He will pontificate and tell you how much you suck. My favorite part is when he pulls out his cell phone, taps at the screen, and says 'this is where everyone gets their news'. Everyone should brace themselves. They are going to cut cut cut and Foxify that joint. They really don't care the market isn't a "fox news" market. They are there to capitalize on football.

He did it by doing everything 180 degrees different from what everyone else was doing. He went against the "wisdom" of all the consultants and media gurus and it worked. After he left, they ripped out everything he'd done ("He was just lucky" one suit said in a meeting; I was there), and the ratings started their slow slide. They've now obliterated everything he's done and they're in the tank. So what do they do? Do *more* obliterating, like something different's going to happen this time, rather than putting back what worked. They'll tell you times are different and things have changed. Of course, they were saying exactly this to Fred back in the 1970s and 80s, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-46233438333915857152015-06-22T15:53:45.655-07:002015-06-22T15:53:45.655-07:00@12:46
