative.

[dodint]

My boss is Trump, so....

Just googled her and she's 12.

[DigitalGypsy66]

Haase has an excellent handle on the prospects/minor league Pens players.

Plus, I enjoy Perotto's baseball coverage...even if the Pirates are pretty unspectacular.

I kind of enjoy Perotto swallowing his pride and joining DK. He was one of the guys practically celebrating on Twitter when all that drama was happening last year.

He had a stint with DK a few years ago. Didn’t make it through training camp. I guess there was a falling out because Perotto had a tweet from a year or two ago bashing DK. Not sure if it’s still up.

I thought it was a bit odd that Bradford wasn’t part of the away coverage during the Islanders series. Then in one of the site articles over the weekend DK commented about the team approach they had to covering the Pens...then mentions his, Sunday’s, and Haase’s individual contribution but no mention of Bradford. That would suck to be Bradford and read that and feel like nothing and you wasted your time. Maybe DK got smart and made the employees sign a NDA.

[Morkle]

DK for saying he's not in charge, still seems like he's in charge and still sucks at it.

I eat there.

Same. It's better than Sheetz

[dodint]

First entry in 'worst take of the day' filed right there.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Don't fault me because you have trash taste buds.

[NailedPenguin]

Sheetz sucz. GetGo is way better if we're gonna talk gas station food.

[dodint]

GetGo, at least the one on Rt. 8 in Shaler is just an incomplete product. They must be new and have no idea what they're doing yet because the food product they produce is barely recognizable as food. Sheetz at least provides something that's representative of the product.

Kwik Trip beats them both though in terms of quality of product. But it's more of a midwest thing.

[willeyeam]

GetGo is objectively better than sheetz
