  1. Bobby probably would have never considered SLU. He told Grawer it was a bad situation twenty years ago and to take the Bradley job when he had the chance. Things have changed, but I don't know if they have changed enough yet.

  2. I agree with you there. It is almost like they are morbidly holding these pieces just for when an incident like this happens.

    I really didn't want to get into this argument, but here I go. If you want to change the law there is a process behind. Change the Constitution. You cannot decide what rights you like in it and what rights you don't. They are all guaranteed rights. If you want to change the law on this issue that has to be done. I, personally, am a supporter of the second amendment.

  3. not get into this debate on here. This is not directed to anyone specific on here, but no good is going to come from this topic being debated on this site. It is just going to end up getting a lot of people pissed off at each other on here.

  4. Maybe we are just looking at it two different ways. When it comes to the media, political, business, and socail elites Imus has a much larger influence. Thus his influece is then multiplied many times further down stream. When it comes to eyes and ears alone Scott reaches many more people than Imus. But, I will concede that Imus has a far larger influence than Scott on the total public debate. Imus has for decades had influence over what the public debate is due to the fact that so many opinion shapers listened to his show.

    Courtside sometimes I just like to have a good debate on here. Everything I post isn't always exactly what I believe.

  5. I will say confidently that more people in America knew who Stuart Scott was than knew who Don Imus was before this incident. Stuart for the past few years has had one of the highest Q ratings for anyone involved in the sports broadcasting business.

    Having high profile journalists and politicans does not make you influential on the population as a whole. It makes you influential in those circles. I already conceded earlier that Imus was influential in those circles.

    His rankings have not been in the top 10 in NYC for the 12+ book for years. Certain demos yes. But overall his ratings have lagged for years. He drew and delivered results for advertisers to certain demographics.
