I never respected them before, they’re just entertainment and shtick with a little sports talk thrown in. I don’t get real attached or think too much about sports talk radio personalities. I’d care much more if something happened to Eric Nadel.

It’s ALL on him. If I was Rhyner or Corby I would be pissed too. He was messing with their livelihood with all of that crap. Of course, I always thought Williams was a no talent ass clown so maybe I am biased. There was nothing worse than listening to that show when he had to be the lead dog in Rhyner’s absence. If he thinks he can do that full time he is clearly still on something.

but sucks that he ruined all of his friendships too.

Awful lot of Ticket hate in that article. Greggo did this to himself.

I’m split on this issue. Obviously after reading 8 pages, you’re going to have more sympathy for the subject of the article. I agree, the dude pissed everything away and he seems to have come to terms with that. Rhynes seems forward and candid.

Honestly, I don’t see a lot of difference between Greggo’s comments in the article and things Josh Hamilton has said… Josh got his second chance (or 6th, however you want to look at it) we’ll see if Greggo gets his.

Great article. Like everyone has said, it’s hard to feel sorry for him when he pissed it all away. Never knew it got as far as suicide though, that’s scary. Even though I didn’t think he offered much to the Hardline other than the great drops I hope he gets his shit straight for good.

I left DFW for home (San Antonio) in 07’ and listened regularly. Heard a little bit about what went down but not much. Thanks for the update.

That Mike and Greg weren’t all that friendly for years, but that Corby and he split like that was surprising.

The article makes mention of the “grand illusion” that we’re all in on the bit and we know these people. Of course that’s true—we don’t really know them at all. Still, when you invest a significant amount of time in them (I was in the car with my dad on Day 1 and have been listening ever since), you do feel a certain connection, and the decisions impact you.

That was a very well-written article about a very sad thing. Greg Williams never added all that much to the show; ‘Greggo’, on the other hand, was an integral part of what made them far more enjoyable than Russ Martin or anything else locally.

The show is less ballsy now, and I think Corby and Danny are stretched too thin. Guess it’s just another reason to look back fondly on the past and lament the present.

kinda sux know. They just read the sports page and thats all for the sports. cobra is an eltist golf douche who was cooler as the weed smoking kid and they’ve embraced success poorly esp. the Hardline. Oh well i still listen all day but the quality has decreased. the only ppl their who acutally earn their money are I can believe im saying this Norm, Sturm and Grubes.

I never would have thought Corby would have been that SORRY,
Two why in the HELL were Bob, Dan, Donovan involved in the meeting when Greggo came back, those Spares need to KNOW THERE ROLE!

on air?

THAT WASNT A QUESTION!

Only thing i miss about greggo is the drop’s

Whitt’s done this more thoroughly than I could imagine it being.
It’s truly a shame that it had to happen this way. I feel for Greggo, who obviously has some inner demons he’ll struggle with for a long, long time. And I’m going to have a hard time feeling anything but disgust for Corby in the immediate future.

As much as they run people down on the air, not surprising that they are worse off it.

Good article, thanks for posting. So much of that station is bullshit, I remember them hyping bodysolutions for a long time until the FTC sued the manufacturer and it turned out it was just water with aloe vera.

not to say it is not Greggo’s fault, just the common man, friend of the P1 routine is tired and nobody should be surprised at who they really are

is the money those guys make. You look up some of the homes on the CAD sites that those guys have and it’ll surprise you. It’s not like they are making Dale Hansen money, but those guys do a lot better then they let on.

The Hardline is supposedly going to address the article. I’ve heard five, but the station itself said “at some point.” This should be interesting….

Rhyner just confirmed it will be discussed today starting at 4:50.

He ended the announcement by saying “Hopefully after this we won’t have to discuss it, or him, again”

Well that will be worth tuning into, if only to hear them dance.

really damned if they do and damned if they don’t, b/c kind of sucks to not have him on there to respond

Man this stuff is deep. I understand their frustration and i know someone who is just like greggo. They have chance after chance after chance and their lifestyle never changes and their habitual lying never stops. I can totally see how these guys were just tired of it. My sister, not by blood by by life, was this way and is a heroin addict and has completely killed her family, lost her little girl and continues to lie to everyone saying shes clean and then a week later, is put in prison for failing another drug test. Tough life man and they hurt the people that love the the most every day. I just pray that their heart is changed for real.

They’re disputing quite a bit of what Williams claims in the article. And considering what this is all about, you really have to believe them, not him, I’d think.

now theyre on about greggo saying they drove him out by bringing corby to the spotlight…but cmon.
how often did they ask greggo something and he was in another world and had NO clue what was going on

So we can keep discussing it in lieu of unrealistic trade scenarios.
Incidentally, did they put the segment up on the Ticket podcast? I was working when the segment aired :(

They ought to make a movie titled: “The Pitchmen” modelled after “The Tin Men.” by Barry Levinson, 1987.

that’s what I think of the ticket personalities et al.

I didn’t think this needed a new thread so I figured this was a good place….

Why is Larry Brown on the radio? He was on the Ticket yesterday with John Rhadigan filling in for the Hardline. He is unintelligible most of the time which would be somewhat acceptable if he had any idea what he was talking about. I would be willing to cut him some slack if I thought that maybe he was just out of his element by having to talk about stuff other than football but he’s terrible on the Cowboys pre-game show too.

I realize that former players get radio jobs just because they are former players but he has got to be the worst one I have ever heard on a major market station.
