Zakk & Jack, Indiana football coach get into heated discussion

Ha, ha! You're right--the Coats are unrelated to the Old Days in the midwest.

You may remember that through the fifties & sixties (at least) NFL games were pretty much limited to a Game of The Week and (IIRC) whatever the regionally closest team or teams might be. Seems to me that what we usually got was the Bears or Cardinals. But very few people really gave a shit about the NFL back then. MNF and ESPN made it what it is today. 

Regardless, Chicago was too far away to visit frequently--and too hard to navigate. Indy was much closer and much more manageable. So for folks in my small town, Indianapolis was "The Big City.

I'm not old enough to remember the Cards at Comiskey Park, so it was Bear games on WISH-TV for us, although I do remember quite a few Cards games on CBS as well when they were in St. Louis - maybe as the doubleheader game.  IIRC, WFBM/WRTV carried Bengals games when they started up.  I don't remember which AFL team they carried before that, assuming NBC (and ABC before '65) had regional coverage.

At it again on this horrible show, yesterday and today Z and J were arguing openly whether Carson Palmer is an elite QB or not. Just uncomfortable radio to say the least, they argue like little kids instead of adults. Zakks voice is just awful, why is he on radio? I could see maybe as a DJ (definitely sounds like Dr. Demento) but not sports talk. I can't stand any of the other shows on in my market during my drive time so I am forced to listen to this.

So, as noted in the other thread, Zakk and Jack were given their pink slips right before Christmas, and Kevin Wilson still has his job.

So, merry Christmas Zakk and Jack.  After acting like all-around douchbags for a year, you got to go home last week and tell your wives and kids that daddy is out of a job and there will have to be some lifestyle changes.

Sorry, tomficker, you backed the wrong horse in this race.

Did their home station fire them or did they just lose their syndication?
