OT: Local sports coverage talk (the Athletic/Local TV/TBN/WGR/Charging Buffalo/LGA, etc)

[Samsonite23]

Not sure if anybody was listening...Dan Carcillo just dropped a bombshell of an interview on wgr (Bulldog). I usually only listen to wgr to and from work (about 10-15 minutes a day). I sat in my parked car for an extra 15-20 minutes to listen to him talk about concussions, Montador, the case against the NHL, Bettman, coaches. He even got into some specifics about team employees telling him to shut up about his fight for mental health, concussions....it was one of the best interviews I’ve heard in a LONG time.

They said they would re-air the interview later tonight.

Wtf. My heart goes out to the guy. I can’t imagine the levels of sadness

 

[sabrebuild]

Yeesh, that's a lot of heartbreak over the last couple months.

 

[sufferer]

Unbelievable.

TBN has been sold:

TBN has been sold:

Much like the Sabres, hiring competent people to replace the idiots will be their agenda, but they'll fail in typical Buffalo fashion(no, not cargo shorts).

 

[Buffaloed]

TBN has been sold:

Here's a couple newspapers owned by Lee
tucson.com | Tucson.com - Arizona Daily Star - No. 1 Tucson website for news, sports, cars, homes, jobs
stltoday.com | the #1 St. Louis website

I think they have one of the best digital formats. I hate the sliders and popovers used by Gannett. I think BN was designed by friends of Sabres Alumni.

$140 mil? Consider newspaper profitability a gap in my knowledge base... I wouldn’t think the biggest newspaper company in a market like Buffalo would be worth close to that much.

Edit: Ahhhh never mind. Berkshire Hathaway was bought for $140 mil. That makes muchhhh more sense.

Berkshire Hathaway sold all the newspapers it owns for $140 million. It wasn’t purchased. That would take a lot of billions.

Appreciate the clarification. I realized it was just the newspapers. I didn’t exactly voice that well.

Rumors are rampant about big changes coming to TBN. Eddie the shoeshine boy has been talking up Bucky and Jerry

 

[Buffaloed]

I wonder if Harrington was told he won't be part of Lee Enterprises plans and is going down in a ball of flames.

There has been a serious lack of a Bucky in my life and it's never felt better.

 

[Chainshot]

Going from Jim Kelley and Tim Graham covering the team to Bucky and Mike is like the O’Reilly trade for journalism.

 

[TehDoak]

I wonder if Harrington was told he won't be part of Lee Enterprises plans and is going down in a ball of flames.

I wonder what his journalism degree will get him on the open market since he won't have a platform to bully twitter users from anymore. I'm sure there's some mall Kiosk he can angrily yell at people from.

Wish I could say the same. He now works at Catholic Health - which is where I work. I get to have a full dose of Bucky several times a week. (Is there a puke emoji?)

If we could be so lucky.

It's clear his former colleagues don't like him -- at least Tim Graham flat out detests him -- unlike Sullivan who seems to have gotten well-wishes from most in light of the cancellation of his radio show.

 

[Chainshot]

Anyone else mildly amused that GR’s afternoon program spent about 40 minutes talking about alcohol before going into the pregame coverage? I think their hosts have been told not to be hard on the team and there’s really nothing else to talk about other than how to drown your sorrows.

 

[TehDoak]

Wow
