The problem was the pounding it down. Jack Daniels, that is. Go on the air nearly incoherent and people will notice. "Well, ummm......... yeah." Dear Bob

The problem wasn’t the mailing it it. The problem was the pounding it down. Jack Daniels, that is. Go on the air nearly incoherent and people will notice.

“Well, ummm……… yeah.”

He indicated that contract talks were continuing and that he was hopeful of a resolution but wanted to say goodbye in case things fell through. He thanked everyone (Bret, Andy, the two Petes, etc.) and remarked on the continuing strength of his ratings. Pete Sheppard will apparently be finishing out the year. Ordway sounded upbeat but there was a feeling of finality about the whole thing. Frankly I'm surprised that neither Bruce nor David Scott has a post up here about it.

Message boards and blogs with comments represent the kind of mirrors that media hacks love; they just can't stay away from things that talk about THEM. So while Bob may have a 'rule' against reading unsolicited e-mails, you can skewer him here and in countless other places. And rest assured, Bob would see them. It's one of the big reasons why old-school media hacks hate the 'new' media. The beauty of the Internet is that media hacks can see how people view them simply coming to a site like this one.

I only caught the tail end of it but it sounded like he was leaving for more than just a vacation and there were references to the Pete Sheppard show airing tomorrow? Does this have something to do with Ordway's current contract status at EEI? Sorry to get off subject, but did anyone hear Ordway’s last call on today’s Big Show?

After reading that email from Lobel I cant help but admire the way John or Jerry would never stoop low enough to answer in an honest way a stupid email from someone. It's better to read the emails in a whiny baby voice and say BLAH BLAH BLAH. Heck, Jerry's too smart he doesn't even put his email at the end of his columns and Denis usually just hangs up or shouts over stupid callers that critisize him. Lobel should learn to press DELEET!

Enjoy the sarcasm - even during the stressful holiday period. Actually to me that’s pretty funny. Enjoy the sarcasm – even during the stressful holiday period.
