[TV orNotTV] ESPN Dumps the Schwab

2013-06-19 Thread Mark Jeffries
Howie Schwab, the 26-year veteran researcher at the Worldwide Leader who 
was the biggest genuine sports geek at a place that you think you would be 
filled with sports geeks (and among, other things was rewarded for it by 
becoming the Ben Stein of a game show called Stump the Schwab), has been 
given the ax as part of the Disney-ordered corporate layoffs for seemingly 
no other reason than too big a salary--but hey, how about that new 
SportsCenter set that's costing perhaps how much they paid Schwab for his 
26 years of service to the sports fans of America?:

Oh, yeah, Schwab's counterpart at ESPN the Magazine also got dumped.  What 
a time for Fox to start Fox Sports One...

Re: [TV orNotTV] ESPN Dumps the Schwab

2013-06-19 Thread David Bruggeman
I'm kind of surprised Schwab was still with the four-letter, given the 
increasing emphasis on (occasionally informed) opinion in Bristol.  It's too 
bad he's out the door, and it would be nice to see either the sports channels 
at NBC or FOX grab Schwab and his print colleague.

Re: [TV orNotTV] ESPN Dumps the Schwab

2013-06-19 Thread Joe Hass
Quite simply, all that ESPN gives a rat's ass about right now is obtaining
sports properties and meeting Disney's profit goals (despite the obvious
conflict between the two points). Everything else is irrelevant.

As for FS1, I have a horse in this race, as fellow former The Scarlet
Letter (Athens High School, Troy, Michigan) writer Ryan Field got the call
from Fox Sports Detroit to do hosting work there. While I have a general
dislike of Fox Sports, I hope FS1 buries ESPN deeper than the Marina Trench.

The veteran country singer was never a crossover success until the end of 
the 70s, when thanks to an infamous direct-response ad for a greatest hits 
album he became sort of a mainstream star, if you can call being a regular

[TV orNotTV] SemiNoTV: Veteran Country Music Writer Chet Flippo Dies at 69

2013-06-19 Thread Mark Jeffries
At his death, he was editorial director at CMT (and we presume that with 
CMT's current emphasis on reality shows and Gordon Ramsay reruns, he spent 
more time on the web site), but Flippo was a well-respected critic and 
writer specializing in country and roots music--he was Billboard's 
Nashville bureau chief for many years and among other books wrote an 
acclaimed biography of Hank Williams:

From HBO's Facebook page:

We're all in shock and feeling immeasurable sadness at the loss of a
beloved member of our family. James Gandolfini was a special man, a great
talent, but more importantly a gentle and loving person who treated
everyone no matter their title or position with equal respect. He touched
so many of us over the years with his humor, his warmth and his humility.
Our hearts go out to his wife and children during this terrible time. He
will be deeply missed by all of us.
