Comments on: big dog represents you http://sticksoffire.com/2007/02/19/big-dog-represents-you/ A very loose interpretation of the news and happenings in and around Tampa Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:16:09 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: ronbo http://sticksoffire.com/2007/02/19/big-dog-represents-you/comment-page-1/#comment-176401 ronbo Wed, 06 Feb 2008 01:42:19 +0000 http://sticksoffire.com/2007/02/19/big-dog-represents-you/#comment-176401 The big dog is a big joke. He clearly doesn't prepare before he goes on air. He's a small town guy with a small mentality. I listen to him by default. He's abrasive and talks down to his callers. He should be fired and replace by someone who knows something about sports. He should just go caddy for some semi pro golfer. He raises my blood pressure. He's a complete dufous.

If you disagree with him, he'll hang up on you and then rant and rave. He think's he's Mr. Know-it-all because he gets to rub elbows with sports figures. He is constantly putting people down who live in the Tampa Bay area if they do not support the Tampa teams, yet it is clear that he is more fond of Philedelphia sports teams than Tampa's. He is obsessed with putting down John Gruden because Steve doesn't agree with the way Steve's so called friends were treated (Allstott, Keyshawn, etc). He always hides behind the excuse that he has inside knowledge. Thats a bunch of horse hockey...his inside knowledge is just his guests opinions regurgitated on air. What an idiot!

He's going on and on now about how much money he makes. That's fantastic. "Unless George Steinbrenner writes you a check you or anybody else could never afford it." Clear Channel ought to be proud of how much they're paying this bigot. “Take a guess what it would take to buy me out of my contract.” He’s going on and on now about how much money he makes.

If he is in fact religious, he may want to read what the Bible says about gambling, his favorite past time.

He views himself as the voice of "Everyman", a proud conservative, the hero of those who feel lost in a politically correct world. If you really listen to his words though, he's clearly a bigot. I was so disgusted by Thursday's show, not only because of his ignorance, but some of his callers were just as bad. There's no point in calling to argue with him either. He doesn't understand reason, he can't hold an intelligent conversation, and yells over you if you get the upper hand. Someone said there's no way to voice displeasure with him to CC management or the 620 programming director. It's true. He'll always have his sponsors. Your only recourse is to not listen and hope/pray one day he does say something that gets him fired. Duemig is good for a few homophobic rants per year.

People who hail from other cities will agree that this region's radio is piss poor. I almost did a story on Duemig years ago when he and others said frankly racist comments about Latinos...This guy takes pride in being politically incorrect. Truly disgusting. I agree with the other contributor who mentioned satellite radio, which I also subscribe to. But Tony Bruno is pretty humorous (if a tad conservative) on air between 9am and 1PM. Tim,

What I like about Costas, and Kornheiser, is the same thing you find in the greatest athletes. Franchise making players have an ability to see how things are taking shape on the field/floor long before mere mortals have a clue. Great sports broadcasters can pull the strands of a game, season, sport, the march of history even, into a coherent whole that transcends "we love 'em cause they're the local team." Costas is just plain smart, and Kornheiser is a fabulously funny writer even when he's not writing about sports. David, great to know there is another Costas fan out there.
