Entertainment whores

I'm sitting here in the newsroom, and the TV is on. One of the entertainment "tabloid" shows is on, the one with Pat O'Brien. And I wonder...

What the fuck happened to Pat? He used to be a fairly respected sports guy, doing NBA studio show and some sideline stuff on CBS. When did he lose all self-respect and decide to become another showbizzy tabloid television whore spending his life worrying about whether Britney's out drinking, where Anna's going to be buried or when Paris' next video's hitting the 'web? Jesus.
Kevin Frazier's on the same path. Used to be very good sports guy on Cincinnati local Fox affiliate, did college basketball broadcasts, then moved up to ESPN. Presto-change-o, and he's Mary Hart's fucking sidekick reporting on Courtney Cox's pregnancy.

Ponderous, man. Ponderous. Do people really not give a fuck what they cover, if the money's right? Could you? I couldn't. Would rather -- as someone on SportsJournalists.com once said -- play piano in a whorehouse.
Venting done.

 

I'm not sure how playing a piano in a whorehouse is a bad thing. Sounds like a pretty decent job to me.

 

I think Kevin saw Bristol as a pinnacle and a holy grail, then moved up there and saw what it was for real, then...ET Weekend anchor...s-s-s-s--suuuuuure!

 

Frazier was given more $$$ to jump from SC. Apparently DJ Stewy wasn't going to move out of the way for Kevin and Fred Hickman. The only time you see Hickman now and that's the NBA pre-game show.

O'Brien's been a media hound. Ever since the Lakers' Dynasty back in the 80's ended, it wasn't hard for Pat to pick up work chasing entertainers around and kissing their ass. Of course if you throw in Betsy, the cell phone, cocaine, he can make you go fucking crazy!!!!!!

 

Don't know there's enough money for me to seriously consider a job in which you've just spent a week working on the Anna Nicole Smith story.

Would. End. My. Life.

 

Entertainment pays better than sports...

 

Oh, you'd spend a week on it, but you wouldn't do much work. And I suspect it pays well.
