Ep145 - "Ow! That Really Hurt!" (Remembering John Sterling)

About this episode

Eric Zane and Christian Bladt honor John Sterling's legacy while discussing various media incidents and ratings.

Eric Zane and Christian Bladt honor the passing of longtime Yankee announcer John Sterling the only way they know how: by watching some of his biggest blown calls, compilations of his ridiculous catch phrases and corny nicknames, and, of course, one last look at the foul ball he took off the head. We've also got an in-depth look at how ratings for the CBS Evening News have plummeted under Bari Weiss and new anchor Tony Dokoupil, CNN's Scott Jennings uses a word on-air that you never thought you'd hear him say, plus the fallout from the Cleveland fan who stole a foul ball from a little girl. And, of course: bears.
