For some reason people think Greggo has taken the high road and accepted the blame for the downfall of RAGE...Greggo may not have thrown all the blame on Richie....but he sure as hell didnt accept responsibility. Nor did he decide to "not name names" and be "professional" about it. He did his fair share of crucifying others! I laugh as I scroll down and constantly read all the "tough guys"...excuse me...all the "anonymous tough guys" that think Richie sucks SOOO bad that they waste their time using their big strong fingers to pound "douche bag" and any other names in their keyboard, to make them sit back in their chair and tell themselves," I'm such a badass. Not only is Richie scared....but now he realizes he sucks. After being successful in a big market, for over 20 yrs...and even pulling in a 6-figure salary for some of that time, he finally realizes that it was all by accident. Now he will step down and start a new career, realizing that nobody reads his blogs. After I spend 2 more hours flexing my muscles through a computer screen and calling him a few more names...I will never post again!......unless the blog that I "don't read" pisses me off tomorrow. But then.....yes, then it will be the last time I read his blog!" I mean why even try to type anymore stories, Richie....didn't you read the comment? In 2 months your blog won't even exist anymore. It's obvious by all the comments you constantly get, nobody reads them. It's time for a new career. The only reason ANYONE (including the Ticket host) read this is because it was about the ticket...and the ONLY reason anyone reads your Cowboys blog is because its about the Cowboys...nobody cares about your blogs....the ONLY reason anyone reads your blogs about the Rangers is because its about the Rangers...don't you see, your blogs are terrible...don't write about the Mavericks!!...because the ONLY reason anyone will read that is because its about the Mavs! I'm sorry, Richie...but I guess they're right...in 2 months you'll probably be jobless, living in the alley behind your new restaurant that will SURELY fail. If only you were a little better at your job........<br /> <br /><br /><br />C.

It almost seemed beneath them to take so much pleasure in badmouthing the competition. Gordon said it was because of all the people who thought the idea of The Ticket would never work.<br /><br />In some ways it's like Jordan being bitter at his HOF speech...you wanted to someone to explain to him 'HE WON!!!!' he proved everyone wrong years ago.<br /><br />It's almost like the dorky kid who was ignored in HS...then grew up to be the doctor with the hot wife, successful practice, midas touch in everything...but can't help rub it in everyone's face that he's doing better.<br /><br />In this case Whitt reported info that an audience was thirsty to hear. The irony that guys who report on (sports) contract negotiations as part of their job, feel that this is somehow a sacred cow is laughable.<br /><br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6769468336490808451.post-13710277048766239992013-06-26T15:03:06.470-05:002013-06-26T15:03:06.470-05:00A person doesn't have to be intimate with some...A person doesn't have to be intimate with someone for their death to impact them :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6769468336490808451.post-21506543032572826722013-06-26T12:47:44.734-05:002013-06-26T12:47:44.734-05:00the death of Chris Kyle impacted Greggo the way th...the death of Chris Kyle impacted Greggo the way the death of a TV character would. they barely knew each other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6769468336490808451.post-22758981873446702062013-06-26T11:47:04.331-05:002013-06-26T11:47:04.331-05:00Richie Witt...Ticket ombudsman.Richie Witt...Ticket ombudsman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6769468336490808451.post-24012045164214085102013-06-26T11:37:08.842-05:002013-06-26T11:37:08.842-05:00Minus your "scoop" was wrong.

You say you have thick skin but I can tell it eats at you that you failed, and failed hard at radio. You probably would of had another shot at it, but after spilling all this on your blog I doubt it. But hey man, props to you... I still come here to read all your bullshit non sense. Maybe you can switch things up a bit.

If you can't see how your writing comes across from time to time as petty and juvenile shorts at the Ticket (and their listeners) then you are either being disingenuous or you are fooling yourself.

Would you have run Hard Lie 2 if you already had the Bob and Dan news at the time? From a self preservation point of view, had Bad Radio left, a weekend show opportunity might have been available at the Ticket.

All 4 of you had a uniqueness that meshed well together.<br /><br />My wife doesn't listen to talk radio, but when she got home daily & heard RAGE (Sybil) on the house radio she enjoyed it. One Monday she comes home to tunes & asked if my RAGE was on vacation, but I didn't know the answer.
