heard the segment a little while ago.

It kind of sounded like they were just asking to get fired.

either that or they are incredibly stupid.

Yeah...just heard it.

I expected to hear their laughing during "the jokes" and you realize while you're not laughing...they are actually not laughing and slowly realizing this is really really in horrible taste.

It's almost like they were surprised how mean and unfunny it was - and tried to force levity at the end.

Complete horseshite! The whole incident was gaining momentum with or without anything that went on this board. Wow, LMAO if you guys think you had anything to do with it.

Station was going down the tubes especially w/out any FM signal and 92.9 that just started and mgt wasn't going to renew any of their contracts this yr anyway. Go ahead, pat yourself on the back if it makes you feel any better.

JW had everything to do with it. his thread was tweeted to fujita. fujita linked the thread on saint's talk as well as did every other message board and almost all news sources cited tigerdroppings as the source.

I'm just wondering what kind of loser would give half a shite whether people on this board want to pat themselves on the back or not. Wow, LMAO at you caring.

Both.

I am not saying you are because you laughed I'm just wondering how that's funny? I mean I listened and tried to be as objective as possible but it just wasn't funny. If you're going to use shock humor, the least you can do is make it funny.

790 is NOT the flagship station in Atlanta. Not even close.

680 the Fan crushes them in both quality and ratings. How 790 still has the Falcons is beyond me.

It doesn't say anything about being the flagship station of Atlanta.

When did they become "shock jocks"? I remember watching the CSS portion of the show a year or so ago and it seemed pretty straightforward. I actually like Dimino

It only says it's the flagship station of the Falcons, NOT Atlanta.

I just listened to it and I agree with this. It was really painful to listen to. These guys are trying to be funny, yet there was just awkward silence after each punchline. Like Zam said, they obviously realized how terrible of an idea it was as soon as they did it. Idiots. Good riddance.

I said this in the other thread, but 790 the Zone is complete shite compared to 680 the Fan.


All Atlanta sports radio is horrible. You've got these morning guys and then you have Buck Belue who is a bigger UGA homer than Finebaum ever dreamed of being a Bama homer. The area's sports radio is almost as bad as the city's reputation as a pro sports town which is embarrassingly bad. The Braves are the only franchise that gets decent support and that's because they've long been the baseball team of choice in the Southeast region. Atlanta is a horrible sports town both with its teams, its "fans", and its sports radio.
