Skkorp and nidan both played the "we can't talk about it" cards previously. I have no problem with that except if they cannot talk about, why bring it up? .


Thats all I am saying! :thumbup:

and that is exactly what he does and has been doing. he will say there is something going on or that the players don't like green, but he never says who what where or when. He is basically slandering the team when he does stuff like that.

at this point it really is pointless, because he will always have an excuse..so... :shrug:

It is easy to tear soemthing apart when you dont have to take responsibility for it. I am sure he does have some insider info but to continually say "I know this or that but I cant talk about it" is not fair to the listner.

If he says "I know this or that and I will tell you friday or tomorrow once I get the nod" fine!

But just ripping at people with no reprocustions seems unfair to me :shrug:

a buddy of mine used to work for a certain big 4 local sports franchise. He'd tell me a couple things off the record, but I kept it under my hat because i didn't want to endanger him and betray the trust.
If you're a big fan of a team, it can be hard to NOT blab insider stuff, but i never would say "I know stuff - can't tell you, though" - that's just button pushing....

It's the only local show on during that timeslot.

and 1060 is the flagship station. why in the world would they continue to accept someone basically telling the "fans" that there is trouble brewing but not get to it?

if he wants to bash the cards and the team there are plenty of other stations... not being paid by the cardinals to host their games and offer other cardinal related programming.

I noticed that his column is not on the Cards sight anymore. My sources tell me that some of the..Oh excuse me I can't tell you that, what I can tell you is that MJ has xcvcvbxzvcxc for lunch. So now you know what I don't know about anything you were thinking about. The facts remain clear that if it wasn't for the little people all the big people would feel small.

RUMOR has it that Jurecki is a NEPHEW of Dan Rather... SOURCES are always protected, but CREDIBLE.... :p

Becuase we were trying to give the folks here as much as we could without violating confidences. I'm sorry that you didn't appreciate that, would you rather we give you no information.

I say keep doing what you are doing :thumbup:

I would like to ask though..... would you tend to lean towards the negative line of thinking ( jurecki) or would your take on the cards organization take a more positive slant.

I specifically mean as how DG relates to his players and the organization.

Jurecki gets dumber everyday. I think all logic has passed him by, and all we can hope for is somebody puching him (breaking his jaw). So that his mouth can get wired shut for about 4 months and we won't have to put up with his trash until after the season. When (in fact) we will be a competetive team, and he will have no choice but to eat crow, and be more positive.:trout:

I am glad that I am no longer there to listen to Jurecki every day. I thought that guy was idiot even before I left AZ. Now, I get to listen to Yankee talk all day long on NY sports radio - I am getting really sick of that.


BTW - they are now calling the Yankees an underdog because they have no starting pitching. "The $183 million dollar Little Engine that Could"

Green Machine-

You're IN journalism school right?

Jurecki doesn't claim to be a "journalist" because he's not.

Jurecki is a talk show host. His job is to give opinions, and of course in turn, generate interest in his talk show.

He does a good job, that doesn't mean I agree with him, but I'm listening.
The bottom line in media though is you have to protect your sources and sometimes you can't bring things out at a certain time.

Sometimes I wonder what "sources" he has left after Mac and Kendall.

Wow you really don't know the radio business. The Cards don't pay KDUS to put on other Cardinals related programming. KDUS pays for the rights to the cardinals games. They are seperate and the point of sports radio is to have guys on the air that will question the teams otherwise all you have is the old 620 sportsline with Brad "Pisspants" Cessmat. If you wanna hear someone kissing every athlete and teams ass then listen to a coaches show or listen to the positive side of sports.

That brings up an interesting thought. Maybe the Cardinals really don't mind Jurecki railing on Green. Both Green and Jurecki are at the very least stirring up interest in the Cardinals. If the Cardinals really did feel strongly against Jurecki would Pendergast be appearing on the show?

ok so the kdus pays the cards to be the flagship station.... ( i will go with that :shrug: )

But to say that all jurecki is doing is questioning the moves is a farce. He is not being objective in his criticism of the team. Does he have to be? I don't know, but I would think that it would make for better talk than "they stink" and denny is the reason why. there are plenty of reasons this team is losing not just because of the coach.

Should he kiss their butts? no, but if he is so critical of them, then ask the tough questions when he interviews players and coaches, which he never does.

It isnt questioning a team (and again I dont hear this so I could be waaaay off) but its his way of ripping the team, the moves, DG and claiming it came from inside sources he cannot reveal. If thats how you want to play the game just say it is your opinion and unless you can reveal your source dont bring it up. Its quite simple.

"Someone close to Espo told me that he was really into wearing women's clothes and dancing around with blow up dolls. I cant reveal my sources mind you, but it is a very reliable source!"

Now prove me wrong! :shrug:

So then i assume you guys don't like it when a guy has breaking news and says "sources within the organization say......". It's all in the business you have to beat the other guy to the punch whether or not you can reveal your sources. I know for a fact that Jurecki is friends with players and higher ups in the organization so its not like hes making **** up. If Michael Bidwill says something to Jurecki that is negative he really can't come out and say "Michael Bidwill has expressed worries about Dennis Green being another Buddy Ryan". What you guys forget is Jurecki has suffered through the same crap that we all have with this team except he has been front and center in it. He started covering the team back when Buddy Ryan was the coach and he has seen the coaching changes at every step. He doesn't buy into what Green's doing and he hasn't seen anything out of this team as of yet. You all act as if the team is 3-0 not 0-3. The fact is the offense has looked bad and Green's specialty is suppose to be offense. The bottom line is this team is still bad and the only bright spot thus far has been the defensive back field.

I got nutin' to add here...

I really shouldnt even be commenting considering I dont get to listen to him!

I have no problem with someone ripping the organization, I was just commenting how easy it is to do when you dont have to say they are your 'opinions' that in fact it is the opinion of an unnamed source.

Fair enough. I respect that point of view.

The Mushrooms sources are the AZ Republic, that's why he is wrong most of the time.
