tournaments are independent entities and can sell their rights to anyone.....i have no clue why they did it to the station, but there you go.

and another unrelated note:
rams games in LA have been out-rated by other games in that market the last 2 weeks. so more people in LA watched seahawks/pats than the rams game. this never happens anywhere else, even in places like tennessee.

[QB Eagles]

Eh. It's their first year and the Rams are the most unwatchable team in the league.

The bleeding continues at ESPN:

i think they need more shows where 2 reporters pretend to argue about stuff.

[MDS]

pretty much every cable network is suffering from the same thing....it has nothing to do with the content and everything to do with the medium

So one of my co-workers likes to tune into WIP Monday mornings after the Eagles lose...

We're listening and a Cowboys fan just called in and was stoking the flames and said something like "pretty soon we have to use the B word for Wentz"

Ang says "what is the B word?"

Caller says "bust"

Ang goes "I got another B word for you. You're a bitch! You stumbled on Dak and I'd like to see him with this offensive line and lousy receivers. Go call Dallas radio you horses ass"

lmaooooooo

i listened to his interview with doug today just to get more mad at doug (success)....2 seconds after that was over he brought on kenny from the dirty 30 and i turned on music

Berman stepping down from NFL shows. He's staying with the network but, looks like he's not going to be doing on air stuff.

[phattymatty]

hmm...that must be what the dozens of berman montages over the past 9 months have been about.

Looks like he's not going off air completely, but won't be on nearly as much.
