OT: Massarotti's tearful on-air apology today

[cmasspatsfan]

This conversation seems to boil down to the role of Sports Talk Radio, I used to be a huge fan.. but lately a lot less so.
Instead of informing or discussing they have descended into the hell of creating controversy and rely on conspiracy theories. Have often heard them go on and on about athletes person lives, in the fall of '21 Bertram ( who for some reason is revered) was talking about how Gisele was unhappy as Tom chose Tampa Bay instead of Miami, apparently Tampa Bay was not as glamorous as Miami. Every time I tune it I hear these ridiculous unfounded nontroversies.. what really gets me upset is when this happens, the guy who knows most about the Pats, Zolak is silent or leaves the room. They seem to believe it is their role to "gin up" controversies.. then I run into someone who tells me did I hear about (insert idiotic sports story) and I say did you hear that on Sports Talk radio??

It is their role to gin up controversies, one of the reason Merloni gave when he left to do Sox games was that it was tiring always coming up with a different angle to get people talking. I can't listen to either station now with Adam Jones in the afternoon, he's way worse than Felger.

The Herald apology is still out there, though behind a pay wall.

Apology

On Feb. 2, 2008, the Boston Herald reported that a member of the New England Patriots’ video staff taped the St. Louis Rams’ walkthrough on the day before Super Bowl XXXVI. While the Boston Herald …

Massarotti blows. His comment blows. Everything blows in Tony Mazz's world.

I thought it both sucked AND blowed.

New O)rleans had temporary cutbacks in all municipal departments because of pandemic-related drops in tax revenue. It does not take "hours" for 911 call response. And Jackson, Miss. has the nation's highest per-capita murder rate.

Open your eyes Dude…. The corrupt Mayor is about to get ousted & New Orleans has surpassed St Louis as the murder capital of America.

Is that a good thing?

Now let’s talk 911 response

Somehow waiting 2 1/2 hours for police to respond to a 911 call “on average from a survey” is not a good thing, but your welcome to try to spin it in your favor.

New Orleans survey shows alarming NOPD response times

The survey showed the average response time for an NOPD officer to respond to a 911 call is over two hours.

I knew taking hours to answer a 911 call was nonsense. Here is your "spin" direct from the New Orleans Police Department:

Clarification of Response Times Analysis - NOPD News

nopdnews.com

"Unfortunately, the data presented to the City Council's Criminal Justice Committee today conflate response times in true emergencies with response times for routine non-emergency service calls, including calls which do not even involve an alleged crime. The best measure of how well we are fulfilling our duty to respond to 911 emergencies is to confine the response time average and median calculations to Code 2 or higher calls for service."

As I stated, Jackson, Miss. is the nation's "murder capital" as defined by incidents per capita. You can't go by straight numbers, what matters is RATE.

Analysis: For second straight year, Jackson’s homicide rate ranks highest in U.S. among major cities

Despite a drop in killings last year, the Capital City’s homicide rate still managed to surpass every other major city in the U.S., according to a 3 On Your Side analysis of dozens of municipalities across the country.

Well, since you can't tell an official police department press release from a "left-wing rag" or a racist faux pas from "the truth," chances are you couldn't find your own ass with both hands. A word of advice: do yourself a favor and stay home, lock the doors and don't answer the phone come April 1.
