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?

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.

thanks guys.. rehab for alcohol or something else? is Danny still on there?

Coke. No, really.

Yep, Coke. And Danny is still there.

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.

But it certainly set a precedent and set of expectations that would carry on to the mayhem that we got now. They had to understand what that could lead to down the road. The only other thing I can think of that was even in the remote realm of that was the Carter thing, and that was mostly tangential to the show.

Also great today to get the backstory on the snow monkeys.

Fake Greggo introducing him was also unexpected.

What is the back story on the snow monkeys?

 

[culdeus]

What is the back story on the snow monkeys?

Something to do with the area where he has his ranch was overrun with snow monkeys. Jub asked him about it in a phone interview and the thing turned into a 20 minute manifesto on how snow monkeys were the bane of his existence and how he planned on eradicating them from the face of the earth. He was instrumental in getting an open season on them in Texas.

I was actually going to post in the FFA a nice thread titled "Taking another shot at the goalie". My New Year's present to my wife was throwing the condoms away.

The Hardline Plus One.

Interesting concept if they can get decent people in. Mixes things up enough and gives Cobra and Danny a bit of break from having to dominate the air.

"Do you hate Rick Renner?"Valid question.

Random Thought: Would a female presence on The Hardline be a viable replacement for Greggo?. Emily Jones makes me happy every time she is on Ben & Skin, and she really knows her sports. Surely there is another girl like her that would love to work 3 to 7 Mon-Fri.

She's not horrible.A little over the top for my taste, but I wouldn't be upset if they gave her a shot.

 

[Statcruncher]

I have a feeling it would be OK for the honeymoon period but then would slowly start the quickening slide into a pure beating. She's listenable now because a female is unique on the Ticket. After listening to her daily on Ben & Skin it appears she really doesn't have much and pretty much just tosses out random softballs hoping the guys crushing them over the fence is entertaining. Did you guys hear her hunting story? Terrrrrible. P1's deserve more than that.

I was never a huge Greggo fan as I've only been a P1 for about 4 years but that video is gold. I forgot how many great drops he had. I'm glad to see him gone but I'll miss the drops.

Yeah, the last 4 years or so, have not been solid from Greggo, so understandable if you weren't a big fan. Hell, I haven't been super fond of him the last few myself. But the first 5-7 years of the station, the guy was hands down the Ticket MVP. The guy bled Ticket colors more than any other talent up there. He was the easiest to approach and talk to (I have had Big George give me the Heisman and Sturm give me fail smile, but never Grego). And I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that he didn't have much more to go back to if the Ticket didn't work out. Bartending and pulling tape for WBAP.

Somewhere out there, someone has a kid who was born at 6:34 of the fourth quarter of the Mavs-Heat Game 3 on June 13, 2006, and they are seriously considering an exorcism of some sort.June 20, 2006 - Mavs lose their fourth straight to the Heat to lose the NBA title after being up 2-0 and up 13 in the fourth quarter of Game 3.October 1, 2006 - Rangers finish 80-82.January 6, 2007 - Cowboys lose in the NFL Playoffs at Seattle after The Bobble.April 23, 2007 - Stars fall to the Canucks 4-1 in Game 7 of the first round on the Stanley Cup Playoffs after being down 3-1 and winning the next two games to force Game 7. At least they won three games, I guess.May 3, 2007 - Mavericks lose Game 6 to the Warriors, losing the opening round series 4-2 after having the best regular season record in the NBA.July 7, 2007 - Desperadoes lose in the first round of the AFL playoffs after having the best regular season record in the AFL.Sept. 30, 2007 - Rangers finish 75-87.January 13, 2008 - Cowboys lose first playoff game to the Giants after having the best regular season record in the NFC.

I sort of tried hard to overhear Corby talking about the situation yesterday. He didn't say much new, but that it was a very long time coming and it was inevitable even without the abrupt departure. Said it would take days to run down the stuff "he pulled" over the last year.

It will be funny to hear his indy/sd commentary as he basically had split a bottle of crown with his wife over the course of the game while monitoring it every 5 minutes or so.

I would imagine that the split was not 50/50Heck I wonder how much of the Cowboy game he remembers
