    Holy Christmas - is that ever weird. And, yeah - most definitely not an incident on public transportation. You have to think that the AGM was impaired in some way. Flynn's tack is sort of funny: Not the crime of the century, but I gotta call a press conference about it. In this particular instance, though, I sort of love that my elected DA is maybe going out of his way to take a shot at a divisional rival for "uncool" behaviour. Also, having dealt with Flynn quite a bit back in the day, I had more recently observed to myself that Flynn's public appearances were more ... polished than I recalled him being (those appearances that were in his capacity as a candidate for DA and then as the elected DA). This presser featured more of Flynn's trademark style of speech. I always enjoyed it.

    I wonder if it's a nod to Canada, though. (HNIC.) I clicked because I thought I'd read some wacky story about a fist fight on the metro rail. Turns out, it was an incident on a hotel shuttle bus.

    Well, there's no automated way of tracking that sort of readership, innit? I'd venture to say that TBN could rely on a large share of print readership to look for Sullivan's and Gleason's columns. I'd also surmise that TBN is not terribly concerned with retaining print readership. There's certainly no growing it.
  4. That Aud Smell
    My point would be: If the clicks were there, TBN would not have moved to take away their columns.

    ^ Interesting. Occam’s razor, as Eleven noted. Especially so if the antipathy crossed over from “I’m going to click to see what this idiot says” to “I never read that guy’s column.” The click numbers wouldn’t have lied.

    Is June 1 a date of significance?

    But those who must generate and then report financial results to Mr. Buffett very well may. In this particular instance, though, I tend to agree with you more than not. I only got this started by saying it was plausible that TBN's business interests in separating Sullivan and Gleason may have extended to an interest in currying favour with PSE. OTOH, if that were really what's afoot, Vogl would have stayed put and Harrington would be gone.

    And sometimes a foundering legacy media company that kowtows to the region's wealthy in a desperate effort to shore up its bottom line is just ... is just that.

    It's that simple, eh? Oh, and they sho nuff do. They sho nuff do.

    There was a lot to like in his demeanor. There was not a lot to like in his roster-building and franchise architecture. The former was evident right away, and was naturally celebrated. The latter took some time to emerge, and was rightly decried.

    Query how and why that came to be. And what implications that might have for a sphere of influence. PSE may have little or nothing to complain about when it comes to TBN, but that certainly doesn't foreclose them having influence. Quite the contrary, I'd think.

    Lord (Stanley), yes. And now I'm trying to think of what other saves belong that list.
  14. That Aud Smell
    I'm sure there were some who did. People used to say a lot of things.

    Thanks, fellas. This is the good sh1t. (Not the method or approach, necessarily (but, sure, maybe), just keeping current on what's being discussed out thar.) Stop. The guy was wondrously greasy. I'd be hard pressed to think of a bigger save, given the situation.

    ^ Setting aside the overwhelming bias of that Fredonia Journo professor (!!) and the fact that his writing makes Gleason’s style seem sophisticated, I do note with interest his theory that OneBuffalo (PSE) could be partly responsible for eliminating Sullivan and Gleason. Certainly, TBN has elsewhere become an unapologetic mouth piece for the Buffalo Niagara Partnership (i.e., the real estate developers, the manufacturers, and major local money havers in general).

    Your words, not mine. It's also not the point I was making.

    Less talented and even more aggressive, yes. He was never a favourite of mine.

    I have a close friend and several cousins who grew up in the DMV and are true-blue Caps fans (not Ovechkin bandwagoners). None of them have any illusions about who and what Wilson is -- they're not cheering that arsehole when he recklessly annihilates yet another opponent-player.** ** I will recognize that the SCF might prompt them to take leave of their senses.

    Also in danger of getting lost in the sauce here is that Tom Wilson is a POS.
  24. That Aud Smell
    It really is poppy to argue that eliminating hits like the one Wilson delivered is tantamount to taking hitting out of the game. The NFL enacted a rule that was intended to eliminate, or greatly reduce (I'm honestly not sure), those Hines Ward crack-back specials. I think the NHL should do something similar. The root of the issue can be found just beneath the surface of such sentiments.

    Ah, I see. Okay. Also: Lulz. Thirdly: The CBS's of the world are in their own dogfight for survival.
