DMN Mosley: Notes from Terminal D...and stuff about The Ticket

Notes from Terminal D...and stuff about The Ticket


According to several sources, a certain reporter decided to knock out some pushups outside the room in which NFL owners were meeting late Tuesday evening. This local reporter somehow gets credentialed to every major sporting event in America despite the fact that no one has ever seen his work published.

By the way, Jerry Jones has his sons, Stephen and Jerry Jr., sitting in with him during the negotiations. Jerry Jr. has always kept a low profile, but he did lead the negotiations with The Ticket radio station and may be assuming a larger role in the operation.

Ticket management and its broadcasters have gone out of their way to talk about how the new radio partnership with the Cowboys will not change their editorial content. Jerry joked that he's asked the station to "lay off him."

I've heard folks mention that this will put the station in a tough position when it comes to covering the team, but I disagree.

The Ticket has become a behemoth in this market because of its entertainment value, not for its newsgathering capability. If the station broke news on a regular basis, I would say this was a conflict of interest. But that's not the case.

The dumbest thing The Ticket could do is try to become a "legitimate" sports radio station.

if the ticket is depending on 10 year old "fake whoever" jokes to carry the humor load, norm with the most obscene laugh known on radio and NO sense of humor (love his knowledge, just leave jokes to the pro's dude) and fart jokes, they've got problems.

i quit listening for the most part cause after a few weeks it's pretty much all the same, different day, different name, same old stuff.

Yeah, Their jokes are pretty lame, but some are funny with the fake stuff. But thats like once in a bluemoon type of thing.

I don't know, if I wanted to listen to good potty/sex Humor, I would rather listen to Howard Stern or late afternoon Russ Martin in dallas Local. At least they are original mostly.

Personally, I tune out Sports radio, after football season myself, unless there is breaking sports story on Football or something of real interest to me. I pretty much get back to listening to Sports radio in August to late July. And that too, pretty much stick to ESPN 103.3, other than for the Troy Aikman show etc. on Ticket.

I dont see how one could give ESPN Radio credibility but dis the Ticket.... Dennis & Engel is the biggest joke the DFW radio market has seen... Chuck Cooperstein is the only "good" thing 103.3 has going for them....

I'll say, Dunham and Miller, Miller mostly, is a total ***whip!:bang2:

for what its worth, The Ticket landed the greatest sports franchise their is.

I just tuned the Ticket in again for the first time on the net in about 2 months. It seems everytime I tune them in they are talking about anything BUT sports. Just a little while ago I tuned into to see if they had any NFL CBA updates and they were talking to some 3 year old little girl trying to get her to say her name. BTW, her name was Gabriella. That was about all I could stand for the next 2 months.

Well who listens to Dennis and Engel anyway? It comes on when everybody's at work. GaC is the bomb you gotta admit. They get a ton TON of great guests and they are pretty funny without going into la-la land with some dumb joke that nobody gets (aka Dennis & Engel). And Coop is great as you mention and all the Mavs stuff they do is good...Mike & Mike in the morning is alright, at least they talk sports, the Ticket is all lame jokes too...just tell me what's going on, if I want comedy...well I'll shoot myself in the face.

I want to hear Dan Patrick talk about Barry Bonds and steroids repeating the same tired *** points over and over again for 6 consecutive hours. And repeating them the next day. And the day after that. And the day after that. Or if you're talking local, substitute Barry Bonds for Jake Delhomme and Randy Galloway for Dan Patrick.

I never have any problem with getting sports from the Ticket, especially the Cowboys. Goose Gosselin, Jerry Jones, JJT, Dan Campbell are all weekly guests. There isn't another radio station in the country, local or national, that broadcasts all 7 rounds of the draft, much less with the point of view input and anlaysis from the local team. They just don't beat dead horses to death trying to hype stories that aren't really that notable.

Cowboys' voices


I have great faith that Brad Sham and Babe Laufenberg will be back on Cowboys' radio broadcasts this season, even with the move to The Ticket.

However, if Jerry Jones wants to get persnickety about it (and he did once before with Sham), The Ticket's George Dunham is an excellent play-by-play man. He already does the PA for the games. As long as the Cowboys don't play North Texas, George would do well.

And Rich Phillips does really good work on SMU broadcasts. He's destined to get a big-time play-by-play gig someday, a la Mark Followill (whom I met back when he called Lewisville Fightin' Farmers football games).

Remember Dave Garrett, the guy that replaced Sham on the Cowboys when he got crossways with Jerry? Last time I saw him he was doing radio in Tulsa.

right on... The Ticket doesnt beat you down with sports, if there really isnt anything "newsworthy"... Like the previous poster said, do we really need to here about Barry Bonds 4 days in a row?

There are times I turn the station off the ticket, times they beat me down. But when sports news breaks, they break in..... (inside joke for p1's).

I have it on most the time during work, but flip the station to music if it gets to be a beating or a topic I don't care to hear. You can't beat their coverage of training camp. And some of the bits at the Super Bowls.

same here... i even flip to the beating that is 103.3... until I had to hear Jen Engel go on for 5 days last week and at least 1 this week about the Mavs/Spurs game..... Every single day, Den & Jen talked about whether the game was "huge" or not....:bang2: and guess what topic they talked about monday?
