It's really funny listening to today if you listened to the Greg Cote show. Chris talked a lot about having to "go get something on his own". Of course immediately after Dan probably surprised him with the offer. So just funny.
Well he should. He just took on a 24/7 365 day job. Allyson would constantly be telling stories of how dan would call her at 2 am asking for her to find some random obscure thing that he needed by the next morning. It's not going to be an easy job for Chris, but it keeps him employed.
All of this Chris Cote stuff reminded me of a random Lebatard story that I cant remember if it's from his time on the National Show or when he was local. As most of you know, he started out doing local radio on a station started by Stu Gotz. After Stu Gotz sold it, the new person running it had a really bad gambling addiction. He started his own ponzi scheme where he would steal from the station to support his gambling habit. It was so bad that he was driving the station into the ground and they couldn't afford christmas bonuses. Dan wrote the guy a big check and said pay everyone their bonuses but don't say it came from me not knowing the guy was stealing every penny he could find. Found out years later that the guy stole almost all of it and only gave out 1/10 of the money. Its a story with an unhappy ending, but still shows that Dan has always been willing to sacrifice for those around him.
To be fair, they did Greg dirty yesterday. I get keeping up a bit, but when your son was put directly in the crosshairs by ESPN, don’t make Greg out to be a selfish ass for once.
Will Cain is a garbage broadcaster and I always felt that if LeBatard stopped being a thing, Stugotz would make that type of career move.
He's basically Greg Guttfield, who was a LOT different when he was the host of red eye... before Fox News got a lot worse
he went on fox news and said that state legislatures should appoint electors who would keep trump in office.
Lebetard always made me laugh when he said that Will Cain lives under a table at ESPN and he comes up whenever anybody said Colin Kaepernick...
I hope they land somewhere where they're on TV as well. If they're not I won't be a listener unfortunately.
So basically every single ESPN personality that Dan helped boost will be on HQ. Might as well have the Marty Party on there too.
Did they talk about it on today’s show? I am behind this week so I listened to yesterday’s show today
They probably make sense financially, but they clearly don't care about cultivating loyal fanbases as they know they average consumer is a dumbass that will watch no matter how shitty the discussion.
Nobody is worse than gene. AKERS WITH THE BALL, MAKES A MAN MISS, OH MY WHAT A MOVE, FINALLY DRAGGED DOWN. 2nd and 7 Seminoles.
