Who here works in San Diego?

Stay classy, San Diego?

Stay classy, Toronto, I say!

 

UCLA was at home. And all traffic reports mentioned two music festivals in downtown LA as well.

Getting to the Dodger game was good fun.

 

I've got my kiester blowing in the wind.

 

I bet Carmen had no problems ...

 

Fuck!! I would never say "Fuck" on the air!!!

 

Gosh. One city, two games, 1,853 miles apart.

What? And some of them will have DINNER during the hoopla?

May God have mercy on their souls.

 

Big events go a long way toward making this an interesting gig. Year-round short-sleeve weather doesn't hurt either. ;D

 

We had two high school football games go on at the same fucking time last Friday night. I smoked an entire pack and beat off under my desk to relieve the stress.

 

So what were the ratings for baseball and football in San Diego last night?

 

In my 23 years in the business, I've learned one thing.

"Big" events --- even two of them --- don't fly under the radar. Staffing is increased (usually). Deadlines are extended (usually). Everyone from the editor to the publisher and on down is in back-patting mode about what a great job everyone did.

Where desks get screwed are the nights from hell that no one saw coming --- three pages of live high schools that just --- whoops! --- happens to fall on National Signing Day with the local NBA team and the local NHL team also playing, all while two people are on vacation and absolutely no provisions were made to keep the night from being anything other than a clusterfuck.
