On my way into work I had on WIP....

G-Cobb was on and when he came back from a break Reuben Frank had to jump on early (it was right before the 2300 shift started) because he said "G was chasing a story".

So G comes back on and says that "an internet story says Simon has signed with Indy for big money". So G Cobb called Corey inbetween breaks and Corey said that it was news to him and he did not sign anywhere yet.

So either Corey was bullshteintin G-Cobb or ESPN is wrong.

And the funny thing is after G says this on the air that dumbass Jan Gorum still puts it in her update.

have you ever heard anyone butcher an update like she does on a regular basis?

Dude. She's brutal.

The only thing I ever liked that she has done is last year when she blasted Ed Wade on a conference call. That's when that douchebag John Clarke from NBC10 started profusely apologizing to Wade for her questions. Hilarious.

She mispronounces names and the voice infliction she uses makes me wish I was listening to an air horn blowing in my ear at close range.

Thankfully WPEN-950 has hired Tony Bruno for their morning show. He starts on October 3rd.

The only time I'll listen to WIP is when Reuben Frank, Paul Jolovitz or Jim Jackson is on.

suprisingly, Jim Jackson does a pretty good talk show and it's not even Flyer dominated.

i just posted an update in th WPEN thread that they officially did hire Bruno and they are talking to Martorano (who i don't really like) and Conklin

I like Jackson too. Other than being a Giants fan, he talks better football than half of the other nitwits on that station. And he actually knows baseball too.

When him & Big Daddy did their post-MNF shows last year he'd embarass Big Daddy with his football knowledge. I don't know how Big Daddy has a job in Sports Radio.

big daddy sucks, he's supposedly a stand up comedian but i have never once laughed at anything he has said on his show. i usually like when Cataldi is on vacation, but not when Big Daddy is filling in, he's worse

Angelo is on vacation now. But Rhea is still there and I cannot stand her. I like Al.

Rhea is a useless hole, her sports knowledge is suspect at best.

Does anyone else see the humor in Simon to Indy? Remember the Probowl when Simon took a cheap shot at Manning (late uneccesary hit) and then he faked injury to draw attention away from the hit. He got up w/a cheesy guilty looking grimace. It was the year before I think. Manning must be happy to get help on his D but I doubt Corey is his boy.
