Monday 2 July

If you came here wanting to hear about the TK-less TK show, sorry, but we're not going to listen to it. Best of luck to Sterne and all the folks there though.

If there is any big TK news, we'll try to mention it here. If not, come back next year for more Tony.

BTW, if you are really desperate for TK minutae and trivia, I'm sure there are places on the net for you to discuss it (assuming you follow the draconian rules).

Yes, it is true

If you ended up here thanks to TK's not-so-subtle reference on PTI to being back on radio tomorrow, it is indeed true.

Here's the Cliffs Notes version:

TK starts tomorrow morning at 8:30 ET on WTWP (Washington Post Radio) in DC.

No, Andy is not there.
No, Gary is not there.
Yes, Sterne/Nigel is there.

If you can't listen live, we should have a recap up soon after the show ends. If we get up in time, maybe even live blogging as the show unfolds.

Not a TK fan obviously part 2

Dr. Z's comments on the NFL Broadcast teams, from SI.COM:

Zero Stars

Joe Theismann, Mike Tirico and Tony Kornheiser, ESPN
I've raged against this outfit for years and it hasn't done a bit of good, so I won't waste an awful lot of space on their newest clown, Kornheiser, or their play-by-play guy, Tirico, who brings you only part of the action, and none at all if there's one of those interminable guest-in-the-booth abominations. But I will say that I approached their Giants-Dallas show in Week 7 with absolute dread because I knew the T.O. stuff would beonce again flogged to death in tedious and humorless terms. And they didn't disappoint me. When I die and go to hell, hell will be a Kornheiser bit on T.O.-prolonged indefinitely.

Not a TK fan obviously part 1

Chris Berman is playing the week at Pebble Beach. Did anyone yell out "You're With Me, Leather," the great smarmy quote attributed to him Deadspin and other sites?

Sadly, no. But when asked about the phrase, here's what The Fat Man said:

From the Morning Buzz Blog:


He hasn’t heard this particular phrase — “not once, because the people here are nice people.”

He asked why I was asking. I told him: because this thing has taken on cultural-phenomenon status. To which he said, yeah, for a bunch of anonymous guys on the Internet. To which I said, well, Kornheiser and Olbermann used it.

To which he said, “Like I said, there are some mean-spirited people.”

Getting some of the band back together

TK's new show at Post Radio won't have andy or gary, but it will have Nigel.

It can now be revealed (we had heard this last week, but wasn't sure it was for public consumption yet) that Marc Sterne has left WTEM to work at WTWP on the all-new TK show (starting 2/20 @ 8.30 AM).

Great news, but we'll miss Sterno's baseball round-up. Maybe TK will allow visits from Uncle Morty.

more articles on TK's return

Mark Coale

POST RADIO lands TK

Well, it wasn't 980 after all. How do you like that?

TK will be starting in February on Washington Post Radio (WTWP) and not WTEM.

DCRTV says that Legendary Postie Ben Bradlee put in a call to TK that may have swayed his decision.

Who will be his sidekick? Will Andy Polley leave his longtime home at 980 ? not likely. What about Gary "Big Time" Braun, last heard on XXX as part of the John Riggins Show? maybe.

Our suggestion: pair TK with the Post's Sports Bogger, Dan Steinberg. He's funny, he knows sports, he works for the Post and currently writes in the paper in that same Page 2 spot where TK used to do his columnettes.

The Post story here

Mark Coale
Odessa Steps Magazine

Danny Boy gets a piece of Mr Tony

As reported by DCRTV and confirmed by people in the DC area who listened to the Riggo Show today, Dan Snyder's XXX ESPN station will be carrying PTI on the radio.

You may recall that PTI used to broadcast on ESPN Radio at 7 PM ET a few years ago. How long ago? Chuck Wilson was still on Gamenight right after it.

Likely, that's the only way the Danny will have Mr. Tony on his airways.

Gossip sites like DCRTV (and even the Post) say TK will be choosing between 980 and the Post Radio Station if he comes back to radio before (likely) a second season (sigh) of MNF with Joey the Tongue and That Nice Young Man Mikey Tirico.

Our sources (which do extend beyond reading other peoples' websites and bitching about places that banned you) say nothing is imminent and the big meeting at 980 last week was not TK-related, but had to do with a shuffling of Clear Channel suits.

Mark Coale
Odessa Steps Magazine

Is he coming back soon?

Rumors are swirling that TK could be back soon on Sportstalk 980.

More as actual facts present themselves.
