Said flag is the very reason I do not possess any Lynyrd Skynyrd memorabilia. Love the tunage... but refuse to wear a T-shirt or buy a coffee mug with that evil symbol affixed.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

Didn't even take a page for JLN and LTG to shit up Mac's thread. That's some historic shit posting efficiency.

1. There has been no "stick to sports" edict as it's being portrayed. The marching orders, as explained to me anyway, are "have fun...do the kind of show you always have done." That always has included non-sports topics from the toy department.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

2. I have been fired from sports radio jobs once. In January of 2009, ESPN fired me. We were amidst a recession and my salary was approaching two commas. With advertisers bailing amidst a bad economy, they opted for a less expensive lead bartender for the Afternoon Saloon. My exits from the Score in 2000 and in 2014 were my choice.

3. I never have blocked anybody on Twitter. A member of the board blocked me Friday. Apparently, not replying to his DM about shoulder surgery quickly enough, coupled with calling Danny by his nickname "Parko" offended his sensibilities. With skin so thin, he should get a sports radio job!

There is a way to delve into a bit of politics and a way not to do so. Your new partner knows how to do it where he can state his opinion, say why he has it, and then move on to something else. He's a pro, what else can you say about him?

The newly demoted midday host had no clue how to do this. If there was a social issue he wanted to talk about, it would dominate nearly a week on his show and drive people up the dial.

Thanks for the facts on "stick to sports", although the Goff fanboys on Facebook are going to lose their minds over you saying that.

Rollo is right.

Also, if we can agree that DeCastro would be in hot water if it got out he told the new hosts explicitly to "stick to sports" (or some variation thereof), he can still task them with putting on a show while sticking to sports, without saying so outright. If, say, he knows Mac likes to have fun and stay away from harping on political/societal/rapey issues, a directive to "do your kind of show" carries almost the exact same intent and weight as a "stick to sports" edict would, right?

Why would he be in hot water telling his employees of a sports talk station to "stick to sports"?

Old, white management telling a freshly-hired old, white, talent to "stick to sports" after firing a younger, black talent who proudly didn't "stick to sports" would get DeCastro, WSCR and Entercom absolutely torched by a large segment of media.

I think Nas bought one in Branson.

"Stick to sports" is a loaded phrase associated with MAGA and white supremacy (p.s., if you think it was an accident that Dan referred to Hawks fans as "hockey supremacists," you really just fell off the turnip truck). You don't tell people to stick to sports unless you're ready for everything that implies about you.

What the hell, I would. Post op is OK right? Right?!?!?!

I thought Nas was the board's administrator, spmack. If you have evidence I'm a bigot, do share.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

The stars and bars is harmless.

It sucks that it is taboo because it really is a nice looking flag, as far as flags go.
