Joe Beningno, stinks. Mike Francessa, hack. Chris "Mad Dog" Russo, fool. Craig Carton...
While a case probably could be made that Carton belongs on the above list, I rather like him. He's a lifelong New York Mets fan, so I know he's a smart man. Some of the things he's said have been pretty dumb, like when he "divorced" the Mets in early June.
After the sweep at the hands of the Padres, Carton began proceedings and took out paperwork to divorce himself from the team. Obviously, he looks like a fool now, but something he said today proved that some people in mainstream media are starting to get with the program.
During a segment this morning Carton started talking about Jason Giambi and his All Star weekend festivities. Carton referenced a photo of Giambi drinking straight from a bottle of Jack Daniels at a club in Las Vegas. Carton then told listeners where to find the photo, and to my shock, it was a blog.
Sure, Deadspin is probably the most popular sports blog, but it's a start. It gives hope to all those lowly bloggers out there that yes, you too might have a chance at greatness. And that greatness is being mentioned by a host on an AM sports radio station.
Speaking of WFAN, one man who does NOT belong on TV is Chris Carlin... that man has a terrible lisp that he either needs to fix or get off TV.
ReplyDeleteYou would think these people would notice it. Also, another horrible man when it comes to TV is Scott Ferrall. His voice is so bad that when I have visitors in my home and the TV volume is on LOW, they want to wonder what is wrong with this guy.
