I hope they book Rocco.

Rocco was the most hated person ever on the ticket. Gordon baited him one morning on the rant, and Rocco went on to bash everyone including management. He really hates rhyner.

sterl: The writer I was trying to think of who sat in on HL +1 was Ken Daley. I still can't remember where I heard his name regarding L4G. It's probably better we don't know.
Nothing unfortunate about my initials: I'm 3rd generation with them.

I think the first two posts here will answer most of your questions, Toni.

and here's the infamous Observer article:

quote:

---

Cooperstein's replacement, Rocco Pendola, would signal all that's so unnervingly wrong with The Ticket. Pendola might well be the most obtuse, most invidious personality on local radio, a guy who didn't graduate from high school, thinks Monty Python is one man, and believes it's actually possible to donate your liver while still living. And he's the antithesis of Dunham and Miller and The Hardline: a Yankee transplant who doesn't so much talk as much as he barks, screams, and yowls incessantly. Pendola is some New York City consultant's idea of a sports-radio afternoon host.

His colleagues aren't inclined to speak about Pendola on the record, though their treatment of him on the air says enough: Pendola is often portrayed as a moronic, screaming monkey. Rhyner, who lured Dunham and Miller to The Ticket five years ago, and Williams still think there's a place on The Ticket for someone like Cooperstein. Indeed, they almost demand it, fearing that the station is beginning to sound too much the same from 5:30 a.m. till 11 p.m., when relatively new host Bob Sturm signs off. (KKDA-FM's Chris Arnold takes the highly rated 10 a.m.-noon slot.)

also, here is an excerpt in Rocco's book that details a lot of things, including his final confrontation on The Rant. Skip to p.80 for the real good stuff.

Rocco's Book

[This message has been edited by sterlicious (edited 2/9/2008 11:01a).]

thanks for the link... interesting reading

Fake Nolan

the fake Nolan "how's the metroplex? you guys still have an immigrant problem up there?"

"My goal is to see if I can get corn to grow in left field".

I'm not sure if the Nolan hire was the right move for the Rangers, but it's going to be great knowing the Fake Nolan should be on more regularly.

I'm a little disappointed he didn't mention moving into the log cabin in Downtown.

That pendola blog link was posted here a very long time ago right?

Interesting read. Sounds like Rocco's life really went in the toilet with getting divorced and fired all at once. Good to see he used it as an opportunity to better himself. I am intrigued as to why he's claiming credit for Corby's marriage. Corby seemed to act like he barely knew who Rocco was.

nice Q&A article with Grubes in Quick.

quick...need Ticket trivia help. What is the name of Junior Millers fake band?

dang it, let me think. his new song is I gotta go (vertigo)

Descending Hunan

Interesting read on Rocco's scene. I never really knew the backstory of all that since I started listening in 2000.

I do find it kind of funny that Corby and Rhyner brought up Rocco yesterday and repeatedly questioned why Rocco should write about them on his blog. Rhyner was getting audibly upset and overdid it in my opinion and, frankly, led me to beleive that whatever Rocco said on his blog was spot on. It obviously unnerved Rhyner or he wouldn't have gotten so upset over it.

I think Rocco writes about it because that time in his life was obviously a huge turning point for him and deeply affected his path in life.

Outside...it's points for sex.

I didn't think he got upset

http://droppage.theticket.com/drops.html

Drop page updated. Lots of fake Tiger Woods and Nolan Ryan on the Favorites page.

That's interesting. I can't get any of the drops on the favorites page to play. But they aren't the new ones like you stated, they're the old ones and they won't play. Something is VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY fishy here.

Bacon,

They are working just fine for me. Are you trying to stream the drops directly from the site or are you downloading them first?

It's not necessarily a problem of streaming (even though I can't get the mp3's to play), it's more of when I click on the favorites page, it has all the old ones on there that I've already played before. None of the new ones are there.

clear your internet history and cache. refresh.

Didn't work.

well it's user error of some sort.
