This year, MLBN added a Chris “Mad Dog” Russo show. Why? Because of Russo’s expertise and thoughtful observations of baseball? He never previously had provided any.
He was hired for how he acts and whom he is supposed to attract. His career has been predicated on forced and furious defamations rooted in rotten guesswork, verbal recklessness and the need to make noise. You now can make a fortune just by making noise.

Why did WFAN/CBS replace Don Imus with Craig Carton? For Carton’s sports expertise or for his willingness to confuse sophomoric vulgarity with comedy, to engage in childish name-calling and ad hominem attacks and the salacious objectification of women as they fall on his “hot babe” and “ugly broad” meters?
And still no TankMush like term for what CC does. Sad.
