Didn't Mueller allude to racism as a reason people don't like the NBA in Pittsburgh as well? I seem to recall hearing that from him.

I've never heard that. Sounds like something Madden would say tho, if it wasn't such a stupid thing to say.

[DudeMan2766]

Hahaha wow this Final Word is a piece of work. Viewer videos?? LOL

it was Cook and Poni on the Vinnie & Cook show today. I listened for about 2 min. Cook contradicted himself twice as to whether the Pens would win the series, saying he "didn't like the Pens chances in this series" and later changing to "I can see the Pens winning this."

Poni's whole argument was "Ottawa knows what goalie will be starting, so they're gonna win."

[Troy Loney]

Cook is a crumedgeon and poni is a contrarian.

[Malkamaniac]

You know who is awful? Zeise. Hate that guy.

Cook is a crumedgeon and poni is a contrarian.

The show and especially these two individually are like a train wreck. It's so bad but you can't turn away from it.

I'm even trying to think of how to rank the hosts. Zeise is definitely at the bottom, and despite Poni's best effort he's only the second worst at the station.

Troy Clarridy (sp?) is the worst, IMO. The only thing he wants to do is talk NFL draft and random draft prospects. Listening to him try to talk hockey is torture. He spells out every little detail in trying to make himself sound like he knows what he is talking about, when he could have made his point in 30 seconds.

That dude sounds like someone they found on the street that morning to talk sports.

[Nuge]

I like Tab Douglas

Get out of my head JSC.

I like Tab Douglas

He's a HOFer, compared to some of the other "talent" on the air in PGH.

As boring as he can be, I actually don't mind him as much as the other hosts. Sometimes all I need from a host is to direct caller traffic, jump in with a reasonable opinion, and change up the discussion as needed. Miserable Ron is too busy being a bitter jerk of a host to the listeners and to Vinnie, and Poni seems to be more worried about being controversial and outside of the box.

If I'm driving back home and listening on a weekend afternoon, I realize the station isn't gonna put their top tier talent in a slot where ratings are considerably lower.

Mueller on Twitter comparing Ovi's comments about refereeing to the Lakers-Kings series in 2002. Dude is such an NBA fanboy he won't let it go.

[Letang Is The Truth]

Burn the nba supporters!

[slappybrown]

I'm whatever on Mueller, but this fixation with his love for the NBA is odd to me. I get perhaps the complaint that in the midst of a playoff series, it wouldn't make sense to lead with the Bulls-Heat series, but if its somewhere on his show -- or on his twitter -- I don't really have an issue with it.

[DudeMan2766]

Hi. I'm a troll who works on the Fan. I dont even at least try...

Pens can say this is an easier matchup. Lets see if they're still feeling that way when Anderson has a 35 save shutout in game 2

[pensfan1989]

I asked him if he enjoyed being a troll and he accused me of slander

[Kovy27]

I got followed by DK today on twitter. I think he's trying to intimate me because I've done nothing but trash him for about a month now.

[DudeMan2766]

LOL. Well isnt saying the Pens said something they obviously didnt say also a form of slander?

[MRandall25]

You should tell him that it would be libel, not slander.

[Letang Is The Truth]

you should say 'your mom goes to college'

He blocked a friend of mine on twitter but for some reason still follows him lol. Alby Ox still follows me for whatever reason.
