Bacsik Interview on Ticket 760

[in2deep]

The only thing that was bush league was to reward that racist idiot by giving him free publicity on the radio...

I agree this topic should have died with the Mavericks.

But this guy didn't even apologize to Mexicans. He just said "im sorry" like a regular idiot. Maybe that's what pissed Bruce off.

Good thread here peeps.

To address why I booked Bacsik on the show. It was a local story, regional story, and made some national headlines. It had a sports foundation, and it was directed towards San Antonio. So of course It was a topic worth having.

Regarding whoring out for topics, it's not as if I had Bacsik on the show to put on a pity party. If anything I didn't really have a stance. I wanted to conduct the interview, ask him what happened, and take us through what the **** he was thinking. If you are going to rip me for having him on, then rip every other network, and Tv show for booking controversial guests. I stand by it 100%.

Regarding Bruce's behaviour, he made it clear that he didn't agree that we booked him before the show, he could have them opted to bow out, and let us go on. But Bruce being Bruce decided to chime in, and take a stance. It's unfortunate, because the interview was not about taking a stance. We all know the guy is in idiot, but I wanted people here in town to put a voice to the apology. When I read his quotes in the paper, I thought it was an awfully easy out for him to say he was sorry to a reporter. Hence why I invited him on.

I'm with everyone of you and agree that this guy was an idiot, but to play the holier than thou act on his apology and not let the man talk was bush league.

I wanted to hear what the guy had to say and wanted in on what happened behind the scenes of the Ticket during his firing...Bruce ruined it with his grand standing.

Props to you for booking the interview and at least trying to get something better than the corporate apology statements that have been floated out about this whole situation. I love Bruce for helping us win 3 les but, if he is going to go into 8 year old tantrum mode, maybe talk radio isn't his forte. I'm sure ESPN will let him state his opinions free of controversial guest booking.
