Thom Brennaman, welcome to the unemployment line

I had a wicked curve ball with a tennis ball. Lost count of how many fence boards we had to replace.

 

You may be onto something here. I begged the coach - who was my cousin for crissakes- to let me try pitching Summer after fourth grade. I had been throwing a tennis ball all winter to develop a delivery. I’d throw that damn tennis ball for hours a day, after school, weekends, cold weather Never did get a crack that year because, surprise, the assistant coach’s sons were the pitching staff.

the following year I wasn’t selected for my cousins team so I had a whole new set of coaches who tried out each player for pitching. Sheeeeit. I’d been practicing for that audition for two whole years. You’ll all be happy to know that when we faced my cousin’s team I struck his son (obviously my cousin as well) twice, the second time looking.

about 10 years ago I played catch with a friend’s son and I got the pins and needles feeling in my fingertips for the first couple of minutes of warming up. My girlfriend is convinced i did some sort of damage from four straight of warning up in the bullpen.

 

That’s what you can do when you have a full ten toes.

 

You son of a bitch.

 

Not to interrupt a perfectly good stickball / nostalgia jack, but Brennaman has already been replaced by Fox on its NFL telecasts.

Making the Reds look even worse.

Kevin Kugler to replace Thom Brennaman on Fox NFL coverage, per report

 

In the early 80s, we played with something called a mushball. It was like a baseball, but mushy. And had huge raised seams, so you could really throw a curve.

 

I believe people are killing time as they try to “decipher” your lengthy acronym.

I am jesting!

 

Tony Bruno, welcome to the unemployment line!

RADIO WARS: After Deadspin Story, Tony Bruno's Show is Pulled From SiriusXM - Crossing Broad

 

So racist asshole Tony Bruno is threatening to sue Deadspin for accurately quoting him being a racist asshole.

Good to see his career arc will continue the path it's been on for years now -- burrowing to the center of the earth. He's managed to go from ESPN to something called "Sports Map Radio."

 

If you get kicked off SiriusXM..........well then you're just too stupid for words.

 

After helping create ESPN and Fox Sports Radio its pretty fucking remarkable how far he’s dropped — doing a podcast in his kitchen in South Philly.

 

Also got the boot from KNBR after racial remarks.
