There was nothing even remotely offensive about their Barea/Najera comment. Bob mentioned how "weak" the Najera play was, and questioned his very purpose on the team.Not all guys wear panties like you, dude.
And I didn't say it had anything to do with Bacsik. I was just speculating that it might, just like you are speculating that it didn't have anything to do with it.
Really don't give a rat's ass. And it's their show, they can say what they want as long as the sponspors keep paying. So, carry on the stereotype jokes!
Sounds to me like people are simply LOOKING for a reason to get upset about the initial derogatory comments.
You say its not racist so let's look at it another way. Suppose he was talking about a black player ata time when there were not alot of black players in the game. It would look like this.
"Get rid off (any name), they already have one black player for their black community in (any name). I think when you look at it that way it looks pretty racist to me.
Fans of the shows on that station just accept that it's Ok to make statements like this.
If you like the comedian, the show, or whatever, you are probably 100% convinced that it's just schtick (sic). Nothing more. Say the most inappropriate thing and it's funny because who in their right mind say that? You lean one way, then do a 180 and go the other way.
If you like the show, it's schtik. If you don't, you're offended. Whatever the community does, how they react, determines which it is: joke or offensive.
I think the suspension is appropriate. Enough punishment to (hopefully) make him consider his actions, without completely ruining his livelihood. The guy may be a racist dumbass, but that doesn't necessarily means he deserves to be standing in the unemployment line.
I am huge Spurs fan, but The Ticket is pure greatness. Sports radio stations all over the country have tried to mimic what they have unsuccessfully. There are a ton of inside jokes, bits, and schtick that go on that outsiders just don't understand.
, it took me almost 2 years of listening to it to "get it."
What Bacsik said was completely inappropriate and he should be punished but lay off the radio station. It's by far the best sports radio station in the country.
I worked on the station in the mid-late 90's and did a lot of stuff for the Rant, Musers and Hardline. They have the best sports station in the country and they basically have Gordon to thank...the guy is a genius.
That said, Bacsik is a spare and I wouldn't mind seeing him go. Maybe they can coerce Fredo to come back...
You may have a point.
But you don't.
Not regarding this. I listened to what Dan said and I have to say....the knucklehead above paraphrased it to sound racist. He went Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton hearing something that isn't there.
ah, the power of the ever changing demographic in america. and thus the suspension...
Ohh his station has inside jokes and bits we don't get?
how outrageous, Only in America!
I couldn't care less about Mike Bacsik but you email tattletaling mother ers better not with my station beyond that.
I lived in Dallas until recently and listened to the Ticket on occassion. The morning show was mildly funny, usually when they did their impersonations of Jerry Jones and other Dallasites. Of course, they didn't know jack about sports and they didn't spend much time talking about sports either.
As for the afternoon show, it was so lame I turned it off. They certainly tried to be funny, but they weren't. They also didn't know jack about sports, so I couldn't waste my time.
that bag...JJ isnt even mexican. guess he thinks all hispanics/latinos are Mexicans.
honestly, i have major concerns with anyone who "gets" sports talk radio...
i kid, i kid (well, mostly.)
USLoC, FTW.I wonder if people even think that their ry will be immortalized?
[Greggo]There are 4 races in the world: White, black, Mexican, and Chinese[/Greggo]
Dan didn't say that.
Bob was going off about Najera about how ridiculous it was to foul Manu, and Dan said something like, "We already have one undersized, high energy Mexican, we didn't need another one that can't do anything"
but it was a passing thing
During e-news Corby was talking about a celeb who was "twittering over the weekend, which we have found out is a really bad idea, ...." and went on with his story. lol
Awesome he got suspended, what a .
The Ticket makes fun of everything not just mexicans though. There aren't any sacred cows. It's impossible to describe the station to anyone who has not listened at least a week straight. It's not even a real sports station, its like 50% entertainment non sports.
I used to scoff the outta the Ticket until I lost a bet and had to listen for a week. It sucks you in. But its not constant racial remarks, its very abrasive on all fronts.
Best radio station in the country.
Other than corby noone mentioend a word about it, especially Norm. He started out his show saying he did not want to hear one complaint about the refs.
If I'm not mistaken, Mike Bacsik has a big-time SA connection -- he was an ace pitcher for the Trinity Tigers back in the early '70's.
If this Bacsik had only a 6 year ML career and pitched to "The Living Fathead" Barry Bonds, that must have been Papa in the 70s.
Agree. It really is great radio, nationally recognized too, it competes amazingly with the big boys (Chicago, New York ,L.A., etc.) which has gigantic budgets compared to the little ticket I'm sure.
First time I heard it was 1998. Driving to work, new to the city. And on that day, I heard, of course, the Mexican stereotype crap. Something about leaf blowers or something. I was so damn offended, I palced the call and was on hold forever, didnt get on air. A month later, I couldn' get enough of it and was a loyal listner for the next 11 years.
Like I said, if you like it, it's schtik. I like their shows, so, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
BUT...
How do you really know if some of them aren't really racists hiding behind schtik? This Mike guy, had he said it on radio, it wouldve been just another thing like that people say on the radio. But he said it off air and when he was pissed. How many people are racists hiding behind an act that allows it?
Nobody gives a about the shtick cbf, that's like saying you don't understand how the country club works or why players want to play for stoops, well HNaturally...
That's his dad in the trinity hall of fame, Jim Bob said today
Per Wikipedia:
SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket has won many awards over the years. Among them, is the 2007 Marconi Award for "Best Sports Station in America" at the National Association of Broadcasters' annual conference on September 27, 2007.
The best part of the The Ticket is the don't just blindly support the home team. Jr. Miller loves the Spurs and Mike Rhyner picked the Spurs over the Mavs and has expressed his admiration for the Spurs on many occasions. Some of them are homers, but there is a good balance.
At least he didn't call us nappy headed hoes
