Drinky did the leg work of getting the interviews, let his boys take the credit for it.
Credit? You think booking two idiots who had a verbal squabble in the stands deserves CREDIT? How about dishing some considerable SCORN to the alcoholic, to North, B&B and the rest for again taking talk radio into the irrelevant world of he said/she said NON-SPORTS talk? If I want to hear this kind of anatomy of a confrontation crap, I'd tune in Jerry Springer.
I am thinking about all the sports fans who worked all day at the office and they get in the car at 5 pm on Friday thinking about the weekend's NFL championship games, the Big Ten hoops games, the Bulls games and all the rest.... and the first thing they hear is a nutcase athletes wife talking about her squabble in the stands with some rich, connected dweeb. Not. That sound you heard at 5 pm was a bunch of radios being tuned away from the Snore.
In defense of the topic, once a topic like this gets rolling, it seemed as though people just kept calling and wanting to have their opinion heard. If I am a radio host, there is no way I stop the topic if it is generating calls and heated debate on both sides of the issue.
Having said that, I agree that we shouldnt be celebrating bad behavior by fans/players/family of the players, which continuing to talk about this does. Hopefully it does die down, because I know hearing it for the last two days has been enough for me.
As far as congrats to Drinky, whether the move is a popular one or not, he got the people in question on the show and thats his job. If Buchman knew how to do that maybe the North show would once again be listenable.
