9 p.m. - 12:00 a.m.
Time to check what SEN’s Yankee Doodle Dandies have up for grabs on a Sunday night. It’s 9 p.m. and Mr. Salisbury is solo and starts off keeping a close eye on the game 3 NBL final. Steve doesn’t let the terrible attendance in game 1 pass without criticism. Crosses to his buddy, Wyatt Earp at Hisense arena where Anstey has got the boot from the game.
It’s now on to the story of Eddie McGuire putting an alleged ban on Age writers. Ah-ha, Steve the one who still reads the Age. Smart move, though. Expecting the switchboard and SMS to light up here. Uses an example of President Barry H. Obama as an analogy for Eddie J. McGuire keeping stum and above the Caroline Wilson article. Obama came through one of the most corrupt state political systems (Illinois) in America that gave little respect to any media it didn’t like. Steve should refer to the Fairness Doctrine that Obama‘s tax-dodging Party want to re-introduce to silence Republican talk radio. Poor analogy. Now says he thinks the Age is Melbourne’s largest paper. I guess it is if you don’t include readership and ad revenue. He should change direction pronto. He does.
Steve’s sounding pretty smooth, though, which is a far cry from the shemozzle called On The Rise on Sunday morning. No try-hard forced-humour stuff. Tonight’s music theme is based on single men improving their chances with the fairer sex. “Procreation music,” and Steve will take calls on it. Well it’s after 9 p.m. and the kiddies should be in bed. A broad first hour offering multi talkback topics by the sounds, as Eddie-talkback begins with Steve again calling for Eddie J. to stay above media shots at him. Don’t hold your breathe on that.
There’s a clear Colin Cowherd feel to Steve’s style here. I like this, as he covers NAB Cup and offers a footy opinion. A little Marvin Gaye, too, as Kangaroos fan, Steve hits on the subject of King Carey going back to North after the break.
Finally a cricket reference, long overdue since we’re murderin’ the bums in the Second Test. I’ll giving Steve a pass on that since it’s the lunch break. Updates the score a 1-100 and dumps on people for writing Aussies off, and muses about IPL. After the last break he monologues his way to the 10 O’clock news. See, it’s not too hard, Richo.
It’s a Darrell Eastlake HUGE opening week of NFL free agency, the Suns look like missing the NBA play-offs, baseball’s spring is upon us with Manny signing with the Dodgers, and Alexander Ovechkin now clearly the biggest thing on the rink. So there’s plenty of stuff for solo Stevie boy to work with.
Opens with house cleaning details of the NBL game 3 rumble.
On to the NFL.
Steve:
“Talent alone is not enough, it’s just not!”
“It’s like a juicy steak is not a meal unless you put a baked potato and a salad with it; ah, a pretty girl is not wife material unless she can cook, unless she‘s gonna be a good mom, unless she’s got a good personality; all those different things;” segues to the big story of the day being Terrell Owens signing with the Buffalo Bills in the NFL.
(please note I used quotation marks on the cook, good mom, and personality stuff
)
He covers all angles of the story pretty well but should have clarified that the Cowboys will get hit a total of $14 million against the cap next year for cutting two players this past week and the sacked Owens has pocketed the $12.9 million signing bonus extension last year and the $6.5 million in ’09 from the Bills is guaranteed. That’s $19.4 million guaranteed for two years in the NFL at age 34-35. Very, very rare occurrence. But I’m knit-picking.
Forty-Niners fan, Steve lets his dislike of former Forty-Niner, the aforementioned TO get in the way of a few details. Such as the impact he will have in freeing up the Buffalo stodgy offence.
Hmmm, TO seems to be the start and finish of the NFL free agency talk although he acknowledges there‘s lots of FA movement.
After the break Steve crosses to buddy, Earp for NBL wash-up before heading on to NBA yap in the next segment. He gets a bullseye by addressing the Suns and Shaq’s play and covering Lakers play as well as other stories including the Boozer’s return to Utah’s line-up, while taking the odd talkback call.
After the next break it’s an interview with journo from Sacramento Bee newspaper covering the Sacramento Kings. With Ed away the mice will play. Steve’s being a homer talking about his 49ers (T.O. left in ’03) and Kings in the first hour. Goes on to cover several NBA stories. Steve covers his rear by claiming he gets lots of queries for Kings stuff from listeners.
Trivia quiz after the news at 11 o’clock and it seems from the answers Steve should have done an early story on Matt Cassell, before moving on after a break with an interview with Aussie baseball’s Director of Operations, Tom Nicholson currently in the U.S. for the World Baseball Classic. Good relevant interview for mine: Australian/US sports connection.
After another break it’s coverage of college sports featuring one of America’s biggest events: March Madness. Steve makes good comments on the event’s contemporary stature.
A couple of holes in BITUSA for mine, and I once contacted Steve about it. Hence I know he’s a ripper bloke, partly because he didn’t tell me to get stuffed. Full-time work and bubbies taking lots of his time.
Finishes show covering SMS on the Bills and the TO effect and also plugs US radio hosts Jim Rome and Colin Cowherd‘s radio technique, a style he seems to be smartly learning from. O.K. show.
USA sports show or not, it’s Aussie radio and no cricket score with Hughes and Ponting reeking havoc in Durban. Steve’s solo on US sport, so the show’s producer is at fault, too. No live cricket score for over 2 hours and 1 score in three hours needs to be addressed, compadres. Especially with Hughes on his way to Test history.
