God if that is the ruling, Sosa will never get on the sports page. It’s not a sport.īecause yeah, sports guys don’t juice. 90% are probably juiced up and they just run around. Alright Tim, where would you put the story? He is a wrestling fan and he can’t even figure out the radio business. Alright Brian, you are the editor of a major newspaper, the New York whatever, where do you put the story? I’m not into wrestling, but I’ll make an argument right here. First of all, he invented the sleeper hold, don’t let anyone tell you anything differently. I vaguely know the Hulk wrestled, there is a guy named Jimmy Superfly Snuka when I was a kid, I liked him a lot. Now the Compus (sp?) was incredibly offended by this and I know what you are saying, Colin, it is wrestling. So, I could die the same way, I could die in the same city, but becuase you are more renoun, it affects where it’s going to be put. But I’d probably make it, there would be a line in USA Today. Now lets continue on to more important news. The Herd, obnoxious, not a very nice guy, got run over by a bread truck. If I got hit by a bread truck today, and it’s entirely possible in my neighborhood because bread trucks drive way too fast, but if I was run over today, I might get a little blip. When I was doing my little show in Portland, and if I had gotten hit by a bread truck, I wouldn’t make the USA Today. I’m not…it’s nothing against him, but we decided as a society, certain people get in the newspaper when they die. So you are wasting space in the Entertainment section. Entertainment people don’t…sports fans who watch wrestling don’t read the Entertainment section. Sports fans know him, but it’s not an athlete in sports. I thought it was Eddie Guardado, I told you this morning, Eddie Guardado, Mariners closer.Įddie Guerrero dying is far more signifcant than Eddie Guardado dying. (Cowherd asks someone else in studio if he heard of Eddie Guerrero) So if you are a newspaper, you have an audience. I instantly knew this guy and I would love to read more about it. I’ve never even heard of him.Īgain, what do we say all the time on this show? Don’t assume everyone thinks the way you do. Then why doesn’t Eddie Guerrero go in? He is on TV. He goes into the Entertainment/Life section. What about a TV actor? What if a soap opera star died? I would put The Rock in because he has done movies. I wouldn’t put him anywhere in the newspaper. He isn’t a sports figure.Īgain, why would I put him in the sports page? But that would obviously go in the sports page because he is a professional athlete of some sort. Now if a hockey player died, it would mean nothing to me. Just because you don’t know who Eddie Guerrero is doesn’t make him any less of a celebrity to other people. We as a society decided that certain people’s deaths get in the paper and certain people’s deaths do not. If it goes down carrying Jim Lewis, it isn’t news. Lets say a cessna (plane) goes down carrying Martha Stewart, it’s news. Yes, it was quite promising (makes another joke). (Another host interjects – I believe his name was Chad)Įxcept for his wonderful movie career (in a joking manner). Now somebody argues with me, what about Hulk Hogan? I wouldn’t put Hulk Hogan’s death in the sports section. First of all, it’s not sports, it is theater. Now…you could say, whoa, that is insensitive. But I made the argument that there are certain careers, if I was the sports editor of a large major newspaper, I don’t think I would put Eddie Guerrero’s death in the sports page. He was like 38 years old, died in his hotel room, nobody is quite sure why, blah blah blah, I don’t care why. It was high school wrestling and all the girls were dating the wrestlers.Ī professional wrestler died over the weekend, Eddie Guerrero. It was dark and the only people there were girlfriends and family. The last wrestling match I watched was my high school. Compus (sp?) and I got into this argument earlier today.
