Cat making an announcement during WTDS? Is he coming out as Line 4 Guy?

3PM:"Hello P1s. I just wanted to announce that there will be a Wade Phillips press conference in about 10 minutes."

 

[Joe T]

Anyone in for an impromptu cornhole at the loon today?

 

[Urinal Mint]

My liver, nor my wallet, can't handle an evening in that place anymore. I've left those days behind.

So now we've established that you are older than 26.

Is Cat on Cowboy time??

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Talk to me, Goose.

 

[Print Is Dead]

Talk to me, Goose.

Nothing yet.

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Talk to me, Goose.

Nothing yet.

I'm scared.

 

[texasyankee]

Rhyner just joked that the 5:15 announcement is that Donald Fagan is 60 today

Seems like they are about go to Wade

 

[Urinal Mint]

What a f-ing waste. Again. This station is going down the sh-tter in a hurry.

 

[Print Is Dead]

Talk to me, Goose.

Nothing yet.

I'm scared.

They're breaking. Who said Cat was going to announce anything?Btw, they're saying that their big announcement at 5:15 is that its Donald Fagen's birthday.

 

[texasyankee]

Talk to me, Goose.

Funny tangentBack in college people used to tell me that I looked like Anthony Edwards - of course it was more Gilbert than goose

They cut out of WTDS really early and already made reference to a 5:15 announcement at least. Plus the homepage is different, so there is that.

The Hardline - 3pm to 7pm

Mike Rhyner & Corby Davidson

Thousands of devotees know exactly what they're going to get when the HardLine, Mike Rhyner hits the airwaves during the weekday afternoon hours of 3pm - 7pm on the Ticket, the "four" most controversial, must-hear hours of radio to be found anywhere on the AM or FM dials in Dallas-Ft. Worth.

From day one, the HardLine has been the Ticket's most-listened to program as Rhyner puts forth radical opinions in their dry, cynical way. No one is above challenge--no coach, player, caller, not even each other. And along the way, they manage a lot of laughs and fun. Dallas Ft. Worth's acknowledged curators of the great game of baseball, their depth of knowledge and background on all sports will both amaze and amuse.

Often copied but never equaled, there can be no doubt as to whom the leaders and innovators in afternoon drive sports talk are … that would be the HardLine, bruthuh!!

You can email those Hardliners at home!

Interesting. The "bruthuh" line is a Greggo reference. Parting shot?

Did they radically change the wording here? Or did they just remove any references to Greggo? The "their" in the bolded sentence seems to suggest the latter.

Good point. Either that or they need a new copy writer.

I laugh at that drop every time.

They just powerteased whatever's coming up at 5:10. It had better be good

 

[Statcruncher]

I'm guessing in an antiseptic fashion they will say Greggy is gone and contractually they can't play his drops or refer to him. Let's focus on the future now.

You are most likely correct.

 

[Statcruncher]

The Hammer has resigned. Rhynes will continue from 3-7 with "Cobby" as the co-host. Nothing else mentioned. Mike read a company statement verbatim. What a limp joke of an announcement.

 

[Print Is Dead]

Blah. Greggo resigned. Everyone already knew that.

 

[Print Is Dead]

Mike doing what sounds like a Greggo eulogy now.

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

ive been in san antonio for the last 4 years but was a P1 prior to that..

so what led up to this or what am i missing thats not in this thread?

 

[Print Is Dead]

They have confirmed that if they hire a new co-host, his nickname can not be a type of tool. Anyone nicknamed "The Wrench" or "The Screwdriver" need not apply.

The quick, version. If I mess up someone help out. Greggo walked out in the middle of shift. Mike/Cobra covered it as a family emergency for a a couple of weeks, but really he went into rehab. Rumor had it that when Greggo attempted to return, he and the Hardline current had an pretty good argument and the relationship was ended at that point. While they were working out the legal details of whether Greggo was fired or quit, Mike and Cobra said a lot of nothing about the situation.

Pretty much spot on. Meanwhile the P1s have been bombarding every member of the Ticket with "Where's Greggo" emails, calls, etc.

 

[Bogart]

Overall I was disappointed with the "big announcement", but I guess it is the right thing to do. The statement was lame as they tried to take the one sentence "resignation" and turn it into a Ticket commercial, but I guess it's what you have to do to move on.

I guess the idea will be to move on as is for all other shows. Lean on the comfortable schedule as is, and then figure out what the Hardline will be. I'm guessing that the "new guy" will not be anyone we already know (Ben, Skin, K-Scott). That will just fill like just a cheap fix. Also I would bet that the new guy will be nothing like the Hammer, maybe someone very sporty-sport. The chemistry between Mike, Cobra and Deep Dish will be hard to crack. It will be a very Sammy Hagar/Metallica Bass Player type situation.

The controversy overall is that a station that seldoms hides anything, got caught in a situation where it was trying to hide because of legal ramifications. The first time Hammer went into rehab it was largely hidden by the normal two week X-mas vacation and very detailed public discussion. they could not do that this time and honestly even if he could make it to the x-mas vacation I doubt that the a 2nd rehab confession for coke would have went over as well as a painkiller admission. The station always does some version of "announcement" of the Ticketstock big name, but probably should have handled the Greggo situation first instead of stringing everyone along because there was news we wanted to hear.

I've thought a little bit that perhaps they should have hidden the painkiller admission from 2005? I mean there weren't nearly the clues that there were with the coke thing. I think they'd have much less backlash if they had hidden that all this time. Other than that admission what else really has been brought out from behind the curtain? I mean Gordo hides the fact that he has two kids so well despite being the highest profile guy at the ticket. The thought that they are so "open" is really a myth perpetuated by the oxycontin admission way back. I do think the Observer can't help itself, but finally writing a 5000 word manifesto on this at some later date when Greggo either pulls himeslf out of this hole or otherwise goes even furthur off the deep end with no recourse but a tell-all. It may be one sided, but once the legal stuff closes down I wouldn't be suprised to at least get his side of it.

True, but hindsight's 20-20. They had no idea Greg would relapse or, much less, graduate to the white lady. I think, at the time, Greggo's admission was seen as very brave and was probably liberating for him. Had they known then what they know now, it might have stayed behind the curtain.
