Keith Olbermann Sums Up the Arrogance of New Yorkers

I am not generally a fan of Mr. Olbermann because he comes off as arrogant himself. But he nails it and sums up my general feeling of our neighbors to the north in New York City. The insulting way New Yorkers think and their belief that they are better, smarter, or more important than anyone outside of New York makes me ill. It's one reason I don't trust the owner of our basketball team the Philadelphia 76ers, one Joshua Harris. One day it could be the Newark New Jersey Sixers. He does own the New Jersey Devils hockey team too. But that's a story for another day. The bottom line is this: Soccer will never be a popular sport among Americans no matter what the New York Times says. Any sport that ends with a tie and everyone is OK with it, is a sport that's not for me. My apologies to the Sons of Ben and fans of the Philadelphia Union. Your stadium in Chester is awesome.

By the way Tony Bruno of 97.5 The Fanatic makes a regular Friday appearance on the Keith Olbermann show. So all in all Mr. Olbermann can't be all bad. Tony's take on the DeSean Jackson situation with the Philadelphia Eagles from a few weeks ago is spot on. See both videos below.

Sheinelle Jones Says Goodbye to ‘Good Day Philadelphia’

Sheinelle Jones tearfully bids farewell to FOX 29 and her co-anchor, Mike Jerrick, on “Good Day Philadelphia.” Sheinelle is signing off to spend more time with her family. I am a big fan of Sheinelle, Mike, Sue Serio, and Kacie McDonnell. They simply had great chemistry.

Steve Keeley Survival of Snow Plow Attack on Good Day Goes Viral

Fox 29 reporter Steve Keeley has became a viral sensation following the snow plow train  "attack" along a route in Woodstown, N.J. Keeley was unexpectedly hit with an avalanche of snow, but was no worse for wear and continued with the report as if nothing happened at all. Keeley also became a part of David Letterman's Top 10 List. That list featured in the third video of this post was disappointingly not funny. Good pub for Steve and the station anyway.

Mike Missanelli Returns to 97.5 The Fanatic, Will @Deadspin Retract the Story?

Mike Missanelli gave a statement today on the air on his suspension after being off the air for a week. He addresses why he was absent and apologizes for anyone who may have been offended. He also gave a history of the listener (troll) that has been harassing him with thousands of emails for four of the five years that he has been part of 97.5 The Fanatic. He categorically denied that he is homophobic.

Missanelli went on to say that the listener communicated with him that it would be impossible for authorities to find out the emailer's identity; who refers to himself  as "The Rock" (because he resembles the actor and wrestler). He regrets the perception that the emails that were sent to the Deadspin website implied that he was homophobic. He also stated that he would no longer communicate with listener's through email following this experience.

Q102 Announces the Return of "Jeff and Josh" During the Afternoon Drive

Duo Returns Home to Philly- Q102 Philly announced today the return of station veterans, Jeff 'Ratboy' and Josh 'Staypuff,' as its new afternoon drive hosts, beginning Friday, February 14.

The Jeff and Josh Show will air weekdays from 3-7:00 p.m.  They will return to Philly from Tampa, where they recently hosted evenings for the past seven years.

"It's hard to leave palm trees and sun, but not when it comes to a station that has been part of our lives since we were kids," said Jeff and Josh.  "We are beyond excited to give everything we have to our new show.  Get ready, Philly, we’re coming home!"

Mike Missanelli Has Been Suspended from 97.5 The Fanatic

Mike Missanelli, the afternoon host at 97.5 The Fanatic has been suspended indefinitely for using homophobic language in an email exchange with a listener who was not a fan of the host.

The suspension came after several emails between Missanelli and the listener were made public by the website Deadspin. Mikey Miss repeatedly called the listener a "homosexual."

Former KYW-TV Channel 3 news anchor Larry Mendte, who knows a thing or two about emails, came to Missanelli's defense in a PhillyMag.com article and says the suspended sports-talk host was “trying to be clinical” with the email troll.

After the announcement of his suspension, Missanelli issued a statement apologizing for his actions.
