Per KNS: Heather Harrington DUI

I only do because most nights I fall asleep listening to sports talk. Once I get out of bed, that's it.

 

Heard a brief snippet this AM - a caller began by saying something along the lines of, "Well, I guess you guys are going to follow the KNS lead and ignore what should be a big story around here...."

Jeff (in the most sincerely dreadful, almost guttural, response): "And what exactly is that?"

The guy goes on to talk about The Sporting News article where Dooley was rated as the worst coach in SEC.

But for those few brief seconds after Jeff's response....the tension was palpably filled with anticipatory and abstract dread.

Otherwise, my earlier prediction has held up quite correctly (unless someone heard it and I missed it - and correct me, if so) - it has gone entirely unmentioned, or even alluded to, either by the on-air personalities or the callers of the show.

They seem to be hoping that it similiarly remains off the on-air radar for 10 days or so, where at that time, anyone who mentioned it would be dismissed as bringing up "old news" which didn't warrant a response, much less a discussion.

The ol' wait it out strategy is once again going to prove to be an overwhelming obstacle to the Knoxville sports fan. Watch and see.

 

That guy said something at the end of the call and hung up. Jeff said, sarcastically, that it took real courage to say it. I missed what it was the guy said.

 

The blonde from WBIR will be next.

 

Channel 10 should have its own permanently reserved table at DTG&B.

 

Tables would be more accurate.

 

True, other than Becker, Howell, and Wilhoit, I can't think of any on air personality I don't see there on at least a semi-regular basis.

 

Ah yes, Robin Wilhoit. Loved her.

 

Saw a few there the other night.

 

There must be a pretty strong rotation between there and Tin Roof.

 

Great people. I work with her husband.

 

Phillips?

 

I've seen him there a handful of times. Appears to be a friendly guy.

 

He definitely was the couple of times ive talked to him.

 

You can replace Jeff Jacoby if you can sit and a corner of a room and try to listen to MD without wanting to shoot yourself. You are only required to say tOSU and some baseball story once a day.

 

She and Doc were arguing in favor of abolishing the annual UT-Bama game so we could play Missouri and A&M more frequently, otherwise they might not feel like part of the conference. Seriously.

 

I'm no longer going to bash them for spewing idiocy. I'm turning my ire on the people who listen religiously and keep those tools on the air.

 

For that you can thank the lard ass rednecks that think they are going to get a chance to bump uglies with HH by calling in everyday.

 

Jeff Jacoby seems like he is the voice of 80% of local radio commercials.

 

+10. Excellent post
