They DO die in 3s

Ya know that old crud about
the famous die in threes
just might be right?

For the last few months, OK weeks
we have seen NBC work the death of
their Eat The Press guy like a
Magnolia Ave. Soiled Dove watching
a limo slow down near the bus station.
The resounding question was how long will
it take to lay Timmy to rest? The answer
is who knows, Sunday they were still
"remembering" the guy.

THE LATEST and we are talking MONDAY June 23rd is
NBC got some kid fired for
POSTING on their (other guys not NBC)
web site that Timmy was room temp BEFORE
NBC did! Naturally the National Biscuit Company
said they were "holding" the info until
the family was notified and
naturally they (NBC) are now saying the
person who posted the death of Tim has
been CANNED! Hey there is more,
IF you are lucky enough to have one of
YOUR employees check out at YOUR network
then the other three "honor" said employees
walk to the light by letting HIS or HER network
be the first to release the STORY!
Ya know you just can't make stuff like this up!

OK, bless his heart I am sure he
was a nice man, loved his kid or kids,
wife, dog, college, country, god, life,
and being on TV. That said, NBC needs
to get the memo about how viewers really
do not feel the sun rises and sets on
THEIR news readers or paid political experts.
Hey Timmy even was quoted as saying he tried
every Sunday to get something on his show
that would make a headline in the NYT on
Monday! Again, and please bless his heart,
we don't read that paper and the fact is
most of America no longer reads ANY paper.
That quote was just one more hint of how
the national media wants to be the story
rather than report it. Again, viewers
don't care one way or another. Today
they flat think of the big three as
opinions and agendas platforms rather than
news covering operations. UP side
is Timmy is officially in the ground
and NBC is back to getting Obama elected.


DOWN SIDE is we lose one funny guy
this weekend.

The Hippy Dippy Weather Man
made his last forecast.


If you wanta buy a
yacht load of his stuff
head over here and remember to bring
a C note.

Heck if you wanta buy a ticket to his show
(bet he won't be there) here you go!

talk and remember the guy
dash over here.


GC did the 7 dirty words

that finally the FCC is
cutting back to 5. Problem
is they took the F word up
to a new level by attaching
a big a** (see the list)
fine to it.

He also had a heart
condition most of his life and it looks
like that is what nailed him this weekend.
Seventy one is WAY TOOO YOUNG for anyone to go
toes up! With a gal. of gas costing more than a
six pack and the two we have running for President
now, this country really didn't need to
lose a guy who made us laugh.


Mail is down due to
the boring crap on
Summer TV along with the
dump truck loads of
depressing news on the
three networks.

Well, looks like George Carlin is the latest to go...he was indeed a funny guy.

Ed....They go in threes but
for the life of me I can't remember
the first in this round. Course half the time I can't
remember the dog's names either.

was the OPEN! Playoff today
on ESPN and if TIGER'S leg works
he should wipe the earth with Rock!"

Well, Mister Editer, terrible Tiger had to wipe his own butt, to finish in sudden death. wouldn't it have been fun if Tiger had to put his own putter handle where the sun don't shine. Wouldya have pulled for Rocco if he were from Rockford. Tiger ain't gonna be declared a Saint by da Pope. Smoky Mountain people are common people, not hyped by the written press, the radio talkers, and the bumbling tv talking heads.

Cleatus, Knobly Knob

Ed....Couple of fast thoughts on T.Woods.
First, his announcement that he was not going to play
again this year immediately cost the TV networks
who carry PGA golf 25% of their viewing audience.
Those companies that fight to sponsor Tiger are
openly saying millions of dollars are now flushed
and it could have an impact on their stock prices.

As for his actions in the Open he was at his
best when the fool doing the last interview
tried his best gin up a tearful moment by talking about
it being Fathers Day and then working like a field hand to
get Tiger to moan about his knee and leg. When asked how
his young daughter will remember this hard, trying, up hill,
emotion filled day.. Tiger smiled and said..."She will saw Daddy
got a W!"

Mr. Woods is not just a golfer he is a classy
industry. Today the word class and industry
are seldom seen together.

when they are this SMART!

Can Channel 10 find a weekend
weather woman that will not crack
my TV?

First the giggler who dressed
like she found the back door of
Hammers unlocked at two in the morning
and now another one this morning looked
like Grand Ma Walton had run up
a dress for her while sampling the Sisters recipe.

Both are irritating, both try their
best to dress for either a square
dance or a camp meeting and both
would never have been
hired by the station ten years ago.

WVLT knows how to hire smart, good
looking women, Channel 6 is finally
starting to bring on board
younger and much smarter
women but 10 is backing up?

I still watch 10 because
they get the news before the other two
and unlike the others they get it right,
but next to the guy on 6 WBIR
has the worst weather women on
television.

And NO I am not some guy in a boxer
shorts a wife-beater shirt and rocked back in a recliner!


CLEAN IT UP!


Ed....Well if you were a guy in your shorts and wife-beater
shirt and IF CP and Walker ever got back on the
radio we sure would like to talk to you about
writing our ad libs! Loved the Hammers thing!
PS. I have been to Hammers and they have great
prices but I never did see that goat?


As for the weekend weather women,
I would have to guess that WBIR
is taking what they can get at this
point. Remember, most if not all the
local stations are trying to maintain
a profit margin and when your ad dollars
start to drop often staff has to learn
multiple jobs and weekends budgets
start to come out of the vending machines.
Not sure at all if that is what is going on
at 10 but it might be?
