    Did you read what Weave posted?  Did you ignore it?  It laid out some good reasons why this press conference was held.  You seem to just want to ignore things and rage about "inaction".  Stupid action is just as bad.

    But is he wrong?  If he's not wrong, and I don't believe he is, then you are the one who looks like a joke for simply saying this in response to his accurate statements.

    Before you have a plan you evaluate what needs to be done.  When you have a plan you evaluate how it's being played out.  And, it's a press conference to answer questions, if anyone thought they'd actually get detailed answers they are the fools.  What Adams did has been done time and time again across sports leagues and each time people are amazed at how little is said.

    Sometimes statements are made without being directly made.

    No, it's not.  He can have full authority to act but still want to consult people on his thinking.  I have full authority to go spend $1000 right now, but I'll probably confer with my wife before I do it.

     

    If you think Bulldog is a credible broadcaster, then I really don't know what to say. All he does is regurgitate others opinions. How one can be in the same job for 25 years and not get better is really amazing.

    I would think if there’s a media event tomorrow then there would be an announcement, no?

    No. I think it will be the old vote of confidence by the GM, which can be the kiss of death. My friend in Columbus thinks that Torts has somewhat lost the team. We'll see.

    Who says he's on thin ice in Columbus? I've not heard that anywhere. 

    Rumblings about the losing streak and the way their playing. GM is meeting with the media tomorrow to give him the dreaded vote of confidence. If their slide continues,  things could get interesting.

    I listened to the first hour of the Instigators as well. I won’t list to Schopp and the Bulldog because I’d rather listen to the sound of two opossums getting it on than listen to them for 5 mins 

    I'll save you the trouble listening to the show that missed the Tiger Woods breaking news COMPLETELY 

    Schoop: How does JJ Watt going to Arizona impact my fantasy draft?

    Bulldog:  Aashh. Ummm, aaahh, did you know my son plays hockey?

    I wondered how long it would take for someone to get in some Mike Schoop hate.

    He was off and not present for this phone call; Sal C. was there.

    I would recommend everyone listen to the full segment; it's really good.

     

    Ok, I went back and listened and Yost was really good. Bulldog was tolerable.

    My problem with S&B is they are lazy. They admit they don't watch games and then talk about the game.

    My friend listens everyday and he told me that on Tuesday they missed the breaking Tiger Woods news...completely. Instead it was fantasy behavior talk.. He said he had to turn on WBEN of all places to get info. I thought he was kidding but I went back and listened and he was right.

    This town needs another station dearly.

    That was strange, did it not happen or did they cut it out? 

    Also, I forgot how awesome LaFontain's pass to May was. Wow, laying flat out he passes tape to tape to May. Sick. 

    I had thought May had kissed his stick right before he scored, but it was earlier, though they replayed it a few times. 

    Keith Carney was on the team but didn't stick around long. He went on to have a long and successful NHL career, another one that got away...

    They missed the handshake completely. I believe they later apologized for it. Production was terrible in those days and it really hasn't gotten that much better. I remember it being a massive screw up.
