What Happened to Vexler?

[Steve Perry]

When did he give me the silent treatment?

He is posting @ SR and not @ ST you do the math.
Jeff can post where ever he likes, it's just a shame he gives DizzG priority over you, that's an insult. or maybe it's a compliment




It must suck to not be able to speak freely about a person or a certain radio station. That's why I like being a caller/listener I have to answer to no one. I like Jeff Vexler but that does not mean I have to kiss his ass. I find at the end most people rather have that then the fake "oh your the best" lies 24/7

I have told Andrew Ashwood,Mike Cowen,Andy Everett,Chris Duel,Tony Bruno, and others when they suck and when they rock! At least they know they are getting the truth. Unlike SR where they all act like Jeff is the next Howard Cossell just to get him to post there.

Ask yourself Kori, do you really want people who always agree with you 24/7? If the The President of the United States can be critiqued, then why not the average American?

Until you see the big picture, you will never truly understand the mouse, and the way life is in San Antonio.

[Kori Ellis]

A lot of people I know who are my friends don't post here - including my brothers and sisters, that doesn't mean they are giving me the " off treatment." I talk to them outside the forum.

MomBear works at Ticket760 - Vexler worked at Ticket760, you do the math.

Yes but it would be nice to see vexler post @ St in person to show support, not everyone knows about your inside friends. I still think it's a cheesy move on his part and I will tell him at the next ST basket ball tournament.

That kinda explains alot but why wouldn't Jeff mention SR more often on the air, or have a link to their forum on his ticket web site? Why must everyone be so anal in public and act like long lost friends in person?

To bad you don't like doing radio I could ask Chris Duel to get you and Jeff on KTSA as the new Spurs duo. Jeff & kori for the real Spurs talk story.

So is MomBear mHarmon?

I just talked to him on the phone for quite a while. I'm sure he'll post soon.

[Smackie Chan]

So we get Dizzg's sloppy seconds? tell that golf playing midget we don't need him anymore!

You tell him when he posts here

[Solid D]

I like Walter. If he doesn't know...he doesn't throw wild stuff out there with the hope that it sticks. No pretenses about who he is. He's an unusual character but he does a pretty decent job in asking questions during an interview. He normally doesn't make the mistake of asking a question by stating his view and then asking if the person agrees with him.

[Smackie Chan]

I had no idea Jeff was so clueless about the www. I remember on his show one day he couldn't get over the fact that his question he posted on the www got over 1,400 replies. He kept bragging about it like he broke new ground or something. If only he would have embraced the www and ST his show would have had many good quality callers and postings. Instead he listened to Don Harris who called us all losers in our mothers basements.

WOAI/Ticket missed a golden opportunity when they dismantled the original SR and ed up a good thing with that (forced) merger and pissed everyone off. But then again would we have ST if they didn't? It's a shame the almighty "ego" has priority over common sense.

What is going on over there on the ticket 760? People seemed to get fired there on a monthly basis with no mention to the listening audience. I did'nt hear about Nate Lundy until I read it on the internet. What ever happened to Stacy the sports chick and her husband Peter Burn are they still with the Radio Station? I wish there was another sports talk radio station here in town!!!

[YoMamaIsCallin]

The continuing portrayal of Allen Iverson as some low life thug is remarkably ignorant of the truths about the way the man has turned his life around. There can be no doubt that Allen Iverson did some bad things as a kid and perhaps even in his early days as an NBA player. But in the last few years, everything out of Iverson has been solid and positive. People don't like him, but I think that's the vestige of his past and not a true reflection of the present. It does a disservice to guys like him -- guys who manage to find their way to the positive side of things -- to continue to portray him as a some thug. Aside from the fact that Pop is almost always going to have the back of any NBA players (and particularly those that he likes), the perpetuations of an outdated characterization of Iverson is what got the Ticket guys in trouble.

As for Allen having the opportunity to go to college, I'm not sure that he's any different in that respect than a great number of athletes who come from bad socio-economic conditions, but are given opportunities to better themselves at college while making the more erudite alumni happy to cheer for a winning team. For crissakes, even the Ivy League schools are allowed to seek admission of student-athletes who wouldn't otherwise qualify for admission to those ins utions. I don't see why it's a bad thing for a university -- particularly a private ins ution like Georgetown -- to be proactive in extending educational opportunities to those who might not otherwise have that opportunity.

To quote your sig, Bang!

Exactly.

I was about to write a post like this when I saw yours.

