Goff can correct the record but I do not recall him hitting that kind of dip professionally.

He got drunk and wanted to beat up Rick. You’re probably weird if this hasn’t happened to you.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Did anyone in your group spill a drink on the bar floor and then try to drink it with a straw? For the record, it wasn't me that did that.

Is this Goff's first serious bout with professional adversity? He may have been lulled into thinking a media career is a straight slope upward. His advancement has been pretty impressive given his original qualifications. For a college dropout he found employment at his favorite childhood radio station, progressed from producer to executive producer and was able to dabble as a Bulls reporter and fill-in host. His stint in Atlanta appeared to be a minor league grooming stint to prepare him as Terry's replacement. The long-snapper's abrupt resignation conveniently brought him back earlier than expected.

I recall Grimace recounting a story of him working as one of those corner sign holders for a furniture store in LA when Sporting News Radio folded. And, of course, you had Mac selling cars while he was benched. Goff can correct the record but I do not recall him hitting that kind of dip professionally.

Goff was groomed by Boers and Bernstein who had been sheltered and catered to by a bumbling PD. Seems like Goff only paid attention to the "eff you" mentality Bernstein publicly personified and was rewarded time and time again for. But Goff forgot to pay attention to Bernstein's sniveling ass licking behind the scenes to ensure his survival at all costs.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

Jason is mad that a Loyola crowd booed Hannibal Burress off stage over the weekend: https://uproxx.com/viral/hannibal-bures ... c-priests/

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Did you even read that article? He wasn't booed off stage.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

Honestly just skimmed it, and read the social media comments. So, yes, you are right he's learned nothing and doesn't see the irony.

Not saying that Goff isn't responsible for his dismissal but how do you expect him to react? He has a young child that may have medical issues and once this contract runs out (in 18 months or less) it is unlikely that he will ever be able to make this type of money in radio ever again. What other experience does he have? How differently would some of you all react? I've seen folks react far worse in the past couple of days because Rick disagreed with them.

Spiegel was screwed IMO but he just signed a new deal that is probably good for 3 years. That gives him a little bit of security. That likely changes the way he would react.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

But one of my guys tells me that there were more than one or two requests made to B&G over the last three months to change the tone of the show, and those requests were repeatedly rebuffed. I don't believe that either one ever thought that they would be moved out of that slot.

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

This might a big scoop you have here. I've asked why Mitch wouldn't do anything to save Jason's ass, considering his ascension from producer to afternoons was Mitch's project. Maybe he tried and failed. Wow.

Spiegel was screwed so to speak.

Sounds like Mitch was loyal to a fault, permissive to a fault. I suddenly feel compelled to thank Rod Zimmerman, but he's not here.

So if I'm reading this right, the thinking is that Mitch went to B&G begging them to change their approach, knowing the sword of Damocles was hanging by a single XLR cable above the studio, but was told by both to piss off, and subsequently DeCastro came in and made the changes?

I would have thought DeCastro would be the one giving B&G a chance to change their approach before shutting them down.

I don't know, Seacrest didn't specify whether Mitch or DeCastro requested that Dan and Jason recalibrate their show. The Deacon's been here since November, but maybe he was keeping programming decisions to himself. I have to believe Mitch knew there were problems with the show and that he had to play good cop before the bad cop came in. I also believe that Dan and Jason -- especially Jason -- didn't take Mitch seriously and didn't want to change the way they were doing the show.

Nobody gives a fuck about tone, it's the ratings that matter....

From a journalistic integrity perspective, I could understand how folks like B&G wouldn't take kindly to being told what to avoid talking about on air. But I have to wonder, is it worth doing the show you want at the expense of ratings instead of doing the show the collective audience wants to be a more popular program? And at the end of the day, these aren't columnists for the NY Times or an NPR All Things Considered reporter.

He was NOT keeping decisions to himself. AND IT WILL REMAIN THAT WAY

The more this plays out the more I’m coming around to the thinking they should’ve just launched both those assholes and been done with it. Pieces of fucking garbage .

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

Seems odd that Goff is still an employee is he did not do what his program manager asked on show content. Sounds like he should be fired with cause. They seem afraid to launch Bernstein because he was a ratings success for such a longtime, but he might have burned his bridges to such a point that he won't be able to rebound even if he's "sticking to sports". Penn State claims another victim.
