"He (Grushecky) totally butchered everybody's name," Gio stated adding, "It was so bad and we had to pretend that it was great."
"It was terrible."
Gio recalled Joe getting all the stations' hosts names wrong - starting with his - 'Gregg Giamelli.'
"He screwed the whole thing up."
There's one problem with a bully ripping someone 9 years later safely from a studio hours away: We have the tapes and Joe Grushecky pronounced Giannotti's name perfectly.
Here's the full Pittsburgh PA 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh's Only Hometown Sports Station theme song. Yeah, Giannotti got the title and refrain wrong too.
And guess what else? The song is excellent. Not Boomer & Carton Theme Song great but...it is excellent.
Gregg Giannotti, though addicted to Twitter, never apologized to Joe (and we reached out to 93.7 to see if there was any other version our there to no avail).
Stay Classy.