AI is not "my kind of people". I doubt either of us would be comfortable hanging out with each other. But, I've got to respect, and even admire, where he is and what he does in his life now (and for the last several years).

Unfortunately, there are those who cannot see past the way he talks and dresses and how he wears his hair. Unfortunately I must point the finger and call these people racist. Racism isn't just about skin color, although it starts there. This is not a term I use lightly but I think it fits here.

I take it you have never seen Chris Rock do comedy! Funny how some get a pass while others lose thier jobs

That's what I like about Chris Duel. after he lost his Job at WOAI he spent a whole hour on KTSA to talk to the listeners and let them know what took place and even took questions. It's like Clear Cahnnel thinks if you don't talk about something it never took place. I bet WOAI is behind the 9/11 attacks.

I feel the same about adam sandler sometimes!

[Fat boy]

I tunned in today , I could only last around 90 seconds. A wannabe sports radio host from NY doing local San Antonio radio?

[pooh]

In all honesty, they should just scrap the whole local sports talk show and just put it back to say 1/2 hr on WOAI. They've tried and tried now for 8 yrs plus and it just doesn't work. Give it up. Don't bring in Parker - loud mouth, Chance - the boy homer, Don - no more match game - Walter - I got lucky and went from the marriott to radio.

The Thompsons are "ok" when they're national and dont have to be "homerish", but just give it up. Local sports show here failed...take your losses and just plug in the rest of the Drive with Chris Myers and then Andrew and Kystal after that.

RIP local sports 1997- 'bout time.

[Whottt.]

I disagree, back in 1997 I used to love to tune in to hear what Johnny Bottom-Line had to say next. You put Andy Everett and Tim Merryman on for 3 hours and you may have a decent show. Don't forget during the Spurs season San Antonio needs to have at least 3 hours to talk about losing to the Mavericks the night before. You think AAAugular Plumbing wants
to lose all the local customers? Some of those National shows hate San Antonio the station would lose thousands of dollars.

But I can see how the thought makes your Boxers all wet. At least with Vex gone they are moist.

[Switchman]

Instead he listened to Don Harris who called us all losers in our mothers basements.

I'm new here but someone provide the link to the thread where this was discussed?

[Dude]

He said it on the air. A caller said he read at ST that Finley might be a Spur and Don said if your that stupid to read what goes on at ST your a loser with a capital "L" on your forehead. he said guys like Pooh spend their lives in their mothers basements spreading false rumors. He said you folks on the computer need to get a life. Then 30 seconds later he told the listeners to log on to ticket sports .com and check out the poll he has up

[=RTM=]

=The deal with Jeff Vexler is he is ahead of his time. His mind is on another level folks here in Texas can't keep up with. I can see him on ESPN or Fox sports in 6 months. It was Don and Wally that made Jeff get off his style of doing sports. If you do a show with Jay leno for a year you will begin to act and talk like a comic. You will think every thing is a Joke. Jeff Vexler only played the part to somehow not lose Don Harris and Wally in his superior sports knowledge.

Many of you like myself are just angry at the Ticket and we take it out on Jeff. But you mark my words if he is not on ESPN or Fox in 6 months, he will be on KTSA doing the new SportsTalk show with Chris Duel or mighty mouse. finally san Antonio has a choice.=

[=RTM=]

=This may be the worst move San Antonio radio has ever made since losing Jay Howard=

[Jimmy]

= mark my words KTSA SportsTalk show with mighty mouse. finally San Antonio has a choice.=

ing A! Jeff and mouse would rule the radio for those 3 hours! Jeff fills the show with stats and his great perditions as he breaks down each game, while mouse reads email and posts and talks smack with the callers if they have no clue what being a fan is all about. Not to mention his 900 plus sound bites that make tony Bruno sound like an Ice cream truck circling your house for 12 hours.

mix in some Kori? and you have the best ratings money can buy

[Whottt.]

I am not sure how long Mouse would last on the air but I would tune in. I hope Jeff comes out with a better job. the man works hard at what he does. he deserves better.

[Last Comic Standing]

Jeff Vexler was the only reason I tunned in, he was smart and funny. and that's no joke.

[SenorSpur]

Personally, I enjoyed Jeff's overall knowledge. I didn't hear the Iverson skit. However, if what I read was true, it was definitely in BAD TASTE.

Save the schtick and just do the damn sports.

[Last Comic Standing]

psssssst! I take it you never heard the Tony Bruno show. Comedy and sports go hand n hand like chips and salsa. The problem with Jeff, his salsa was from NewYork city
