Great show last night. After short technical difficulties and two hiccups on the automation the show sailed smoothly. I especially liked when a fellow Z89 DJ called in to lambaste me for technical problems, telling me that I’m “f*****g terrible” and I should “get off the air.”
Fantastic. Nothing says “warm and friendly community” quite like a call from a peer saying, in as many words, “You Suck.”
It just reminds me how I felt in August.
Back to the actual show. Covered a lot of topics. Mike Lederer stopped in to talk about NFL players getting tendered offers and, of couse, the labor dispute. Then we talked MLB DUIs and injury issues. And finished with BYU’s Brandon Davies having permarital sex and Elgin Baylor.

My Five Cents
Say what you want to about soccer but at least it’s changing with the times. Unlike baseball soccer utilizes the fact that it is 2011.
Today, FIFA said it will fund more goal-line technology trials. FIFA president Sepp Baylor decided to pursue more after 10 systems failed to meet the the quality standards. They were said to be too slow and innaccurate.
Blatter, who originally opposed using technology, changed his mind about entering the 21st century following mistakes at the 2010 World Cup.
Chances of the MLB embracing this kind of technology for outfield walls? Zero.
That’s why the world loves soccer and only old people in America loves baseball.
Thursday Afternoon Tiramisu
Mike Bibby, who signed a one-year contract witht he Miami Heat, practiced with the team for the first time today. And he may even suit up for the game against the Orlando Magic.
It will be a playoff atmosphere, which plays to Bibby’s expertise. He’s started 80 postseason games, more than any player on the Heat roster.
The Heat are Bibby’s third team in a little more than a week. He was traded by the Atlanta Hawks to the Washington Wizards last week, then negotiated a buyout from the Wizards on Monday.
Bibby told the Associated Press: “It’s been a long week.”
NickelBlock’d
Brandon Davies. Poor kid. He admits to doing something that, like, 70% of college kids do on a regular basis and got suspended from the BYU basektball team for the remainder of the season.
And it’s not for drinking copious amounts of alcohol. He had premarital sex.
Really, Mormarica? You’re telling me it’s so bad that he is suspended for the remainder of the season?
Congrats to the BYU basketball player who got suspended for having sex! Now the whole world knows what a bad mormon you are! Hahahahaha
