Yeah but that’s where maybe the guy that’s been doing the job for 20 years or the manager of the station needs to reign him in instead of acting like there’s nothing that could be done or even encouraging him to be that way.

As bad as B&G were, most of the failures of that show fall upon Mitch as it is his job as the PD to step in if the content of the show is not what he wants or what the audience wants. They really needed to have show meetings daily

Maybe Mitch felt that when you fall into a once-in-a-lifetime talent like Jason Goff, you just stand back and let the magic happen, even if the magic is "LEBRON DOESN'T SUCK YOU SUCK MAYBE YOU'RE GAY I LEASE A LUXURY CAR"

I don't think that's really the job of a program director. They are more like GMs in sports. It was his fault there wasn't a producer to work on these things though.

I read an article a few weeks ago where a Tampa site did an interview with Rock, and in it he had some thoughts on Mitch and how he was as a boss.

I have to try and find it.

No, the program director is supposed to take responsibility for stuff like that on talk stations, not producers. Producers are there to tell the host he's doing a great job, book guests, run the board, send interns for coffee, etc. You wouldn't have Nick Shepkowski sit Dan and Jason down to tell them they're losing their way and need to get back to the comedy and weirdness.

Yeah Goff seems pretty receptive to criticism, especially from someone like Shep which is where it would’ve came from in that scenario .

Edit : of course , what CH said .

Well based on that article, unlessRock is just spewing bullshit to be nice to a fairly powerful guy in the radio industry the only conclusion you can draw is that Mitch didn’t give any criticism because he didn’t think they needed any criticism and that he thought the show was great. Which also means that Mitch him self was overruled went deCastro came in and spanked him and put into a corner for not reigning those guys in.

Sounds like no.

I remembered reading it and thought it was interesting to contrast what Mitch was to what he appears to be now.

I'll defer to you on that for obvious reasons.

It just seems like a producer should be the primary driver of what is and isn't working about a show but I guess the personalities may be too big for it.

Yep.

Sounds like he liked the show and couldn't recognize that it had gone south.

Digging through some old files the other day I found a folder with some of the old TB Diddlers commercials and the Bruce Webber answering machine and stuff like that. THAT is what made that show funny and gave them huge ratings. Not entire weeks of entire shows devoted to Penn State.

Put that shit up on YouTube

the goofy shit. like i said when this went down. thats what the masses want. funny drops, hilarious segments. not diatribes. Goff couldnt' realize that. maybe dan didn't either. the moment goff came on all that stuff went away. maybe dan was like finally we can get rid of that crap. and goff did too. or maybe it was just goff.

but the more i think about it you were probably right. this is what dan wanted too. and people stopped listening.

Jen Jen ..The Engine!!

as i've pointed out several times over the years, i went to bourbonnais 09 to do a b&b live remote and see the cutler era kick off and ~2-3 times outta nowhere while watching practice i get tapped on the back of my shoulder and turn around to see jason george goff there staring at me with a "sup?" nod before he walked away. after multiple instances of this i just kind of was "huh?" and ran out to the car to get a freestyle CD for him cuz i figured he might have been a fan from the messageboard or something? i had no idea, but it was definitely odd, weird, and kind of intense. you know, you got this dude all up in your shit multiple times trying to convey some message and you have no idea what the fuck he's on about. plus he had the natural ability to get right behind you within inches without you detecting it, which is a trait i've only observed in one other person who disappeared from the ol party-apartment-above-exedus-II scene after he baited someone to go see DJ spunkshooter with him and proceeded to disappear in a disrobing congo line.

from there goff wanted people to facebook him and comment on his sports stories, so i did it with some grade A wit and intelligentsia and he'd go out of his way to delete all of my comments every time without fail.... tho he didn't block me until i e-mailed him like "what the fuck is up with your creepy ass?" to which he called me a weird dude, started blocking me everywhere (including accounts i've never even efforted the guy on) and then spmack over here decided to pick up pom poms for him via ether and yeah. i reckon most know the rest.... goffralopithicus flipped it to where i was his "stan" / deranged-superfan even tho this dude is just.... idk. i wish him well in his future endeavors but there's just something "off" about this dude.

and i'll always chuckle when i hear the dichotomy of him carrying on about brothers in their white shirts on chicago ave like he's some authority on that... cuz he once dated a girl from oak park =D

seconded. holy shit we need TB diddlers commercials on the youtubes..... if you wanna do it simpler than making a video, you can dump it to a mp3/audio-file and go to http://www.tunestotube.com and upload a picture and the mp3 and it'll make the video for you (provided you let it have access to your youtube-google account.... i've done all of my songs this way and i can vouch for them as being perfectly innocuous-to-trustworthy =)

The show wasn't very good, obviously, way too much non-sports topics, too much name calling to listeners with different views, etc.

But....Was the ratings on this new show any worse OR just the thought that the show itself wasn't very good?

Just because Goff may feel that Bernstein did him wrong doesn't mean that it actually happened.

It doesn't mean it. But I think Goff is correct.

Being fired stings no matter what. But this hurts Goff more for two reasons.

1. Bernstein back stabbed him.

2. Da Ma Na got hired to replace him. Da Ma Na was Goff's long time enemy. At one point Goff thought he had defeated Mac. But Mac came back to officially claim victory. That sucks for Goff.
